Everything was well arranged. Lily spoke very fluent English and Mandarin. The history of Xian was well explained and she is so knowledgeable. Our group of 9 nine fall in love with Xian city which is so rich in history. Its a place where everyone should visit. Lily was always early and waiting for us, each attraction was well explained and she even advise us where to move to avoid the crowd and to take the best pictures. This trip in xian was only made complete because of Lily's full knowledge and well explained history. Thank you Lily, you are the best.Collapse

    Impeccable staff
    The tour was amazing.
    From the booking to the end, the staff was impeccable. Our guide, Ms. Lily was the sweetest. She checked if I had my passport when we met in the morning, and we had a situation during the tour that she was super helpful in dealing with.
    The tour itself feels a little rushed, but there are lots of places to see and crowds to avoid. However, you get enough time to take pictures, see things and listen to some history.

    If you want to do "Xi'an must see" in a short time, without much work, this tour is a good choice!

    For solo travellers, maybe avoid the restaurant if you are planning on going to the Muslim Quarter after. The food is good, but it's Chinese portion, so you're going to be full. There are lots of food stands nearby with "snacks".Collapse

    5/5 – The Dynamic Duo: Rita and Mr Dong!

    We were picked up at Xi’an train station by our wonderful guide, Rita, and the ever-serene Mr Dong behind the wheel. We’d just arrived on the overnight train from Beijing which was an experience in itself. (Getting the bullet train next time). So our first stop was the most sacred of all early-morning rituals at the suggestion of Rita, McDonald’s for a quick breakfast.

    We then headed straight into day one of our 2 day tour with a visit to Han Yang Ling (the Yangling Mausoleum of the Han Dynasty). This included an underground on-site pit and the Exhibition Halls of unearthed funeral objects. We arrived quite early and had the place entirely to ourselves, it honestly felt like a private tour.

    Next, we drove to visit the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and then the nearby Great Tang All Day Mall. This place is an absolute must-do at night the lights are stunning! Think Las Vegas, but swap the casinos for food stalls and restaurants.

    Day Two was the real reason we’d come to Xi’an and was always going to be a highlight of this month long tour of China. We were driven about an hour from our hotel right in the heart of the Muslim Quarter to visit the Terracotta Army Museum. This is where Rita truly shone. She knows so much about Chinese history and somehow makes it all fascinating, answering every one of our questions (including the wonderfully random ones from our nine-year-old son!). We even had the chance to make our own miniature clay warrior, which was brilliant fun.

    On our way back to downtown Xi’an, we stopped off at the City Wall, where it felt like half the city was dressed up for photo shoots. You could tell straight away these were destined for TikTok, RedNote, Instagram and who knows where else, no embarrassment factor here!

    Through it all, Rita’s energy and humour kept us smiling, while Mr Dong’s calm and steady driving made everything feel effortless. Together, they’re the perfect team: one part lively storytelling, one part peaceful confidence.

    This is where we thought the day would end but Rita gently coerced us in to going to a show, The legend of Silk Road (The Legend of the Camel Bell) google it....Rita grabbed the tickets and walked us through the crowds to what I think were up there for the best seats in the house. (3,000 seats) this show was amazing. Camels, Dogs, Wolves, waterfalls, a revolving audience seating area and so so so much more. I have never seen a show on this scale.

    Highly recommended, you’ll laugh, learn, and leave with memories (and probably a clay warrior) you’ll never forget!

    I feel like we have a new friend.
    Thank you Rita and of course Mr Dong!Collapse

    Unforgettable Two Days in Xi’an with Rita and Mr. Dong!
    We had Rita and Mr. Dong with us for two days and they were absolutely incredible! Rita was such an amazing guide — warm, thoughtful, and completely on top of everything. She even packed little snacks each day for our 9-year-old, which was such a lovely touch. She guided us through the Terracotta Warriors, taking us through pits 1 to 3 and explaining everything so clearly.

    Rita also timed our visit to the Han Yang Ling Mausoleum perfectly — there were hardly any people, and we got to enjoy the site almost entirely to ourselves. She was so caring, walking us all the way to our hotel room through the busy Muslim Quarter, and even after saying goodbye, she offered to help with anything we might need later on.

