China Tour & Travel Companies

Beware of this company. They will charge you fees for bookings via PayPal, but when unable to fulfill the booking they will not refund any monies. Highly recommend to find another tour company. Beware.

The tour was wonderful. The tour guides were very informative and gave lots of recommendations. I went during their down season in December, best decision every. There was not a lot of people at the most popular tourist locations. I recommend coming during the winter.

Since we were traveling in an unpopular travel time, we had our own private tour guide. Our guide, Nancy, was also our driver for Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La. The whole itinerary was very good scheduled and not to packed, so we had time to stroll around the cities by ourselves as well. We were very happy overall and will definitely recommend this tour

Great experience in general. Would recommend to friends and family!

Good value for money and the guide was on point. Would definitely use them again as an option for budget travel. China would likely have been difficult and beat and undoable without a tour (and I am a fairly a seasoned traveler)

The best things about this trip was our CEO, Jennifer. She was knowledgeable, helpful and gave a lot of great suggestions about foods to try, what we could do in our free time, etc. The accommodations and food were good for the price. The amount of time spent in transit and carrying around luggage was the main downside. The sleeper trains were also hard to get a good sleep on.

This is a great tour that packs a lot in. Time flies as you see so much although you won't spend long at many of the sites. My favourite bits of the itinerary were: - The Great Wall at Mutianyu (Beijing) we took the chair lift option which meant we could ride the toboggan back down. - Terracotta Warriors (Xian) half day - Li River Cruise (Guilin) - Huangpu River Cruise (Shanghai) which luckily turned into an evening cruise as we couldn't get on the earlier one. Those are the highlights but there are so many other things such as the Tang Dynasty Dancing and Dumpling Dinner and Summer Palace in Beijng and Reed Flute Caves in Guilin. In particular Guilin so picturesque and Shanghai so modern. We were lucky with our first two guides, Tina (Beijing) and Celine (Xian) who were both excellent. Autumn in Guilin and Mindy in Shanghai were good too. Autumn stayed with us to help us find and order food in the evenings so a couple of long shifts for her. Celine helped arrange a birthday cake for one of our younger travellers. Included meals were excellent. Full banquets usually in local restaurants but we really enjoyed the home cooked lunch as well. Food was plentyful. We even enjoyed the set meal box on the cruise. Hotels were generally of a good standard. Check-in at The Great Wall Hotel in Beijing was really slow though and trying to find a table for breakfast was difficult and located a fair distance away from where the restaurants are (need to get the subway to reach them) The hotel in Guilin was the worst one, the rooms being some distance away from the lift and lobby and small bathrooms. The hotel in Shanghai was excellent. It was nice touch that we got framed photo souvenirs of our trip from Beijing although I think both myself and my sister should have received one each as we paid for single supplements. Some feedback I'd give would be that they need to let us know about the optional night tours that are available on the website/ itinerary before we come out so that we can budget properly. There was a night visit for the Big Goose Pagoda in Xian with the musical fountain light show which we would have liked to have gone to didn't go to due to the weather. We found that the night cruise in Guilin was expensive as the premium we paid for the guide to buy the tickets and come onboard with us was excessive. We could have just walked to the ticket office and bought the tickets ourselves. The night tour of Shanghai was just as expensive but at least that included a coach to drive us around as well as the guide. Having said that, we could have used the subway and got around ourselves and because it started so late, we didn't see much. It is worth going up Jin Mao Tower. Overall, we had a great time on this trip and would recommend Travel China Guide.

Loved it Jerry the main dude was great

Extremely disappointed that we were not informed of the hotel change at the beginning of the trip. I think it would be beneficial to change the group meeting either early afternoon or after dinner so that people can see the Shanghai skyline at night For the sleeper train book whole section and then split the price so you can be with people you know. Sunny was a great guide. She was very informative, helpful and just an all around lovely person who allowed us to appreciate Chinese culture and hospitality.

We have a great time in Tibet joining the EBC tour with GTT. The arrangement route is nice, with 3 days at Lhasa for acclimatization. Both the tour guide Lobsang and driver Paksang were excellent in service, helping the visitor with smile, good advice, good information sharing, always provide helping hand when needed. I can see that they carry out their duty with passion from the heart. The itinerary timing was good, with an exception that 2 of our team member have some problem with the breathing when arrived at EBC. After couple of hour, we decided to leave EBC on the same day we reach to ensure the 2 members safety. The guide provides few options for decision making. Overall, it is an excellent tour and I would recommend to my friends GTT if they want to come to visit Tibet.

