A Day in Xi’an with Cathy

I really enjoyed my recent private tour with China Tours! I remembered I took a China Tours about 13 years ago in Beijing and since I had a long weekend during a recent business trip, I decided to take the chance on them again and booked on-line. Working with Martha via email on short notice and right before the National Holiday, she was able to arrange a 1-day private trip for me to the Terracotta Warriors, Mosque, and the Xi'an Wall with Cathy K. as my tour guide. Even before my tour began, Cathy reached out to me and gave suggested a few sites to visit in the city the afternoon I arrived.
Morning of, pick up time was confirmed via WeChat and Cathy picked me up in a nice minivan and was escorted all day by a VERY knowledgeable tour guide in Cathy. She knew the tour well, the sites visited and their history, shared many welcoming stories and information. Her English was almost perfect and welcoming after a long business trip. More importantly, she knew her city well and made several great food recommendations - local lunch was amazing and so were the pomegranates! She even helped me purchase some jade necklaces as gifts.
Although it rained all day long, Cathy kept the tour upbeat and engaging - cannot say that about my sneakers that did not make the trip home.
The next day, Cathy went the extra mile by making sure I made it to the airport and my flight chatting me Chinese phrases for both the taxi driver and check in counter to ensure if needed I would not miss my flight.
I would like to give a BIG "XIE XIE" to CATHY K - an outstanding tour guide (and food connoisseur)! I very much enjoyed my day (wishing I had longer) and look forward to my return and another China Tours tour with hopefully Cathy K again.

Amazing Trip with China Tours 2024

China is an amazing country to visit, and China Tours did an excellent job planning and arranging our itinerary. They handled all of the transportation and bookings for the hotels and sites. We went on the 12 day tour that included Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Guilin and Shanghai. At each location we had knowledgeable local guide and there was ample free time to explore on our own. The accommodations were all 4-5 stars hotels in great locations and excellent breakfast.

I loved China, thanks to China tours and Martha

I am writing to thank Martha and team for our wonderful trip to China, we had an amazing time. I am already thinking of my next trip to come with my husband and kids. All your guides were exceptional, everyone. I would love to come again with my family and have Kevin and Julia show us Beijing and Xian, hopefully we can book something with their availability.
Thank you again for taking care of every little detail, we felt cared and at home. Appreciate all what your team did for us, your guides definitely did it with genuine care ❤️. Will be getting in touch with you again. I loved China and thanks to China tours. Anyone looking for their first trip to this amazing country, don’t think twice China tours will not disspoint you.

Highly recommend China Tours!

I was recommended China tours through a family friend. Lora was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for her. She devised an itinerary based on my needs. I asked many questions and received prompt replies. We had a driver and English-speaking tour guide in each area. I would highly recommend China tours to anyone wishing to travel to China.

Amazing Solo Break!

I had an amazing time in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, with a fantastic guide Frank. He was able to arrange all my halal meals, recommend restaurants and even stopped for lunch at a particular halal cafe. Frank was outstanding in all areas of knowledge, history of the area, what to see and answered all my questions. Thank you for everything and especially sorting out my return airline meals. Absolutely brilliant!
Keven and Rita in Beijing were just as good. They were able to arrange the tours which were easy for us, away from the main crowds and as it was humid, worked perfectly! Again, thank you for all your suggestions and help.
This is my second trip with China Tours and I am looking for my third!
