HelloChinaTrip took care of everything—tickets, cable car, even recommending the best trail to avoid big crowds. Our guide showed us a quiet spot with an amazing view for photos. The weather was a bit foggy, but it actually made the scenery look more mysterious. Absolutely worth it. Laura de la Mora2025-09-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zhoa zhoa fue nuestra guía en la muralla china y todo estuvo espectacular!

HelloChinaTrip arranged a private boat ride, which felt so calm and romantic. Afterwards we visited a local tea plantation and tasted Longjing tea—it was such a unique experience. I really liked how everything felt smooth, no waiting in line or confusion. Perfectly organized. aldi ahza2025-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The landscapes around Guilin are like something out of a painting. HelloChinaTrip organized a river cruise for us, which was breathtaking, and then a bicycle ride through the countryside in Yangshuo. It felt so peaceful riding past rice fields with mountains all around. Our guide Wang was funny and patient, and he even stopped for us to take photos whenever we wanted.

Seeing the pandas in Chengdu was a dream of mine since childhood, and HelloChinaTrip made it happen. Our guide timed the visit perfectly so we caught them playing and eating bamboo instead of just sleeping. She also suggested a hotpot restaurant for lunch—it was spicy but so good! I appreciated that the tour didn’t feel rushed at all. yaya ey2025-09-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had just 3 days in Shanghai, so I wanted to make the most of it. HelloChinaTrip customized the itinerary to fit exactly what I wanted. The night view at the Bund was stunning, and Yu Garden felt like stepping back in time. My guide even helped me get a local SIM card at the airport when I couldn’t figure it out. That kind of small help made me feel very comfortable traveling in a new country. Wahyuni Arista Dewi2025-09-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wasn’t sure what to expect in Xi’an, but the Terracotta Warriors blew me away. They look so alive! HelloChinaTrip’s organization was top notch—our driver was on time, the car was clean, and our guide Mr. Zhang explained everything in perfect English. He also took us to try dumplings afterwards, which were delicious. Only regret is that I didn’t stay longer in Xi’an to explore more. Joseph Lee2025-09-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time using this company and arranged a solo trip to Zhangjiajie from 30 Aug to 5 Sept 2025. Making payment with Alipay was easy and itinerary was flexible since I also wanted to travel to Furong Ancient Town because I heard it was beautiful there at night. The company arranged hotel stays, pick up from airport, train tickets and had a guide/driver to accompany on my visits to the National Forests, Grand Canyon and Furong Town. Price is very reasonable and economical. when I arrived, I felt like a VIP since I was the only tourist with one driver/guide and later found out that this company arranged for 1 to 4 persons by car or more by MPV. I felt safe every step of the way as they continued to communicate with me by sending through WhatsApp the transport and pick-up driver details. I must also thank the driver/guide Mr. Wang De who although spoke to me in Mandarin which I could only catch like 60% but he was overall a good companion during my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and the very once a lifetime beautiful sights. I am planning to visit Tibet next year and I will certainly use this company again. ayu calau2025-09-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Climbing the Great Wall was honestly the highlight of my trip to China. HelloChinaTrip arranged everything from the driver to the entrance tickets, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guide, Lily, had so many fun stories about the history, and she even knew the best spots where it’s less crowded for photos. It was hot that day, but she brought us bottled water which was thoughtful. Truly unforgettable.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
