You will not find a better tour company than this one. From the booking process to the tour itself. We did a group tour Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Guiliin, Shanghai absolutely brilliant Lora was our contact at their office and did a great job. Although it was a group tour you can chose your itinerary and we had another couple with us for Beijing and Xi’an the rest of the holiday it was just the two of us …. like VIP’s with our own driver and guide. Cannot praise them enough 🙂

This is the second year in a row that we used China Tours to arrange a private tour of China.
We selected a private tour as it fit our schedule and the Yangtze cruise schedule we wanted.
They were excellent again. It was a flawless tour. The guides and drivers promptly met us at all locations and were great.
Again, their Travel Consultant, Ms. Lora Li, was patient in answering all of my questions and concerns. She suggest some alternative locations for us. All train, plane, and cruise connections were expertly handled.
As mentioned above our guides were great. I will mention all from Bruce, Peter, Victor, Fiona, to Kiana.
Our tour consisted of Chengdu, Chongqing, Yangtze River cruise, Yichang, Hangzhou, and Shanghai.
We were definitely pleased enough with them to use them a second time. Should we return to China we will also book with China Tours.

Some time already passed after our trip to China. I have been very busy at work from the first day of coming back, but both of us, my husband and I, remember our trip with great fondness. We enjoyed every day during these two weeks. Special thanks to Lora, who helped a lot in organizing such an exiting tour for us! The guides in all places we visited were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The drivers were also very good and we could trust that they would drive safely and they were always on time. The places we visited were wonderful, only the weather in the first week was not good, but this is something we can not influence. We certainly would like to visit China again. Thank you very much indeed!

The tour was excellent! Rose did a great job handling the reservations and all the tour guides (Maggie, Chris, Lin and Jack) did an excellent job! I thought that Maggie especially did an amazing job in Beijing. She is an excellent tour guide and was a wonderful tour leader for the whole group. She was excellent at explaining everything and she gave a lot of great information. My 10 year old daughter Sonia loved her and it made the trip extra special. Chris in Xi’an was also great – high energy with lots of great information. Our time in Chengdu was more quiet as we didn’t have a group but I thought Lin did a great job. We joined another group in Shanghai with Jack and that also worked out very well. The extra shows were also great (Acrobat show, Dumpling Dinner and Face Changing show). I think all the main sites were covered which is great. We were always on schedule and everything ran very smoothly. Thanks again.

Our China tour was entirely arranged on the internet between ourselves and our China Tours representative Martha. All our tour enquiries throughout the organisation stage were dealt with in a professional and efficient manner with updated itineraries constantly supplied. At each stage of our tour we were met at the airport or train station by our guide and driver. The tour guides were all well versed in English and local knowledge and drivers maintained clean comfortable and air conditioned vehicles. We were given ample time at each site that we visited and guides were flexible enough to make adjustments on request, the daily lunch stops were carefully chosen and were a delight of Chinese cuisine at its best. The organisation appears to be a well oiled machine and the tour was well co-ordinated with no hold ups throughout the trip. We elected to take the China Tours boutique hotels option in Xi’an, Guiling and Chengdu and this turned out to be an excellent choice, these themed hotels were not only an excellent option but also provided an insight into traditional Chinese architecture and culture and are all highly recommended. The choice of modern western style hotels in the other centres was also of a high standard. China Tours is a highly recommended choice for organising a tour of China and we thank them for a wonderful and memorable trip.

All the services from China Tours were more than satisfactory. It would have been stressful to try to navigate our way across China without the help of our expert guides who met us at airports, train stations and cruise ships on every step of our journey from Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Chongqing, and on to Shanghai. Lora Li was our wonderful advance travel consultant who tailored our trip to coincide with meeting our son in Beijing to join in a two-week trip providing an overview of beautiful mainland China, and she also arranged an extension for a short visit to Hong Kong. All Hotel accommodations were nice.