    Mr. Dong was just as wonderful — a brilliant, careful driver. After a few rides with Didi drivers, we really noticed how safe and smooth the drive was with him.

    They even gave Alfie a goodbye present, which was such a kind surprise. Honestly, we couldn’t recommend Rita and Mr. Dong more — they made our time unforgettable. Absolutely amazing guide and driver!

    Xian with Celine!
    We spent two days in Xian and Celine was our guide. She took us to the Giant Wide Goose Pagoda; the Terracota Warriors and Horses Museum; the Great Tang All Day Mall, with lights on; the City Wall Park and the City Wall; the Great Moske and the nearby Muslim Bazaar.
    She provided precious information about every spot we visited, adding value to our cultural experience. She also made good choices of restaurants and food, taking good care of ours transfers from and to the raiz railway station. Thank you very much for your kind assistance, Celine!

    Beijing - a wonderful experience
    My wife, granddaughter and I had the most wonderful day in Beijing being guided by Barry. We had a full day visiting the most famous of the historic sites and it was just amazing. We learned a lot about this so beautiful city from Barry. We definitely need to come back as there was so much more that we need to see and learn. Thank you Barry for making today a perfect day for our first visit to Beijing and we will return and seek you out to show us more. Thanks again.

    Our custom 5 day trip to China, visiting Beijing and Xi’an, was an unforgettable experience thanks to an outstanding team of guides, drivers, and coordinators.

    From the very beginning, Wendy, our overall travel coordinator, made the experience seamless. Her communication while creating our custom itinerary was excellent — she was responsive, attentive to our preferences, and ensured every detail of the trip was tailored perfectly to our needs.

    In Beijing, we were incredibly fortunate to have Fen, our phenomenal driver. She was always early, greeted us each morning with a warm smile, and navigated the busy city streets with calm precision. Her professionalism, kindness, and cheerful presence added so much comfort and enjoyment to our time in Beijing.

    We also had two wonderful guides — Li Wen Quan and Tom — who made the city’s rich history come alive. • Li Wen Quan led us through the Great Wall and the Summer Palace, sharing fascinating stories and insights that deepened our appreciation for both sites. • Tom guided us through Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, blending deep historical knowledge with an engaging, personable style that made the day both educational and fun.

    In Xi’an, our guide Rita was equally outstanding. She managed to fit so much into one amazing day — from the awe-inspiring Terracotta Warriors to a walk along the Xi’an City Wall and the bustling Muslim Street. Her passion for history and enthusiasm made the entire day flow beautifully and left us with incredible memories.

    We highly recommend this tour!Collapse

    Wonderful Beijing Holiday at Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City & Great Wall
    Our vacations are greatly enhanced by the presence of a knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide, Miss Helen from TravelChinaGuide. She shares valuable facts about the location and provides insights into its rich history and vibrant culture. Helen is so energetic throughout the day and we are truly grateful for her outstanding guide.

    Golden Triangle & Yangtze tour.
    I booked the Golden Triangle & Yangtze tour which I took for the first couple of weeks of this month. From the moment I landed in Beijing to leaving from Shanghai, everything was meticulously planned and ran like clockwork. It was a brilliant and fascinating couple of weeks, the guides spoke perfect English and were very informative, and the organization from Wendy Lee from start to finish was perfect.

    I would happily and heartily recommend Travel China Tours to anyone.

    They are great, we booked with them tickets for the forbidden city (which are very difficult to get for occidental people) and they managed to do it in the day and time a lot that we chose. We got in contact with them through WeChat and they replied really fast and offer us extra help to make reservation to Tiannamen square, which we didn’t know that you needede a booking in advance (free entrance). In our case we spoke with Christina and she was great!

    I strongly recommend
    For these last weeks (may, June 2023) I traveled alone in China. I strongly recommend to go through the Travel China Guide Tours internet site to book your train e-ticket. It is the easiest and fastest way to do it. If you have any problems you can contact them, they speak English, they are understanding. With them you can easily change or cancel your bookings. Thanks to them my trip was easy to organise day to day.

