China Travel Guide 2026

7 Day Yunnan Hani Rice Terraces Tour: Reliable company, book with confidence - and see a China few others see. Great trip of 7 days in Yunnan with a top notch guide. First though - you can trust the company and do expect to pay with PayPal upfront and do so with confidence. Second we used the same company for one day guide in Luoyang - and they were almost the same price as what the local hotel said it would cost if they arranged the guide - so the costs are reasonable, this is what it costs (and the guide was good). On to the trip - our guide had grown up in a family farming rice terraces in her part of Yunnan - you could not have a better fit and she took us off the scenic outlooks and down into the terraces to talk to farmers (and try out some things) and talk with women on break from the fields and take us through the market and chat with vendors (those who spoke Mandarin). Don’t go for the photos - go for the experience and insight into a way of life. Also your hotel, your meals (noodles for breakfast) everything will be local and that is the point of going - not a cruise ship with day trips but an immersion with local insight that makes it all worthwhile.

An Enjoyable and Memorable Journey with an Exceptional Team We had a wonderful trip. Thanks to China Xian Tour agency!

Our tour manager, Ms Nancy Liu, was responsive, communicated clearly in English, and was very accommodating to our needs. She kept in touch throughout both the planning and the trip, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. We truly appreciated her professionalism and support.

We also had an excellent Tour Leader, Mr. Noble Liu, and a very experienced driver, Mr. Li. We thank Xi’an Tour Agency for assigning both of them to us.

Mr. Noble Liu speaks excellent English, and we were very impressed with his professionalism and his depth of knowledge. We, however requested that he conducts the tour in Mandarin, as we felt this would allow for a richer appreciation of China’s history. He was very knowledgeable in China’s history and his insightful explanations gave us a deeper appreciation of the places we visited.

Noble also went above and beyond his duties by accompanying some of us on a hike up HuaShan. Despite the cold and snowy conditions, he braved the elements to accompany us just to ensure our safety at all times. We truly appreciate his kindness and dedication.

Mr. Li was a highly experienced driver and very punctual in his timekeeping. He was also very helpful and took great care when handling our luggage, ensuring that loading and unloading were always done safely and efficiently.
They were a great team!

Together, they made our trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. We are truly grateful for their excellent service. Thank you once again.

Great service from start to finish! Booked directly and was dealing with Sheron, from the very beginning she was fantastic and able to tailor the tour to the certain cites that we wanted to see. From the time of booking and closer to the time of the trip, she had provided us with a WhatsApp and WeChat contact number so we could ask any questions during that time period - even payment to them was nice and easy. Once on the trip, our guide Summer was amazing, she was able to tell us all of the stories and history of Xi’an and even slowed some parts of the tour time to accommodate my elderly parents. Because we were on a small tour of just the 4 of us, they really made it a personable experience. All admission fees were included in the package as well as the driver we had, who once again, was very lovely and recommended good spots to eat out close to our hotel!

Great China Tour with Xi'an Tours We did a 15 days private tour with Xi'an Tours and it was perfectly organized according to our wishes. We could reach Sophia at any given moment for any kind of problems: We were informed during the tour by Hainan Airways that they cancelled our flight back home offering us a flight three days later. We went to the airport to get a Hainan Airlines flight earlier without additional costs. The lady at Hainan's desk refused and wanted us to pay 350$ per person for an earlier flight. In case of staying three days longer, the lady refused to pay for hotel and boarding. She also declined that we could talk directly with a manager.
Thanks to a tour guide of Xi'an Tours who contacted a manager of Hainan Airlines by phone, we could get an earlier flight without additional payment.
The tour guides were generally well informed, very friendly and helpful. Our trip included Beijing, Xi'an, Zhiaojiajie, Tianmen mountain. Chongqing, Guilin, Yaoshang and Shanghai. The trip was reasonably priced, extremely well managed by Sophia, the hotels were well selected, same for the sites we were visiting. So we can wholeheartedly recommend this agency: not as big as the top three, but probably at least at the same level and a bit cheaper..

Exceptional Xi'an We had an absolutely incredible experience on Maggie’s tour of Xi'an — truly one of the highlights of our entire trip to China!
Maggie was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Xi’an. Her storytelling brought everything to life, especially at the Terracotta Warriors — she didn’t just explain what we were seeing, she helped us understand the significance behind it all in a way that really stuck with us.
She was also incredibly attentive and organized, making the entire day feel seamless and stress-free. From timing to transportation to little personal touches, everything was handled perfectly. We never felt rushed, and she made sure we had time to take it all in, ask questions, and enjoy the experience.
What really stood out was how personable she was — it felt less like a tour and more like exploring with a very knowledgeable friend. She even gave us great local tips and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day.
If you’re visiting Xi’an, I cannot recommend Maggie enough. This tour exceeded all expectations and left us with unforgettable memories!

Unforgettable experience Everything was great. My coordinator Sophia was patient throughout the months of planing. Couldn’t have done it without her. Our guides are really knowledgeable. Having the opportunity to listen to them share about their culture, it piqued my interest the rich history of China.

Guilin: special shoutout to Samantha and 陈师傅. They are very friendly and engaging. We even went on a scooter ride tgt. That was really an enjoyable experience for my folks. Though our time together was short, we felt that they really tried their best to integrate us into the culture of Guilin. It was a joy to travel with them.

Nanning: special shoutout to Dora and 农师傅. Even though this part of the trip was more physically demanding, Dora was very patient with us bearing in mind that we have senior citizens in our tour group. Furthermore, she took the effort to arrange a short tour of Mingshi city. This tour was a very pleasant surprise. We really appreciate Dora for her eye for detail. It makes things so much easier when we transit from lodging to lodging.

Thank you so much Sophia , Samantha, Dora, 陈师傅 and 农师傅. I wish you guys all the best and I hope that we will be able to travel tgt down the road when we visit next time.

Regards,
Kevin

Flawless organization and 5-star service across China! We had an incredible experience with China Xian Tour. They organized a seamless itinerary for us, including a day tour in Xi'an, a driver in Chengdu, and a transfer in Guizhou.

Our guide in Xi'an was wonderful—extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history come alive. They also handled our tickets for the 'Legend of the Camel Bell' and 'Song of Everlasting Sorrow' shows, which were spectacular.

What impressed us most was the logistics. Even though our drivers didn't speak English, the agency set up a WeChat group to provide real-time support for any language or organizational needs. Booking was easy as they accept PayPal, which is a huge plus for those without Alipay.

A huge thank you to Maxie for the perfect planning and support. This agency made our trip stress-free and enjoyable!

Amazing tour of Harbin and Ice & Snow Festival The tour was a 4-day experience of the city of Harbin and the Ice & Snow festival happening at that time.
To put it simply, it was amazing and extremely well put together. Our guide was very passionate and knowledgeable and that made the whole trip even better.
I would recommend wholeheartedly the visit of the Ice & Snow Festival: it is truly unique and straight out of a fairytale.
Communicating with China Xian Tour was super easy and always very reactive. Sophia was very helpful and caring from the very first inquiry until the very end of the trip: we couldn't have been in better hands and felt very well taken care of the whole tip.
I consider it one of the best trips of my life and can't wait to come back to visit more of China, and I'd definitely use China Xian Tour to organise my future trips there!
