Elaine of U China Travel met us at the airport and guided us expertly for 2-1/2 days. We saw all the major sights in Beijing we requested and had excellent meals as well. The visit to the Summer Palace was excellent and provide a great start to the trip. We followed up the next day with Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. Elaine took care of us the whole time and took us to meet our cruise ship in Tianjin on the last day. I highly recommend Leo Chu and U China Travel.

Leo and U China Travel organized a fantastic 2 week holiday in China for our family; Beijing, hanging Temple, Pingyao, Xi’an, Chengdu and Shanghai. China is wonderful but could be difficult to negotiate alone in a short time. The arrangements were flawless- we were picked up and dropped off at each place reliably, we had excellent accommodation ( mixture of new and more traditional but all high standard) . The guides at each place were all friendly, helpful and had excellent English. Their knowledge of the history and culture of China was fantastic but they could also have a laugh with us. We had an itinerary mapped out but they were happy to change things around to suit us as we wanted. Our son lost his passport (!!) and thanks to the guides quick work we recovered it and it was fine. They had some good suggestions along the way of things to do as well. I would highly recommend U China to book and arrange your holiday- Leo went out of his way to make this a wonderful holiday.

Very good service, good local guides and correct reservations. Good programs and very good timings. We had the programs with lunches incluided, in every case good menus in good restaurants. Quickly and helpfull answers by email, inmediatly answers by whatsapp.

We travelled with u China travel for 18 days over Christmas. It couldn't have been better. We had a great time. The guides were awesome. The accommodation and meals were fantastic. Would recommend them for your tour of China.

First of all, because I do not speak the language, it is imperative that we have an escort to get us around. In any event, having an escort makes life and one's vacation seamless and a whole lot trouble-free. Case in point, we arrived in Guangzhou around midnight, we needed a spot to just sleep overnight for the connecting the next morning. Leo picked the Pullman Hotel that was situated inside of the airport and arranged for a guide to take us from the gate to the hotel; it took us around 20 min to walk it. In retrospect, it would have made it worse if we got lost attempting to find the hotel. Another case, we arrived at the terminus station in Hong Kong. I felt that it would be a snap to find transportation to our hotel on Hong Kong Island, but Leo insisted that there be an escort to meet us at the train stop and take us to our hotel. While in the car, the escort was very helpful in getting us suggestions and contacts on hard-to-find items in the city. Well worth it. He also suggested a tour of Huangshan/Yellow Mountain. I thought a mountain is just like any other mountain, but since it was a world heritage site, I said what the heck. It was grand and staying overnight at a hotel near the top was what makes great vacation memories. I also wanted to visit Jingdezhen, once the porcelain capital of the world. Leo and his crew arranged a memorable two day visit for us. You won't find Jingdezhen on any of his offerings, but he made it happen for us. This is our third trip using Uchina, recommend Leo and his boutique agency highly to all who want a more personal service.

This is the first time we’ve been to China and we had an amazing time. Organising the trip through Leo was simple and stress free. It was great to arrive in Beijing and be met by Lily and Mr Wong despite the delay in our flight meaning it was about 3am. All the guides in all the cities were amazing particularly Lily and Mr Wong around Beijing who were super professional and we had some great conversations with David through Shanxi. The hotels were awesome the travel was comfortable with lots of water, it was great to not have to wait in queues and we ate a variety of tasty food for lunch in great restaurants. We definitely recommend Leo and the team. Thanks!

We just returned from our second extended private tour of China with U-China Travel, and once again, it was an outstanding trip. We had requested a somewhat challenging itinerary, wishing to visit Dunhuang, Jiayuguan, and Zhangye, in addition to Lhasa, Chengdu, and Yunnan province. The trip that Leo organized for us was perfect, with beautiful accommodations and excellent guides all along the way. Special highlights of our journey included the Mogao Caves and Western 1000 Buddha Caves near Dunhuang, the Danxia Landforms near Zhangye, Lhasa, and the stunning scenery of Yunnan province. We appreciated the time Leo spent with us in Beijing, taking us to lunch, and showing us around a restored hutong and the lovely Confucius Temple. We hope to return to China in the next few years, and look forward to using U-China Travel again. Throughout the planning process, Leo responded promptly to emails, made good suggestions, and was receptive to our requests. We highly recommend Leo Chu and U-China Travel for anyone wishing to do a private tour of China.

I traveled to China to Taishan for a wedding, but wanted to do a little sight seeing during my first week. Leo and the rest of the team were able to come up with a tailored itinerary for the one week we had to travel and it was excellent. It was so nice and relaxing to not worry about making reservations or getting tickets or fighting through the crowds. Our private guide, Judy, was excellent and knowledgeable, telling us about each city and the culture. They take into account your activity level and what your are looking to do. And even if you don't know what you want to do, they find something interesting for you to enjoy your China experience. The hotels they reserve do cater to Westerners, so if you are missing western food, you'll get to eat them at these hotels.

