Awesome and Reliable Travel Partner.
I approached China highlights for my 7 day visit to Guilin and Yangshuo, right from Day 1 of enquiry , be it train booking or itinerary modification, the support from them is awesome. They ensure they arranged me a good english speaking guide and Gary was the one who takes care of me and my entire family all the seven days. He received me from the Train Station and he ensured he is there until i board back the train safely. He ensured we are happy each and every minute of this vacation.
I would recommend China Highlights a 5/5 star and their guide Gary 5/5 start too. Looking forward for my next vacation in other part of china with China Highlights.
Annie, our tour assistant help us in all the moment for the booking reservation.
We went to the Hunging Temple. Our guide was Tracy and was very nice and helpful too.
The Hanging Temple is great.
Everything was perfect.
We visited Chengdu for a couple of days with a great guide, Eric. He is passionate about his job and very competent, he told us a lot about things visited and about China in general. He speaks perfect English so we have learnt a lot about China during these 2 days. In order to avoid long cues for visiting Pandas, we chose a smaller enclosure even if a bit more far away, we got there by 9am, short cue and in time for us to see them eating (when it’s hotter they sleep). Thanks a lot! We will recommend you to our friends!
Unforgettable Days in Lijiang
We had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with Jack from China Highlights, and I honestly do not know how we would have done it without him! From the moment we met, Jack took care of everything – from hotel check-in assistance, arranging oxygen tanks for the altitude, securing show tickets, to guiding us seamlessly through all our adventures.
He took us through the charming lanes of Lijiang and several ancient towns just outside the city, sharing stories, culture, and little-known facts that made the history come alive. His knowledge, warmth, and patience were next-level.
The highlight (quite literally!) was our trip up Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Jack made sure we were well-prepared and safe every step of the way. He guided us to Spruce Meadow, through the Blue Moon Valley, and helped us take in every bit without feeling rushed. We felt so well looked after the whole time.
Jack was not just a guide – he was like a trusted travel buddy who genuinely cared about making our day special. If you are booking a trip in the Lijiang area, ask for Jack. You will be in the best hands!
Highly, highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Two-week trip through China
We have planned a two-week trip through China, visiting the cities of Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, and Chongqing and took a three-day river cruise on the Yangtze to the Three Gorges Dam. Vanessa Zheng was my contact and was great at accommodating our wishes, both during the preparation and while we were on the trip, should we want to make any adjustments. Everything went perfectly during the trip. The booked hotels met our expectations, the transfers, high-speed tickets and excursion tickets were organised. The German-speaking guides, Walter in Beijing, Lusia in Xi'an, Axel in Chengdu and Chili in Chongqing were excellent. They knew a lot about the respective sights and provided us with many other useful pieces of information for our stay and personal explorations. Moreover, they gave us an insight into everyday life in this impressive country full of contrasts. I can highly recommend China Travel and I sincerely thank Vanessa and all the guides for making our stay in China so pleasant, interesting and unforgettable.
China highlights arranged the weekend trip to Hangzhuo for us. Our tour guide, Eleven picked us up from the train station and guided us throughout the day, making it seem like travelling with a friend. Eleven was friendly and thoughtful and the driver knows his way around the place, making the trip enjoyable and relaxing.
Evan was a great tour guide - knowledgeable, pleasant, accommodating and spoke excellent English. Mr He was our driver and he was punctual and his car was clean and efficient. Overall, we had a wonderful time in Chengdu.
Our guide, Lee was fantastic. We were only in Chengdu for a short time and it was our last stop in China. Lee’s passion for city was infectious and it has me wanting to go back to see more.
He had great suggestions for how to spend our free time and great restaurant recommendations.
He’s a great guide and very passionate about what he does.
We recently spent 3 days in Beijing. After being a bit sceptical because I did not know China Highlights we have booked two day trips, one to the Forbidden City and the other to the Great Wall and Temple of haven, and a train ticket on the high speed train from Beijing to Shanghai with. The service during the booking was extremely professional and informative. Vivi always replied instantly and was very open to individual requests.
