About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ccyy40 contributionsAmazing 3 days in Xi'an Private TourI originally booked with a freelance guide/driver found on TripAdvisor but decided last minute to use this travel agency because their prices were only slightly more and included a driver and a guide. The price included all of the entrance ticket fees too. I worked with Rui for pre-planning and she was extremely patient and knowledgeable. She answered all my emails very quickly and helped me rearrange my itinerary to ensure that I was able to see all of the sites on my list and also catch a food tour I booked separately the first evening. I decided last minute to book the Tang show Song of Everlasting Sorrow at Huaqing Palace and she was able to get me tickets in Zone A central though they were sold out online. I was picked up at the airport by my guide for the first day, Helen, and my driver for the 3 days Mr. Zhang Hongtao. Helen has been a guide for many years and is very passionate about sharing information. The only small issue we had was that I walk really fast and was afraid I would kill her with my speed. The last two days, my guide was Summer. Summer was a wonderful guide. She shared a lot of information and was very easy to get along with. She also helped adjust the tour a little bit based on what made the most sense. We had plenty of time to see all of the sites and she was so good at finding the best spots for photos. She's also very sweet and patient too, anything you ask for, she'll help. For example, I wanted to try the little persimmon that's local to Xi'an and she helped me choose the best location to buy and I got the best price too. Those little persimmon were delicious! So much sweeter than the larger ones I've had. The driver Mr. Zhang was one of the best drivers I’ve ever had. After airport pickup, he recommended reversing the order of the sites due to highway exit closure. Both the guide and I were a little hesitant but it turned out he was right. If we had followed the original plan we would’ve had to reroute 30-40 minutes and my schedule was already tight. His driving skills were great and when I was running late the first day for my food tour, he somehow managed to get me there on time and safely. In addition, after dropping me off at the meetup spot he delivered my luggage to the hotel for me! He stayed late the night I saw the Tang Show and when he saw how cold I was, he pulled over to pour me hot water from his super sized thermostat. He was so considerate and was always waiting for us at the best pick-up spot during the 3 days. He also picked a restaurant near the Terracotta soldiers museum and the food was fantastic! His car was also very clean and though I know he smoked, I never once smelled cigarette smoke in the car or coming from him either. I highly recommend this agency and this combination of driver/guide for Xi'an.Written November 9, 2024

- Getaway5174540 contributionsAmazing 8 days Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou and Mt. Emeishan TourWhat a splendid Tour! That's exactly how I would like to sum up the whole package, from ground work to transportation, meals, sight seeings and everything else. Sophia Liu who is a Senior Travel Consultant with China Xian Tour, materialized our trip with her meticulous planning coupled with two fantastic Tour Guides namely, Julie who took care of our three days tour in Chengdu and two days in Emeishan. She's such an experienced and knowledgeable Guide who speaks fluent English. Henry, on the other hand, was our Tour Guide in Jiuzhaigou who's a true Tibetan and fun Tour Guide that added lots of laughters during the trip. I highly recommended China Xian Tour and applaud how they orchestrated the whole trip. Thumps up!Written November 3, 2024

- Suci1680 contributions14 Days Western Sichuan Road TripThe initial interest in vacationing in Western Sichuan was because of the amazing scenery, the expanse of mountains and blue lakes. We contacted Joy Tour and it turned out that Joy Tour had a vacation program to Western Sichuan. We made some adjustments to the travel program which was patiently served by our Travel Consultant, Sophia Liu. Finally, our program was "14 days Road Trip to Western Sichuan". A very challenging program for our age. We managed to go through tourist attractions that have an average height of over 3000 meters above sea level. This success is inseparable from the role of Joy Tour in arranging a very cheerful, enthusiastic and patient tour guide (Erikk) to follow our pace and a driver (Mr. Yu) who is very familiar with the road in the Western Sichuan area. It was truly a fun holiday and has left a deep impression in our memories. It was unforgettable memories. Thank you Joy Tour. See you again on the next vacation. (By the way, this is our 6th holiday trip arranged by Joy Tour).Written November 1, 2024

- WeThree_Swiss0 contributionsGreat first time China experienceWe did a 14 days tour covering Bejing, Xian, Guilin and Shanghai. Kelly as an organizer was great and always available. Important, as this was our first time in China. All guides were well selected. We appreciated that they were flexible and accommodating to our wishes.Written October 20, 2024
- kingpengh20240 contributionsAn interesting and informative tour handled by a reliable companyBoth my wife and I cannot read Chinese, and were quite worried when booking the private tour starting from Chengdu. Mrs Nancy Liu, the senior tour consultant who handled our booking, was very helpful and prompt in answering our queries and looking into every minute detail. She was very precise and concise in her instructions including our to and fro high speed train journey. The tour itself was informative and covered many interesting places. Our tour guide was very punctual and her vast knowledge made it possible for us to appreciate the tour even more. We also moved around in a comfortable car with a careful driver who never kept us waiting. My verdict? An interesting and informative tour superbly handled by a very reliable company that delivers what it promises. Thanks CXT.Written October 20, 2024
- Safari7083130 contributionsPrivate Tour - Great Xinjiang Trip with Joy Travel – A Reliable Choice"We recently completed a 14-day Xinjiang tour with Joy Travel and were very impressed with their service. After reaching out to several agencies, Joy Travel stood out with their prompt, honest communication, while others seemed more focused on finding out what budget we had rather than understanding what we were looking for. Despite finding them online and being cautious, they accepted our request to pay 50% upon arrival, which reassured us. A key part of the trip was the driver they assigned, who was experienced and prioritized our safety, which was crucial as the trip involved significant travel time. The accommodations and meals exceeded our expectations for the price. Impressively, they proactively changed one hotel based on feedback from another group that had just stayed there, ensuring we had a better option before we checked in. Special thanks to Kelly for her support. Now knowing that this travel agent has over 20 years of experience and covers most of China, we will definitely explore using their services again for future trips. We highly recommend others to try them out!Written October 17, 2024

- D9445HDlouisj0 contributionsFelt like a local in Yunnan!An unforgettable trip! Because Yunnan is beautiful, but first because of the guides that we met! The energetic Jingjing (Vivian) saved our lives by managing to get our wallet back after we forgot it in the plane, will be forever thankful. Then we spent unforgettable days with Zhao around Dali. His kindness and deep knowledge of history truly immersed us in Chinese culture. After we explored Lijiang and its surrounding with the joyful Binxin (Brandon) and we highly recommend the romance show. After a day in the Tiger leaping gorge, we ended up in the mystical Shangri-la that I cannot stop thinking about. I now serve pu-erh tea in the traditional way to all my family and friends. Hopefully we will be back to do the southern road one day.Written September 25, 2024
