Our Story

We had a great 14 day trip with a week gap in the middle to attend the world games in Chengdu. With only three weeks before we departed Dora provided a draft itinerary in 2 hours that required only minor changes. Dora was always available to sort any issues for the whole trip - but tracking down our lost luggage was an outstanding effort. In Guilin we were greeted by Joanne who made our first days in China very memorable, Longji rice terraces and trying local food were highlights. Thanks for the thoughtful train snacks Joanne. Lucy met us at Zhangjiajie and was great company as well as a great guide especially in the amazing and extensive Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. Thanks for the local restaurant tips Lucy. The fast train across the mountains that divide southern and northern China to Xi’an, led us to Helen and her driver who covered both exits to ensure we did not get lost. Helen shared her love and vast knowledge of ancient China - terracotta warriors, and the amazing historic and modern Xi’an. Thanks Helen you brought two thousand years of history and the Silk Road to life. Our last fast train brought us to Beijing and the super resilient Lee, preparations for the victory over Japan parade in Tiananmen Square complicated things and meant that despite great effort by Lee and Dora we will have to visit the square next time. Lee managed the situation very well and we enjoyed our forbidden city, summer palace, Hutongs and temple of heaven day followed by a whole day on the Great Wall which was amazing. Thanks Lee, smiling and super cool under pressure. Special thanks to all our drivers, whose skill, patience and endless bottles of water made every trip stress free. All our hotels were well chosen and met or exceeded expectations. China was fascinating, friendly and full of new experiences, China tours made sure we enjoyed every moment. We’ll be recommending them to our friends and hope to come back and explore more of this beautiful country .

Our guide Linda was fantastic and to have a guide and a driver Zhang made the most of our tour of Beijing with no stress. We got picked up on arrival right from the start and delivered to our departure at the end.

Linda and the Zhang doing wonderful jobs. Thank you so much for show us around Beijing. .I enjoyed the time in Beijing so much

Short-term requests or change requests were quickly taken into account. Planning and organizing the trip was completely uncomplicated and fast through WeChat and email. The guides booked on site were punctual and reliable. The contact absolutely uncomplicated and reliable. So we were able to put together our very individual journey and it went smoothly and optimally. Thank you dear team from China Guide (Lina, Lily, Jack and Alice). Petra and Juliet.

My bestie and I visited China in April for a "recharging holiday". We absolutely had a really wonderful time there. Martha help us for designing a unique private tour according to my "wishing list". We visited Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. The tranquil classical Chinese garden, the amazing ancient water town, the historic tea house, the authentic local food, the exciting custom clothing experience, and the knowledgeable tour guides, are all my beautiful travel memory. Thank you ChinaTours.com for the professional and premium quality services!

Fabulous family holiday expertly curated by China Tours. Nothing was too much trouble for the helpful guides. Especially Linda in Beijing who expertly navigated the crowds to maximise our experience and provide a truly special time. Would highly recommend China Tours and look forward to returning to China soon

Great China tour! Visited 4 key places in China: Shanghai/Guilin/Xian/Beijing. Saw all the key sights in those cities. Great tour guides of William; Summer and especially Linda! Thank you! Highly recommend.

We absolutely had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Chinatours.com to assist travelers to build their itinerary. Our itinerary was well outlined to include many wonderful historical sites, fun outdoor markets and beautiful gardens. We were guided by very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides. We especially liked Lee. She was accommodating, knowledgeable about the history of China, introduced us to the many wonderful things about the culture, recommended very good local restaurants, and assured confirmation and safety of our transportation. Chinatours booked us very nice hotels and the transport between cities was seamless. We really enjoyed our time in China and wished we could have stayed longer.
