Memorable experience of a great country with so much to offer and value for money.
Very well organised throughout, though we travelled at the most busy time of the year, during China's national holiday week our tour was smooth, seamlessly coordinated, thoughtfully guided using less crowded routes without missing out the highlights. Train connections despite the crowds were carefully and thoughtfully arranged, from boarding to alighting. Guides were knowledgeable, informative, accommodating and helpful, hotels very comfortable, meals very good. We left China with feelings of wonder and amazement at the country's beauty, her ability and achievements to allow great numbers of visitors the experience without impacting on the environment. We were awed with her efficiency and technological advancement the competence and the apparent pride and resilience of her peoples.
This is our third time engaging China Discovery to plan our trips to China. Our travel consultant April is very professional, responsive, patience and customer oriented which made all planning so easy and smooth. Our group size for the three trips range from 4, 6 and 11 persons. All of us were very happy with all the arrangements from the service of the driver, the tour guide to hotel and meals. All arrangements and services had been consistently excellent. A big thank you to April. I highly recommend China Discovery to all.
China Discovery covered every aspect of our 15 day whirlwind tour through China. Our agent, Shirley Yang, communicated every detail meticulously months in advance. Our English speaking guides were knowledgeable, attentive and very helpful. Every entry ticket, train arrival, train departure, hotel booking, drive to any outing were superbly handled. Drivers were capable, responsible and courteous. Vehicles were excellent. Personal attention during illness was appreciated. Gifts and reimbursements were showered on us when some outings could not be completed as a result. This company knows their stuff. They made China, as a daunting destination in many ways, a memorable place to visit. Well done and thank you!
Our trip to China was well organised and excellent value for money with great locations to visit, lovely knowledgeable guides who spoke good English, high quality hotels and food and efficient travel arrangements. Very good customer service from Mr Wonder Wang who patiently answered our endless questions and made sure we had all the information that we needed
An amazing trip through China's beautiful landscapes and cities. Thanks to the organizers for the professionalism, the great atmosphere, the interesting commentary, and the overall high standard of service. We hope to return soon!
Our recent family trip ( of 10 pax) to Xiamen and Shantou was an awesome and memorable one for all of us. We had a fantastic guide, Jayden, in Xiamen, an expert in Fujian history and culture. And we an energetic guide, Cherry, who led us to Wuyishan and the challenging Tianyou Peak. The trip was well organised and managed, thanks to China Discovery.
But this is no surprise as this is my third trip organised by CD; thank you Jack, for your patience!😊
China Discovery is exemplary. Throughout the entire planning period, from March to August 2026, they handled all our suggestions and requests promptly, flexibly, professionally, and with great kindness. We especially appreciated the smooth management of the many changes we requested as additional travelers joined our team and new destinations were added to the itinerary.
All the destinations and excursions were interesting and very well arranged. Together, they gave us a fascinating insight into modern China.
We received a very warm welcome from every local guide, from the moment we arrived at each destination until our departure. They impressed us with their hospitality, knowledge, and flexibility. The choice of guides was excellent.
Another highlight was the remarkable variety of scenery we experienced, particularly the beautiful views during our cruise on the Li River. We also enjoyed seeing the great diversity of Chinese cities and architecture, ranging from ancient places such as Xingping Ancient Town to modern, futuristic financial districts.
Among the cultural settings we particularly appreciated was People’s Park (Renmin Park). The hotels were also excellent and often offered very good breakfast buffets. The only hotel that did not quite meet our expectations was the Ocean Hotel in Guangzhou.
We would highly recommend China Discovery to anyone planning a trip to mainland China.
My husband and I have just returned from a 21-day private tour of China, including Tibet, with China Discovery. We had the best time, thanks to Jack Li who organised such an amazing trip that went off without a hitch. Everything was planned perfectly, and we never had to worry about who, when or where we would be picked up.
The places we visited were truly amazing, and each city/location was perfect to showcase how beautiful China is and how wonderful the people who live there are. This was evident in the drivers and guides. They were all excellent, Jack in Beijing, Kim in Xi’an, Namgyal in Lhasa, Jolie in Chengdu, Oscar in Guilin/Yangshuo, Eric in Zhangjiajie and finally Fiona in Shanghai. They went above and beyond their role as guides and became friends. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for their country and locations was evident and we learned so much about the culture and history of everywhere that we stayed.
Every hotel was perfect. They were all different, but every one of them was to a high standard of comfort and service. However, we have to point out one as being exceptionally outstanding, and that was the Baike Hotel in the Longji Rice Terraces. It has the most amazing views from the bedroom balcony, and their service and quality of food and friendliness was excellent for such a small hotel.
We have never done a private tour such as this before and were not quite sure how it would all work out. But we needn’t have worried. Everything was perfect. We travelled through a large part of China and the high-speed trains and flights booked were perfect for getting us about. So once again, thank you Jack and China Discovery, for the most amazing trip. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to visit China in a way that shows it at its very best.
Wonderful Chongqing and mystical Siguniang /Bipenggou
We booked a private trip for 4 people through Rita Jiang of China Discovery from 3 to 13 Sept 2026 to Chongqing and Chengdu(Siguniang and Bipenggou). It was a wonderful trip although tiring as walked a lot daily but worth it.
Rita has arranged good responsible drivers Mr Yang (Chongqing) and Mr Jiang(Chengdu) together with the English speaking guides Diana(Chongqing) and Maggie(Chengdu). The guides spoke good English with local knowledge of visiting places plus good food especially Maggie.
Our hotels arranged by Rita were clean and good location.
This was our second time with Rita Jiang of China Discovery so we are happy with her detailed, careful planning to our needs.
