China 2026 Calendar of Events

Sophia was fantastic and really helpful....she knew all the history by heart and answered many other historical questions. I would highly recommend her as a guide

Jasmine did fantastic job guiding us through a really interesting and important view of Hong Kong. Highly recommend. I like being able to see more of the off the beaten path that this tour provides!

Really interesting tour and a great way to see a different side of Hong Kong. Lok Lok was great, very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to listen to. I learned a lot about everyday life and housing in the city. Definitely worth doing.

Great experience with this private tour. They tailored the pickup time to what I wanted and arrived right on time. The car was super clean and nice. My guide explained the history of the region to me on the way out in the car and once we got there everything was super smooth getting through the ticket and security area with the guide to show you every step of the way. Once inside, everything was explained every step of the way around the different viewing pits and you never felt rushed. All in all a great way to see the Terracotta Warriors if want to spend a bit more money and have someone lead the way and not having to worry about where to go next.

Lydia is SUPER. It's very interesting, we really enjoyed the trip. She gave a lot of interesting news.

It was truly an AMAZING experience. Cindy is a passionate guide and eager to share all the knowledge about Chinese culture. She took us to authentic restaurants, not tourist traps. Every stops came with an explanation and a cultural context discussion. So nice ! 100 % would recommand it !!!!!

Great experience, excellent food! We've done similar food tours in at least 10 other places and Buren was our favorite guide yet. Knowledgeable, funny, and super generous with recommendations for places to hit before/after the tour. Cannot recommend him and Lost Plate enough!

Another great option for those short on time and want to explore other key sites besides Forbidden City and Great Wall. Jessie was superb, both in terms of sharing the history and also management of the whole day, we were able to get ahead of traffic and peak rush and ended much earlier around 4pm. If you are Muslim though the lunch options are very limited in Hutongs so grab a quick pizza and explore the area a bit more instead. Jessie also accommodated my request to be dropped off at the 798 Art District instead of my hotel (if you have opted for pick and drop) which was super convenient and fully recommended! Lots of great dinner options there and easy to get a taxi back home.

What a day out with our guide May, such deep knowledge, with information shared with such passion and care. We all learnt so much, and the tour gave us a far deeper experience than we ever could’ve imagined. May was such a lovely person and very generous guide. Patient with questions and when we needed a break from the sun, she accommodated. Would higher recommend this tour.

Our food tour through Shanghai with Yanny was absolutely fantastic. If you're looking for an authentic, delicious, and memorable culinary adventure, you will love it. We sampled an incredible variety of dishes, including the delicious pineapple bun, classic soup dumplings and spicy mapo tofu. Our guide flawlessly navigated us from classics like savory Cantonese-style roast meats to bold street food - including crickets. The juicy lamb skewers were a crowd-pleaser, paired perfectly with soft and warm scallion pancakes. Awesome experience. Highly recommended!

Our food tour with Yanny was the highlight of my first visit to Shanghai. From start to finish, she showed a genuine passion for Chinese provincial food culture.The standout moments for me were the lamb kebabs, combined with a great local beer. Not to be outdone by trying spiced Locusts for the first time. Places and dishes I would never have been brave enough to try solo.While I am sincerely full after the trip, I would definitely go again! And 1000% recommend to anyone.

Max is was incredibly knowledgeable! Had a great time trying and learning about breakfast foods in Shanghai. Got to try so many different foods 👏 still thinking about the scallion pancake

Our guide Jenny and driver were amazing! The summer palace was beautiful and our guide had so much knowledge to share with us throughout the day. She knew all the best sites and tips for seeing things at each location. The lunch spot was incredible as well! Definitely recommend doing this private tour to get the most out of your day and have a truly authentic experience with a knowledgeable guide.

Overall the tour was well organized, there was plenty of time for pictures and hiking a part of the wall , the guide Susie was excellent and gave us a lot of information about the History of China and today's China . Lunch was very good. Would recommend the tour with no reservations.

We had a wonderful visit to the Great Wall with our guide Jenny. A nice, clean car picked us up and we had a smooth drive to the Great Wall. Everything went smoothly thanks to Jenny’s organisation and we really enjoyed visiting the wall. We got some great photos! We had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour.

Really enjoyed my tour, our guide Max did a great job explaining the food and parts of the culture in Shanghai. I also appreciated his recommendations for other things to do in the area.
