Tom was a Perfect Guide and made my Trip a Great expérience! Driver is also great.I visite d q lot of good places.I enjoyed BBeijing a lot

"Una experiencia inolvidable. La organización del tour fue excelente, y lo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue NUESTRA GUIA LIDIA. Siempre atenta, clara en sus explicaciones, simpática, y con una actitud cálida y muy profesional en todo momento, lo que hizo que cada lugar cobrara vida. Gracias por una experiencia tan bien gestionada y humana."

We do had three days in Beijing with Jiang. The organisation, driver and guiding was really great. We have been a group of 2 (couple). I think we would have needed nearly +30 percent more time to find the right queueing line at all the places. For us it was a hassel free and seamless enjoyment - to visit all the places and having a long hiking track at the great wall of china. thank you very much Jiang & china highlights & team. ps: we also tasted a lot of vegetarian food which was really great.

Jiang was an excellent tour guide, on time and always endeavoured to help. He helped us with requests such as buying tea. Otherwise, he was able to tell us a lot about his country and the culture. He was generally open to any questions we had. We really can recommend him as a tour guide in Beijing :)))

Tuvimos una experiencia excelente en Beijing con Alejandría como nuestra guía. Su ayuda con el idioma y su profundo conocimiento local nos permitió visitar los principales sitios turísticos de forma rápida y cómoda, como la Ciudad Prohibida y la Gran Muralla. Además, Alejandría nos tomó fotos preciosas que capturaron momentos inolvidables del viaje. El chofer fue puntual, elegante al conducir y muy amable, haciendo los traslados seguros y agradables. Recomendamos mucho este equipo para una visita cómoda, eficiente y con atención

Excelente experiencia la visita a Xi'an, nuestro guía ANTONIO fue excepcional, muy informativo, con mucho conocimiento de la historia y la ciudad, atento, muy diligente y servicial, con excelente dominio del idioma espa?ol. La ubicación del hotel muy buena.

Wundersch?ner (zu kurz) Aufenthalt mit super motiviertem Guide Jenny Yang. Besuch der Stadtmauer, grosse Wildganspagode, Terrakottaarmee, einer Theatervorstellung über die Seidenstrasse sowie zu meiner überraschung Abendessen im Chinesischem Theater. mein Fehler dabei: zu wenig Zeit für Xi‘an in der Reiseplanung berücksichtigt

Imprescindible XIAN CON LINDA MEJOR Sugiero Guerreros terracota si o si con guía si es linda mejor Pagoda del ganso si no tienen tiempo obviar Calle brillante a las 19,30 si o si mucha onda Barrio musulmán

Linda una guía excepcional en nuestra visita a xi'an, su acompa?amiento y explicaciones fueron excelentes! Muy recomendada! Gracias Linda!!

Linda nuestra guía en xi’an fue excelente, desde que llegamos nos sentimos super acompa?ados, sus explicaciones fueron excelentes. Recomendada al 100%, gracias Linda por hacernos sentir tan bien.

We had great days in Chengdu with our guide Helen. She is a nice women with knowledge about the history of Chengdu. We visited Buddha Park in Leshan and of course the amazing Pandas. We also can recommend the tea house park. It's a great experience - tasting tea and enjoying the atmosphere in this park while seating, drinking tea and watching the locals. Helen was able to answer all open questions. If you would like to buy smth special, she is doing her best to organize it for you. We can highly recommend Helen as a guide. Thank you for this wonderful days.

We were able to see the most notable areas of a very large city in s short period of time. Mr. Evan was friendly, knowledgeable and patient.

Our tour guide was Evan who was very helpful and provided us with local recommendations and was informative. Whilst in Chengdu we went to the panda base, leshan Buddha, mount Qing Chen and the Dujiangyan irrigation site all guided by Evan. During our month touring China, we found Chengdu to be one of the highlights.

All the tour guides we had arranged via Carrie at China Highlights were excellent. We had Jessica in Beijing for the Forbidden City, the hutongs, followed by Mutianyu at the Great Wall. At the last minute, we arranged to go to the summer palace and had Mary as our guide. Paul in Xi'an guided us to the terracotta warriors and was very informative. We had Evan in Chengdu for the panda base, Mount Qing Chen, the Leshan Buddha and Dujiangan irrigation site. Evan was helpful and able to adapt to our pace. He also provided us with useful recommendations for local places to eat in Chengdu. When we went to Guilin and Yangshuo, we had LiPing, who was very good. She accompanied us to the Longji rice terraces, the boat trip to Yangshuo and the cormorant fisherman photo shoot. In Suzhou, we had Juliette who accompanied us to Tongli water town, the Tongli garden and the humble administrators garden. It was a truly relaxing morning on the boat in Tongli. Our day trips were well organised and enjoyable.

