Best Tour Guide in China - Ryan was our tour guide and he was very knowledgable about the places we went: the history and the backstory of it. We would recommend him to friends and family who would like to visit China and use a tour guide. We will definitely ask him to guide us for our next visit to China!

Two Days Private Tour in Shanghai. - Shanghai was our first two days of a 22-day private tour of China, all arranged by Travel China. Sally Si was our consultant and patiently worked with us to build an itinerary designed just for us. Martin was our guide in Shanghai, and we had made contact with him through the app WeChat prior to our arrival. We got into Shanghai international airport and Martin was waiting at the gate with our name on a board, and the driver and car was waiting close by the doors. Martin was excellent. Being the first city of our visit to China, we had lots of questions and he was very helpful. We discussed our next two days, and, at our request, didn’t go to the hotel first but we’re straight into things with a visit to the Shanghai Tower. The view from the top was awesome. Martin helped us with planning a visit to the Yu gardens (which wasn’t on our itinerary ) and took us first to the hotel to drop our bags, then dropped us in the area of the Yu Gardens with a good plan on how to do things, get lunch, and get back to the hotel via a walk along the Bund. We enjoyed Yu Gardens, had our first try at local food, and enjoyed the long walk back to the hotel along the river. We wanted to go to an evening show, and on Martins advice went to Shanghai Circus World. Martin bought the tickets for us online, then turned up at the Hotel in the evening to help us get a Taxi (DiDi) and rode with us to the event. He was willing to wait for us outside to ensure we got back ok, but we had now learnt DiDi so we’re confident we could get back fine. The show was a lot of fun, quite spectacular, and we recommend it. The next day Martin first took us to the French Concession area for a tour on foot, then drove us out to the Zhujiajia water town. This was a historic town, now mainly markets of food and art. Very interesting and we stayed a few hours exploring. Martin then took us to a hotel that was at ‘the centre of Shanghai’, something that was not on our itinerary. We then went to one of the Shanghai train stations to catch a bullet train to our next destination. Our tickets had been pre booked and linked to our passports, and we used our passports to get into the station, then (20 minutes prior to train departure) through the right gate and onto the train platform. The station was huge and impressive. The trains even more so, and run exactly on time. Martin saw us through right to the correct gate and waited until we had got through the gate. He was extremely helpful. We enjoyed Shanghai. It’s modern, clean, spectacular at night, and certainly worth visit. We highly recommend Martin as a tour guide. He did so much extra for us, and did everything he could to accomodate our wishes. His WeChat ID is wxid_0dreuo4qizt22 or ‘Martin0804’.

An amazing family trip! - We visited Shanghai for two days and had the best time. We especially enjoyed the Shanghai Tower, Yuyuan Garden, and walking along the Bund. Our extremely nice guide, Sophie, made the experience in Shanghai excellent, telling us about the history and life in the city and being so helpful. Thank you, Travel China Guide and Sophie, for making our stay in China so exceptional.

Private 2 days Shanghai tour organised by China Highlights - Private 2 days Shanghai tour organised by China Highlights and guide Ms. Mulane : I visited Shanghai in Dec. 2022. I would like to praise the company Chine highlights and especially Ms. Mulane who was my guide for two days. I visited Perl tower, Chinese acrobatic show and Water city. The guide was very flexible and did her best to provide to me the best possible and safe service. She even waited for me till 22:00 after the acrobatic show to take me to the hotel, which was 1-hour drive away. It was wonderful experience amid of covide-19 epidemic.
