- GGGrahame· November 12th, 2019Fabulous fascinating experience well managed with excellent extra activities. In addition to the main attractions we were treated to some extras that really delighted us and that we wouldn’t be able to do ourselves without being on this tour eg meal and origami in a couple of homes and tai chi dancing. A couple of improvements to achieve 5 stars in our view would firstly be to make the itinerary a little less exhausting by not starting so early every morning and maybe taking out some of the repeat museum stops to help facilitate perhaps.... Secondly, there was too much pressure on us as customers to have small amounts of local cash readily segregated for multiple reasons making us all feel uncomfortable which could have been avoided by the tour company increasing the price and managing this for us ie Lunch and tea should have been included in Chengdu to be consistent with other cities and tips for your guides and drivers should have been included, just as they were for when we were handed over to other guides as part of the itinerary.... In summary , amazing as the whole experience was, we now feel in need of a holiday to get over feeling exhausted!Show more
TravelChinaGuide commented on this reviewDear Grahame Gordon Chalk, Thanks for your kindness to share your authentic tour review with us and let us know that you had a fabulous and fascinating tour experience in China. We are pleased that you have not been disappointed in the whole journey... Show moreTrip date: October 2019 - Maria· July 3rd, 2019We had such a wonderful time on our 11-Day Tour in China. We went to Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, and Shanghai. Now I felt like Shanghai was a city that we would have been just fine exploring on our own but the first three we were so thankful to have a reliable tour group to get us from one location to the next and we were also able to avoid long ticket lines. This allowed us to see much more than we would have been able to without a tour. Our guides in Beijing and Xi’an were excellent. They were informative about the sights, and the culture and history of China. Every hotel we stayed at was super comfortable and offered breakfast. We were also offered lunch on most days. Our highlights were absolutely the Great Wall, the Terra-cotta Army, and Pandas!! We also enjoyed the Kung Fu show and all the beautiful architecture and gardens. We would highly recommend Travel China Guide as the tour group to use if you are planning a trip to China.Show moreTravelChinaGuide commented on this reviewDear Maria Mitrakas, Thank you for choosing us to arrange your China tour.

- Ruth· June 17th, 2019I loved the visit to the pandas, the Great Wall,and the terra-cotta warriors, the main choice for the trip. I was a little disappointed with the imperial palace. I would have taken a quick walk through, because the buildings were too dark to see anything. Way too crowded to even try to see into them. Maybe a video of the interiors. Have screen in the bus to show before arrival, then a quick photo walk through. With small groups, I would consider using the metro. All that time stuck in traffic is frustrating and a waste of time. The noodle show was fine, but eat elsewhere, and watch the show from the front row seats. I’m not sure about the dinner with the family, food was fine, but I felt a little uncomfortable in their home. Two groups at one time was a bit much. The English of the guides was good, but accent was a little difficult at times, required concentration by me. .? Ocean really needed to use a mike. He was talking from the front seat and it was difficult to hear in the back. I really didn’t like the last van. Windows were small and difficult to see out, and high seat backs made it difficult to hear, I felt like I was in a cage! I liked the small group size. The hotels were extremely expensive, I would have been happier with a smaller hotel and less cost. The hotel in Beijing was way too crowded, I already commented on that one. I had difficulty even finding a seat at breakfast. People were shoving and pushing, not a pleasant atmosphere.Show moreTravelChinaGuide commented on this reviewDear Ruth Ann Hartswick, Firstly, thank you for taking your valuable time and sharing this China small group tour review with us.

Trip date: March 2019 - Mary· January 12th, 2019I think the itinerary should have included something on the arrival day in Chengdu and Shanghai. Also, I do not think the silk "factory" should be on the itinerary and more time should be allowed at the Great Wall. All of our guides were excellent (Candy, Tracy and Tracy) with the exception of Ryan. He was not very personable and seemed to be on his cell phone a lot. Also, he seemed pompous, with an air of superiority. However, overall, the tour was excellent, and I will definitely recommend it to my friends and colleagues.Show moreTravelChinaGuide commented on this reviewDear Mary Taylor-Boehm, Many thanks for taking your valuable time to post the feedback regarding your China tour with the company of us.

What our customers ask about this tour
The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.- S
Scott
Asked on March 17th, 2025I am wondering as to the activity level of this tour. My mother is 81 and has some mobility issues (e.g., cannot take a lot of stairs quickly). Would this tour be appropriate for her?
TravelChinaGuideOperator•Written March 2025This is a small group tour. That means there are some other travelers traveling with you together. So you need to catch up with the travel pace of the whole group. So it might be not that suitable for your mother. However, we can offer a customized private tour for you, which is exclusively for you and your mother can enjoy more personalized service from local tour guides. The most important is that you can travel on your own pace without no hurry to catch up with others. What do you think?

No matter how early or late you arrive, a local guide will pick you up at the airport as long as you have advised your arrival flight details before you depart. In case there is flight delay or change, please keep us informed with the updated flight schedule as the tour operator will do their best to make all necessary alternative arrangements for you.

Victoria
Asked on June 13th, 2018What kind of electric outlets the hotels have in China?
- TravelChinaGuideOperator•Written June 2018
In China, the outlets have two holes or three holes. Most of the hotels have both 110V and 220V electrical outlets in the bathrooms, and only 220V sockets are available in the guest rooms. We recommend taking a plug adaptor with you or you should be able to buy one in China if needed.
