Small Group Tours Reviews

China is a breathtaking country, rich in history, culture, and hospitality. The warmth of its people, the diversity of its cuisine, and the sheer beauty of its landscapes make for an unforgettable experience. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, every destination was a feast for the senses. The tour itself was impeccably organized, ensuring a seamless and enriching journey. The guides were not only highly skilled professionals but also passionate storytellers, bringing each location to life with their knowledge and enthusiasm. Their expertise and attention to detail made the trip both enjoyable and insightful. Truly a world-class experience!

This Beijing city package was a gift for my parents, and it turned out to be the best choice! The package included 3 nights at a downtown hotel, tickets to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, all transportation, and a private guide. The guide, Miss Zhang, was incredibly patient and kind. She looked after my parents throughout, adjusted the walking pace, and explained everything in detail. She even taught my parents how to order food in Chinese! The arranged vehicle was very comfortable, and the driver was always punctual. A Beijing duck dinner was also included, which my parents loved. This package removed all language and logistical barriers, allowing my parents to explore Beijing with ease and comfort. They haven't stopped raving about the trip since returning. Thank you so much!

Our customized Silk Road itinerary in Xinjiang exceeded expectations! The agency arranged visits to Turpan’s Grape Valley and Kashgar’s Old City based on our interests. Our guide, a local Uyghur, was hospitable and knowledgeable. The comfortable vehicle and skilled driver saved us time. At Kashgar’s bazaar, the guide helped us bargain for a beautiful carpet. Hotels blended modern amenities with local charm. Thank you for creating such a unique journey tailored to our preferences!

We had a great experience and excellent services. Everything happened as planed and promised. The guides where very kind and provide important information about the sites demonstrating great knowledge of the history and fantastic visits logistic, saving time and avoiding the crowd. Definitively recommend Travel China Guide for any foreign traveler to China.

Our family had a blast exploring Guangxi’s stunning karsts, Xinjiang’s vast, colorful landscapes, and Xi’an’s ancient wonders. China’s so fun—every place feels like a new adventure! Lily made it perfect: patient with the kids, full of cool stories, and kept everything smooth. We laughed, marveled, and made memories to last. Thanks, Lily—you’re the best! This trip? Unbeatable.

Our small group tour in Zhangjiajie with only 6 people was incredible! The guide was extremely professional and took us on some lesser-known paths in the forest park, perfectly avoiding the crowded tour groups. At Tianzi Mountain, we saw the sea of clouds swirling around the peaks, it was like a fairy tale. The guide was also a skilled photographer and proactively took photos for each of us from the best angles. The included Bailong Elevator ticket saved us about two hours of queueing. The Tujia-style dinner in the evening was a fantastic local experience, sour, spicy, and delicious. Our group mates from the US and Canada became fast friends, the atmosphere was great. This small group tour truly offers an in-depth experience, highly recommended!

As a Muslim traveler, I always worried about halal food issues during trips to China—until I saw the positive reviews of this “Chengdu Muslim-Friendly City Package” on Trustpilot. After the actual experience, it completely dispelled my concerns! The package covers three core attractions: Chengdu Panda Base, Jinli Ancient Street, and Qingyang Palace. Guide A Ling understood my needs in advance and arranged halal-certified restaurants throughout the trip, such as “Huangchengba Halal Food” for beef pancakes and mutton soup. The meat was fresh and compliant with religious teachings, and even the drinks were confirmed alcohol-free.​ When visiting the Panda Base, A Ling deliberately avoided peak hours and took us to observe pandas eating at close range. She also explained panda conservation knowledge in French + Malay (my husband is French, so communication was smooth). When touring Jinli, she helped us select halal food stalls and recommended sweet osmanthus cakes and almond tea—moderate sweetness, perfectly suited to Malaysian tastes. The most thoughtful part was that 15-20 minutes of prayer time was reserved during each day’s itinerary; A Ling checked in advance for mosques or quiet prayer spots near the attractions, so I didn’t have to worry about my religious needs.​ On the last day of the trip, A Ling also took us to a halal Sichuan opera teahouse, choosing “face-changing + fire-breathing” performances without pork elements—allowing us to experience local culture without violating our beliefs. After returning to Malaysia, I wrote a detailed PRODUCT REVIEW on a Muslim travel forum, and many friends asked me for the booking link. If you’re a Muslim wanting to travel to Chengdu, choosing this City Package is definitely correct—it perfectly balances faith and travel!

Chengdu, you stole my heart. This solo trip was everything I dreamed of—and more. Waking up to the smell of spicy hotpot in the air, wandering through the tree-lined streets of Jinli, sipping tea in a centuries-old teahouse while listening to locals chat… it felt like stepping into a warm, lively story. But the highlight? The pandas. Oh, those fluffy giants! Watching a baby panda roll around in the grass, munching bamboo like it’s the best snack on earth—my heart practically melted. I stood there grinning like a kid, snapping photos (though none capture their magic). It’s a moment I’ll replay forever. This trip wasn’t just about seeing sights—it was about feeling joy, slow and sweet. Chengdu, thank you for the memories. I’ll be back, with more tea and a bigger smile.

I am full of curiosity about China’s ancient history, especially the Tang Dynasty culture, so I chose Xi’an’s Small Group Tour. When I saw the reviews of this company on Tripadvisor, “small group size” and “guide with rich historical knowledge” were the most attractive points—and after the actual experience, I think this is the most rewarding trip I have had in China!​ Our small group had only 6 people from different countries, and Guide Lao Zhou graduated from the history department and has a thorough understanding of Xi’an’s history. When we went to the Terracotta Army, he didn’t just take us to see the pit groups, but explained in detail the gestures and costumes of each terracotta warrior (which represented their identities), and even showed us color photos of the terracotta warriors when they were just unearthed on his mobile phone (I never knew the terracotta warriors were originally colored!). He also explained in a mix of simple English and Hindi to ensure I could understand everything; this patience moved me a lot.​ The most surprising part of the trip was the night tour of the Tang Dynasty Never-Sleeping City: Lao Zhou took us to watch the performance of the “Tumbler Lady,” explained the night market culture of the Tang Dynasty, and recommended local “roujiamo” (meat sandwich) and “yangrou paomo” (lamb soup with steamed bread). I told Lao Zhou that I like spicy food, so he specially took me to a small shop and added special chili oil—the taste was spicy and satisfying, more distinctive than the spicy snacks I have eaten in India!​ The transportation and tickets for the whole trip were arranged by the travel agency; I didn’t have to queue or find routes by myself, saving a lot of time. Lao Zhou would also remind us of the next day’s weather and clothing (the temperature difference between morning and evening in Xi’an is very large) after the end of each day’s itinerary. After returning to India, I wrote a detailed PRODUCT REVIEW on my travel blog, and many readers left messages saying they wanted to refer to my itinerary—if you are interested in Chinese history, you must choose this Small Group Tour; it will make you feel as interesting as “reading a living history book”!
