What an amazing experience. Jiang our guide blew us away with his passion for and knowledge of his country. He made our Beijing visit a memorable experience. He ensured that our daily activities were personalised and seamless. He was very pro-active and flexible, and applied a personal touch, often sharing personal stories and finer details.

In Beijing for 3 days. Laura is our private tour guide. She is amazing and very detailed oriented. She is also knowledgeable and always able to answers all our questions. Everything is taken care of by her from the moment we step into Beijing. Totally worry free. This is a amazing trip . She had also arranged a surprise for us once we know we came to China for our honeymoon, she arranged my wife to have traditional costume fitted so that we can have a memorable time at summer palace and greatwall. The pictures turned out amazing, and she helped us take so many great shots. At the end of the trip, she even surprised us with a small token gift, which was unexpected and very touching and sweet. Thank you for your warmth and sincerity, it's clear that she loves her job. Highly recommended to book with China Highlights. The entire process was great, and the staff is very responsive, very warm, very kind and helpful.

great time in Beijing ! Our guide Ethan was amazing . Our flight arrived late at night and as soon as we got our bags we saw his smiling face . He always had great ideas of places to go and extra things to do at night. He even organized a celibration for our wedding aniversary on the great wall of China, imagine coming to the top of the wall and finding flowers,wine & and a banner saying ``Happy Aniversary`` truely a once in a lifetime event . thank you Ethan & China highlights

We had a great few days in Beijjng. Our guide Mark and our driver took very good care of us and were quite informative. We would recommend them and this tour company

I had an incredible experience touring the Forbidden City and the Great Wall with Linda as my guide. She was not only extremely knowledgeable about the history and details of each site but also made the entire experience feel personal and engaging. Her friendly and approachable nature made it feel like I was exploring with a friend rather than just following a guide. Linda’s passion for sharing China’s rich history was evident, and she went above and beyond to ensure the tour was both informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for an unforgettable and well-organized tour!

Ken is an excellent guide to Xi'an for China Highlights. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the sites he took us to (Terracotta Army, wild goose pagoda, Xi'an museum, the mosque) and he achieves a good balance of being there to help you and giving you some space to explore for yourself.

Our tour guide was a lady with a lot of insightful historic information. Mervin, her name, was an Education major. She solved all our inquiries and doubts. She even payed for me when i forgot my wallet. Very attentive to our needs -ie I cannot stand loud noises so she always chose quiet spots in the restaurants. Last but not least she was kind and very patient. You just enjoy the travelling because everything is taken care by them!! Absolutely perfect!!

Our trip to Xi’an was amazing! Jenny was a fantastic guide helping us explore the Terracotta Warriors, the city wall and other area of this amazing place! Thanks to Jenny for making our trip so memorable!

We sort of travelled back in time to the city of Xi’an with our friendly tour guide, Jerry. He is a very dedicated person and took good care of us during our wonderful time in Xi’an. It was such a memorable trip!

Great guide Helen of Chengdu. She is VERY kind, VERY attentive, resolved every kind of problems, without asking her she already knew our needs or requirements. SUPER HELEN OF CHENGDU. She is a great professional, not only a tour guide, she is a very attentive person. Top A1.

We have had a great couple of days based in Chengdu with Evan from China Highlights. We have been well looked after, being collected and dropped off at the rail station and airport.Evan was very knowledgeable at each site but was fantastic at getting us to the best panda enclosures or the best positions to see the Buddhas. He was very flexible in arranging activities and took us to some great restaurants. We found the weather in March to be just right, mild and dry, slightly overcast cloud, so very comfortable and great light for pictures.

First time to Chengdu, greet by a lovely and friendly tour guide 谢菲菲。 The sightseeings are interesting and also 菲菲bought us try many local food and places such as 春熙路，IFS too. We are very satisfied the services of the driver

"Chengdu is another beautiful place that you should visit. Although it was a short visit, I want to thank Helen from Chengdu for sharing her knowledge and I can't wait for my next trip with my family

Chengdu is another beauty place that you should visit. Although it’s my short visit but many thanks to Helen from Chengdu for her to share on her knowledge, felt really comfortable with her. I already can’t wait for my next trip to Chengdu to see the cute Panda!

I’ve never imagined Guilin being this beautiful and breathtaking. Especially the cruising the Li River is definitely one of the core memories for me. Thank you China Highlights and Tour guide Chase for making this happened.

in Guilin, we were assigned with our tour guide, Lele who was absolutely fantastic. Lele was knowledgeable, helpful and patient. Lele ensured we were always comfortable and well taken care of, all the time. My time in Guilin was wonderful and magical, thanks to Lele.I truly recommend Lele for his efforts.

