China Travel Adventure in Beijing
I was provided a detailed itinerary before my arrival in Beijing. My tour guide Ms Lily Liu and driver made sure to it that I saw and did everything on that list, and more. Ms Liu thoroughly explained and answered all my questions on all sites that included: Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, The Great Wall and unplanned visits to an acrobatics show, the Bird's Nest Stadium at Olympic Village, small stores, eateries, and many others. Combine this with her language ability with me, our driver and the many people at all the sites we visited, made for a very enjoyable adventure and absolutely wonderful experience. Great job Ms Liu!
Full day tour of Beijing
Excellent full day tour of Beijing with tour guide Colin being a particular stand out, very knowledgeable Regarding both the sites, including forbidden city, and their history. I wouldn’t hesitate to engage Colin again when next in Beijing.
Beijing trip 2026
Our guide Ethan and Mr Wong made our family vacation memorable! The sights, the food, the accommodations exceeded our expectations! Ethan was knowledgeable ensuring we saw all the top highlights in Beijing. This was the trip of a lifetime!
All of Beijing in 3 days
My family had Ethan as our tour guide, and the places he took us to, along with his extensive knowledge of each location, made our trip truly unforgettable. Seeing the pandas at the Beijing Zoo was an incredible experience, and every other stop on the tour was just as enjoyable. Ethan was informative, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Beijing. If you’re lucky enough to have Ethan as your tour guide, you’re sure to have an amazing time exploring the city.
Perfect for families
We travelled as a family of five (three kids aged 15, 10 and 8) for three and half days with Ms Lily Liu as our guide. Ms Liu was effectively bilingual and more importantly, patient and kind in answering the many questions posed to her by my kids. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned to accommodate our family’s needs and preferences, including an impromptu cherry picking experience on the way back from a morning at the Great Wall. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in Beijing thanks to Lily!
Xian tour
Jenny from the city block is one of the best tour guides we have ever met and was super helpful to show us both the local side and tourist sides of Xian. She is very thoughtful and works hard to make your trip stress free and enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend.
Vacaciones inolvidables
Tuvimos la fortuna de contar con Winnie como nuestra guía en Chongqing y nuestra experiencia no pudo haber sido mejor. Inicialmente habíamos solicitado una guía en español, pero no había disponibilidad. Debo admitir que esto me preocupaba un poco, sin embargo, desde el primer momento Winnie superó todas nuestras expectativas. Su inglés es impecable, claro y fácil de entender, lo que permitió una comunicación excelente durante toda nuestra estancia. Además de ser puntual, responsable y sumamente organizada, Winnie demostró un conocimiento impresionante de la historia, la geografía, la cultura china y las tradiciones locales. Incluso tenía amplios conocimientos sobre el budismo y fue capaz de explicarnos con gran detalle y claridad muchos aspectos que enriquecieron enormemente nuestra experiencia. Su entusiasmo, alegría y energía positiva hicieron que cada día fuera especial. Siempre estuvo pendiente de los detalles y se esforzó por atender nuestras solicitudes, incluso cuando implicaban trabajo adicional para ella. Nunca escatimó tiempo ni esfuerzo y constantemente fue más allá de lo esperado para asegurarse de que disfrutáramos al máximo nuestra visita. Quisiera destacar especialmente su calidad humana. Durante el viaje tuve molestias en mis rodillas y Winnie se preocupó genuinamente por mi bienestar, ayudándome al subir y bajar escaleras y procurando siempre que pudiera participar cómodamente en las actividades. Ese cuidado y atención personal fueron realmente excepcionales. Otro detalle que hizo la diferencia fue que durante los trayectos en automóvil organizaba trivias, preguntas y pequeños concursos relacionados con la cultura, historia y lugares que visitábamos. Gracias a ello, incluso los recorridos por carretera fueron entretenidos, educativos y muy amenos para toda la familia. Gracias a Winnie, nuestra visita a Chongqing fue una experiencia inolvidable. Su profesionalismo, conocimiento, dedicación, paciencia y calidez humana la convierten en una guía excepcional. La recomendamos sin ninguna reserva a cualquier persona que desee descubrir Chongqing y China de una manera auténtica, enriquecedora y divertida. ¡Muchas gracias, Winnie, por haber hecho nuestro viaje tan especial

We had an amazing 2 day tour with Tina Yang to Tiananmen Square, forbidden city and Great Wall! Tina Yang was very informative about each site! Tina gave us lots of tips about the using the trains and even took us on the subway to a local snack street to sample some local snacks! Thank you Tina we had a fantastic 2 days with you and our driver!
Fabulous trip to Xi-An with sightseeing at the Terracotta Museum and Pagoda Temple
Susan Susan was an absolutely outstanding tour guide during our time in Xi’an! She made every stop come alive with her knowledge, warmth and energy. From the incredible Terracotta Warriors and the fascinating museum to the beautiful City Wall, Pagoda and vibrant Muslim Quarters, every part of the tour was thoughtfully organized and engaging. One of the highlights of the day was lunch with Susan….the food was top notch and the conversation was just as enjoyable. She gave us fantastic local recommendations and made us feel completely welcomed throughout the entire experience. Susan also took us on a wonderful shopping excursion and helped us navigate everything with ease and zero pressure. Her professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail truly made this trip unforgettable. If you’re visiting Xi’an, we highly recommend Susan as your guide. She turned great sightseeing days into an exceptional experience!