Now that we are back home, we want to express our sincere gratitude to Ms Wing Zeng, our Travel Consultant, for organizing our recent amazing Urumqi-Kashgar trip. We have been the clients of China Discovery (based in Chengdu) for years and this tour was the third tour with Wing. As always, we would like to thank Wing for her hard work on our itinerary and wonderful support while we organized our tour. Her knowledge and constant communication made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Every hotel, flight, transfer and all the activities went smoothly.
We would like to thank our local guides and drivers in Urumqi and Kashgar for their care and deep knowledge, patience, and great stories. They made every stop of this trip interesting and our experience unforgettable. We had a great chance to be introduced into the culture and delicious cuisine of the Xinjiang region and the people living here.
Wing’s friendly advice, constant help and every-day care and worry during our trip made our trip special and meant the world to us.
Hope to be back in the nearest future and visit Chengdu. Thank you very much, Elmira and Nick
We (party of two) booked our Yangzi River cruise via China Discovery with the excellent support of Jack Li. Out of this positive experience we decided also to organize local private tours with guide and transport along our 15 days China trip.
Jack was always very fast responding and helping also when we had to postpone the trip on very short notice. He helped rearrange the trip on a new date.
All services were delivered with excellent quality, on time and corresponding to our planning.
We can highly recommend China Discovery
I was fortunate to have consulted Yangtze River Cruises about a cruise from Yichang to Chongqing. They have an excellent easy to navigate website which is important as there are many options. From the word go I dealt with their agent, Samantha Peng. Her commitment to excellent service was evident from the word go. She was very well informed, her advice was invaluable, her responses were quick, clear and concise and friendly. The consequece of this was that the entire trip from the pick up at the train station was smooth and efficient. We booked on one of the smallest vessels, the Yangtze 1. One of the advantages of this is that it is small enough to use the boat lift up to the dam, a marvel of engineering and something we will never forget. We loved the trip and thank Andy, the cruise director, for his dedication to ensuring that we were always well looked after as we were the only foreigners on the vessel. Highly recommended.
A wonderful cruise that was arranged and supported by China discovery
From the moment I first contacted this company by email to completion of the trip, they have been so supportive. They send links for overseas payments with the balance to be paid 6 weeks before. It’s all above board and trustworthy, go for it, it was the best experience of our China trip. On the day of departure, they even confirmed the pier for me.
We had a wonderful time. The cruise was so much fun. We were one of three European families on the cruise and English speaking Stephen, one of the crew, dedicated time to us to make sure we understood the timetable and checked on us everyday. Announcements on the ship were in Chinese and English. The ship’s accommodation and facilities were of a high standard.
Day 1 We loved leaving Chongqing in the evening whilst the lights were shining from the buildings, there was a party atmosphere. We danced with the staff and other guests. Great fun.
The food was of high standard and had great choice with free beer and good wine.
Day 2 at the ghost city was a wonderful tour, so well organised with electric cars up to the city with an English speaking tour guide. The show on the evening was cancelled as the extreme weather had damaged the facilities so we were given another trip to another city the next day.
Day 3 we visited an ancient city with an English speaking tour guide. In the afternoon the ship sailed down the gorges which was spectacular, like the fjords of Norway, breathtaking and Stephen translated everything into English, before we transferred onto smaller boats to go deeper into the pretty gorges, again with English speaking guide.
It was so well organised that we packed our luggage this day and delivered it to the foyer for it to be transferred to the cruise terminal in Yichang, so well organised
Day 4 we woke up early to have breakfast before being transferred to another ship to go through the 3 gorges dam ship lift. This was a real highlight. Then we had a tour of the dam area with an English speaking guide who took us around the museum there before being transferred for an hour to Yichang where it was easy to identify and pick up our bags. We got to Yichangdong train station by 2pm for our bullet train to Wuhan
We had a fantastic time on board, we made great friends and felt very welcome. This is a cruise I would highly recommend.
Thank you for all your support Leo.
We loved China, you live in a wonderful country with a welcoming and safe society. We miss it .
Had a great trip to Beijing and Xi'an with China Discovery, we had fantastic guides who were very informative and we were very well looked after. The tour was very well run and would highly recommend using this company.
We are two travellers from Italy and we booked a Yangtze River cruise with this team for our trip to China in August 2026.
What impressed us most was the quality of the communication before departure. Wing, our consultant, answered every message promptly and in detail, anticipating the questions we had not even thought to ask. Booking from abroad, that kind of reliability is worth a great deal.
The cruise itself matched the description precisely. Comfortable ship, clean cabin, good and varied food, friendly staff, and shore excursions that were well organised and genuinely interesting. Sailing through the gorges gave us a perspective on China we would never have had by land.
Honestly, nothing we would change. We would use them again for another part of the country and we have already recommended them to friends planning a trip to China.
We fully enjoyed our trip to China in March of 2026, visiting Zhangjiajie, Chongqing, Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou. The highlight of the tour is the Yangtze River cruise. The scenery is spectacular. The trip was well organised, thanks to our travel consultant Samantha Peng as well as various tour guides and drivers. We definitely would use the service of China Discovery again, should we go back to China.
I booked over the internet, so it was a leap of faith. Would someone even show up at the airport at midnight to pick up my wife and I? My faith was well rewarded and more. It was perfect. The guides, the drivers, the accommodation and China itself. Superb!
We had an immensely enjoyable trip through China thanks to the super organising skills of Shirley and the team. We travelled from Hong Kong to Beijing with a 13yo and 18yo and every step of the way we felt supported, from all the pre-departure information (which was comprehensive and thorough) to the excellent guides and drivers.
Arriving in a new strange city is always daunting but the guides communicated well and met us right off the train. The cars were modern (and air conditioned!) and the guides were responsive to our needs and adapted well.
Thank you for making our trip seemless.
