Tour guides are very friendly, accomodative and responsible. Highly recommended to engage China Xian Tour for those who wish to visit Yunnan Province & China.Posted on Da v30 December 2025Verified CXT is a genuine tour company that delivers what it promises. The tour that I participated in was very similar, but it was for 7 days and more or less had the same itinerary. There were only 4 of us on the tour and I had a thoroughly great time. As a history and culture buff, I was impressed with the depth of knowledge of the guides. I also found them friendly and caring. This was especially noticeable when we were climbing up the snow-capped mountains. Lenna even contacted me during the tour to check on my progress. This was most unusual and was greatly appreciated. Talking about Lenna, also reminds me that if it weren't for Lenna, mostly likely, I would not have used China Xian Tours. I would have used a company operating out of Australia, and subject to Australian laws. I was very wary of engaging a company I had found online. In the back of my mind was the question: "Is this legitimate or is it an online scam?". After speaking with Lenna via WeChat a few times, I felt reassured that CXT could be trusted. One of my concerns was because I had seen identical tours being promoted by other companies. It was only after I had joined the tour that I found out that the tour was operated by another Chinese company and not by CXT itself. I think this is one area that CXT may wish to look at. Transparency is very important to build trust with foreign tourists who are wary of online scams. Another suggestion I offer, would be to ensure all the necessary documents have been signed by the clients before the tours begin. I found it annoying to be contacted during a tour and being asked to sign documents sent to the tiny screen on my phone.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