This was my first trip abroad and I was not sure what to expect. Our tour guide Lele in Guilin was beyond amazing. Lele provided us with extensive knowledge about the culture and its history. Lele was very accommodating and managed our family with ease and grace. Lele took the time to engage with us each personally throughout the trip which made the tour even more meaningful. Lele was always punctual and highly organized during our trip. Simply put, Lele makes it feel as if you are touring abroad with your best friend. You almost forget that you are away from home. Thank you China Highlights for your amazing tour and thank you Lele for your highly extensive level of professionalism and grace. If you have the opportunity to take a trip with this company do not hesitate. It is worth it.

Hemos hecho un viaje fantástico en compa?ía de nuestro guía ALONSO, Nos ha hecho descubrir la esencia de la zona en un crucero sobre el río LI que nos ha llevado de Guilin a Yangsuo, nos ha mostrado todo el encanto de la zona en unos días inolvidables. ALONSO ha sido un guía excepcional en un paraje excepcional. GRACIAS

Guilin et Yangshuo ont été, sans aucun doute, nos coups de c?ur en Chine. Ce voyage a été d’autant plus mémorable grace à notre guide, Eric Li. Sa culture générale impressionnante, sa passion pour l’histoire et sa parfaite ma?trise du fran?ais ont grandement enrichi notre expérience. Toujours disponible, à l’écoute et capable de répondre à toutes nos questions avec précision, Eric a su rendre chaque visite captivante. Grace à lui, nous avons découvert bien plus que de simples paysages : une véritable immersion culturelle. Nous le recommandons chaleureusement à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir la Chine autrement, en profondeur et avec authenticité.

Ein super Programm mit der Fahrt auf dem Li-Fluss, dem Besuch der Reisfelder, der romantischen Flo?fahrt und dem Besuch des Marktes mit einem echten Tucktuck. Unser Guide Norman Wei Wei hat uns in ausgezeichnetem Deutsch die Besonderheiten dieser Landschaft und der Menschen, die hier wohnen sehr gut erkl?rt.

La partie de notre voyage à Guilin a été superbe grace à notre guide Eric. Il a été très professionnel et nous a donné beaucoup d’informations sur comment vivent les locaux. Les paysages aussi sont époustouflants. Nous avons adoré l’authenticité, le calme et le charme de Guilin et Yangshuo. Un grand merci, nous recommandons vivement Eric pour découvrir la région.

Panchenjap ( Wanqingjiebu ) It was a very good trip with our guide We spend a lot of time with him in many places In Tibet, Lhasa, We were in Patala palace, Jokhanh palace And many other places Thank him a lot

Great experience in Lhasa and Tibet Amazing cultural expirience thanks to our friendly and skilled tour guide llhadup

Lhasa era uno de mis sue?os y con la organizacion de China Highligts todo ha sido genial. El guía Yeshin ha sido lo mejor, muy resolutivo, nos ha ayudado en todo lo que hemos necesitado, además de ser muy divertido, lo hemos pasado muy bien. Si van a Lhasa este guía es perfecto. Totalmente recomendable.

Die Reise mit China Highlight Lhasa war unbeschreiblich sch?n. Vom ersten Tag bis zum Letzten Tag war alles super gut geplant. Unser Guide Lobsang war sehr informativ, unglaublich freundlich und eine so sch?ne reine Seele. Er hat sich auf alles eingestellt und flexibel auf all unsere Wünsche reagiert, das was in seinen M?glichkeiten war. Sein Wissen über Tibet und dem Buddhismus ist au?erordentlich. Eine solche Reise würde ich allen Freunden empfehlen, wenn sie einen Reiseführer wie Lobsang bekommen. Dadurch war es noch mal ein einzigartiges Erlebnis.