I can hardly think of the right words to thank you for a fantastic vacation in Tibet. I’m sorting out my photos, souvenirs. I come across a tiny piece of paper or a receipt, I remember a wonderful place we went, some warm & friendly person we met or something fascinating that we saw in Tibet. Our guide Dargye is a good guide, he speaks English very well, and he has full knowledge of Buddhism and local culture. We learned a lot from him. Again, thank you for everything. I recommended Great Tibet Tour to my friends.

We are a family of 3 who have just spent a fabulous 15 days in Tibet with Tibet Vista. From the moment that we were picked up at the airport we felt looked after and everything was very well organised throughout the 15 days. Our tour guide Sonam was full of enthusiasm , knowledge and energy. We learnt so much about Tibetan culture snd during our monastery and temple tours Sonam provided us with lots of information. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he always had a smile on his face. He was very helpful in all the hotels and restaurants. Our driver Mr Norbu was a very safe driver and again nothing was too much trouble for him on the long journeys. We would thoroughly recommend Tibet Vista. Very professional! The Willett family

Obtaining the permit for the trip was very last minute. I got the permit through TibetVista the day before the actual tour date. Since the permit was granted so last minute, it would not be delivered to me in time. I had to have it delivered to me in Chengdu and stay overnight in a hotel and have the permit delivered to me there. Here is the first issue with TibetVista. The travel service agreement I signed stated that permit delivery within China mainland is included in the trip fees... however, they charged me 400RMB (~80CAD) to have it delivered to me in Chengdu. The representatives I spoke to about this fee even guilted me, saying they are just trying to make my dream to go to Tibet a reality and I shouldn't ask for the 400RMB delivery fee to be waived. The second problem with TibetVista is that the agent I was working with told me that there were no other travellers on the group tour that wanted to share a room and I would have to pay an extra 840RMB (~170CAD) as a single room supplement fee. This was in the contract that if there were no other travellers to share, you would have to pay. So that was okay. HOWEVER, upon talking to other travellers in the tour group, it turns out there were at least 4 other people (if not more) that were told the same thing... that there was no one else that wanted to share a room and we were all being charged the single room fee. The unexpected and unreasonable fees that TibetVista snuck into an already pricey tour is unacceptable. I would not recommend booking a tour to Tibet with this company. The only reason this is 2/5 rather than 1/5 for the experience is because Tibet is incredible and the tour guide Tashi was extremely knowledgeable and made visiting Tibet an unforgettable experience. To summarize, definitely go to Tibet because it is an amazing experience... but don't book with TibetVista because you'll be paying unexpected fees on top of an already pricey trip.

I took their Beijing tour back a few years ago and loved it!! I still can't believe I saw so much of China in just 3 weeks! The hostels were actually really nice, and the experiences were incredible. Guides were all super friendly and had fun recommendations. When meals weren't provided, we'd get a group dinner together which was super fun. At times I was the most exhausted I've ever been, but the guides were super motivated and kept the energy up. I know people who have gone on more expensive tours of China and didn't get to do the cool stuff we did like camping on the great wall of china or training with shaolin warriors.

The tour was incredible it far passed expection. If your thinking of going to China you should 100% go and with the dragon trip. All the guides couldn't be more helpful and everything was organised perfectly

This was a fantastic trip- highly recommended. Timing meant that I was the only traveller, and the whole journey was handled with professionalism and immense responsiveness. The tour was definitely a challenge in parts, but safety was at the heart of planning, and the guides were happy to let me decide what was possible outside things like thunderstorms and extreme heat. Rush, the primary guide, was very knowledgeable about the locations and sites- and he can talk for hours about them! He also ensured that food was abundant- seriously, so much excellent food- and will let you be as experimental as you like with the local dishes. We got on very well throughout the two weeks. Really, the only problem is that I have already finished the tour now, and cannot do the whole thing again with new eyes. Some of my colleagues have already signed up for a shortened version, and the company is tailoring the new trip to their requests. A great tour, a great company, a great set of guides, and absolutely mind-blowing countryside.

A brand new tourism method that truly provides a deep understanding of local ethnic characteristics, lifestyle habits, and traditional culture. I have participated in several team tours before, which was also good, but this was the best and most unforgettable one.

It was an unforgettable trip. This time during the epidemic, many places were not fully open. In order to make our travel more convenient and safer, our guide did his best for us and made us have a good time without being infected by the virus. Here, once again, thank the travel agencies and staff who have provided services for us!

Very knowledgeable guide, friendly and would go the extra mile for us. Very punctual, helpful loved Rogan as our guide could not asked for more,

Rogin Luo was our tour guide and he was excellent! We can not fault his service.

A perfect taste of China!

This was a wonderful tour, Sabrina, our guide was very knowledgeable and looked after us well. I would highly recommend.
