My reviews for Hangzhou and Beijing with China Highlights:
![]() Hangzhou with Susan We wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible tour experience provided by our tour guide, Ms Susan Yang Jing Wen during our recent visit to Hangzhou. Her expertise, patience, and passion for the city truly made our trip unforgettable. Her warm and welcoming demeanor put us at ease. Her deep knowledge of Hangzhou’s history, culture, and landmarks was nothing short of impressive. Whether it was the enchanting beauty of West Lake, the spiritual serenity of Lingyin Temple, her storytelling made each destination even more special. What stood out most was her patience and attentiveness. She took the time to answer all our questions, accommodate our pace, and ensure we felt comfortable throughout the tour. Her dedication to providing a personalized and memorable experience did not go unnoticed. Hangzhou is a city of endless wonders, and thanks to Susan, we were able to appreciate its beauty and history in a way we never could have on our own. If we are fortunate enough to visit Hangzhou again, we will undoubtedly seek her out as our guide. Beijing with Jiang We had an incredible experience on my tour of Beijing, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Jiang. From the start, he was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our group was comfortable and informed. He patiently answered all our questions, no matter how many we had, and his knowledge of Beijing’s rich history and culture was absolutely impressive. Not only was Jiang well-versed in the city’s historical landmarks, but he also offered fantastic food recommendations that allowed us to dive deeper into Beijing’s culinary culture. His suggestions were spot-on, and we got to taste some of the best local dishes! His friendly demeanor and thorough understanding of the city made the entire experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and thoughtful guide, Jiang is the perfect choice more

Ask for Helen in Chengdu
![]() We were in Chengdu for a good time, not a long time, and our guide Helen made sure of it. She is super interesting and fun and intuitive, and takes incredibly good care of her group at every level: I don’t think there is anything she can’t or won’t do for you. Travelling with multiple generations can be tricky, but Helen caught on to our dynamic right away and kept everyone happy and tuned-in, from the panda experience to chilling in the park. Such a fantastic experience all-around. more

Hangzhou with Derek from China Highlights
![]() Hangzhou is a beautiful city. Our guide was Derek from China Highlights, who is a very smart and well educated person. He knows a lot not only about history but also all kind of subjects. Derek is also very very very kind, and patience. We changed a little our itinerary because we wanted to know other things, and he completely understood what we wanted. Thank you Derek!! more
