    Jennifer of Top China Travel has been incredibly helpful and supportive right from the beginning to the end of our tour. Both Sisi (Beijing) and Sally (Xian) are amazing tour guides and they looked after all the travellers with their utmost respect and care - Awesome hospitality at both cities with lots of great memories on the places that we have visited. Top China Travel is indeed a great and reliable tour company and we will definitely recommend our friends.

    China was generally well organized, had great hotels and breakfasts. The bus for the Beijing portion was dirty, no USB port, had a terrible PA system with an echo,static and feedback. The other city’s buses/vans were great. Gim the Beijing tour guide was not as organized as Sissy or Michelle so we guests frequently asked each other what was going on next. The first day in Beijing was an 11 hour day that ended with mask painting. Some people participated and after said their masks were going in the garbage not the suitcase. It is an unnecessary and not pleasurable activity at the end of an exhausting day. After leaving Sunworld hotel, we picked up guests at 2 more hotels each morning in Beijing (for about 30-40 minutes) which seemed inefficient and a waste of time. Could we 19 guests not stay at the same hotel? An audio system with earpieces to hear the guide, would have been great in Beijing. Most of the 19 of us could not hear the guide explaining the history of the attractions, etc. We used these earpieces in Xi’an. What a difference and much less stressful! Zhangjiajie- 5 hour ‘before flight’ drop off is too early. There is nothing to do for 5 hours in a small airport. Could this flight to Shanghai be scheduled earlier? Shanghai-my flight arrival was delayed 2 hours and there was no one to meet me at arrivals after leaving the luggage carousel. I spoke with a young man waiting at arrival area for his girlfriend. He phoned my hotel and the desk staff suggested I drive to the hotel with this stranger and his girlfriend. TCT kindly refunded me this unused transfer. The itineraries and sites visited were excellent. The scenery was beautiful. The transportation flowed well using planes and bullet trains. The included meals were good but lunch in Shanghai was not. Our guide had only 2 of us in Shanghai. He fell asleep 6 times in the van during that one day. All drivers in the 5 cities were very good. Information regarding toilets was great with all tour guides
