I had a great time in Beijing! The tour was well organized, Violet was a great tour guide! She was always on time, she speaks English very well and she told me a lot of informations about the sights. The booking process on WeChat was very easy - the agency is very flexible which was just perfect for me. I would definitely recommend the travel agency and the tour! Violet, thank you very much for everything and hope to see you again next time when I‘m in Beijing! :)

Buddhism is one of the mainstream religions in China. Different from the Buddhist temple or mountains in other cities of China, Nanshan Buddhism Culture Park in Sanya is of more fresh looking where people could enjoy both the attractions of Buddhist culture and natural scenery. The 108 meters tall statue of Guanyin Pusa (the Goddess of Mercy) and clear sea will impress you very much.

We are a group of Ex-pats who have been in Shanghai an average of 7 years. We can honestly share that this experience will be one of the high lights of our time here. It is one thing to view the Bund from either side looking over to the other. It exceeds your expectations to see it from the middle of the river. Alana was an outstanding host from start to finish. She checked in during the entire process making sure we had what we needed and even thought of extra ways to make this celebration better. The Champaign was Moet and the View was priceless. Thank you again for making our time in your beautiful city even more memorable. Cheers!!!!!

Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, is a city you never want to leave once you arrive. Reputed as a very “laid-back” city, it is so large and diverse abounding with options. You could visit the giant pandas, and support the efforts towards ensuring the survival of Chengdu iconic but endangered species. Or, you could take in other historic legacies, like Jinli Old Street, Wenshu Temple, Three Kingdoms-era Wuhou Temple, the more recent Ming-Qing neighborhoods of the Kuan-Zhai Alley, or the ancient and still-operational Dujiangyan Irrigation System.

Inclusions: Professional guide, Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Lunch, Entrance Fee

It is a must see. It requires walking and to be able to climb stairs. It is wonderful as the weather is also cooler this time of year. The Ming Tombs were also pretty awesome.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. The size of the exhibition is mind blowing. But with our very knowledgeable and wonderful guide Lin, it was a perfect way for us to experience this wonderful historical site. She made it very easy for us to get around, understand all the detail and background and really enjoy it to the fullest. Also the after the tour following lunch was very entertaining and delicious.

If you are looking to have an incredible trip ask for Wu Cheng. He is very professional and give his 100% to help you in anything you need. He was all the time nice and very flexible with the time and the places you want to visit. I strongly recommend this tour and to him. About the Buddah, please consider weather conditions and the fact that you have to go downstairs and upstairs. It worth it, but will require some physic condition to get it.

We met our guide Micheal at the metro, near a local food market in the morning. He was so friendly and informative, we learned a lot about food in the Shaanxi region, picked up some crazy cheap walnuts and various other bits to cook with. The class itself was great, we were cooking in a local restaurant, both my mother and I kneaded the noodle dough and hand pulled out noodles, eventually leading to a giant bowl of noodles for each person. My mum is veggie and the cooking class accommodated for that. Really enjoyed my time and would highly recommend as a way to explore real chinese culture.

This is a private tour priced by group,300 USD per group not per adult. Wulong Karst Geographic National Park was the second tour attraction inscribed on World Heritage List by UNESCO in Chongqing, the first one is Dazu Rock Carvings which mostly dedicates the cultural and historic side of Chongqing. This National park pretty much represents the natural side of this enormous city in western China. After Transformer IV was filmed in here, it's now becoming a super hot spot and the very first must go site in Chongqing. We focus on private tour service, make our clients travel like a local. Besides, you also need a friendly and sophisticated guide and a safe driver to do critical help, a driver-guide who knows both Chinese culture and how to do a safe, joyful and professional guiding job will be your choice.

Inclusions: Private transportation, My personal private guiding service, Bottled water, Hotel pick up and drop off, An brunch around 1030 am in highway rest area for better timing.

Exclusions: All admission fare unless specified.

His knowledge about the attractions is very broad and professional, 200% recommended!
