Amazing Tour Company for China
This was our first time in China, and we were so lucky to have China Culture Tour and their private guides throughout our entire almost three-week stay! They handled everything, from the moment we contacted them to inquire about their tours, recommendations, and pricing and all the way until we returned to the U.S. They held our hands throughout the entire process, including obtaining our visas, and even checked in on us throughout our stay to ensure everything was going well and we were happy. We couldn't believe the great service that they provided! Grace was so helpful and communicative and caring! She responded immediately to any questions we had, even when our plane was delayed leaving Europe for Beijing. Everything went so smoothly! And we really appreciated how well Grace planned our day tours down to the last detail. The company thought of everything, including recommending activities that we could do in each city in the evenings. All of our lunches were also included during the tours as well as our transportation, fees for sites, etc. What was also fantastic is that they didn't have a cookie-cutter approach to creating our tours. They truly took the time to ask us about our interests, the type of food we enjoyed, etc., and continuously revised our itinerary until we were completely satisfied. They also came up with suggestions that we had never thought of. For example, we had never heard of Xi'an before, but based on learning of our interest in history, they recommended that we spend several days there. And we were so happy that we did! It was such an amazing experience, and we highly recommend that people visit Xi'an in addition to other cities in China. We visited Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai, and this was the perfect itinerary for us. All of our tour guides were top-notch, including Lucy in Xi'an. She was so knowledgeable about this city in which she grew up in, and we could tell that she truly enjoyed taking visitors around the city so they could see just how breathtaking it is. Lucy and our other guides felt just like close friends who were excited to have my husband and I visit and spend days with them. In Xi'an, we also had one of the most memorable experiences of our time in China, a private dumpling-making lunch in the home of a wonderful woman. She made us feel so welcome. It really touched our hearts, and it just made us feel so happy that you can have such wonderful connections with people in other countries. She even told us we were like family from another country. This experience was better than we could ever have anticipated. We have traveled all of over the world, and without a doubt, China Culture Tour is of the utmost, highest caliber of private luxury tours and for a wonderful price. For anyone visiting China for the first time or even after many times, we would highly recommend this company to customize an amazing tour for you. You will be in great hands with a company that truly cares about each of its customers!
