We had a great time with TCT, the guides were great - and the experience was amazing. We actually formed some long term friendships for the future which was amazing. Really the only feedback we would have is to ensure that on all transfers (train/flight) they should make sure you are next to your significant other, we got separated on one because they didn't pre-book it. Other than that highly recommend and China is a must see, totally different experience/world then what you were told and is a MUST.Show more

Hi Dallen, thank you for recognizing our team and service. And we are sorry again for the limited flights from Zhangjiajie to Shanghai. And we did really book the flights in advance, while we failed. Thanks again for your feedback.

It was a first time experience for me to travel in with a group of strangers and it was a fun experience. They let us know where are the god places to buy thing or shop for things. But I think the downside it that it should be a bit more organised. Some of the guides don't mention first and people wander off. They don't keep track of the people if they are still with the group or not till later. But then again it's not the guides fault. It's best if the guide is more organised. Overall I'd say the tour was fun, exceptional and I believe some people made some new friends along the way😊.Show more

Would recommend to anyone looking to travel to China. TCT looked after us very well, collected from airports and stations without issues, helped us check in etc. The guides were excellent, and very helpful. The itinerary was well put together, fitted a lot in without being exhausting. Just a couple of hotels could have been better, would recommend to the company to use a different hotel in Beijing and Zgangjijie.Show more
