This was part of our 12-day private tour by Travel China Guide. We visited Zhangjiajie as well as Fenghuang. It was amazing and once in a life time experience. Our local guide LJ was exceptional. Very efficient, attentive, accommodating, kind, and great communicator. Our multi generational group of 18 thoroughly enjoyed our time in this spectacular region of China. Thank you LJ!

Lily – my personal Thank You for the lovely reception that we received upon our late arrival in Guilin at 11.00 pm and arranging for our rooms to be cooled before reaching our accommodations at the Sheraton Hotel. This gesture was thoughtful, considerate and most welcomed. I wish to express my appreciation that she ensured that the minutest details were also taken care of, resulting in our visit in Guilin to be lovely, pleasant, most enjoyable and memorable. I especially want to thank Lily for supporting me, and speaking on my behalf to the authorities as there was a perceived recorded error of the expiry date that conflicted with my new passport. Her professionalism, her ‘common sense’ approach to the said misunderstanding, her calm demeanour, her quiet perseverance in explanations to the authorities diffusing the situation, gave me the comfort of knowing that the matter would be resolved amicably. Her composure in handling the problem not only assured me, but that calmness exuded itself to me and at no moment did I feel alone, abandoned nor anxious. I was totally confident in her ability to settle the issue. Further, I wish to acknowledge and compliment Lily for recommending and arranging the ‘Impression' show by Sanjie Liu. The show was definitely a show stopper and, in my humble opinion, should be one the visits that Guilin has to offer. Lily is a total credit to the travel agency - Travel China Guide, her professionalism is of the highest quality, setting a high bar for integrity and competency!

I want to thank the guide Ms Lee for guiding us in Guiling and Yangshuo and share with us the story and culture of the local people. It was really a great experience and there were a lot of beautiful scenarios that we gladly discovered.

Lily Cao is our tour guide. She is excellent, understanding of our needs, approachable, friendly, caring and accommodating.

As part of the excellent Classic China Tour we spent two days in Guilin with the very helpful and informative QiuyanLi as our guide for the area. QiuyanLi ('Li' for short) met us at the airport and took us to the very impressive Reed Flute Cave complex which we really enjoyed. It can, apparently, be very busy but was not at all crowded when we visited so Li was able to show us around the caves without any difficulty. From there we headed towards the city to see Elephant Trunk Hill. Unfortunately, it was extremely crowded and noisy around the best viewing areas when we visited making it hard to see the best views or hear all of the commentary, despite Li's best efforts. Our hotel, the Sheraton, was in a great location close to the river and city centre and we found the buffet style breakfasts in the coffee shop were excellent though it was very crowded both mornings. Our room was OK but just a little tired and disappointing compared to some of the others on the tour. Two comfortable chairs would have been better that just one for a couple. The city is very interesting and friendly with markets and food options of all sorts though we did encounter some issues with misunderstandings over language translations but that can all be part of the travel experience in a foreign country. We discovered that one of the best (and reasonably priced) options for a local meal is, ironically, the Irish pub next to the hotel which had almost no Irish meal options but some excellent Chinese ones making it a favourite of many of the locals, including Li! The artificial waterfall which flows over the side of the Waterfall Hotel in the city at certain times in the evening is as spectacular as it is unexpected and worth the short walk. The beautiful cruise to Yangshuo on the Li River was outstanding and one of the highlights of the whole tour. Li came along and made sure we missed nothing. It was wonderful! We had been warned that the lunch provided on the cruise might be disappointing but we enjoyed it very much and found the hospitality on the boat to be excellent. Yangshuo was a very interesting and attractive little town where we had time for a short break before heading out to the countryside to walk around a small farming village which was quite interesting and showed us a very different aspect to local life. There was an optional evening cruise on the Li River in the city area. We nearly didn't bother but that would have been a huge mistake. It was breathtaking and another of the highlights of our whole trip! It is so good that we think it should be included as part of the main tour. Guilin really puts on a show! Li, again, came along to make sure that we really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks, Guilin and thanks QiuyanLi.