    Excellent trip with Travel China Guide
    Great experience! Guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and were outstanding communicators. Itinerary was followed expertly. Tour was well organized with a variety of experiences and attractions. One highlight was the home-cooked lunch in a Chinese family's apartment. Very nice lady and a fabulous cook! Other experiences, choice of hotels and restaurants were all first rate. A couple that I wasn't too excited about in advance turned out to be fun and informative beating my expectations. My tour was a great way to learn about China's past and present! Very pleased with my trip!

We found our two guides helpful and prepared to do extra (even wrote out some helpful Chinese for us) and were patient with our varied tour group. We were very comfortable with our dining and accommodation. The tour buses were comfortable and the drivers unintrusive. There were some surprises including the chair lift to the Great Wall and the Kung Fu Show. A nice "surprise" in Xián was the Tang dynasty music and dance show after a dumpling meal! Tai Chi and other activities in the City Wall Park were wonderful. I'll have to go back as I didn't quite master the use of chopsticks but we foreigners were usually provided with forks. When it came time to say Goodbye we were taken to a convenient spot for transport to the train station. Thank you Travel China Guide Tours for everything.

    My grandson was studying for a semester at Seoul National university and suggested that we tour for sometime before returning to Canada. I came across Xi'an Marco polo International Travel service Co. Ltd. when exploring the website of CVAC (China Visa application center) in Toronto. As neither of us had travelled in the "Far East" before, had little knowledge of China, and did not speak Mandarin, we thought it sensible to have tour guides from a company familiar with the country I am glad we did! Our itinerary was carefully planned, and went fully according to plan. Our tour coordinator, Vera Yu, assisted us with the itinerary, paperwork and documentation for arrival in Beijing, and even arranged to meet us in Xi'an.
    The tour was magnificent,although strenuous for me as a senior,and covered many of the sites and cities we had heard of over the years. Hotels were beyond our expectations, and cheap, from what we experienced in North America. Hotel meals were generally excellent but we preferred to eat in local cafes; this was much cheaper and not at all difficult as most cafes had pictures of their menus posted outside, and staff were always helpful. In fact we were sometimes overwhelmed with how friendly and helpful Chinese people are.
    On the Yangste cruise, where we were the only Westerners, several crew members spoke some English, and the public announcements were often repeated in English or the benefit of non-Mandarin speakers.This cruise was spectacular giving much insight into daily life in China, and culminating in the magnificent 3-Gorges Dam.
    In Shanghai we went on our own with a bus tour of the city, a river cruise, and walking.I must add that I felt safer walking a night in Shanghai than I have felt in many North American cities. The Shanghai Bund (river walk), night lights on the Huangou river, and the Shanghai tower should be on everyone's bucket list.

    I just wish we had more time available!Collapse

    Trip overall was good, except the Shaolin temple visit was not worth going for me and the tour guide there needs more training I felt.
    The gratitude cost should be clearer, it is actually compulsory because it is also for the driver and the team behind the scene purchasing various tickets and making sure the tour goes smoothly.
    You will need to have cash, not many places accept card. May be use Wise or master card to draw cash.
    Try to travel with smaller luggages because the train rides in and out with big luggages can be hard. You can place the Small bags on the overhead compartment.
    Bring roll on deodorant, one of the train ride security confiscated spray deodorants and opened alcohol.
    If you are travelling southern China, sign up with SkyPearl to pre-book seat on line.
    All up 7.5/10.

    TCGT is just an excellence regarding China tourism and tour tailoring. From the beginning to way back home they assist and help you with professional and gentle guides. Emily - our travel consultant - is a fluent English speaking always ready to organise and fix properly any detail, also during the trip. As other guides we met, all of them very professional, English speaking and nice persons. We appreciated any side and accommodation, either a very full but well organized itinerary with professional drivers. If you are planning a journey in China, don’t miss TCGT!

The guides, drivers, hotels, airplanes and visits were excellent. You can choose their package or build your own, which we did. Great service. Especially with Wendy Lee. I will do business again with TCG in the future. Maybe to visit Myanmar.
