I live in Shanghai and decided to go to Guilin during one of my weeks off of work. I chose a 5-day private tour and had a great time.
My tour guide, Lily, was very kind and spoke good English. She helped translate for me at all the stores and restaurants. She also bargained with the store owners to bring the prices down for me even though I did not ask her to. I had the same driver throughout the tour who was also very nice.
My favorite part of the tour was watching cormorant fishing. Lily booked two different locations for me to do this activity and let me choose which one I wanted to go to. The option I chose is intended for tourists who want to take photos of the fishermen and birds up close.
I was not able to do everything I wanted to do during my first visit so I plan to go back next year. When I do I will book with this company again.

I found China travel online, and after being contacted by China travel 's Travel Consultant , I was in excellent hands as China travel created a private tour for me. As a solo traveler, China travel met all of our interests for a wonderful vacation and fascinating sight-seeing . Everything with China travel was spot on: planning, reservations and pre-trip paperwork was handled efficiently, and the guide Lele for the our tour was friendly, knowledgeable, dependable and spoke English very well. Lele in Guilin was truly the BEST! Lele always accommodating to assist us with any questions and to ensure that I had a great time during my free time! The meals set up for our lunches were delicious, We had a FANTASTIC trip! The only negative that I can say is.....nothing! China travel was very dependable and trustworthy, as well as always a phone call or message away to meet our needs before and during my trip.

Our family of 6 took a 5-day of guilin, longji terrace and yangshuo with Frank in March 2024. We were very fortunate to have him as our guide. He is knowledgeable and shares the history, origin and stories in the most interesting way we could appreciate. He was most kind and patient towards my elderly parents, engaged me and husband as friends and was also well liked by my teenage children.
I remembered the day we reached longji terrace and it was planned to be our free and easy afternoon. On seeing my family contemplating to see the view point on our own, he offered to lead the way and spent the afternoon with us, never rushing us at any juncture which allowed us to catch the beautiful scenery after the rain and mist had cleared. He offered an alternative route for us to walk down the terraces, many photo opportunities along the way and a great way to see the countryside living and animals. As tourists, we would never want to miss any important sights as we might not return this same place.
Frank is definitely a highlight of my trip! We won't hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.. he is a gem of Guilin.

Our tour guide Lily is incredibly responsible and professional. Not only does she patiently explain the historical background and anecdotes of each attraction, but she also takes us to explore many off-itinerary experiences. She even goes beyond her duties by helping us with luggage and taking beautiful photos, making us feel like we have a professional photographer with us. Her friendly approach makes us feel like we're traveling with a friend rather than just following a guide. Lily's enthusiasm towards every guest is evident, and she truly enhances our experience. Guilin and Yangshuo are truly beautiful places, and despite the weather preventing us from bamboo rafting this time, it gives us a reason to come back again.

Although I naively didn't anticipate the hoards of tourists in Yangshuo during the holiday (I know, I know... 😂), and portions of the tour were cancelled as a result, William was an amazing tour guide and did an A+ job despite the absolute craziness of the situation. I enjoyed our tour (it was worth it for this sight alone!) and would book with them again if I ever find myself in Guilin and Yangshuo again! Thanks William ☺️

We traveled to Guilin and Yangshuo as part of our private tour of China with China Travel.Guilin is a lovely city from which we made a trip to cruised the Li river for few hours to see the magnificent karst landscape, “stone forests” of oddly-shaped, white limestone cliffs rising steeply from the river. We enjoyed our stay there immensely! The beauty of the landscape is breathtaking. So is the river and the cliffs! Absolutely worth an extra stop on any China itinerary!
Our guide in Guilin is Lele,Lele was the best guide we had on this trip; enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and resourceful. Lele arranged special meals for us with local foods, and brought special fruits in season. We were having great fun with him while riding on a tiny river ferry, eating roast goose and meat-stuffed snails in a local restaurant. Great experiences!

We spent two lovely days in Chengdu with our guide Helen organised by China Travel. We went to see the giant Pandas and the red Pandas (from now on my all time favourite) and the giant Buddha. Both tours were fantastic and more so with the skilfull assistance of Helen who made the entire experience unforgettable. Her English is impeccable and she has a kind and lively personality, it is very pleasurable conversing with her about China historical past and present. She looked after us very well, she made sure we took the best pictures in every occasion skilfully guiding us through an unbelievable amount of other tourists and that we made the less possible amount of line ups when entering attractions. For first timers is virtually impossible to understand what to do and having Helen beside us took all the stress away and what was left was only to enjoy the wonderful things we experienced. Further, Helen went the extra mile for us and helped us recover an item we left in an hotel and we were unable to obtain due to language difficulties. So if you want complete peace of mind and a stress free experience in Chengdu, Helen is the wise choice.
We also visited Guilin organised by China Travel again. We were picked up at the train station by our guide Chase. The whole experience was very smooth and relaxing. Chase was outside the station waiting for us. He speaks English very well and it is very enjoyable conversing with him about the attractions in Guilin, the food, the lifestyle etc. He gave us very good recommendations for our stay. Overall a very positive and pleasant experience and we certainly recommend China Travel and Chase for your trip to Guilin.

We had a fabulous sightseeing in Guilin and Yangshuo with 4 nights stay, 2 nights in each locations. This was our first visit to Guilin. The program was well plan out for the group of 5 by Venessa, tour planner.
Our tour guide, Chase, has added more fun and joy to our visit. Chase was a good English speaking guide and accommodating to us all that made our visit more relax and yet interesting. We had full 4 days of fun and excitement with various activities that includes, Longji Rice field visit, Yangshuo mountain walk and etc. Chase articulated well in English at each sights that we visited relating to the history and culture.
I would highly recommend CT with Chase as tour guide.

This was our third trip to China and, although we have used China Travel previously for some arrangements (eg. river cruise; train tickets), this was our first private tour. They arranged a nine-night tour of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huangshan plus part-time guide services in Shanghai for my wife and me. Everything was perfect. Our guides (Tracy, Lulu, William and Ryan), all of whom spoke good English, were flexible, experienced, resourceful, enthusiastic and fun to be with. We felt safe with all the drivers. They drove carefully and kept their vehicles spotlessly clean and well maintained. We plan to use China Travel services again based on our experience with them to date. They are reliable and deliver what they promise. We will certainly be recommending the company to any of our friends who are planning a trip to Southeast Asia.

Our guides name was Helen/ Fang Fang and she was excellent! We would not have had as much stress free fun without her help and energy. In one and half days we saw the pandas, leshan buddha, the peoples park, wenshu monastery and browsed shopping streets that made you feel you were stepping back in time. She made sure we had the best views, and best timings to see the pandas at their most active and was exceptional at taking priceless family photos for us! She even brought my daughter a snack so that she wouldn't be hungry while watching the amazing face-changing show. The attention to detail and personalized care by all the guides of China highlights and especially Helen made our China trip the most memorable family trip we have had.

Hello yy777 and all
Please can you advise what kind of walking / hiking around the rice terraces or from where to where would be suitable for an active 76 year old who'd like to walk but not for 4 hours! My mum can walk for about 60-90 minutes on flat grounds so I'm wandering how suitable this terrain is.
She might try cycling if there was a tricycle or is there a cyclo-rickshaw she could be a passenger in for hire?
Thanks in advance.