We took the 10 day Incredible China Tour in early November...we had an incredible time...our Tour guide Jason in Beijing took very good care of us and also giving us in depth commentaries for our trips in Beijing. He was very good...appreciate him very much. David Zhang took us on our second half of trip from Wuxi to Shanghai...he was incredible...really organized..providing us with extra bits like raincoats...snacks if we were late for lunch etc and he was hilarious ....these two guides David and Jason plus our amazing fella travellers in our group A made this trip amazing for my wife and I. Only disappointment we have really is with AVG Head Office in Australia for their terrible and slow service in responding to my enquiries and emails. They were quick to take our money but once we had paid it took them ages to respond to my emails...making it very anxious for us if we had to query and wanted quick response. AVG needs to seriously improve their service if they expect any of us to come back for other tours...very disappointed ...lucky for them to have good Tour guides like David and Jason on our trip to make up for AVG Head Office appalling service.

We had a fantastic time in Guilin and Yangshuo and our guide Tom Wu and our driver were great. We were met at the station, all be it with a little wait as there was a mixup with which station, so do double check! We saw all the sites in Guilin and Yangshuo and found it truly beautiful and a great rest stop on our extended 18 day trip. I asked about the local cuisine and Tom took us to a great local place for a hearty bowl of rice noodles! The next day Tom had some suggestions for tweaks to our itinerary to make it more relaxed, and surprised us with a trip to an ancient village and a wonderful restaurant. We really appreciated that! Travel China guide were happy for us to choose our own hotels, and the guide and driver were always on time and helped us with bags and everything. Overall we felt well looked after, learned lots of historical ands cultural information and appreciated having a local guide with great local knowledge. Thanks Tom!

We loved our tour of Guilin and Yangshuo with our amazing guide Samantha. We would highly recommend the trip, with a good mix of activities, from the magical Li River Cruise to taking scooters around the countryside. Samantha really made sure we had a great time and is a real local expert.

We (10 of us), visited Beijing, Xi'an, Chongqing, Wuhan. Very well and thoughtfully organized, including transportation and accommodation by the super fast and responsive Amy Jian. Extremely pleased with her efficiency and care. Well done!

My family and I recently completed a 10-day small group tour with Travel China Guide, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very start, communication was smooth, with all our questions answered promptly. The tour was well organized, and the bus provided was always roomy and clean. The itinerary was packed with sights, giving great value for those wanting to see as much as possible, though we felt a few stops could have been skipped for more relaxed mornings or earlier finishes. Now, onto the standout tour guide! Samantha was an absolute joy. She was warm, personable, and made everyone feel at ease throughout our time in Guilin. Her friendly nature created a relaxed atmosphere, and she was always ready to chat and share stories about local life. Samantha was flexible and ensured that all aspects of the itinerary were well executed.

We went as a family for the rice terraces tour with guide Tom Wu. He was very good. Listened to our requests. Was very informative and interesting and made our visit grate. Thank you Tom

Our guide, Lily Cao, was absolutely incredible. We were always well looked after and were blown away by the beauty of Guilin and Yangshuo. She had so much knowledge and was such pleasant company the whole trip - we had so much fun with her. Outside of our itinerary we asked about rock climbing and buying local tea. Within minutes Lily hooked us up with great climbing guides, a whole tea experience, etc. And in addition to our planned meals Lily brought us local fruits to try and made sure we always had what we needed. Couldn’t have asked for more. (Our driver Mr. Tree was great too!)

We visited Yangshuo in September 2024. It was an unforgettable experience - the show impression Liu Sanjie in the lake, the hot-air balloon, the nature! Big thanks to our tour guide Arthur Du - We have never received such good service and concern.

We had an incredible time hiking through the Longsheng Rice Terraces and the karst peaks outside of Yangshuo. Our guide Arthur was the best! Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! The scenery was sublime, and Arthur's knowledge of the area, the history and the culture made our experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour!
