China Highlights Tour Reviews

In fact the professional guides took the extra mile by even staying with us after hours, having dinner and even guiding us at nights. Special Thanks to the following guides: Ms Lee in Zhangjiajie and Mr William in Guilin. I felt that you loved your job I would definitely use China Highlights for my next Asia Trip.

When we inquired about traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture he told us all about it. Mark asked if he should find a place, and at our request after releasing the driver, he helped us visit a small clinic. When we inquired about a massage place on the way to the car, we saw a sign for Blind massage and asked about it. Mark inquired about it for us and we ended up getting 1 hr full body massages for ¥70 ($10.88) each by highly talented blind therapists.

From the beginning, Chasen was very easy to talk with and wanted to make sure we would be able to cover all the sights that we were scheduled for the day despite our late arrival. He was very flexible and paid close attention with the driver and us to work everything around to accommodate the time frame we had. Upon arrival at our lodging in Yangshuo, the clouds were threatening with thunderstorms for the afternoon and Chasen had decided to perhaps cancel the bamboo raft ride we were scheduled for. He was flexible to accommodate us by sacrificing the time to meet us during the next morning at 9:30a.m. (the morning was scheduled to be our own free time) and head out for the 40 minute bamboo raft ride down the Yu River.

Henry was an excellent guide. He always made sure to keep us hydrated with bottles of water waiting for us. He made sure that we had the most amazing time while we were there. He went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. He was sure to give us a taste of the local cuisine by taking us to a nearby restaurant to get rice noodles and giving us a taste of real Chinese sweets. He speaks English extremely well and was very professional. We loved that he took us to a local market so we could see where the locals bought all of their food.

This is our second visit to Guilin/ Yangshuo / rice terraces. Last time also with China Highlights., and the 5th time we have used them for trips to China. Always professional, always happy to find out, and offer exactly what you want. We have always had 5 star service, even when things, went wrong or had to be changed at short notice.

Before entering the Great Mosque, Jacob walked us through the busy Muslim Quarter. It was a great experience to walk through several blocks of this very busy shopping area where there are tons of shopkeeper stalls located right on the street selling fresh made food on the most part. It was such a colorful area bustling with a mixture of locals at work alongside the many tourists such as us. There was never pressure to shop or purchase anything, a promise that China Highlights offers.

My guide Sunny was fabulous. She was on top of everything with meeting me at the airport, was very reachable by text during the evenings, and went out of her way to make things smooth for me. When my ATM card had troubles at one point, she took money out for me; she let me use her WiFI data because I didn't have a cell plan and tracked down an extra air mask for me when mine broke. 

Helen was really great. Her English is really good. She’s very knowledgeable and knows where to take you to avoid the crowds. She was also very flexible in changing the order of our itinerary and adding something else in (Hot Springs Winter Palace). We loved our trip to Xi’an. Everything was great but we especially liked the bike ride atop the old city wall and the trip to the Terra Cotta army.

He was a huge help checking into the hotel and really flexible with our itinerary for the next day. It was super warm in Xi’an and we asked to arrange the day’s schedule to do the outdoor portions of the tour before it got too hot. Yuan did a great explaining Xi'an's imperial past as well as highlighting it's bright, green future.
