Excellent tour experience
Windhorse tours were excellent to deal with immediately from initial contact. Communication was excellent and everything was explained clearly so it was easy for me to understand as well as helping and understanding what was suited for our needs as my father was in a wheelchair. We had a private tour in Chengdu and our guide Tina was amazing who made us comfortable and made everyday very enjoyable. Would definitely use them again when I go back to china.
Flawless 9-Day Private Sichuan Journey: Chengdu, Emei, Huanglong & Jiuzhaigou!
We booked a 9-day private Sichuan tour covering Chengdu, Leshan Giant Buddha, Mount Emei, Huanglong, and Jiuzhaigou with WindhorseTour, and every single detail was executed flawlessly. Traveling across distinct microclimates and elevations can easily become exhausting, but the team took care of all the heavy lifting. Standout logistical highlights included first-class high-speed train tickets to Huanglong-Jiuzhai to skip grueling mountain drives, seamless private Tianfu Airport transfers, and a dedicated VIP bus inside Jiuzhaigou Valley that allowed us to explore the breathtaking lakes and cascades completely crowd-free at our own pace. Every day brought unforgettable memories, from catching morning panda feeding and dressing up in Hanfu for the VIP Shuyanfu banquet to viewing the 71-meter Leshan Buddha by boat and ascending to Mount Emei’s Golden Summit at 3,077 meters. The hotel selections were spot on, especially the serene Le Méridien Emei Mountain Resort and the highly convenient Four Points by Sheraton right on Chunxi Road in Chengdu. What impressed us most was the team's thoughtful preparation. Daily briefings on weather, altitude, and layering ensured we were always comfortable, whether exploring city streets or navigating alpine glare at Huanglong. With punctual drivers, warm guides, and seamless coordination throughout, we cannot recommend WindhorseTour enough!
Awesome Classic China Private Tour!
I definitely recommend Windhorse Tour! They took care of every single aspects of our 2 weeks private tour for 4 people from Beijing to Shanghai, passing by Zhangjiajie, Chengdu and Guilin. From hotel reservation, show tickets and sightseeing tours, amazing local guides and drivers allowed us to make the most of our time in China! And your local agent is always at disposal to support and recommend!
Great 10-day tour from Beijing to Xi'an
I just returned from a 21-day solo trip to China, the first 10 of which were organized by Windhorse Tour. From the very first contact with the agency in the spring to the very last a few days afo, I was advised and assisted by a wonderful Windhorse team member. Jenny was always friendly and helpful. It was a joy to be supported by her and I felt very well taken care of before and during my trip. Booking and and payment procedures were very smooth. The travel material I received was thorough and helpful and all the pre-booked arrangements (hotels, trains, guided tours, drivers) worked without flaw.
A perfectly organised 6-days trip to Tibet
I would like to express my sincere thanks for organizing our tour. Thanks to Yuki, who was our contact person - everything went smoothly and was perfectly arranged. Our guide in Tibet - Tsering was a nice person, incredibly competent and friendly – obviously fluent in English. The driver was also courtous and helpful, driving safely and efficiently. Car was very comfortable, spacious and cozy. We managed to complete the entire tour itinerary, and even the weather was nearly perfect.
Reliable, flexible and friendly
Sylvia from Windhorse Tour did a great job looking after us. She was very flexible with a number of last minute changes and most importantly, was available to help us during the trip. Her English was very good. I can highly recommend Windhorse Tour.
Excellent support from Windhorse Tour
My agent Jenny from Windhorse Tour provided excellent customer service to me and my group before and during our custom 7-day Tibet tour. Jenny was responsive to all our needs. The driver and tour guide were punctual and delivered good service overall. I highly recommend Windhorse Tour and agent Jenny.
Great for Remote China - Tibet & Lijiang
Windhourse did a fantastic job - they developed a 100% customized tour for myself and my adjult daughter for Tibet and Lijiang, two spectacular and more remote areas of China. Everything was handled flawlessly - top notch guides with strong English fluencey and expert knowledge of the sites, excellent drivers, great local food, 5-star hotels, and airport transfers. I highly recommend them, especially for Tibet, which requires special permits and paperwork for any foreign tourist.
