A great tour and guide
The tour was very well organized. Jessie is a great guide; she is very engaging, funny, and honest. I felt we had enough time at each location and I liked the variety of activities. The tea ceremony at the end was a nice way of wrapping the day up.

Let Andrea show you the best of Chengdu
Another succesful vacation with Travel China Guide! I added one more day to the 4 day Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou tour in order to see the Dujiangyan irrigation system.My guide in Chengdu, Andrea, met me at the airport and showed me the dining spots near my hotel once I checked in. The next day, she took me to the panda center, Qingchengshan, and Dujiangyan. Andrea did a greatr job explaing the water diversion system and how it changes over the seasons. The next day, she took me to my seat on the train to Jiuzhaigou. Peter met me and it was off to Huanglong. He made sure that I was handling hiking at 3500 meters. The next daywe saw Jiuzhaigou. The last day was back in Chengdu seeing city sights with Andrea.Everything went smoothly and both guides were excellent.

A great tour
The tour was informative and covered a lot of must see places without feeling like everything was being rushed so we could get to the next place. Sisi was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and had great communication. We felt like part of her family by the end of the tour. We highly recommend!

A relaxing cruise with great views
The views along the river were stunning. The transfer and cruise were well organised and managed. Lily Cao was our guide and she was great at explaining what to look for to get the most out of the cruise. She took great photos and really looked after us well, often going the extra mile. She also arranged an optional tour of Ruyi Peak, which was stunning especially at sunset

Very enjoyable experience at Zhujiajiao Water Town with Xin
We had a wonderful private tour with Xin to Zhujiajiao Water Town. Through her we learnt some interesting history, walked through beautiful gardens, sampled tea, enjoyed a boat ride & a lovely lunch. Xin also helped us find some lovely souvenirs. It was just so relaxing and enjoyable to be guided and not have to worry about anything. The private transport there & back was also effortless and very worthwhile.

Queena was amazing from the moment we met to the moment we finished the tour. Knowledgeable, informative and very open to questions. She made sure we saw all the important sights, got great photos for us so we could enjoy the tour and made sure we picked the right dishes for dinner to have the best time. The tour was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone coming to Shanghai

We spent 4 amazing days, our guide was really good in English and she always made sure we were never lost.

Private Hiking Tour From Jiankou To Mutianyu

Top Great Wall tour.
My tour guides were incredible. Great English. Great history. And really made this worth it. The trek itself is legendary. It’s hard work though. Be prepared to live on the wild side. This is not a casual hike. But one when you complete leaves you feeling highly gratified. If you’re looking for adventure. This is it!! Virtually zero tourists as well.

Customizable Private Terracotta Army Tour

Had a wonderful day with Cathy!
Cathy was an excellent guide! We did a private tour to the Terracotta Army + Wild Goose Pagoda. It’s very tailored towards your interest and how long you would like to stay. A totally unexpected but delightful surprise was getting to meet one of the farmers that discovered the terracotta warriors! Cathy was also SUPER helpful the next day with plenty of suggestions for food, activities based on where we were, and performance show times/locations at Datang Everbright. We felt so welcome in Xi’an!
