China Tours Reviews

Choosing from three tour organizers, I was very happy that I chose Chinatours. What really got me was the quick reply from Ms. Rose Shi and the itinerary that she presented. You offered the most interesting places to visit. Up to the time before I departed for the trip, all information and paperwork was efficiently handled by Rose. She was on top of everything! From arrival to departure and all the transportation transfers were on time, well-coordinated and amazing personnel. I have to say, your tour guides were exceptional!! I’ve been to many tours but your guides were ranked the highest in my book. They were all well-educated, well-mannered and really made me feel at ease. They were fun to be with. From Andy(Beijing), Tony (Pingyao), Carl (Guilin), Gao (Shanghai), and most especially Steven (Mt. Huangshan). I had to say all the guides were impressive. However, Steven was really exceptional for keeping my interest in Mt. Huangshan despite the rainy and very misty day. He described the places very vividly that I could almost imagine what the sight looks like. Very impressive! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We have just finished a two week private tour of China assisted by your wonderful guides and drivers who were organized by China Tours, to say we were impressed with their service would be an understatement, they were all brilliant. Jun in Beijing, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and The Great Wall, the sights were amazing as was Jun's warm smile and lovely nature. Siyi in Xi'an, great knowledge of the Terracotta Warriors the Great Mosque and History Museum, also thanks for explaining the Chinese family structure and work / life balance. Jerry in Chonqing, our plane was three hours late but he waited with a snack and drink at the airport, what a great bloke, big smiles late into the long bus trip, shame we did not have more time together. Jacky in Yichang, thanks for the quick tour of your City, your passion for the place rubs off on those who visit. Finally Autumn in Shanghai, Autumn made us feel like we were touring with an old friend, every day was fun and relaxed with a dose of history and local food thrown in, loved every minute spent with her. Finally, many thanks to the many drivers, we felt safe on every commute and they patiently waited at our beck and call while we traipsed around the place, their courteous nature will be remembered. Our whole trip exceeded our expectations, everything ran like clockwork, followed the schedule, was flexible, value for money and an amazing experience. Put a visit to China on the agenda and feel confident to use China Tours as your agent, we could not be happier with their service.

ChinaTours provided excellent guides and an itinerary that fit our interests exactly. We loved that our group was small, always between 2 and 8 people. The company also managed to deal expertly with the complications presented when one of the airports shut down due to fog. Our guide quickly found a flight from another city and accompanied us on a high-speed train all the way to the new airport, where he bought our new tickets and made arrangements for the next guide to meet us at the other end of the flight. We stayed on schedule for our next day's activities.

China Tours are a most efficient and value for money tour company we have ever had the pleasure to book with from the very first email enquiry with Connie -Travel Consultant to our last goodbye hug from Sandy - Most excellent Beijing Tour Guide. All questions and requests were dealt with promptly until we were satisfied. You couldn't ask for more. Our guides cared for us like family, flexible to our needs, excellent knowledge of their countries history and fluent in English. We extended our value packed 11 day "Odyssey of the Yangtze" tour itinerary with extra nights in Beijing and Shanghai choosing CT's suggested hotels and were very happy with the 4/5 star standard. Beijing’s Mercure was a bit out of the way for walking tours but taxi fees were only $5/10 per trip to anywhere. Our "3 x adults" family required an extra bed in our double room and all were roomy enough. The cruise ship President No.7’s room was a little too cosy though so we took the option of a $150 upgrade for a larger cabin. Well worth the extra $. I suggest taking advantage of the $50/ cabin unlimited laundry service offer for the entire cruise, too. This service was exceptional. I even got to review the Medical staff on board, too, after being stung on the ear by a whopping big china wasp. Besides suffering a burning hot ear for the rest of the trip I now have a great dinner party story, with pictures to add to our China experience. Service from everyone involved with our tour was fabulous. We couldn"t fault any of the hotel staff and the food was delicious and fabulous. Adding spectacular scenery and the best presentation of China"s captivating history by the CT guides guaranteed us great memories that will last a lifetime. Highlights’ were the wall climb in Mutianyu. We took the challenging option up the steep end and road the luge back down. Great fun- wish we packed the GoPro. Take the bike trip option on the Xi'an Wall. It should only take 45 mins with a bit of effort to do the round trip. A bit hard on the butt though. I"m so pleased we took extra time to see Shanghai. You could spend a week there & still need more time. I highly recommend China Tours.com. Our holiday was amazing!
