China Travel Reviews 56

I had such a great day with Lee! He was my guide for the Panda Base tour in Chengdu and made the whole experience even more special. Super friendly, funny, and full of interesting stories about the pandas and local life. He also helped me take some amazing photos and gave great tips for places to eat afterward.
If you’re visiting Chengdu, definitely ask for Lee — he’s one of those guides who truly loves what he does and makes you feel like you’re exploring with a friend.

We had a great experience using the services of China Highlights during our recent holiday. Annie organised all our train tickets and kept us up to date with all the arrangements. Despite it being Golden Week, a very busy national holiday period, she managed to secure us tickets for all the journeys we wanted to take. She also organised a day trip from Datong for us with a wonderful and knowledgeable guide, Rita. I would definitely recommend China Highlights to others.

We had a wonderful tour in Chengdu with our guide Eric. He did provide us a exellent service. He knew everything about Chengdu, the Panda Breeding Base and every question we had. He speaks perfect english and is a great person with a warm kind. Thank you very much. Mr Ren, the driver was great as well.

Our holiday was well planned and smooth. China Highlights delivered splendidly for us. The guides and drivers were all very polite, helpful and assuring. We enjoyed our holiday with a strong peace of mind, knowing that we were in good hands.

Our family of four adults recently returned from a fantastic 7-day private tour of the Hunan province in China, organized by China Highlights Travel and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.

From the very beginning, our travel consultant Vanessa demonstrated excellent communication skills. She listened carefully to our preferences regarding hotel standards and the specific sights we wanted to include. Vanessa created a thoughtful and seamless itinerary that included breathtaking locations such as Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and the stunning ancient towns of Furong and Fenghuang. Every detail was handled professionally and efficiently, which gave us complete peace of mind.

Our private tour began with an airport pickup and continued flawlessly for the next seven days. We traveled in a spacious, comfortable high-top van with Mr. Wu, our driver, who was not only skilled but also exceptionally safe and reliable.

The true highlight of our trip, however, was our tour guide, David. David was simply outstanding in every way. He was deeply knowledgeable about Chinese history, local culture, and folklore, and he enriched our experience with stories and insights at every destination. His command of English was flawless, and he was incredibly accommodating, always willing to adjust plans to suit our interests or pace.

David consistently went above and beyond what was expected to ensure that our family had a truly unforgettable vacation. His passion for his work and genuine care for our comfort and enjoyment were evident in everything he did. Thanks to him, we not only saw the sights but truly experienced the culture and spirit of Hunan.

We highly recommend David, Mr. Wu and Vanessa at China Highlights to anyone planning a trip to China. This was a beautifully organized and personally meaningful journey that exceeded all our expectations.

Was a great experience, with a committed and friendly guide! We did so many fun things!

Libby is a very professional guide, kind, patient and available. Her knowledge of local history and culture is very wide. Her English is very proficient! Moreover, she is a really pleasant person to speak to. The visit of Leshan Buddha was astonishing. We would recommend Libby to anyone travelling in Chengdu Area

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.

Eric our guide made our experience fantastic. He’s kind, prepared and caring about all our needs.

Eric speaks a perfect English, and he’s deeply preparate about visiting sites, curiosities, history; he added great value to our holyday!!!

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.
