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
