My two sisters and I recently enjoyed a wonderful holiday to Huangshan, China, and we would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to China Culture Travel Agency for making our trip such a memorable experience.
As senior travelers, we were especially grateful for the exceptional care and attention given to us throughout the planning and journey. A special thank you goes to Linda, who meticulously curated our tour itinerary and graciously accommodated several last-minute changes to our high-speed train schedules. She also arranged hotel upgrades and ensured that we enjoyed delicious and sumptuous meals throughout our trip.
We would also like to give special recognition to our tour guide, April, who looked after us with remarkable kindness and dedication. She constantly ensured our safety and comfort, even helping to carry our bags when needed. Fluent in both English and Chinese, April is highly intelligent and possesses an impressive wealth of knowledge about the history, culture, and attractions of her homeland. Her insightful explanations greatly enriched our travel experience.

We wholeheartedly recommend China Culture Travel Agency to anyone planning a visit to China and thank them for helping create such precious memories for us.
With gratitude,

My sons and I just returned from one week (5 day tour) in Hulunbuir/Inner Mongolia. It was so much fun and gorgeous land and horses. Grace Wang of China Culture was terrific in corresponding and helping with an itinerary which we wanted. Lisa Yu was our guide and Bao Yin our driver and they went out of their way to make this a memorable trip. Lisa's English as well as her knowledge of the area and the people were super.
We just finished a 16 day customized tour of China with China culture tours. They were amazing! We covered Beijing, Xian, Kunming, Bei hai, and Guilin ( and yangshuo). We are a family of 9-- with varying interests and attention spans. We loved it. Every detail was conducted with perfection. The transfers were seamless and stress free. The guides were all exceptional. We are excited to come and visit China again. We will definitely use this company in the future.
China Culture Tour: Outstanding Tour Company that will exceed your most optimistic expectations
After extensive research, interviews, and comparisons between different high-end tour companies, we selected China Culture Tours for our 3 week private custom tour to China. It was the best decision we made about our trip. We worked closely with Linda Wu over a period of several weeks to plan an adventure that would be memorable and consistent with our interests. Her patience, knowledgeable advice, and great communication were fantastic and highly appreciated. She made many promises about the level of service we would receive while there, which honestly seemed too good to be true. Not only did CCT honor those promises, but they exceeded our expectations in every way. The logistics were flawless, which is critical when traveling to a place where English is rarely spoken and the situations are unfamiliar.
Over our 9 different locations, we were greeted by and spent several days with many different guides. All were excellent but Tony in Zhangjiajie, Marianne in Chongqing, and Cory in Guilin were particularly outstanding. As very experienced travelers, we cannot recommend China Culture Tours more highly. You will not be disappointed.
We have had a great experience with China culture tours while in china. Tina in Beijing and then the Spring in Xi'an did such a great job! They explained and were very thorough and gave us so much attention and helped us with whatever we needed. They helped us go early to the Great Wall of China and the terracotta warriors so that we could avoid the crowds and had a great time at all the attractions. The food has also been wonderful, helping us to find local places that were not touristy and that tasted great!
I cannot express how amazing China Culture Tours was! My 83-year-old grandma had wanted to visit China for years and years, and after coming across China Tours, we knew she was in good hands. Linda planned an incredibly detailed tour, focused on art and scenery for my grandmother, with plenty of rest breaks and time to relax if need be. She spent nearly 20 days in Hangzhou and Suzhou, with guides from China Tour the entire time. They organized not only amazing sights and experiences, but also all transportation, making sure she never had the chance to get lost or confused. My grandmother had an amazing time, and truly had a trip of a lifetime. I highly highly recommend
This was my third time using China Culture Tour to organize my trip, working closely with Linda again to create a dream-tour.
This time, I did a tour of the southern half of the country, starting in Shanghai and ending in Hong Kong. I used CCT for the Anhui - Fujian - Guangxi - Yunnan - Lhasa portion of the tour. As with other trips, all of Linda's suggestions were gold, including the hotels. The Riyuegu Hot Springs were not even on my origninal list, and yet it ended up being one of the highlights of my entire trip! The Yellow Mountains were as beautiful as their reputation maintains, as well as all of Anhui province, really; Yunnan is a province that demands your attention, particularly at the Dongchuan Red Lands, and the Yuanyang Rice Terraces; and Shuhe is my new favourite ancient town in China.
Linda is a wonderful lady who works at China Culture Tour, and helped me organize all 3 of my tours to China. Guilin happened to be her hometown, so we decided to meet there in person for the first time! It was a pleasure getting to know Linda while walking around the streets of Guilin during the Qingming festival. It was such a relaxing evening, which was much appreciated after over 2 weeks of strenuous walking and hiking.
In addition, I had absent-mindedly left an item behind in Hong Kong that was of great sentimental value to me, and I panicked when I realized it wasn't on my person when I was at the airport. I immediately contacted Linda, and she went above and beyond to help me locate my missing item, and it was actually found! 🙏
I would like to thank Linda and all her hard work at China Culture Tour. She must be acknowledged for her top-tier professionalism as well as her immediate warmth. These trips would not have been possible without her.