From the moment I booked this tour, until the day I arrived in Guilin, this company took full responsibility and communicated very well. The train tickets and the tour guide & driver are top notch. This tour guided by Lily , the best tour guide ever, she has many other talented skills like speaks great English, Chinese traditional painting and knows her Chinese history very well. She took care of everything and always asks whether like or dislike of many things, like food choices and whether walking or car ride. The scenery we visited were breathtaking, surrounded by water and mountains. This tour company needs to give Lily a pay raise, she took her job very seriously. I highly recommend this tour to anyone, young or old.

Our experience in Guilin and Yangshuo was amazing. Guilin is a dream city. The boat trip is highly recommended, the scenery, the friendliness of the people. Our guide William not only made sure we enjoyed the scenery but accompanied us to a culinary experience in the countryside that we will remember forever. A sidecar ride through the countryside is a unique experience. Thank you William for your warmth and support.

China highlights helped ensure that the logistics of the trip went smoothly. My local guide Dickey did a fantastic job as well. She adjusted my itinerary on the fly, provided helpful local suggestions, and shared a ton of knowledge.

Once in a lifetime Lhasa und Tibet besichtigen! Unsere Führerin Tseyang war spitze. Sie spricht ausgezeichnetes Englisch und kennt ihr Land sehr gut. Ich hatte gesundheitliche Probleme und Tseyang war sofort da, und ins Krankenhaus zu begleiten und den Weg zu bahnen, ohne Sprachkenntnisse unm?glich!

We did a 7 day tour of Tibet with China Highlights. The guide was Phurbu. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We are repeat customers of this travel agency because they deliver a high quality tour with enormous flexibility. From the beginning they helped us getting the necessary permits. The quality of the sites we visited was amazing and we always had ample time to enjoy. We had a major setback as the government closed the access to the Everest area so our tour had to be rerouted. We were initially disappointed but we ended up visiting lake Namso and that was incredible. The agency offered a dinner in compensation even as it wasn’t their fault Phurbu introduced us patiently to his culture and to the Tibetan gastronomy. We had lunch and breakfast in around 10 typical places and the quality was always good.

There’s so much to say about this trip and our guide and driver who made it amazing for us. The culture and the sites are incredible to witness. From Lhasa to Shigatse to Everest Basecamp to Qirong Border, our guide (Dechen) gave us the most amazing tour and was incredibly knowledgeable about all the sites along the way. She made sure we felt welcome and were comfortable the entire time (from picking us up at the airport with traditional scarves, having heavy blankets ready to keep us warm, prayer flags for us to experience local culture, and oxygen bottles for us when the altitude got to us). Such an incredible experience, made even better by our guide Dechen and our amazing driver who got us around safely and comfortably. How he could navigate hundreds of switchbacks without making us carsick is a true testament to his driving skills. We felt very safe with him at the wheel. Thank you both!

We are a family of 4 with two kids with allergy. This was our third time travelling with China Highlights. So Leon, our planning guide, knows very well what our requirements and likings are. All the planning was as smooth as they can be. Our local Lhasa guide was Khamsang who has excellent knowledge in all things Tibet, from nomad's life style, city life, religion, food and many more. This was children's first time on high altitude trip and as had expected one of them got quite sick. Khamsang, a mother herself, was very quick to take us to the pharmacy and received proper care in time. Although winter isn't peak travelling season of Lhasa because of it's temperature, we enjoyed this extraordinary trip because of both Leon and Khamsang. Highly recommend!

Brenda was our tour guide in Zhou Zhuang and Shanghai. We had a great time in Zhou Zhuang and Shanghai. Zhou Zhuang is definitely the water town to visit if you can only visit one. Brenda was able to meet all our needs, even assisted us with a trip to the ER in Zhou Zhuang and translated for us. Chinese healthcare system is very quick and cheap. We were able to see a doctor, get lab works, ultrasound and medication all within an hour. The cost was about $50 USD. That did not affect our trip. We enjoyed the restaurants she took us to. When our tour was supposed to end around 2pm in Shanghai, Brenda and the driver made sure that we completed all the activities we wanted to do. I highly recommend Brenda as a tour guide and using China Highlights to plan out your trip to China.

My wife and I are touring China through China Highlights and when in Suzhou, we were blessed to Brenda as our guide. Brenda is an outstanding friendly guide whose knowledge of the area and whose English is excellent. Ray ‘s purpose in coming to Suzhou was to take a canal boat ride. Brenda arranged boat rides both in Suzhou and Tongli which were both marvellous. We also visited the famous leaning Buddhist Temple and the embroidery complex. She also took time to show us a great eating area close to our hotel. Brenda is currently with us in Shanghai where she shown us how to walk easily down to the river to look over the amazing new buildings and the Bund. She has also introduced us to quite different local food at lunch each day and we are now enjoying coffees at her favourite coffee shop on the river.

