Trip date: September 2024 - helen· April 4th, 2024As a couple surprised by an fantastic individual tour by three very articulate guides and proficient drivers around Beijing, Xian and Shanghai.

- EDErin· December 9th, 2019We had Maggie in Beijing, Susan in Xi’an, and Chris is Shanghai. This tour deserves 5 stars all around, but the only reason I take one off is because of Chris in Shanghai. He didn’t meet us at the airport (all the other guides did) he started the tour later, but then was late to the hotel. This would not have been a huge deal, but we didn’t cover all of what the itinerary said in Shanghai, and he sold us on an extra tour at night that covered the parts we didn’t do during the day plus an extra thing we had asked. It felt weird, because Maggie and Susan were literally bending over backwards to make sure we were having a wonderful time. I was vegetarian, and they made sure that every restaurant we went to made dishes for me. At the restaurant in Shanghai, it was clear he did not relate it to the restaurant and I was given a plate of peas to eat when I asked if any of the dishes on the table were vegetarian. I feel so guilty not giving this tour 5 stars because it really was one of the best tours I have EVER been on other than the Shanghai portion. It may look like there’s a lot in the itinerary, but I NEVER felt rushed. Any questions or concerns I had were dealt with immediately and Susan and Maggie were so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. I would HIGHLY recommend using this tour company - and I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a tour group before.Show moreTravelChinaGuide commented on this reviewDear Erin Daley, Greetings from TravelChinaGuide!

- TCThipphaphanh· December 7th, 2019I love the tour very much, but in Xi’an we losed my husband, my sister and my cousin for 2 hours, finally the Tour Lady found them..., for me the Tour Guide must stop to check all of the tourists all the time. In Shanghai, it was raining all day, they canceled the boat ride which is very bad for us.. We spent lots of money to see nothing. All else, Everything is excellent.