We had a 2 day tour in Xi’an with Shirley and would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking about doing a guided tour in Xi’an. Shirley was extremely knowledgeable and made our tour of the Terracotta Army extremely entertaining. We hiked Huashan on a rainy day, which was unfortunate. However, Shirley was extremely caring, she got us raincoats and anti grip shoe covers.
More than a travel agency, a truly caring experience
A wonderful trip thanks to China Culture Tour. It was our first time in China and we wanted to avoid any inconvenience, so we chose a private tour tailored to our preferences.
The experience with the guides in each city was excellent. We started with Sandy in Beijing, who was very attentive and helpful; then Shirley in Xi'an, a very kind and warm person; in Hangzhou we were accompanied by Eleven, with a cheerful and radiant personality; and we finished with Eileen in Shanghai, very professional and always looking after us.
Overall, everyone was friendly and easy to get along with. It’s also worth mentioning the drivers and the staff who assisted us with train and flight transfers—everything ran smoothly without a single issue.
I can’t fail to highlight the impeccable work of Nora, who was our initial point of contact and helped us customize our entire itinerary and overall planning, giving us great peace of mind on such a long trip from Peru.
Thank you to the whole team. If you’re hesitating, don’t think twice—choose this agency, you won’t regret it.
A big thank you to Crystal Chen for her help and company on my recent visit to the Four treasures Park in Xian to visit Qizai and other wonderful pandas. She made my stay very enjoyable. Very professional Alexandra Ryan
Faye has gone out of her way to ensure that we are well taken care of and she has gone above and beyond her call of duty. Her excellent and professional service are commendable and we wish to express our gratitude for the services rendered. She has curated a seamless journey for us. I will recommend to my friends your company when I return to Australia and Malaysia. We are very happy that she accompanied us during our entire trip and she is able to answer my queries about China. This is a small world, we shall meet again. Thanks Faye for being our tour guide and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
Cheers from Joon Soh and Rosemarie
China Culture Tour arranged our private tours with English speaking guides to Beijing and Shanghai. Nora helped to create a great itinerary and we had wonderful guides and drivers in each city. Serena was our Beijing guide and Brenda was our Shanghai guide. They both took great care of our family. I can’t imagine how we would have navigated China without them. The language barrier, security and lines around attractions, transportation, crowds, etc were handled professionally and efficiently. They made the process easy and a terrific experience.
Wrapping up our incredible tour of Shanghai with Brenda! She was an outstanding guide, brimming with fascinating historical insights and going above and beyond to make our experience truly unforgettable.
A friend recommended China Culture Tour and the service did not disappoint. Linda from CCT helped to arrange the trips for me and my group of friends to Lijiang in 2024 and Chongqing in 2025. Linda is meticulous and patient. She planned everything, taking into account our needs and preferences. The local guides and drivers she arranged were excellent in service and flexible with our itineraries. Linda constantly checked in to make sure that we are well supported during the trips. Recently, I approached Linda at the last minute to help with our trip to Guangzhou. She responded quickly even though it was peak period. The reliable and friendly service is why we keep choosing to travel with Linda and CCT whenever we are planning to visit China.
China is a very big country, we travelled from Hong Kong to the very western tip of China.
We spent 22 days on a very well plan trip by China Cultural Tour Tour. The trip included guides, drivers, train's, meals, hotels, tickets to the sites and everything else. There were no worries, just a good time.
The trip included 2-4 highlights in 7 cities. River boat cruise, caves, temples, UNESCO sites, western most Great Wall, bazaars, old towns, musicals, Kung Fu show and cultural dress and dance.
This is my second trip with Nora, again she provides the best organize tour I ever had. Everyone, who travel to China, needs to arrange there trip wip with China Cultural Tour. The price is bang on and good value for the dollar. I will like to give a loud shout out to my guides, who were extremely well verse in China history. My guides were Cristina in Guilin, Raymond in Huangshan, Orlando in Gansu, AJ in Urumqi- Turpan, Muhammad in Kashmir, Cherry on Luoyang and Ken in Xian
We travelled with China Culture twice, most recently on a 20-day Yunnan trip, and once again had an excellent experience thanks to our travel advisor, Nora. She designed a well-paced itinerary covering Kunming, Jianshui, Yuanyang, Dali, Shaxi, Lijiang, and Shangri-La, with trekking at Tiger Leaping Gorge and Meili Snow Mountain.
What truly stood out was the careful altitude progression. Unlike many other travellers we encountered who suffered altitude sickness and required oxygen, our entire family acclimatised very well with no discomfort at all.
The guides and drivers were professional and attentive, making the journey very comfortable. During the hikes, our Tibetan guide, Pema, was especially patient, guiding us carefully and allowing us to proceed at our own pace without any pressure.
Even after the tour ended, Nora continued to assist with train tickets and airport transfers. Highly recommended—we would gladly travel with China Culture again.