I had an absolutely incredible experience on my tour in Suzhou, all thanks to our amazing guide (Brenda)! She was knowledgeable, and personable, and went above and beyond to make the entire trip unforgettable. Her insights into the local culture, history, and hidden gems of Suzhou added so much depth to the experience. Whether we were exploring the beautiful gardens or walking through the charming old streets, she brought the city to life with her stories and passion for the area. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching tour in Suzhou!

Our guide Brenda spoke fluent English. She was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Thanks to her explanations, we had a memorable two-day trip to Suzhou and Tongli water towns.

Our guide, Brenda with China Highlights, really made our experience unforgettable even though we were only there for a short bit of time. Brenda was really knowledgeable and helpful in telling us where to find food nearby the hotel.She took us to the water town of Tongli, and shared so much of its history as well as the history of Suzhou. She also had great conversations with us -- topics ranging from the transformation of Suzhou to how the economy in China.

just got back from our 3 night trip in Shanghai using China Highlights. Thanks to our wonderful guide Karen we had a great time . Karen was alway punctual and sensitive to our needs and wishes ,she was creative in thinking of things to do outside the usual tours ,from foot massages in a very upscale salon,several unique food markets which we loved to different types of shopping experiences and even a special surprise wedding aniversary celabration at the bund. thank you Karen and China Highlights

Our tour of Shanghai was fantastic. We enjoyed all of the sites on the city tour and the ancient water town. Mulan was an amazing guide and we especially appreciate the birthday celebration she planned for Mary! Thank you Mulan!

It is all about how great the guides/hosts are: Jason is a very amiable person. Well informed. Reads a lot which has helped him current on global affairs. I was impressed. Eleven personifies warmth and enthusiasm. Very proud of Chinese culture. Nasreen & I wish them all the best.

We had a fantastic time during our short visit, only 3 days, in Shanghai. We stayed at the Hotel Sunrise On The Bund. We had an excellent guide Kenny, who I sometimes think could read our thoughts about what we wanted to do and see. She had answers to all our questions and was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of Shanghai. Among many places we went to Zhujiajiao Ancient town and YuYuan Garden where Kenny took us to real hidden gems and has so much to tell and show. Our visit was also a lot about food, we learned a lot from Kenny and tried many different dishes. We went to different markets and even took a cooking class where we together with our chef made 3 dishes. The whole visit went so smooth including pickup at the huge train station and drop off at the airport.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day tour of Shanghai. We were collected from the airport in a clean, comfortable 7 seater vehicle, shown around Shanghai and returned to the airport later the same day. Our tour guide, William, was excellent - he was polite, informative, cheerful and very reassuring company in a city we had never visited before. He helped us enjoy a delicious authentic Shanghai lunch and he made us feel very welcome. Before the trip I was contacted via WhatsApp to clarify all the arrangements by Suki. She, also, was excellent and the communication via WhatsApp was very efficient. We would highly recommend this company.

We stayed in Zhangjiajie for 2 days and besides the colder weather we really enjoyed the outdoors and the beautiful mountains. I would highly recommend Wendy as a tour guide. She knows all of the locations very well and the best food we had was in Zhangjiajie.

My wife and I with 2 other couples have just completed a 10-day tour of Ziangjiajie that was conducted by China Highlights. Needless to say we were very impressed by the spectacular geological features, the sceneries and such man-made attractions as the glass bridge. Even more impressive was the tour itself: everything was up to expectations and ran like clockwork from the moment we arrived at the airport to the point of departure. We are especially grateful to the guide, Wendy, who was excellent. She spoke good English, was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning to visit this area.

I had an amazing time at Zhangjiajie and already started to miss this beautiful scenic. The nature, the mountains, the air, stunning views etc. No words or photos can do justice of this stunning place! Thank you very much to Eileen from ZJJ for sharing this beautiful memory with me. Definitely left a part of me in ZJJ (:

We area a group of 6 people from Malaysia.Very well organised from pickup to departure. The car provided were new and big and clean. More than enough space for 6 of us with big luggages. Special mention must go to Wendy Yi our English speaking guide for the 7days. She was a gem. Most helpful and accomodating. We changed the routes almost everyday as there were some parts that we were not so bothered with. Very patient with some of us whom had difficulty walking and stayed with us until the end of each day back to the hotel. Excellent 5* to her attitude. No rushing through each day to finish. No tourist traps. No marketing. Made the holiday very enjoyable and easy. Very good English as well and pre-empted our needs.

