    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.