We went to Lhasa through China highlights and stayed there for 3 days. It was a fantastic experience. We flew to Lhasa from Shangri-La in a two-hour flight. Before arriving, our permit and passport were checked several times as we are foreigners. The permit and the arrangement were done by China Highlights. As soon as we arrived, our tour guide Marry welcomed us with white silk scarfs and handed us countless fruits and two oxygen cylinders. From our room on the sixth floor of the Snow Mountain Hotel, we had a view of snow-covered mountains. The room had an oxygen supply and a humidifier. At first, walking just a couple of steps felt like we were about to fall asleep felt so dizzy. We were gasping for breath. We didn't have the courage to do anything, just sat in a chair, looked at the mountains and snow peaks, ate fruits, and slept. If we ate something, our heart rate would shoot from 90 to 140. We managed to sleep, thanks to the oxygen. We woke up feeling refreshed. At 9 AM the next morning, we set off with Mary in that huge car. Our first stop was the Drepung Monastery. This ancient monastery, over six hundred years old, is located 12,700 feet above sea level. As a result, our hearts and legs were protesting. We had to walk two kilometers and climb 400 stair steps. The monastery, the assembly hall, thousands of thangka paintings, countless Buddhas, Mahakali, Tara – all combined in room after room. Photography inside was prohibited. Marry provided able guidance to us and explained the history. After visiting Drepung, we drove to Norbulingka, which is the Dalai Lama's summer palace. There are three palaces and temples there. First, we visited the third Dalai Lama’s palace, then the thirteenth Dalai Lama’s, and finally the fifth to seventh Dalai Lama’s palaces. After touring the summer palace, it was around 1 PM. We went to a Nepali restaurant and had an Indian thali. After a long time, we had a meal truly enjoyed. From 2 PM to 4 PM, we visited the Sera monastery. First, we watched a debate between two lamas. One lama sat while another senior lama asked questions. If the answer was correct, they clapped loudly. If it was somewhat correct, they clapped softly, and if it was wrong, they just rubbed their hands together. There were 30/40 pairs of lamas busy in debating. After the debate, we visited the monastery that didn't have much elevation change, but there were about 100 of stairs and we had to walk another two kilometers. Each monastery spanned an area of about 10 to 12 square kilometers, almost like a small town. By 4 PM, I had seen everything for the day. Next morning at 9 o’clock, we set off in a car from the hotel to visit the Potala Palace. When we arrived at the base of the Potala Palace, we saw a lot of people. Now, it was the time to show our tickets and permits. After passing through multiple security gates, we entered the palace area around 10 a.m. The climb began—400 feet up. The view of the palace atop the mountain was incomparable: some parts were red, some black, and some white. The walls, made from rose branches mixed with yak dung, coloured in red, looked like velvet. Our guide, Marry, explained that the rose branches were very strong and significantly lighter than stone. This palace is repainted every year, and to paint the upper parts, the wall is doused with paint from above. There are numerous stairs to climb, and we were panting after each few steps. Of course, this is because we're at 12,600 feet above sea level, and our stamina is limited. No more breathlessness, but now, my legs could barely keep going. Slowly, with many breaks, we made our way up. As we climbed, we saw the snow-covered peaks of mountains. We took pictures as we went up . Before I knew it, we had reached the top. Next came the inside tour. No more pictures, because photography is prohibited inside the palace. Marry, our guide, told us that there are 999 rooms in the palace, but we were allowed to see about fifty of them, and that was only with special permission. We began viewing room after room—some were Buddhist temples, others were dedicated to Mahakali or Indian guru Padmasambhava, and some had thousands of Buddha statues. Bodhisattva were very prominent here, symbolizing knowledge and devotion. What I learned about the Bodhisattva is this:"The thousand-handed Bodhisattva is a Buddhist symbol of love, capable of taking the extraordinary form of eleven heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand hands to help all who seek her aid." We also saw the Dalai Lama’s residence, the place where he would meet visitors, many murals, many tankhas, and more. People were lighting lamps, chanting "Om Mani Padme Hum," and prostrating on the ground. Tibetans offer money to the deities and Buddha. Among the offerings, I even saw a 100-rupee note from India, amid many Chinese currency notes. We saw three mandalas, made from 500 kilos of gold and countless gems, with lamas meditating in front of them. We visited the tomb of the Dalai Lamas and the golden pagoda. This palace contains 3,700 kilos of gold and a large number of precious stones and gems. The palace, which dates back to the 7th century, was rebuilt during the reign of the subsequent Dalai Lama. Initially, Dalai Lama resided in the Drepung Monastery, but later, the Potala Palace became his residence and office. At 1 p.m., we began the slow descent. Our body was giving up, but somehow, we managed to reach the bottom. We got into the car and went to the Lhasa Namaste Restaurant. After eating juice, naan, potato-cabbage, and dal makhani, I regained some strength. Next, we visited the Jokhang Temple. The Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, Tibet, was founded around 647 CE by King Songtsen Gampo to house the Jowo Rinpoche, a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha brought to Tibet by his Nepalese queen, Princess Bhrikuti. We saw Shakyamuni's temple, Bodhisattvas, Buddha, Manjushri Buddha, various Yamarajas, deities, numerous thankas, and murals. The top of the temple glistened with golden water." By 3 p.m., our tour was over. Next, we visited Barkhor Street. We explored many old shops and, after walking around, became tired. We went to a Tibetan shop to try butter tea. Tibetans mix butter, tea, and salt, stirring it for a long time before drinking it. We didn’t like it, so we switched to Tibetan milk tea, which was much better. Our Lhasa expedition came to an end. We were exhausted. Next day, we return home, back to our old life. Lhasa will remain a cherished memory in our hearts. hanks t Marry and China Hightlights for providing such a memorable trip..

