The trip was perfect in every way. We travelled for a month through many cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Yichang, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong...), also taking a cruise on the Yangtze River. A tailor-made trip with many organisational difficulties, but which were perfectly planned by Denny Tian and the entire team at The China Guide. They adapted to our needs and expectations from the beginning. Both guides and drivers were exceptional, and the hotels booked were far above their category in Europe. The work of The China Guide was spectacular and thanks to them we were able to enjoy a unique experience that we recommend to everyone, also with a magnificent quality-price ratio. The China Guide is one of the best travel agencies there is, 100% recommended. 10 out of 10.

We would like to thank Denny Tian for organising this wonderful trip from the first step I took into China till the last day. Secondly, we would like to thank the following guide tours of each respective city we visited, (Dina, Lili, Wei, Yang, Alex, Ryan, Samantha), for their exceptional tour guide where they provided knowledge and recommendations. The drivers were also outstanding where they were always on point in time and always being flexible depending on certain situations.
We would highly recommend to use The China Guide to tailor your visits to China. 10/10.

We just finished a 17 day private tour with The China Guide. They were very helpful and patient putting together our itinerary so we could see all the sites we wanted. Any questions we had were answered promptly. We travelled by bullet trains and planes with a local guide and driver in each location who was able to tell us all about the history, brought us to delicious local restaurants for lunch so we could try the local dishes in each region and spoke good English to help us with any questions, issues we had. The whole trip went very smoothly and we appreciated the hassel free pickups and drops off at all the train stations and airports. We saw Beijing, Datong, Pingyao, Xian, Luoyang Xian, Shanghai, Suzhou, Zhangjiajie and loved them all. The China Guide was great to work with, and it took all the stress out of planning a trip like this. Hope to go back soon.

We usually travel alone but we highly recommend this tour because it will save you a lot of time and organizing , it can be organize according to your personal wishes and the personal attitude and information from the local guide is priceless.
We decided to travel the last two weeks of March and it turned out to be a very good decision, because the weather was warm and nice, and it's just before the top season start so it wasn't crowded. And we see the blossoming of the trees.
We spend 2 wonderful weeks in China with different local guides in every city and we had a great experience. We spend 3 full days in Beijing, one in Luoyang, tow in Xi'an, five in Zhangjiajie including Fenghuang Ancient Town and Furong Old Village, and 3 days in Shanghai. It was very well planed logistic by car, plane and high-speed train .
The guides gives us a lot of information not only about the different cities but also everything about Chinese people, way of live , culture, food, souvenirs and so on.
The program was very flexible so we can change it according to the weather condition or to the logistic and that was great. They also give some suggestions about the free time and it was a great experience.

In this company coordinator Deny organized a tour with remarkable logistics.
The tour lasted more than 2 weeks in several cities: Beijing, Xian, Zhangjiajie y Shanghai. They took care of all flight and domestic train reservations as well as guides (Spanish and English speaking) and local drivers in each city, also booking a hotel. Everything perfectly organized without any mistake.
Do not hesitate: The China Guide is your best choice!!

First off, I would like to thank Denny Tian for organizing this wonderful trip from the first step I took into China till the last day. Secondly, I would like to thank the following guide tours of each respective city I visited (Candy, Ellen, Katy, Vero) for their exceptional tour guide where they provided knowledge and recommendations. Lastly, the drivers were also outstanding where they were always on point in time and always being flexible depending on certain situations.
I would highly recommend to use The China Guide to tailor your visits to China.
If in the future I visit China again, I will non-hesitantly use this agency!

I found the China Guide through google and was not disappointed at all. Liang Jing helped to customize the Beijing 2 day private tour for us going to the Forbidden Palace and the city area, Bird Nest and the Great Wall of China. Our english speaking guide Cathy took great care of my elderly parents while the rest of us scaled the Great Wall. It was a great experience. We enjoyed the trip very much.

All the tour with The China Guide was great. Before traveling, the Travel Specialist Manager (Denny) helped me with all the doubts I had and orginazied all the itinerary according to my intentions. Once in China, the tour guides (Ashley in Zhangjiajie and Arthur in Guilin) were so professional, funny and kind. An unforgettable experience!!

We had two tours one in Beijing and second in Chengdu. During planning Denny was very helpful and tailored our trip according to our wishes. Our guide in Beijing was Cathy we went with her to see the great wall and water town the trip was very beautiful. And in Chengdu our guide was Carrie, we went to see pandas with her it was very nice Carrie is friendly has a lot of recommendations for us and lots of information about pandas. We liked her very much. I would 100% recommend The China guide to tailor everyone’s tours:).

Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are commonly accepted in larger cities in China. Because Wuzhou is a smaller city, however, some establishments may not accept foreign credit cards, so it would be safer to use cash. Most ATMs in China accept foreign debit cards, so you can easily withdraw local currency from your international account.

Hola una consulta: la empresa "the china guide" envía algún tipo de contrato o voucher por correo, una vez que uno pagó la reserva? se que así lo hacen las empresas por las que uno contrata hoteles.
Me da mucho miedo no tener ninguna constancia en mi poder, mas que unos intercambios de mails.
