I contacted more than 10 tour companies to find one that could provide an ambitious itinerary for Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai. Travel China Guide was the winner, their communication was constant and everything went smoothly without a hitch. From airport pick up to overnight trains to hotels and guides, everything was great! My mom does not walk well so time is precious. No time for trains or figuring out where to buy tickets. With the guide we were able to get to places quickly by car and understand what we were looking at. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to maximize their trip or have help to navigate China. I will use them again for our next trip!

Lily is a very knowledgeable guide. She provided insightful details to the history of the Terracotta Army and The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. Her ability to navigate the group through the crowds so everyone had the opportunity to see/experience the sites made the tour worthwhile. I skipped the city walk and Muslim Bazaar as I had explored it on my own the day before but I heard it was great from other tourists who were on the same tour. Recommend for anyone visiting Xi’an.

Really good experience. Lily is very professional and accommodating. She ensures we have a pleasant experience, guards away local sellers, and ensures we have enough time at each part of the sites whilst keeping to time. She explains the history in detail and able to answer any questions we have.

Had an amazing tour with Lily - she was so engaging and informative. We spent a good amount of time at each location and did not feel rushed. Was great not having to think about lunch options as it was such a mind blowing experience seeing the scale and beauty of the Terracotta Army. We were very lucky that the crowds were light for this time of year! Will definitely recommend this tour!!

We had a great day on this tour with expert guide Lily. The tour company were great on communication, picked up from hotel on time and our tour only had 6 people so it felt like a private tour and we got to know everyone else. I would highly recommend.
