So impressed with China Tours. Communication from the main contact (Dora) was clear and timely. I had three guides on the trip (Lee, Summer and John), all of them were perfect with good communications and a friendly / knowledgeable delivery of their local knowledge.
I highly recommend China Tours to anyone who wants to see some of the amazing sights China has to offer
We had a wonderful trip with China Tours - the tour was everything we could have wanted - wonderful tour guides, a small group, good hotels in central locations!
No forced shopping stopovers like a lot of the competition. Would absolutely use and recommend China Tours
Xi’an was an unexpected delight! So much to see and do. In a couple days we were able to visit the City Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Muslim quarter, and Big Wild Goose Pagoda. On our guide Eric’s recommendation we even saw an incredible live show with live camels and wolves and all kinds of special effects. Eric made the tour particularly special with his great attitude, videos to explain history, and sense of humour. Eric took exceptional care of us. We joked his backpack was magical as he always seemed to have anything one would want - an umbrella, extra fan, snack, or even a prop to demonstrate an ancient amusement. He was respectful and interested in our culture. He will leave enormous shoes to fill for our remaining guides!
What a great place, in particular the Terracotta Warriors outside Xi’an, which were absolutely amazing. We also enjoyed the City Walls, the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, the Muslim Markets and the Shadow puppet show in the old Chinese house. Our guide, Crystal, was extremely knowledgeable and keen to teach us and our driver, Lena, was excellent. Thank you.
We had an absolute wonderful time in China. We did the 17 day Spectacular China Vista and China Tours did a fantastic job organizing this trip. All the guides were fantastic and really took care of us. Thank you China Tours.
An excellent experience with the company, no forced shopping stops, guaranteed tickets, small groups; in Shanghai we were even alone with my wife, and we received personalized attention throughout. Highly recommended.
We had a great experience in Xi'An. Kobe, our tour guide, took well care of everything we needed to have an excellent and worry free at Xi'An. Truly recommend both China Tour for anyone who wants to visit China.
