China Travel Avis 

Vanessa arranged a trip for our family of 7 to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, and Chengdu, Sichuan. I couldn’t be happier with their service. They arranged comfortable transportation, good hotels, and knowledgeable guides that catered perfectly to our family’s needs, including a 5-month-old baby. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making our trip smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend China Travel for families looking for a hassle-free travel experience!

I recently visited China and had an amazing time. My trip came out perfect!

Chinatravel is a great tour company. Every detail was thought of. All of our guides spoke excellent English and were knowledgeable and fun to be with. Every driver was punctual and skilled for travel to different locations. They chose good and comfortable hotels. In particular we thank you Vanessa Zheng, for being careful to our needs.

We’ll definitely recommend using Chinatravel when visiting China.

This trip was an amazing experience for me!
I have been wanting to visit the cities of Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai for decades!! My prayers and wishes finally were fulfilled.

I traveled with 3 other people. This was the first private tour I had ever experienced. This is the way to travel.

Our tour guides and drivers were amazing in all 3 cities! The sites we visited and the experiences we had will forever been in my memories and heart!

Vanessa was excellent and always just an email away if needed!!

I can’t recommend China Travel enough!

Thank You!!!

My experience was great from the get go! I have to say it all started for me when I enlisted in China Travel, particularly being connected with my contact Vanessa Zhang. I was very impressed with her professionalism through and through.

When I was doing my research to visit China, I checked several companies at the same time. Everybody wanted to sell their fixed tour trips in the Triangle Beijing-Xi'an-Shanghai and places in between, but I had particular route of museums and cities that off the normal touristic paths and most companies openly told me that they did not serve those places. Three companies were willing to take to the places that I wanted. In the end I decided to choose China Travel because the person who responded my emails (Sally Guo) was knowledgeable about the historically oriented subject matter that was driving my visit to China. Sally created quickly an itinerary for one full month in China visiting places that were important for me, but not for the bulk of tourists. The price of the tour was also competitive compared with other companies. Overall, I fulfilled the goals of my trip, that included always a car with a driver, a guide, transportation and hotels. I had a good time and whenever something unexpected happened, the local guides, Sally and the company responded quickly and found a quick and satisfactory solution. I will keep using the services of this company if future visits to China.

We organised a short trip to Shanghai and Beijing using Vanesa at China Travel. All I had to do was tell her how long we wanted to spend in each city, and she did the rest. Everything was laid on for us, including
Being met at the airport
All our hotels
A high speed train trip from Shanghai to Beijing
Trips to various places of interest with an English speaking guide
I cannot commend her service enough, she even sent our itinerary through early to enable us to get our visas.

Very efficiently organised short tour with excellent guides in Shanghai nd Xian. Vanessa was very responsive to all our questions.

Annie from China Highlights booked all 7 of our High-Speed train tickets for our trip to Southern China, as well as arranged for a driver and car for us whenever and wherever we needed. We started in Hong Kong, then went on to Guilin, Tongren (actually stayed in Jiangkou), and Kunming. From Kunming we took the High-Speed international train to Luang Prabang. Without Annie's faultless logistical help, we would not have been able to see and do so much in such a short period of time; not only was she always available via WhatsApp to help us out in tricky situations, but she was also always very polite and friendly (and professional!) at all times. We had such an amazing time that we would not hesitate to turn to China Highlights again for our next trip to China!

My wife and I just returned from our trip to China and Tibet, and are reflecting on some of our wonderful memories. In large part, I attribute the success of this trip to China Travel and the special talents of Ms. Sally Guo.

Several years ago, I contacted China Travel about visiting China and Tibet, especially to visit Mt. Everest Base Camp. Sally responded then and has since been extraordinarily helpful with advice on when to go (China was closed because of Covid, and later, Tibet permits were not available), what to see, as well as information on the logistics for various options if we were to bring some of our family. I had additional questions because of the cold and difficult weather at Base Camp in the Himalayas.

I wish to commend Sally for her patience and accuracy in responding to our many, many questions!

Further, as our planning advanced, we felt comfortable with the quality of the guidance and information we were receiving from her, and were surprised to learn later that she had never even been to Tibet! She was obviously thorough in doing her research and homework.

Finally, we were given expert support at the last minute. When a question arose late on one day about our lodging for the next day, we contacted Sally well after normal business hours. She responded that night, and the question was addressed early the next morning! Such responsive, comforting support!