Beijing Tour was fantastic
We had an absolutely outstanding experience touring Beijing with Ethan Liu. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of the city. Over several days, Ethan guided us through some of China’s most iconic landmarks, including the breathtaking Forbidden City, the serene and beautifully preserved Summer Palace and of course the unforgettable Great Wall of China. At each site, he brought the history to life with engaging stories, thoughtful context and insights that we would have completely missed on our own. What really set Ethan apart was how well he balanced education, pacing and flexibility. He adjusted the itinerary to suit our interests, made sure we avoided crowds when possible, and was always attentive to our comfort and questions. Even the shopping stops he arranged were enjoyable and pressure-free, giving us a chance to explore local crafts and souvenirs without feeling rushed. Beyond being a guide, Ethan felt like a trusted host in a new country….organized, friendly and deeply committed to making our experience memorable. We left Beijing with a much richer appreciation of its history and culture and that’s largely thanks to him. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Beijing who wants more than just sightseeing, but a meaningful and well-curated journey.
Amazing day trip to the Great Wall and Ming tombs
We had an amazing day trip to Mutianu section of the Wall and the Ming dynasty tombs. Jason was an excellent knowledgeable guide and took care of everything efficiently according to our needs and wishes down to the smallest detail. Our family was driven privately in a large and comfy car. Cherry on top, we forgot a charger in the van and Jason arranged it to be returned to our hotel the same night! Just wonderful.
• Lily is Outstanding – An Absolute Highlight of Our Beijing Trip!
Our time in Beijing completely exceeded our expectations, and that is largely thanks to our incredible tour guide, Lily. She did an absolutely excellent job taking us all around Beijing’s iconic tourist attractions and organizing a fantastic trip to the Great Wall. Lily’s knowledge of Chinese history and the cities we visited is incredibly extensive—she brought every site to life with fascinating insights. Beyond being an amazing history guide, she was a wonderful culinary host. She introduced us to some fantastic local places to eat and gave us brilliant restaurant recommendations for our free time. Lily was so incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay in Beijing unforgettable. If you are visiting, do yourself a favor and request Lily!
This is the best tour operator you will find.
We had a fabulous trip with China Travel. Mimi was our guide in Shanghai and she was great. She is very knowledgeable and took great care of us while we were there. I highly recommend China Travel and their fantastic staff.
Very easy booking process and extremely responsive customer service
Very easy booking process and extremely responsive customer service — highly recommended. I booked two separate train journeys through them. For the first one, the original train was cancelled, and they contacted me very quickly to offer seats on the next available departure the same day. Once I confirmed, the booking was processed almost immediately. The second booking went perfectly smoothly from start to finish.
China Tours and “Mark” my tour guide.
I can’t say enough about the great experience I had in Beijing with China tour. Our guide “Mark” was absolutely amazing. Not only he spoke fluent English but he had a degree in Chinese history which was very important to us. He took care of us like an older son, stayed with us until we ordered our food, took care of our luggage, stayed with us until we got on to the train to Xian . His Chinese history knowledge was exceptional and we appreciated it. During our visit we saw Great Wall of China, imperial place and forbidden city, shopping areas like Qianmen, the lovely Peking Duck Resturant, and the incredible acrobat show. Having the private tour with private experienced driver and large clean van really helped us. We couldn’t have done this much without this private tour. I would love to come back to Beijing to see more and I’ll be asking for Mark as my tour guide and use China tours for sure.
Excellent Tour of Guilin and Yangshuo with Henry
If you are reading these Tripadvisor reviews, you are probably wondering whether to trust all these 5 star reviews – as a skeptic, I know I did. But we took a chance and booked a private tour of Guilin and Yangshuo with China Travel and had the most fantastic time! We worked with Vivi on the details of our trip. She was very responsive and very accessible – by email, voice, or WhatsApp. In addition to the sites highlighted on their website, you can work with her to add other sights you are interested in. Henry was our guide and he is terrific! He has a thorough knowledge of the sights and history of Guilin and Yangshuo – we learned so much about the history and culture of the area from him. He was very easy to talk to and in the course of our conversations, he seamlessly found out what our interests were and tailored our tour to those interests. The weather forecast during our stay was cloudy and rainy but Henry monitored the weather constantly and rearranged the days of our tour so our Li River cruise and Longji Rice Terraces tour were on the best weather days. Henry was also very flexible throughout the tour, letting us take our time and yet still managing to squeeze in everything we wanted to see and do and more! He was very thoughtful and took good care of us throughout the tour. Aside from the beautiful scenery and learning about the different minority cultures, one of our most memorable experiences was learning how the locals relax – playing Mahjong! Henry took us to a local Mahjong parlor where he taught us the basics and we actually played several hands. What a fun experience! And don’t forget to ask about “Castle in the Sky” – Guilin’s answer to Zhangjiajie!
Beijing
We always travel alone, never hire a guide. This time, at the end of our 4000 km China trip - partly due to start of the Golden Week - we got a guide and weren't sorry about that. Mark took us around certain parts of Beijing and The Great Wall. Saved us a lot of time. I'm a geography and history freak, he's got a degree in history and is loaded with facts and stories 👍
Exceptional Service from China Travel and a Stress-Free Beijing Experience with Colin
Visited Beijing for 3 days We had an excellent experience with our tour guide, Colin, during the three days we spent in Beijing. From the very beginning, he stood out for his punctuality, professionalism, and respectful attitude. He was always attentive to our needs and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip. One of Colin’s greatest qualities was his deep knowledge of Chinese history and culture. Every place we visited became much more meaningful thanks to his detailed explanations and interesting stories. He answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. What we appreciated the most was how caring and responsible he was. Before our departure to Xi'an, Colin personally accompanied us to the high-speed train station, made sure we were seated correctly on the bullet train, and helped us feel completely comfortable before leaving. This gesture truly reduced the stress of dealing with an unfamiliar system in a foreign country. We highly recommend Colin to anyone visiting Beijing. He made our trip memorable, easy, and stress-free.