Top tour operator
For our trip to China, Tibet, and Nepal, we chose this operator, convinced by the recent positive reviews. It was a personalized trip for a group of four, and the quality of the service was evident from the first contact, continuing through the planning and the execution. Throughout the duration of the tour, almost twenty days, we felt looked after and protected, even in the handling of a few mishaps and last-minute changes to the schedule. Always with efficiency and cordiality. The local guides during the various stops were excellent. I can only confirm that it is a quality tour operator. Special mention for Sylvia, who was our coordinator the whole time; she was truly capable.
Siguniang to Yading
My parents and I did a 7-Day tour from Siguniang to Yading by van. Sylvia was our coordinator and Andy was our guide. Sylvia was extremely responsive both throughout the booking process and during the tour when some unexpected things came up. Andy was also very attentive and it was great to have his perspective (as a Tibetan) while traveling on the plateau. Truly a trip of a lifetime!
Excellent tour
Our tour agent Jenny provided excellent customer service and was responsive to all our needs. Our custom tour to Lhasa and Yamdrok Lake turned out very well. I would highly recommend Windhorse Tour.
20 Days Through Sichuan and Tibet – An Unforgettable Adventure with Windhorse Tours!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 20 Days Through Sichuan and Tibet – An Unforgettable Adventure with Windhorse Tours! What an incredible journey! We spent 20 unforgettable days travelling with Windhorse Tours on a private overland trip from Chengdu through Sichuan and Tibet along the legendary Sichuan–Tibet Highway (G318) to Lhasa, continuing to Mount Everest Base Camp and back to Lhasa, before taking the famous Tibet train. This was truly one of those trips that will stay with us for a lifetime! Our adventure started in Chengdu with a visit to the pandas, followed by a spectacular road trip through the mountains and valleys of Sichuan. Travelling along the famous G318 highway was an adventure in itself, with winding mountain roads, remote villages, impressive mountain passes, and landscapes that seemed to change around every corner. Yading National Park was definitely one of the highlights, but the entire overland journey towards Tibet was an experience in itself. As we travelled further into Tibet, the landscapes became even more dramatic. The vast high-altitude plateaus, snow-covered mountains, traditional Tibetan villages, and fascinating local culture made every day special. Visiting the beautiful Tibetan monasteries along the way gave us a wonderful insight into Tibetan Buddhism, its traditions, and the spiritual life of the Tibetan people. Lhasa was another absolute highlight, especially the magnificent Potala Palace, one of the most impressive and fascinating buildings we have ever visited. Exploring Lhasa, its monasteries, temples, and unique atmosphere was an unforgettable experience and gave us a deeper appreciation of Tibet’s rich cultural and religious heritage. And then, of course, came Mount Everest Base Camp. After days of travelling through spectacular landscapes, finally standing in front of the world’s highest mountain was simply breathtaking. An absolutely unforgettable moment and certainly one of the highlights of our entire journey! To finish this amazing adventure, we travelled on the legendary Tibet train – another fantastic experience and a wonderful way to experience the extraordinary landscapes of the Tibetan Plateau from a completely different perspective. What made this trip particularly special, however, was the excellent organisation and the wonderful people who accompanied us. A huge thank you to Jenny from Windhorse Tours, who organised everything perfectly from start to finish. Planning a 20-day private journey through such remote regions is certainly no easy task, but everything worked incredibly smoothly. Even when unexpected situations arose and plans had to be changed at very short notice, Jenny handled everything quickly, professionally, and without any hassle for us. That kind of reliability and flexibility is invaluable when travelling in Tibet! We were also extremely fortunate to have Tserang and Tenzing as our guides, and Mr. Go and Mimar as our drivers. They were all fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always helpful. Driving through the mountains of Sichuan and across the Tibetan Plateau requires considerable experience, and we always felt completely safe and comfortable. Looking back, it wasn’t just the famous sights that made this trip so memorable. It was also the journey between them – the endless mountain roads of the G318, the small villages, the spectacular monasteries, the unexpected views, and the opportunity to experience parts of Sichuan and Tibet that relatively few travellers get to see. Windhorse Tours exceeded our expectations. Everything was exceptionally well organised, the team was outstanding, and the entire experience was simply fantastic. If you’re considering a private journey through Sichuan and Tibet, we can absolutely recommend Windhorse Tours. And if you have the time, travelling overland from Chengdu to Lhasa along the Sichuan–Tibet Highway is an adventure in its own right and absolutely worth doing! A big thank you to Jenny, Tserang, Tenzing, Mr. Go, and Mimar for making these 20 days such an unforgettable experience. Without hesitation, 5 stars!
