LycurguzHassle free, family friendly Forbidden city-Mutianyu day tour!Helen, our tour guide was amazing. She catered to all our needs and she was really kind and friendly. Even with our slow pace (with kids) we're still able to finish all itineraries in time.
She also went above and beyond to ensure you get the best pictures. She also recommended us the itinerary for our own free time the next day (before flight).
Driver was kind and punctual. Moon also expedited our reservations smoothly. No hassle.
Sendy SAmazing!Helen Has been such a helpful guide to us! She even cares for the whole family members! Will recommend her in the more future!
ProtripsGood stuff, turned into a private tour.Enjoyed the tour, it was meant to be a small group until a family dropped out so I had a personal tour of sorts.
Everything was quick but not rushed. The guide Kevin was nice and I felt like I was able to see the highlights in Beijing that I wanted to see while on the 144 Hour visa.

David KTerracota Army and highlights of Xian in winterI chose this option as was virtually the only small group tour on offer. Great attention and communication from the start and the guide, Roger, was first class. He was friendly and attentive and had an in depth knowledge of his subject. After the amazing Terracota Army, and an optional Lunch (do it, cheap and very good food) we ended the day on the city walls. Roger said 4 hours to do the circuit - it took me 2 and a half going like crazy. Take your time and maybe do half.

Really cold, especially in the morning but it does mean less tourists and no queues.

Herbert Cher Hi... Pamazing experience with Rita as our tour guide.had an amazing experience with Rita as our tour guide. Her extensive knowledge, engaging storytelling, and warm personality made the tour truly memorable. She was attentive to everyone's needs and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. Thank you, Rita, for your professionalism and passion—you made this tour unforgettable!
Jill JAwesome experience with CelineWe had a great time in the Terracotta Army, the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Ancient City Wall. Celine, our guide, was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure that her group enjoy the tour. She even gave us her WeChat account so that we can ask her any question we might have after the tour. We truly appreciate her help and would recommend this tour!
SannibalGreat way to explore Xi'an sightsWe had an enriching day with Rita today as she shared detailed history of the areas that we had visited. Rita is an excellent and knowledgeable guide who took care of our needs well as our group was large with both elderly and young children. She was engaging and my children were reluctant to leave at the end of the tour. The pace of the tour was just right for our group and I would highly recommend this for anyone wishing to cover the major Xi'an sights in one day.

Upon our arrival at the airport round about 11.00 pm in the evening, Carol’s sincere greeting made us all feel warmly welcomed, and her detailed outline of our itinerary and the exciting things we could expect and do in Xian, rendered us all enthusiastically anticipating our adventure in this tour.
I was witness to her wealth of intelligence, patience & sensitivity, as well as remaining calm in situations that required thoughtfulness & imperturbability. One of our tour members regrettably had to leave the tour a few days after the tour began due to some unforeseen and unexpected news from home. Unfazed with the complexity of the issue - re-arranging the guest's transport from mid touring, checking out of accommodations, re-arrangements of flights, etc., Carol resolved the situation quietly and expertly. She made tremendous efforts to ensure the guest was aware at all times of the progress of assisting him to return home as speedily as possible, showing forbearance with the anxious guest. Her conduct was remarkably exemplary.
On another occasion, she showed empathy to a member who took ill & physically took the individual to the pharmacy when said individual required medication. I too benefitted from her kindness, as she waited patiently at the airport as I transferred some of the personal items from my checked luggage to my hand luggage, simultaneously ensuring that I was correctly boarded for the next leg of my journey.
Not only is Carol an excellent guide and communicator of the famous sites that we visited, she went beyond her call of duty and gave equal attention to every member in our tour group, ensuring that each individual’s needs were more than satisfactorily met. What I was most impressed about of Carol is the professional, responsible and accountable manner she conducted of herself. Carol is an exceptional tour guide and I can confidently say, without hesitation and in a heartbeat that I am more than willing join any tour that Carol Chen is the team leader. Less

He spent time explaining the history and meanings behind all of the places, which helped give us an overall understanding of what we were seeing. In China, everything has meaning.
I would be very happy recommending families book a private Shanghai tour with TCG and hope you get Ryan as your guide. Less

The choice of hotels and locations were perfect, the 3 day Cruise down the Yantzee is a must (but upgrade your allocated restaurant to VIP it's not expensive but it is quieter than the main one). I would especially like to thank Sophie Lee for assisting us with a problem in Shanghai that she took onboard and sorted for us. Would really recommend this tour and TravelChinaGuide. Less

Alex LA great way to see the sights of ShanghaiWe had a fantastic day with Chloe our guide. Despite the typhoon weather, we were able to have a good day seeing the sights and making the most of our time in Shanghai. Chloe was able to tailor the day to fit our interests and was a pleasure to spend time with. We enjoyed trying the different Shanghai speciality’s and the museum was a highlight.
flemsterIncredible ShanghaiShanghai is breathtaking ! Probably the most vibrant city on the planet. Our guide, Sophie Lee, made our day trip very enjoyable. Her expert knowledge of the city, it's hostory and it's offerings was comprehensive. Sophie tailored the day to our taste and was very helpful with extra-tour needs. We visited several cities with Travel China Guide and our experiences have been excellent. Sophie was one of our best guides ! Highly recommended

