Amazing China tour
When I first contacted travelchinaguide for a quote Amy replied and became my personal representative. She was amazing and tailored the trip to our precise requests. She helped us with every aspect of organisation and could not have been more helpful. When it came to the holiday we had different reps for every city but they all gave contact details and made our journey through china incredibly easy. The hotels chosen were all excellent and amazing locations for exploring each city. The attractions in China did not disappoint with each exceeding our expectations. I would recommend travelchinaguide to anyone thinking about visiting China as they really look after you for the entire journey
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that Amy tailored your trip to your precise requests and helped with every aspect of the organization.

A Seamless and Memorable First Trip to China
Exceptional Family Tour of China with TravelChinaGuide We booked a family tour of China through TravelChinaGuide in May, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From our very first enquiry through to the final booking, Emily was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional. She patiently guided us through the various tour options, provided valuable suggestions, and ensured the booking process was seamless. Even after the reservation was confirmed, all our questions and requests were addressed promptly and efficiently. Upon arrival in Beijing, we were warmly welcomed by our guide and transferred smoothly to our hotel. The hotel check-in process was effortless, setting the tone for a well-organized journey ahead. Our tour group consisted of 17 travellers from different countries, creating a wonderful and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip. The tour coach was spacious and comfortable, and all the hotels were of a high standard, conveniently located near major attractions. The local guides in each city were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing China’s rich history and culture. They brought every destination to life and made the sightseeing experiences both informative and engaging. The drivers were equally professional, ensuring safe and comfortable travel throughout the tour. One aspect that particularly impressed us was the seamless coordination of intercity travel. Whether travelling by high-speed train or domestic flight, every transfer was handled flawlessly. We were escorted to our departures and warmly received by the next guide upon arrival, making the entire process stress-free. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, combining iconic sights, fascinating cultural experiences, excellent traditional meals, and spectacular shows. As a vegetarian family, we greatly appreciated the care and attention given to our dietary preferences throughout the journey. China is a vast, diverse, and beautiful country, and thanks to TravelChinaGuide and Emily, our first visit was truly memorable. We returned home with wonderful memories and would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to China.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful family journey with us! Emily was absolutely thrilled to read your kind words — she loved helping you plan every detail. We're so happy that from Beijing's warm welcome to the high-speed trains and domestic flights, everything felt stress-free. And hearing that your vegetarian family enjoyed the traditional meals means the world to us. Your 17-member group sounds like such a fun mix! Thank you for trusting TravelChinaGuide with your family's first visit to China. We'd love to see you again!

Third stop Zhangjiajie with wonderful Yolin
The 3 day Zhangjiajie tour with Yolin was magnificent. The beauty of the mountains, the bridge, the cables, escalators, elevators, boat ride will stay in our memory forever. Our guide was kind, patient, offered solutions over long lines and explained local customs and life. Tasting the local cuisine in special restaurants was also a treat thanks to Yolin.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful and heartfelt review. We're thrilled that Yolin's kindness, patience, problem-solving, and local insights – plus the amazing local food – made your 3-day Zhangjiajie tour so magnificent. We're so glad these memories will stay with you forever. We hope to welcome you again!

Visiting Xi’an with amazing guide Lily.
Xi’an was the second city of the small tour to China with Travel China Guide. I can’t recommend enough our tour guide Lily. Her kindness, her promptness and her guidance were amazing. Her knowledge of the history behind the Terracotta Army and the story of Emperor Qin Shi Huang brought the entire experience to life in a way we never could have appreciated on our own. We also really appreciated the attention to detail, from helping us navigate crowds to giving us helpful tips and making sure our departure to the next destination was smooth.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so happy that Lily made your Xi'an experience so amazing. Her kindness, knowledge, and attention to detail—from the Terracotta Warriors to navigating crowds to your smooth departure—truly shine. Lily will be thrilled by your kind words. Thank you for your high recommendation!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
11-Day China Tour of Small Group to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.
How much does 11-Day China Tour of Small Group to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai cost?
+
Prices start at $2389 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 11-Day China Tour of Small Group to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai take?
+
Plan for about 264 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.
Is 11-Day China Tour of Small Group to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 33 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 11-Day China Tour of Small Group to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 11-Day China Tour of Small Group to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 264-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 11-Day China Tour of Small Group to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 264-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 11-Day China Tour of Small Group to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Shanghai start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Beijing?
+
On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Beijing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Beijing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