We had a fun 6 days private tour to Wuxi, Yixing, Suzhou and Xitang where MI 3 was filmed. Our tour guide Brenda is very knowledgeable about Chinese history, rearranged our schedule to avoid holiday crowds, took us to local restaurant where we got to try delicious authentic local specialties, and gave us great recommendations we requested outside our tour like restaurants in Shanghai and spa for massage. And she took many pictures for us :) Highly recommend.

Abbiamo visitato la piccola Venezia della Cina con i suoi bei canali, giardini e stradine. La nostra guida Tracy è stata molto cordiale, disponibile e molto efficente nel spiegare i vari aspetti dei luoghi visitati. Il suo inglese e la pronuncia sono perfetti. La consigliamo vivamente!

Brenda showed us around Suzhou for 2 days and we had a great time! She is a proper local with lots of knowledge about the history of Suzhou, we learnt about plenty throughout the two days. Her english was excellent, and I would recommend to anyone who needs a friendly, knowledgeable guide to Suzhou. Thanks again Brenda

Today we visited Lili. We took a boat down a canal and walked back. Then visited the 6 Arts Museum and had lunch at the restaurant at the museum. This museum is not to be missed. An amazing collection of Chinese antiques. You will be amazed by this collection. We enjoyed our time with Brenda. She is so knowledgeable and eager to share information about China’s history.

Enjoyed a 1-day tour in Suzhou with our tour guide Alan. He was fluent in English and gave us many interesting tidbits about the history of various attractions as he brought us around. He catered to the needs of our group - ensuring that vegetarian food was available during lunch, allocating ample time for us to shop and explore while ensuring that we were on time for our high speed rail back to Shanghai. Thanks to his effective planning and communication with the driver/rickshaw riders, the tour proceeded smoothly. The itinerary was relaxed, but we got to see a bit of everything - Panmen was scenic and not crowded, Master of Nets garden was small but beautiful, the rickshaw riders were skillful in navigating the traffic, Pingjiang Road was bustling with activity and a great place for phototaking with canals. Our one night stay at Artyzen Habitat Hotel was comfortable, gym was clean and spacious, the hotel breakfast had a good selection of food. Thank you to our travel advisor Coco for planning the trip as well.

Great days in Shangai with Lucí, a very kind and profesional tour Guide She has traveled a lot and she is very fluently in Spanish and English

The visit of Shanghai is wonderful with our guide Brigitte! Expect another voyage to China and hope everything is good and lucky!

Notre 4 eme étape de notre circuit en Chine . Notre guide Sophie wang a été juste incroyable elle a fait que notre séjour à Shanghai a été vraiment top . Elle nous a fait découvrir vraiment avec le coeur et surtout sa bonne humeur cette belle ville remplie d histoire bravo. Noire guide Sophie nous a également fait découvrir les spécialités culinaire de la région si c est un guide que vous devait avoir à Shanghai c est Sophie bravo et surtout merci pour nous avoir fait partager ces bons moments on recommande vraiment

My friends and I spent two wonderful days in Shanghai and around. The tour was organized by Stella. Our guide, Winnie, made both tours unforgettable. She was knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and had a great sense of humor. Even the lunches were delicious—authentic but not too spicy. Thank you to the tour company for such perfect holidays

We had a fantastic one-day guided tour of Shanghai with our guide, Qi, from China Highlights! Qi's so knowledgeable, open, and warm, and we loved exploring those crazy busy Shanghai streets with her. Mirjana & Vladimir.

