Private 16 day tour of China - Booked a private tour that took us to 5-6 cities in china. It was a custom tour and we were met at each station by an english speaking guide and dropped off at the station to be met by our next guide in the subsequent city. The guides were all accommodating and knowledgeable. The trip was great and well organized.

China - from the Qin Dynasty (秦朝) to the 21st century - Round trip: Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Shanghai We were very lucky to experience a phenomenal tour of China with Amalie and her team. The whole organization was absolutely perfect – everything worked out like clockwork, from the first welcome to the last transfer. Even pick-ups at crowded train stations and airports worked smoothly – Chapeau! The hotels were all very well selected: clean, comfortable and centrally located. The vehicles for transfers and day trips were also modern, well maintained and air-conditioned, and our guides were always punctual and courteous. A lot of praise goes to the German-speaking tour guides – all were likeable, knowledgeable and helpful. We would particularly like to highlight Lisa and Wang, who really impressed us with their enormous cultural education. Amalie herself was always available, took all our wishes seriously and implemented with great dedication. #Thank you Amalie# We felt well looked after and always safe. This trip was an unforgettable experience for us – we can recommend Top China Travel and Amalie without restriction!

5-Star Experience - Found Top China Travel agent thru the internet as I was browsing on China land tour arrangements. Was skeptical given it was my first time in dealing with Top China Travel agency that is based in Guilin, China. My email inquiries were addressed promptly by the travel agent manager assigned to me, Ms Joyce Tang. She was proficient in English and gave me tips and advises on best land arrangements, even went out of her way in assisting on our application for China Visa and issued certifications to guarantee our stay while in China. Joyce even assisted us in booking for speed train tickets as we came in China via Hong Kong. as well as tickets on sites that were not part of our tour itinerary Upon arriving in China to our last day, we were hosted excellently as we availed of private land arrangements with van and driver. Our driver, who also acted as our guide for 5 days, was efficient and communication was easy as well as he was conversant in English. He even did side trips on places not part of the itinerary such as the tea farm and old city in Yangshou, which we enjoyed very much. We spent 5 days in Guilin and toured around the city and nearby towns, did the cruise and hiked on terraces. Food in Guilin was great and cheap, too. We were booked at 4-stat hotel (international chain) with location right at the heart of the city. Exploring by foot and by ourselves was easy. For our future China trips, I would definitely engage the services of TCT. Service was efficient, Joyce was very helpful and responsive.

Long Terrace tour and Bamboo raft Li River cruise - Weather was rainy when we visited the Lonji Terraces which did not make for good pictures. River cruise on bamboo rafts cannot handle more than a combined weight of 160kg and you cannot be over 70 years of age.