Nous avons passé de très bons moments avec notre guide David malgré une météo maussade. La région de Zhangjiajie merite vraiment le détour et China Highlights vous facilite beaucoup les choses pendant votre séjour. Le programme est aussi flexible quand la situation le permet et qu’il faut s’adapter à la météo ou changer un horaire de train, c’est appréciable et David est impeccable pour ?a !

Our 7 days Yunnan trip with China Highlights started at Kunming then took us all the way to Dali, Lijiang and Shangri La. Visiting Yunnan in December during winter time was interesting, less crowded and most importantly enable us to see Yunnan in a different landscape. A special mention to our fantastic guides, May (in Kunming) and Sunny (in Dali) and their respective drivers who were personable and shared a wealth of knowledge and insights of the places we visited. They spoke good English, helpful with our requests and ensured that we were comfortable and satisfied with our tours. We will not hesitate to use China Highlights again for our next trip to China!

My family really enjoyed our time with Eleanor in Lijiang. She was able to pass on a lot of knowledge about her city which made the trip lots more interesting! We enjoyed having her guide us to amazing places. She was really attentive when one of us were feeling sick at the top of the mountain and provided us all with adaquete preparation for the 4000km+ altitude ascension.

We spent a fabulous week traveling through Yunnan. Our guides, Jack (Shangri la) Alice (Lijiang) Frank (Dali) and Rosemary (Kunming) all have deep knowledge of their cities and did an excellent job showing us their home areas. Our driver Mr Liu was also excellent taking us safely from place to place. This China Highlights trip was as advertised and we highly recommend it.

Our trip to Yunnan was amazing and there were a tonne of well thought out activities to entertain everyone. Our guides May (Kunming), Sally (Dali), Alice (Lijiang), Daniel (Lijiang), Pema (Shangri-La) and driver 尹光涛师傅 were very knowledgeable and thoughtful. We also made some ad hoc adjustments to the itinerary which was facilitated by the guides.

We went to Lijiang, Shaxi and Dali. My second time, my family’s first time. It was absolutely amazing, an experience filled with culture, nature and delicious foods. I would strongly recommend China Highlights to organise this trip for you as they know exactly what to show you and their service is excellent. Big shoutout to Coco, our agent who never disappoints. To Eleanor, our very capable and friendly guide in Lijiang. To Frank, our amazing, caring and extremely knowledgeable guide in Shaxi and Dali (no guide will ever take photos as good as Frank, trust me ;)

One of the highlights was strawberry picking, and the farmers market was such an exciting experience! We also got to try our hand at making tie-dye prints, which was so much fun. We visited a Chinese embroidery shop and ended up buying some beautiful pieces. Of course, we couldn’t miss the Three Pagodas, which were absolutely stunning. And our first-ever tea-tasting experience was amazing—plus, we brought some tea home to remember it by!

We had a phenomenal trip of Dali and Shaxi with Daisy. She was kind, courteous, smiling, on time and constantly went out of her way to accommodate and help us with anything and everything. She has in depth understanding of the area, history, things to do, where / what to eat, historical perspective, good locations for photographs, and much more. Can't recommend her enough for Dali and Shaxi, 5 stars all the way!!

China Highlight as a tour agent was fantastic. The driver and tour guide assigned were great. We went Dali and Frank the tour guide coordinated well with the driver. Frank is so knowledgeable and experienced as a tour guide. So he was able to bring us to all the places where the food all tasted great and environment was perfect. He also knew the best photo taking spots and helped us take so many nice pictures. He also brought some local fruits for us and cut them up during lunch. His efforts are totally commendable!

Daisy our guide made Dali magical.She was knowlegabke, fun abd empathetic. She takes the most anazing candid photos and curates the highlights

Amazing Day in Dali with my Family & we have a good Tour Guide name Daisy.We love this trip especially with her talent taking beautiful.

Lulu, our tour guide in Kunming is a very gentle & friendly person. She took such a great care of us during the whole journey.

I could not have wished for a better guide than Luna. She was interesting, funny, amicable, knowledgeable, patient, inventive and the most wonderful person I could have spent the day with. The program was very interesting, and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself today. At the end of hour trip we discussed my train trip to Laos and she reminded me to get a paper ticket and went out of her way to help me find instructions how to go about that. Luna is a total treasure, and she set a very high bar for other future guides to measure up to.