I and my wife spent two gorgeous days inside the Zhangjiajie National Park. Our guide Abbie and the travel company China Highlights were able to organize a wonderful experience. No queue at all, we were able to spend all our time looking the amazing picks, making pictures, listening all the stories about different pick names that Abbie told us, walking in the beautiful nature and along the river. The visit to the park took more than 5 hours a day and we walked for more than 10 km. At the end of the daily activities we had very good lunch. The guide was able to provide us walking sticks, rain jackets, sneaks and fruit overcoming our little problems, making our experience even more pleasant.

China Highlights sent Lee (Li) to be our tour guide in Zhangjiajie. She is a wonderful, cheerful and resourceful guide. We had awesome adventures in Zhangjiajie thanks to Lee, who gave us the VIP experience. Thank you, Li, for a memorable time in Zhangjiajie.

Zhangjajie is really a unique place: we spent a couple of days to visit the park and the other natural wonders, and it's beautiful beyond imagination. Our guide, Abbie, has been really amazing: she is knowledgeable and efficient and thanks to her our experience was perfect and memorable.

Our guide, Ms. Bree was outstanding and very knowledgeable and accommodating in all aspects of what we wants and needs in this fantastic journey throughout seeing the amazing wonder, China. Aside, China has a deep history and cultural heritage we enjoyed much; our 6 days with Ms. Bree was something I didn’t expect, 3 days in Fenghuang and the next 3 days in Zhangjiajie were very memorable and something to reminisce about in the future. The Tianmen Mountain and cave including the Glass Walkway and the cable car going up the mountain were just amazing! Next, the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park where the “Avatar and Pandora” were seen there in our dreams is another wonder of the world; going up on the, I think, 326 meters vertical Bailong Sightseeing Elevator in 1.5 minutes, presenting the views of the towers pinnacles all over the horizon were remarkable to behold; and the wonderful Hallelujah Mountain standing into heaven! The Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon with the long connecting Glass Bridge, the zip line…. was another excellent place to explore.

Zhangjiajie was one of the highlights of our two weeks China tour and Cindy made it even better. She is very professional and very knowledgeable. Everything was organized so well: daily schedule, cars, driver, restaurants. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend China Highlights and Cindy.

Our tour guide cum driver for Kunming, is Jack Lee. He took good care of us, especially when there is any descending or ascending hike during the trip. He gave excellent suggestion for dinner and even show us the authentic way to eat the food. We had a fantastic 6 days in Dali area. Our guide, 王立婷, is from the Bai ethnic group. She is very knowledgeable in the custom and history of Yunnan as well as the different Ethnic group of the area. We learn a lot of interesting things from her. If I were to go to Dali again, I will definitely look for her. The last stretch of our trip, is 3 days in Lijiang with our guide , 和绍春. He is from the Naxi Ethnic group. He shared with us his knowledge of his people and also how to handle high altitiude. Luckily for us, we had him to look out for us as some of us were unwell during and after the ascent of Yulong snow mountain. Last but not least, our driver, 卞师傅，spent 9 days with us and is a safe driver and a friendly person.

Thanks to Camillia Jiang from China Highlights who created our itinerary we had a wonderful holiday in Lijiang and Kunming. Our guides in Lijiang Alice and Lulu in kunming were wonderful in taking care of our needs from the word go and made our holidays so much better.

Our group of 8 had an amazing time in Yunnan with China Highlights!We’re on 9D8N tour in Shangrila, Lijiang, Dali and Kunming. Special thanks to Liberman (key coordinator) for his patience in meeting our many requests and changes, I’m really impressed with his good English competency, prompt responses and follow-up. We were blessed with great weather, sunshine when we visit Pudacuo and Songzhanlin, Hotel Indigo is an excellent choice for hotel stay in Shangrila. We were able to ascend Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang too, it was snowing slightly and the mountain was covered by thick white snow, making our experience a very special one. Thumbs up to Lijiang guide Jack, he’s one of the few guides who would hike up the mountain side by side with guests. Our special thanks goes to our guides - James (Shangrila), Jack (Lijiang), Alice (Dali), Lydia and May (Kunming). They have worked very hard to ensure our Yunnan experience is an amazing one with beautiful scenery, delicious food, great shopping! I will definitely travel with China Highlights again andwill highly recommend them to my friends.

