China Tour Reviews

On October 18, 2024, Zhangjiajie was alive with thousands of locals, hikers, and travellers all drawn to its natural wonders. Our guide, Mr. Luo Jia Le, expertly kept our group of eight together, skillfully helping us avoid the long lines and any potential challenges along the way. With his guidance, we smoothly navigated Zhangjiajie's breathtaking sites, moving seamlessly through fast-track services to access each scenic area. The adventure included an exhilarating ride up the Bailong Elevator, a battery car tour of Tianzi Mountain, and a visit to the nature reserve, where we witnessed the awe-inspiring formations of peaks, columns, plateaus, and natural arches. These geological marvels truly defy description. Only by standing in Zhangjiajie can one fully appreciate the magnificence and uniqueness of these towering landscapes. Photos simply cannot capture the profound beauty and wonder that the mountain ranges and peaks of Zhangjiajie offer. it's an experience that lives in memory far more vividly than any image could convey.

Tianmen Mountain held an almost otherworldly charm, with dense fog wrapping the landscapes in mystery. every steps we took was enveloped in a soft, silvery haze that transformed familiar surroundings into something enchanted and unknown. When we reached the Tianmen Cave, the mystical ambiance grew stronger. This natural arch carved by time into the mountains rugged face felt like a gateway, a portal that separated the world below from something far beyond our understanding. Standling before it, we felt both small and spellbound, sensing the quiet power of nature at work over countless centuries.

Throughout this surreal experience, we were fortunate to be guided by Mr. Luo, whose calm attentiveness provided a grounding presence amidst the mystique. He was always vigilant, ensuring our safety as we carefully traversed the wet, slick paths, particularly mindful of our group's seniors. His expertise and thoughtfulness were clear in every step he took, offering gentle encouragement and a watchful eye as he led us up to the Tianmen Cave. His genuine care allowed us to lose ourselves in the mountain's wonder, knowing we are in safe hands, Mr. Luo wasn't just a guide; he become a guardian of our journey, making our day not only mesmerizing but also unforgettable.

Wendy and the Travel China Guide people did the most complete job that you could image! We have been using their services for 16 years and have never been disappointed!!!!!

The tour of the Terracotta Army was excellent. We were advised the day before of the picking up time and the guide arrived to our hotel punctually. The planning worked very well as we got to the place early enough to avoid the big crowds. Our guide Celine was great. She gave us a detailed historical background on the way there, so we were able to appreciate more what we were seeing. Then at the actual site she directed us to the places where we could best appreciate the important details. Then she suggested an excellent restaurant to have lunch. Our small group (French family with two young kids, a Japanese man, an Australian woman, and the two of us from Canada) was friendly and interested. Celine's English is very good, very easy to understand and she has a very cheerful and appealing personality.

When I found Travel China Guide on the internet, I was a little wary, as I could not meet anyone face to face in Sydney (my home town). However all my dealings by email were dealt with promptly and super-efficiently by Wendy Lee, my appointed consultant. I also contacted Wendy by phone and was provided with excellent assistance.

After discussions with Wendy, we decided on a private tour (for a couple) which covered Beijing, Xian, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai. We also opted for days to ourselves at some of these cities, which was no problem to arrange.

Our overall experience on this tour was absolutely marvellous ! Each of our guides were extremely knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, were very friendly and offered many helpful suggestions and advice, not just about the tour. I cannot praise them highly enough.

I thoroughly recommend China Travel Guide to anyone intending to see any part of China, you will enjoy a very memorable experience. They know China intimately, are very easy to deal with and are completely genuine. China is worth seeing more than once - we will definitely use them again.

Thank you Wendy for your superb assistance !

Travel China Guide provided outstanding service and communication, and we had an exceptional trip. We had used Travel China Guide on our previous trip to China (2015) to purchase several train tickets so we were somewhat familiar with their services. On this occasion, because we were traveling to Tibet, we booked a private tour with them. Travel China Guide was extremely organized and our Travel Consultant, Emily Xin, was very responsive and efficient, and took care of all our needs and customization requests. She was very proactive in ensuring that everything was organized so that the trip would go smoothly, including arranging for us to pick up the official Tibet Travel Permit during a short transfer in Beijing airport. Overall, Emily provided outstanding customer service, and we had absolute confidence in her.
As for the actual trip, travelling to Everest Base camp, starting in Lhasa, was epic. Thanks to our outstanding guide Tsedron, we were introduced to the traditions of Tibet, learned about the history and Tibetan Buddhism, while enjoying spectacular mountain and river scenery. The trip was extremely well organized while feeling relaxed and well taken care of. The hotels were excellent, as was the driver who was very friendly and who drove very well and safely over long distances and mountain passes. The expertise and kindness shown by Tsedron while explaining all the sights really stood out and made the trip incredibly special. Overall, this was an exceptional and memorable trip, we would definitely use Travel China Guide again.

The respond from our travel consultant Ms Wendy is fast and efficient. We are very impressed with her efficiency. As for the driver, 程岳, he is very committed and accommodating to all our special request. The same goes to Ms Rita and Ms Julie, our tour guide who accompany us for the whole trip have been very professional and understanding. We have been well taken care of by the excellent team that you have arranged for us to make our Xi’an trip enjoyable and memorable.

Hi Wendy, I will never forget our trip in China, because of the people in China- very kind, because of the chinese history, because of the shows! This is my opinion about our trip in China. All turguides was very helpful and kind. Nevertheless in tbe world we didn't recive such good service. I will never forget tourguides in Zhangjiajie, Xian, Datong, Beijung, Tibet. All cars and drivers were on high level! Acribatic show in Shanghai and Yangshou ware breadtheking, the show in Xian about the silk road was extraordinary( thanks to Carol who advised it) The hotels were ok. For us the best hotel was in Datong, for me the worst was in Xian. All our experience in Tibet was amazing. For us the most interesting thing in China is Potala, after that Tianmen in Zhangjiajie and Mosk in Xian. I have expeted that my commrets will be bigger, but at the moment I coudn't write more. Please ask me if you have any quesrions. Thank you, Wendy for the organisation! Elena