An incredible experience traveling through Tibet and on the kora around Kailash with WindhorseTour
A huge thank you to the entire WindhorseTour team for organizing and facilitating our trip to Tibet. Everything we did with WindhorseTour, from the very beginning of planning the trip to seeing my group off at the Lhasa airport, was flawless. We traveled from Lhasa to Kailash, over Everest, and completed the kora around Kailash without any delays or changes to the tour itinerary. Even despite the large number of pilgrims on the kora around Kailash this year, we managed to complete the kora smoothly, following all the arrangements and obtaining all the permits, which WindhorseTour handled directly. It was a truly fulfilling and unforgettable trip. A huge thank you to our Tibetan guide and driver for their patience, care, and support throughout the entire journey through Tibet and on the kora around Kailash. Thank you so much🙏🏻❤️
Excellent service at least expected
I had an accident. Jenny of Windhorse arranged an English-speaking guide to address the language barrier in rural China. In the meantime, Jenny helped re-route our itinerary to Hong Kong via direct high-speed train for convenience of recovery, Wheelchair access was also arranged for ease of transfer. These fine detail arrangements were appreciated in time of distress.
Amazing private tour in China!
My sister and I recently returned from our trip to China. We had an amazing time due to Windhorse Tours and our organizer, Eva, who made this the best trip ever! We worked with Eva to craft a custom itinerary. We visited Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Hengdian World Studios, Suzhou, and Zhouzhuang water town. The tour was extremely well organized. We were accompanied by a driver and a guide for each city. Communication with Eva was clear and quick. If we had questions, Eva answered almost immediately. We did have one issue with a room booking at one of our hotels that was also resolved immediately by the agency. Our guides and drivers were all very kind and timely! We highly recommend Windhorse Tours and will absolutely be using them again in the future! 5 stars
Discover Historical cities
The tour was very well organized. Delia, as our tour operator organized everything wonderfully and was always prompt in her responses. We had great time and learned a lot about Chins‘s history and culture.
Good experience
Great experience, we designed our two days and they did the rest. Besines, they accommodated all our hotel and our round trips (flight and train).
Enjoyable, Fun & Rememberable Vacation
We are 8 in the group, travel from Xian to The Silk Road and ended at Lanzhou. We were here for 20 days. The planner for this trip, Yuki from The Windhorse Chengdu well planned our itinerary. We enjoyed our journey. The accommodation are clean and strategic where we can do our shopping and have our dinner easily. We really appreciate Yuki and the tour agency. A big THANKS & will definitely travel to others parts of China with Windhorse Chengdu., 👍👍👍
Combined 10 days Beijing Xi'an Lhasa Train Tour and 5 days Chengdu Leshan Emei Tour with Panda:
Combined 10 days Beijing Xi'an Lhasa Train Tour and 5 days Chengdu Leshan Emei Tour with Panda: We had a fantastic time on our tour of Beijing, Xi'an Lhasa and Chengdu with Windhorse Tour. Delia Xu organized it all. She responded to our emails promptly, answered our questions with plenty of information, advice and help. She is a real pleasure to deal with. We wanted a laid back tour with lots of free time to explore on our own and that's what we got, with the exception of Beijing. That's totally understandable as it's a massive capital city and we prefer smaller cities for exploration. Seeing the main sights on Beijing almost requires a day for each!! We were met at airports, railway stations by excellent drivers and/or guides who gave us precise information early, so we had no anxiety about when and where to meet them. Our guides were prompt, efficient, helpful and informative. We enjoyed our chats and time with Judy in Beijing, Kelen and Zachary in Xi'an, Bhakdo in Lhasa and Angie in Chengdu. Thank you to them all!! The hotels were excellently chosen for location and comfort. There wasn't a single hitch during the trip - thanks to the great organization, diligence and communication from Windhorse Tour. We would love to visit other parts of China with Windhorse Tour. Many places were recommended to us by our guides during our chats with them. Their love for and knowledge of the different regions of their country and came through during our chats. Thank you all again for showing us your fascinating and beautiful country!
