Should we get our China visas before booking first? Not sure how long this process takes. Since transport is not included upon departure, and we do not speak Chinese, we are not sure how to set up transport independently to go to the airport at the end of the tour and will need assistance.

Once we arrive, how will we find your group for transport to first hotel? We are a little nervous since we do not speak Chinese and want to be sure we can easily find the group once we land in China.

Can we Able to avail this tour with just 10 days? And the available dates provided on you website are not suited to our availability, we are thinking about September 29 to October 8.

You could take this 11-day tour with 240-hour transit visa free service, for it counts from 00:00 of the day following passengers' arrival. That is to say, the allowed time to stay is actually longer than 240 hours. About the tour date, we do not have the group tour starting on Sep 29. But we could arrange the private tour for you. However, it is our National Holiday from Oct 01 to Oct 08, when there are lots of domestic tourists and it will be very crowded at the sightseeing sites. You could not enjoy your visit with the crowds. Besides, the service charge and hotel room rate will be increased then. To lower the cost and have a good tour, I would like to suggest you change the tour date to avoid the holiday.

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.Show more

  Traveler•Written January 2026
  When we buy flights, should we arrive on Friday 4/17 at a specific time?
- Agate TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  Generally, the validity of a single-entry visa is 3 months, counted from the date of issue. Please apply only 1 or 2 months (at least 2 weeks) before your planned date for visit. If you apply for it too late, you may not have enough time for the application. If you apply for it too early, it may become invalid before your departure. If you want to apply for a 10-year China visa, that's no problem to apply it for now.
- Agate TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  We will arrange our local English-speaking tour guide holding a banner with your name and waiting for you at the airport. We will also offer our tour guide's contact info before the trip. Don't worry about that.
- Agate TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  No. Whenever you arrive, we will pick you up at the airport.