Our tour guides and drivers were very knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. The guides and drivers shared interesting insights and anecdotes which helped us better understand the culture and history of Yunnan. The itinerary was well planned and the pace was comfortable for us. We were impressed by the guides who went the extra mile to help us get through the packed train stations and tourist attractions. While some roads in Yunnan were not easy to navigate, the drivers were highly professional and we felt safe during the entire ride. We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the team: Guides: Rosemary (Kunming), Sally (Dali), Andy (Lijiang), Peter (Shangri-La), Luna (Kunming) Drivers: Mr Zhou (Kunming), Mr Zhou (Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La), Jack Li (Kunming)

We enjoyed the passion, professionalism and great service from guides and drivers in all 3 cities (Kunming, Dali and Lijiang) but special mention needs to be made of: - Sally (guide for Dali) who was 200% attentive towards the needs of the elderlies in our group, passionate and highly professional in her work, punctual, advocates for her guests - Mr Xu (driver for Dali and Lijiang) who displayed a high degree of professionalism in ensuring punctuality and safety during the trip. When our Lijiang guide needed rest during a car ride, Mr Xu promptly took over, explaining the history and trivia of the locations we were visiting - and his knowledge gives many tour guides out there a good run for their money! - Lina (guide for Kunming) whom we made a spontaneous request to help us identify a traditional Chinese medication - she immediately went on her phone to search for

My husband and I had the best time in Huangshan with our guide, Tony. We were very lucky that the weather was clear when we were on the mountain because the views we had were incomparable! Tony also told us the best spot to experience sunrise on the mountain which was absolutely magical and 100% worth the hour of hiking in the dark. Tony was also an extremely kind and knowledgeable guide with so much insight, not only of the mountain, but also the local people and the surrounding area. He ensured that we had the best time and were safe at all time, especially when taking on the more challenging climb. We only managed to stay here for 2 nights but will definitely return for a longer stay and explore the rest of the hiking trail we didn't manage to explore this time around!

We got amazing views to the mountains and our guide Tony helped us get many spectacular views including the sunset by tailoring our itinerary as per the local conditions. I will recommend Tony as he has deep understanding of the area and is very friendly! Special thanks to Liberman for helping create the itinerary!

Great day trip with Philip. He has great knowledge of local history and culture. He is very professional and helpful to make the trip unforgettable.

I had a wonderful time in huangshan ! and our guide tony was great ,he take care of us carefully and full of patients!he helps us take many nice photos! And thank you very much,make our whole trip smoothly!

Enjoyed the sights but also the people and experiences available in Huangshan.The China Highlight guide was an incredible person who was knowledgeable, warm, welcoming and sharing many interesting insights about life in China and helping to immerse oneself in this expansive country and its friendly and hard working people:

Susan (our guide) is so cooperative with everything that we needed, she explained a lot of aspects of the ways the Chinese culture.The tea plantation has to be the most beautiful part of the itinerary, it's just so beautiful and meeting the local woman (can't recall her name) where she showed us what tea means to the Chinese culture (it's not just a drink) and scenery was just breathtaking. The guide will always make the difference in any itinerary, and Susan made the difference in this one. Would definitely recommend it. Thanks

Sehr interessante Tour von Jill! In einem Tag hat sie uns durch die sch?nsten Orte geführt! Es war stets kurzweilig. Das Englisch war hervorragend.

Wir haben einen Tagesausflug von Shanghai aus nach Hangzhou gemacht. Es war ein absolut beeindruckendes Erlebnis! Bereits die Fahrt mit dem High Speed Train war irre. Unsere Führerin Jill hat uns zuverl?ssig vom Bahnhof abgeholt. Mit dem Minibus ging es an den Westsee, zum Lingyin Tempel und in die Altstadt. Jill war sehr kompetent und ist bereitwillig auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Im Tempel waren sehr viele Menschen, Jill kannte alle Schleichwege und hat uns geschickt durch die Menge gelotst. Sie war st?ndig in Kontakt mit unserem Fahrer, so dass wir nie warten mussten. Absolut empfehlenswert!

The trip to Hangzhou was the most enjoyable for my family. The itinerary was well planned and the tour guide 章珂烨 was one of the best that we have come across.She’s bubbly, keen and enthusiastic. She went out of her way to ensure we had a great trip and experience. What impresses me is that she knew that we never had experience taking the high speed rail to Shanghai and she spent time to explain to us and even drew out a map of the checks that we are going to encounter. We went to visit the tea plantation and had a great time at 娜娜’s home. 娜娜 was also great at explaining about tea and the processes involved.

Susan, our guide in Hangzhou was very friendly and knowledgeable about the places that we visited. We had a fun and interesting 3 days at Hangzhou.