All our guides are local people, which is a great advantage for their local knowledge. Be it local history, customs, food and shopping tips. This trip started in Kunming which is a mile high city and ascended higher and higher. Those who are not familiar with high altitude will be better off listening carefully to their advices. Special shout out to Scarlett, our guide in Dali who went out of her way to take care of us even after we moved on to another city.. She had very good burgers delivered to our hotel when we did not want to venture out for dinner.

China Highlights organised 11 days trip to China-Yunan was amazing. Our trip to Dali with Daisy was excellent. She is knowledgeable and helps us took lots of photo.

Amazing views, restaurants and experiences - Dali is worth a travel and Daisy got yiu covered! Tailored schedules, authentic discoveries and cultural deep-dives. Daisy will be your go-to guide in Dali - highly recommendable!

We had an amazing experience with Daisy as our tour guide. She was absolutely fantastic—friendly, positive, and incredibly attentive to our needs. From the start, she quickly understood what we as a family enjoyed, and tailored the trip perfectly. We loved the beautiful bike ride, the relaxing strolls through the old town, and especially the unforgettable tie-dye experience with a local family. She connected wonderfully with our children and made sure every detail was just right. The hotel she chose for us was also beautiful—truly a 5-star experience. Thank you so much, Daisy! We’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

We did not know what to expect as this was as our first trip to China - we are into the outdoors so we picked Yunnan as a destination, as it was knownfor its scenic beauty. We had heard about China’s progress in the past 30 years, but that did not prepare us for the amazing infrastructure, the excellence of telecommunications what is essentially a remote part of China- Imagine perfectly paved mountain roads with not a single pothole and 5G signal even in the most unlikely of places - mountain tops, deep gorges etc . The tour destinations and highlights were amazing. Just when we thought we had reached the height of our tour the next day gave us more jaw dropping sights. We have traveled a lot all over the globe, but we must say this trip gave us the biggest bang for the buck in our experience Our tour organizer, China Highlights was great. - ours was a private tour, just the two of us - the car was comfortable and everything ran like clockwork. Every tour guide we had on each part of our tour deserve special mention: May from Kunming, Scarlett from Dali, Eleanor from Lijiang and Anna from Shangri-La displayed passion, knowledge and dedication to their role. They were motivated good natured, humorous, and anticipated our every need. They were always concerned about our comfort and satisfaction. Our Driver Mr. Wang who drove us from Dali to Shangri-La, was safe and steady. Given the wonderful service that we received from these individuals and from China Highlights, we are already planning our next trip to China within the next few months. China, we love you and wish we had discovered you sooner!

We booked a 9-day tour of Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Shangri-la with China Highlights in late March with Leeky. We are very well taken care of by our guides: Lulu in Kunming, Scarlett in Dali, Martin in Lijiang, and Betsy in Shangri-la. All our guides are local people, which is a great advantage for their local knowledge. Be it local history, customs, food and shopping tips. This trip started in Kunming which is a mile high city and ascended higher and higher. Those who are not familiar with high altitude will be better off listening carefully to their advices. Special shout out to Scarlett, our guide in Dali who went out of her way to take care of us even after we moved on to another city.. She had very good burgers delivered to our hotel when we did not want to venture out for dinner. Hotels selected by China Highlights are all fine. Breakfasts at the hotels are all good, especially if you like Chinese breakfast. We think veggies and chicken meat are much tastier than back home. Late March could be colder than forecast at times. While we were there, most flower blooms were pinkish. Cherry blossoms are at their peak together with crabapples. At Kunming Botanical Garden, there are more flower varieties to see. It’s off the beaten track however, accessible using the Didi app. It’s not crowded and it is very pleasant to walk there. Allow 2 hours for walking around.

