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! :)

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.

If your travels include the city of Tianjin, and you only have 1-day, this flexible tour was worth it! My excellent tour guide Echo spent the day showing and explaining to me the various historical and cultural sites of Tianjin. The many highlights comprised of a view from the top of the TV Tower, visiting the Yangliu Qing Painting Museum and making a DIY print to take home, seeing and briefly exploring the Five Great Avenues, lunching at a local restaurant, admiring the porcelain house and visiting the home of the last Emperor Puyi. Echo and our driver were on time, Echo was very personable and the excursion made my last day in Tianjin very productive, educational and enjoyable!

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.

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.

This is a highly recommended tour from south central China. It covers the amazing red soil slopes to the north of Kunming. It is an easy 3-hour drive to the area. Expect to see the red soils of the area with the what the farmers provide with crops. Green in the early season, reds and browns as they grow and are harvested. Peak is early spring and late summer, but high summer can be good too. Guides and driver are part of the package. Guide really knew the area. Expect sunset and sunrise locations - and hope for the right conditions from nature. A great way to spend two days.