In conclusion, China Travel has been so capable and helpful in organizing a fairly complex trip that, from our perspective, came off so successfully that we were able to not only enjoy the planning, but to also enjoy a unique trip to a beautiful part of the world. In particular, we commend Sally for her knowledge, expertise, professionalism, persistence and responsiveness.

She was such a delight to work with!

Thank you, Vanessa for organizing a wonderful and stress-free trip. We started in Beijing, Xian, Zhangjiajie, Guilin-Yangshuo and ended in Foshan - 11 days! There was no way we would have done it without your expertise, prompt responses to our queries and necessary changes. We learnt a lot about the Chinese culture, loved the spectacular scenery and tried different local cuisines. Thank you to the local drivers and experienced guides Nancy, Crystal, Lee & Yang, all so friendly, informative and ensuring that we stayed on track.

China Highlights is a reliable company and the co-ordination with each destination from Beijing to Zhanjiajie ( in between Xian, Chengdu, Guiyang) was smooth and guides can speak English. Thanks to Vivi in the email chats who help to connect and plan our trip.
Xian’s guide Jerry is helpful but suggest history telling to limit to just about the place of visit so we can associate with the artifacts and displays and not on the general history like how Buddhism come about. We did not manage to go up Fanjing peak, if we can reach before lunch time or spend less time in lunch or book in advance the queue system, probably will be with no regrets.

Overall we had a good trip, thanks to all the guides and drivers and Vivi.

I had a great experience with Vanessa at China Travel who arranged for my solo tour of selected cities in China last year. So, I relied on her again this year for an even longer solo trip. This time, I visited Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-la in Yunnan, Lhasa in Tibet, Chengdu, Chongqin and Luoyang. She arranged for local guides, air and train tickets and hotels in every city. Guides met and dropped me off at all destinations and hotels were clean and situated in the perfect locations. Everything flowed on schedule and as expected. I am already planning for another trip next year and I'll use her again.

I travelled independently Chongqing- Chengdu - Yangzte cruise - Xian - Suzhou and Shanghai. I booked the cruise and trains through Annie who was absolutely superb. Response time was amazing and her English is so clear. If you need to book anything in China I would recommend this organisation in the strongest terms.

Good communication to book with Vanessa. Knowledgable, experienced and assertive guide Henry. 5 star experience.

We planned our trip to China with the skilfull assistance of Vanessa Zheng. From the outset Vanessa has been very helpful and understanding with changes and additions and always replied promptly. She really optimised the tour for us to suit our needs to the best. When we actually started the tour we were thoroughly impressed by the quality, professionalism and attitude of all the guides and drivers provided. Everything worked like a Swiss watch there has never been a shortcoming, it was an absolutely perfect trip. We were so happy with it that we are doing another tour next Summer.

It would not have been possible to organize our 23 days in China without Vivi support
-we are a family
We have booked 11 trains trips and 1 day tour !!!
Quick responses
Prompt availability
Perfect service !!

We had a wonderful one day tour of the Terracotta Army, organised through China Highlights/ China Travel. Jenny was an amazing guide, full of really clear information and history and her passion for the subject made it all the more interesting. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she ensured our day was utterly smooth running and enjoyable.

We booked our trip with Vanessa Zheng.
Her communication and design of the holiday, to our particular and many requirements, was impeccable, and nothing was an issue to Vanessa, who tailored our every need and made my wife's birthday extra special. During our experiences in Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Yangtze River cruise aboard the Century Glory, Yichang and finally, Shanghai. Supported by an excellent and hugely helpful, experienced and knowledgeable team of guides, Mark (Beijing), Ken (Xi'an), Bella (Chengdu), Jenny (Chongqing), Linda (Yangtze Cruise) and Martin (Shanghai), who assisted us to have a truly amazing holiday and helped us to understand the struggle we would have had without the assistance of such great and dedicated support. Thank you and best wishes, Vanessa, and we will be in contact for our next trip

Had a great time over three days, with knowledgeable and experienced guides. My tours included site-seeing and lunch in Shanghai: Bund, Yuyuan Garden, French Concession, Shanghai Tower, (Day 1); Zhujiajiao Water Town with Tea House, and Jade Buddha Temple (Day 2); and Suzhou: Humble Administrators Garden, Rickshaw Ride, Pingjiang Street, and Tiger Hill (Day 3). All were very enjoyable tours and I learnt a lot from my wonderful guides, Rachel and Zhang.