Our tour guide Jessica met at on time at our hotel. She was extremely friendly, kind, intelligent and knew a lot about Chinese history. We througoughly enjoyed both day trips to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Thanks to the professional planning of China Highlights and the knowledge and experience of our lovely Guide Jessica we were able to discover so many things within a short amount of time. Everything worked out perfectly and the tours did not feel stressful at all because it was so well organized. We also stopped for lunch twice at local restaurants, and the food Jessica has recommended was absolutely delicious. I can not thank Jessica and driver enough for everything!
We have received the train tickets via E-Mail and everything worked out smoothly at the station. There was no need to get physical tickets, we were able to board the train with the tickets China Highlights have provided.
Many thanks for everything, we will be back to China soon and will definitely choose China for our preferred travel agency.
We had wonderful family trip to Shanghai, Guilin, Chengdu and Beijing for 12 days. Arrangements of Car and guides were excellent. They gave us plenty of time for sightseeing and suggested us proper spots for perfect photos. I asked for 'rickshaw to experience the Hutongs' but it was not included and many times I Vanessa for any additional sights as per her experience but she never replied or made any suggestions on that. She just followed the Itinerary I gave.
Vanessa arranged a trip for our family of 7 to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, and Chengdu, Sichuan. I couldn’t be happier with their service. They arranged comfortable transportation, good hotels, and knowledgeable guides that catered perfectly to our family’s needs, including a 5-month-old baby. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making our trip smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend China Travel for families looking for a hassle-free travel experience!
Chinatravel is a great tour company. Every detail was thought of. All of our guides spoke excellent English and were knowledgeable and fun to be with. Every driver was punctual and skilled for travel to different locations. They chose good and comfortable hotels. In particular we thank you Vanessa Zheng, for being careful to our needs.
We’ll definitely recommend using Chinatravel when visiting China.
This trip was an amazing experience for Rose Marie Centofanti
This trip was an amazing experience for me!
I have been wanting to visit the cities of Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai for decades!! My prayers and wishes finally were fulfilled.
I traveled with 3 other people. This was the first private tour I had ever experienced. This is the way to travel.
Our tour guides and drivers were amazing in all 3 cities! The sites we visited and the experiences we had will forever been in my memories and heart!
Vanessa was excellent and always just an email away if needed!!
I can’t recommend China Travel enough!
Thank You!!!
My experience was great from the get go! I have to say it all started for me when I enlisted in China Travel, particularly being connected with my contact Vanessa Zhang. I was very impressed with her professionalism through and through.
When I was doing my research to visit China, I checked several companies at the same time. Everybody wanted to sell their fixed tour trips in the Triangle Beijing-Xi'an-Shanghai and places in between, but I had particular route of museums and cities that off the normal touristic paths and most companies openly told me that they did not serve those places. Three companies were willing to take to the places that I wanted. In the end I decided to choose China Travel because the person who responded my emails (Sally Guo) was knowledgeable about the historically oriented subject matter that was driving my visit to China. Sally created quickly an itinerary for one full month in China visiting places that were important for me, but not for the bulk of tourists. The price of the tour was also competitive compared with other companies. Overall, I fulfilled the goals of my trip, that included always a car with a driver, a guide, transportation and hotels. I had a good time and whenever something unexpected happened, the local guides, Sally and the company responded quickly and found a quick and satisfactory solution. I will keep using the services of this company if future visits to China.
We organised a short trip to Shanghai and Beijing using Vanesa at China Travel. All I had to do was tell her how long we wanted to spend in each city, and she did the rest. Everything was laid on for us, including
Being met at the airport
All our hotels
A high speed train trip from Shanghai to Beijing
Trips to various places of interest with an English speaking guide
I cannot commend her service enough, she even sent our itinerary through early to enable us to get our visas.