China Highlights had arranged everything very perfect and I travelled by train , airline and car. Especially the guide Luna had done everything that I had a smooth travel,the car allways picked up in time, we visited all booked places, tours etc. I will probably book again with China Highlights the next trip to Yunnan, Sichuan or Tibet and hope that guide like Luna will make the travel so easy

The guides were all very good - professional, good local knowledge and language skills, and were all passionate about their work and seemed genuinely happy to be able to share details of their cities and cultures with us - special mention to Luna in Kunming, Jessica in Dali, Jack in Lijiang and Peter in tiger leaping gorge/Shangri-La - thanks to all of them for making our trip a great one!

Our family had an amazing and truly memorable 6-day journey through Yunnan, thanks to our fantastic guide Doyle and our driver Jack Li. Both Doyle and Jack were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive to all of our needs. Doyle 程impressed us with his exceptional understanding of the history and culture of every place we visited — from Kunming to Jianshui and the stunning Yuanyang rice terraces. His passion and storytelling really brought each destination to life. Jack Li was not only an excellent and safe driver, but also thoughtful and patient, making every journey smooth and comfortable. We would also like to thank Leah Zhou for helping to organise the trip so smoothly. Everything was very well arranged, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience. We feel very lucky to have had Doyle, Jack, and Leah supporting our adventure — they made our trip truly special. We would highly recommend them to anyone planning a visit to Yunnan!

Our driver cum guide, Jack Lee at Kunming is knowledgeable and took great care in ensuring our safety during the whole trip. He also makes very good food recommendations to try out and assists us to take excellent photos. 王立婷, our guide for Dali is also very knowledgeable and shares a lot of interesting information about the Bai minority culture with us. She even bought us delicious strawberries which is in season. 和绍春, our guide for Lijiang provides us with good advice on how to deal with the high altitude in the mountains. Special mention to our driver 卞师傅 who ensure we had a safe and comfortable journey. Will definitely recommend China Highlights to anyone travelling to Yunnan.

Our guide was April. She was exceptional. She shared so much knowledge about herbs..nature..and Chinese traditional medicine. She has a great respect for nature and has great knowledge about the region. We visited the ancient city of Hongcun and then went up the yellow mountain. The home of the inspiration behind Chinese mountain landscapes. What a magical journey we had!

Our guided trip with China Highlights to HuangShan and the Yellow Mountains was just outstanding and memorable. April Yao is a radiant person who took care of us like a cousine, passionately guided us in the Chinese and local culture, always answered our curiosity and smoothly adapted the journey to our wishes. Thanks to our driver, Mr John, who was caring and cheerful too. These 3 days couldn’t have been better, we didn’t visited China, we just lived it !

Had the best time visiting Hongcun village, Yellow Mountains and Tunxi village! Tony was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. I felt safe and well taken care of as a solo female traveler with not knowing any Chinese.

We had a great time. April with China Highlights is an amazing guide! She has a lot of energy and is very passionate about making sure you have a great experience.

We were pleased to have Tony leading us the mountain tour of Huangshan and Qiyun mountain. He is knowledgeable, experienced and have good mannerisms. We enjoyed the cultural and historical stories he shared, and he could communicate bilingually while we could practice our Mandarin too. Flying in from the US, this private tour eased us into the tourist visit of China. We liked the Tunxi Ancient Street evening walks too, we enjoyed the shops of traditional arts and crafts, teas, candies, and even a centuries-old TCM pharmacy still in operation. Hongcun Village was interesting. Unfortunately, our tour coincided partly with the Ching Ming public holiday in China, there were many local tourists and foreign semi-retired folks like us should try to avoid such dates as possible. For overseas Chinese and foreigners, we recommend Tony as he can share more if one is interested in Chinese history especially local history and culture as well.

We had an amazing trip to Shanghai, Suzhou ang Hangzhou. China highlights organised the whole trip very well. Special thanks to Sophie who planned the trip for us. Derek, our tour guide in Hangzhou was a gem. He was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He spoke very good English. We had a great time thanks to Derek who took care of all our needs.

We had the pleasure of touring with our guide who calls himself Eleven. He is engaging and energetic.. highly recommend

I did experienced two days of travel in Hangzhou with my parents and we had Susan as guide. She was really caring and helpful and we had a very easy communication. we could visit amazing places there. I would really suggest anyone to go. Thanks Susan for the patient and the good vibes !

Our family had a wonderful time in Hangzhou touring the West Lake, the tea plantations and Hefang Street. Derek was a terrific tour guide with excellent recommendations for restaurants and very helpful. We would highly recommend!!
