Amazing trip

We visited city walls of Xi'an, Terracotta warriors museum, Great Mosque, Muslim Quarter organised by China Tours. The guide was so knowledgable with so many interesting informations from history and nowadays life in China for complete experience. We enjoyed every minute of our trip.

We did a 22 day tour over the main highlights of China including Tibet.

China Tours held our hand every step of the way. There were no problems that were not solved. I can’t say enough about how much fun we had and how great the many tour guides were. Highly recommend using China tours for those interested. Note we are mid 60’s USA citizens.

Guilin and Yangshuo

We were thoroughly impressed with the exceptional organization. Everything was perfectly tailored to our wishes. Our guide and driver were exemplary—punctual, polite, and incredibly attentive. The guide enriched our journey with fascinating stories about the area and its customs, and he was always available to assist us in any situation. The breathtaking beauty of Guilin and Yangshuo left us in awe. If we have the chance, we will definitely return to China for another adventure and will undoubtedly reach out to your agency for its planning.

Trip to Xi’An

The team was very professional and available at anytime in the planning stage of the trip, very willing to accommodate custom tours, we booked our own hotel for example. The guide spoke amazing English and was very fun.

Great Trip in Datong and Pingyao

We had another great trip in China ( Yunnan and Chongqing ) with China Tours this April 2024. Excellent service provided by the tour guide and driver along the trip. Also, we are satisfied for the tour arrangements by Martha, China Tours for excellent service. For the next trip in China, we will definitely contact Martha or China Tours again 👍👍👍