Leo Chu from U China Travel arranged for my husband and I a 13 day trip through Gansu and Xinjiang. The arrangements were done very efficiently and we were prepared for the trip.The guides were very knowledgeable and accommodating and were always there to meet us at the specified time and place. The driver we had were also very careful and good. We started in Xian and the real Silk road tour started in Zhangye with the Reclining Buddha, Rock formation and then Jiauuguan and the Ming great wall. The highlight was Duhuang with Mogao caves, camel ride on the sand dunes and the no included Silk Road show which was wonderful. The bullet train to Xinjiang and Turpan was excellent. Our guy Ricki was very good and we saw the ancient cities dated back to 200 BC, the Kizil Buddha caves, the life of Uighurs in the old city, the bazaars and the model new cities of Kuqa and Tashgar. The hotel accommodations were good in Gansu. The Silk Road lodge in Turpan was different but needed renovation and not up to standard. The hotels and Kuqa and Tashgar were excellent.All in all we had a remarkable experience on the Silk Road. U China made it happened.

I used U China Travel and couldn't have had a better experience. Everything was perfect- from the arrival and departure airport and train transportation to the in-depth and highly knowledgeable tour guides. We used U China Travel tour guide in Hong Kong, Guilin, Xian, and Beijing. I was concerned because I wanted flexibility to alter my tours and they were very accommodating. Yinglee in Xian was fabulous as was Carol in Hong Kong. I highly recommend Leo as a highly organized and extremely helpful contact. His English is excellent and there was not any surprises. He rescued me from my confusion and took my travel issues seriously -even during a very busy holiday time. Don't hesitate to use this company!!

We visited Sanya which was arranged through U China Travel. We are a company of three with my mom who is 89 years old. It is not easy for a tour with an old lady who couldn't walk too far and climb steep steps. Our tour guide was exceptional and took good care of my mom throughout the whole journey. He also knew the place well and explained to us the history of each place we visited in great detail. My mom was not too tired at the end of each day due to this superb arrangement.

Thank you só much Leo and Uchinatravel. All tours, lunchs and places was amazing. 14 people say that you are the best👏👍

I was visiting Beijing for business reasons the 2nd time within 4 years. The day of my arrival I had a private sightseeing tour in Beijing with U China Travel. I already visited Mutianyu Great Wall and Forbidden City with U China Travel 4 years ago, so I again contacted U China Travel for my 2nd visit in Beijing. On my private tour we visited the Summer Palace with a relaxing boat ride on Kunming lake, the Lama Temple and the Olympic Stadium. It was again a great experience.

Just back in Australia after a fantastic 12 day tour in China organised by Leo Chu at U China Travel.Incredible trip commencing in Beijing then onto Xian and Gansu Province and the Gobi Desert visiting sites and towns of Dunhuang, Jiayugan, Zhangye and Lanzhou. We expected to see the great sites in Beijing and surrounds with highlights of the Forbidden City, Lama Temple, Summer Palace and, of course, the Great Wall. We were not disappointed and our guide, Doyle, led us through these historic sites and provided a running and interesting commentary of the history and Chinese philosophy.After flying to Xian we spent our next few days awe struck with the terracotta warriors and visiting the Great Mosque and Muslim quarter and market with Lily, our guide, who took us to interesting and less travelled areas.The highlight of our trip was arriving in Dunhuang and the ensuing days in the desert and towns so rich in history and explained so well over the next 5 days by our guide, Spring. Our travel organiser, Leo, had met all our requests to try to see historic and interesting sites but also get off the beaten track where possible. Although hard to do in a country with such a significant population and eagerness to travel, we were shown special sites where, often, we were the only people visiting, eg the Fresco Tombs of Wei and Jin Dynasties near Jiayugan with their fascinating chambered tombs and painted tiles depicting everyday life 1800 yrs before. The Mogao Grottoes were also a highlight and recommended to anyone visiting Dunhuang - 494 caves carved into the rock by Budhist monks and richly decorated with the finest art. Through U China Travel my wife and I were allowed to visit a special grotto not open to the general public which again was a special event for us.Visiting the "original" Great Wall was real eye opener and so great to see the western end of the wall which was built approx. 2,100 years ago of soil, mud, straw and grasses and still standing today. In comparison, the Great Wall near Beijing is just a baby, being on approx. 600 years old !!Finally, before returning to Beijing via Lanzhou, we visited the Zhangye Danxia Landform. An incredible and spectacular petrographic geomorphological landscape with its rich coloured hills and the further we travelled the more spectacular the colours and landscapes. A definite must to see.Easy going and knowledgeable guides and great drivers. Recommend anyone to engage U China Travel Thanks Leo

Thanks to U China Travel, our trip to China turned to be one of the best vacations we've ever had. It was a pleasure to work with Leo on our vacation planning - he helped us to come up with an ideal itenariry taking care of every detail. Leo was very reliable and caring. We had terrific guides - Dacau in Tibet and Lilly in Beijing - who introduced us to the local culture. We had a great time.