Mick GGuilin really puts on a show!As part of the excellent Classic China Tour we spent two days in Guilin with the very helpful and informative QiuyanLi as our guide for the area.
QiuyanLi ('Li' for short) met us at the airport and took us to the very impressive Reed Flute Cave complex which we really enjoyed. It can, apparently, be very busy but was not at all crowded when we visited so Li was able to show us around the caves without any difficulty.
From there we headed towards the city to see Elephant Trunk Hill. MoreAs part of the excellent Classic China Tour we spent two days in Guilin with the very helpful and informative QiuyanLi as our guide for the area.
QiuyanLi ('Li' for short) met us at the airport and took us to the very impressive Reed Flute Cave complex which we really enjoyed. It can, apparently, be very busy but was not at all crowded when we visited so Li was able to show us around the caves without any difficulty.
From there we headed towards the city to see Elephant Trunk Hill. Unfortunately, it was extremely crowded and noisy around the best viewing areas when we visited making it hard to see the best views or hear all of the commentary, despite Li's best efforts.
Our hotel, the Sheraton, was in a great location close to the river and city centre and we found the buffet style breakfasts in the coffee shop were excellent though it was very crowded both mornings. Our room was OK but just a little tired and disappointing compared to some of the others on the tour. Two comfortable chairs would have been better that just one for a couple.
The city is very interesting and friendly with markets and food options of all sorts though we did encounter some issues with misunderstandings over language translations but that can all be part of the travel experience in a foreign country.
We discovered that one of the best (and reasonably priced) options for a local meal is, ironically, the Irish pub next to the hotel which had almost no Irish meal options but some excellent Chinese ones making it a favourite of many of the locals, including Li!
The artificial waterfall which flows over the side of the Waterfall Hotel in the city at certain times in the evening is as spectacular as it is unexpected and worth the short walk.
The beautiful cruise to Yangshuo on the Li River was outstanding and one of the highlights of the whole tour. Li came along and made sure we missed nothing. It was wonderful! We had been warned that the lunch provided on the cruise might be disappointing but we enjoyed it very much and found the hospitality on the boat to be excellent.
Yangshuo was a very interesting and attractive little town where we had time for a short break before heading out to the countryside to walk around a small farming village which was quite interesting and showed us a very different aspect to local life.
There was an optional evening cruise on the Li River in the city area. We nearly didn't bother but that would have been a huge mistake. It was breathtaking and another of the highlights of our whole trip! It is so good that we think it should be included as part of the main tour. Guilin really puts on a show! Li, again, came along to make sure that we really enjoyed ourselves.
Thanks, Guilin and thanks QiuyanLi. Less- Jamie HBeautiful Yangshuo and great foodWe had a fantastic time in Guilin and Yangshuo and our guide Tom Wu and our driver were great.

Paul GalanteOutstanding views of the Li river mountains, spectacular evening show in YangshuoThe views of the mountains around the Li river were amazingly beautiful. The evening in Yanghuo was fun, especially with the addition of an evening show recommended by our guide featuring local community fishers as well as water buffaloes and cormorants :). Our guide Lily Cao was super helpful, kind, knowledgeable. A real pleasure. Thank you!- Alex LMagical time in Guilin and YangshuoWe loved our tour of Guilin and Yangshuo with our amazing guide Samantha. We would highly recommend the trip, with a good mix of activities, from the magical Li River Cruise to taking scooters around the countryside. Samantha really made sure we had a great time and is a real local expert.
LennyGreat experienceThe tour agency does a great job helping organize tours in various places and cities in China. This river cruise was no exception. The scenery is spectacular, unlike anywhere else in the world. The boats are quite comfortable, and the upper deck is large enough to accommodate all the tourists willing to spend time outside to soak in the magnificent panorama. Lunch provided on the boat is quite decent, with an option to purchase some extra items, which I greatly enjoyed local freshwater snails.

The trip was magical in many ways, including exploring the city and seeing the “pandas”climbing the buildings, having authentic tea by the river, but of course, seeing the pandas and a 4 month old baby panda . Bella is very knowledgeable about the city and is a Panda expert, knowing the names of most of the pandas in the Panda Base. We wish we had 2-3 more days in the city, and we will be back to Chengdu in the future.
311noynoyJiuzhaigou ParkMy second visit to this absolutely stunning place. The interplay of colors if lakes, waterfalls, grass and autumn foliage - neither my description or photographs can do it justice. Go, and spend more than 1 day if you can to fully absorb and enjoy this fairyland.
Beatrice TMy dream tour became realityThis was my dream tour, designed on my fondness for the Pandas. My guide Linney helped me to feel comfortable in any situation with her kindness, patience and communicational skills. The tour was a real highlight in my life, and I will surely visit China and Sichuan again. I highly recommend Travel China Guide because of my own excellent experience.
