I was initially hesitant about using an online travel agency, but the numerous positive reviews for China Discovery encouraged me to try their services. This turned out to be an excellent decision – they are genuinely one of the best travel agencies I've encountered, no exaggeration!

Our consultant, Rita, was outstanding. She even responded to my emails during New Year's! Despite the short notice and a last-minute change I requested, our itinerary was efficiently organised and finalised just three days before departure. Rita's patience and willingness to accommodate our needs were truly remarkable.

Upon arrival in Chengdu, we were greeted by Jane, our tour guide. She was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to assist us in every way possible, making my family and I feel exceptionally welcome.

Our journey included visits to Jiuzhaigou and Chongqing, and in each city, we were guided by different, yet equally impressive guides. Every experience was remarkable, thanks to their expertise and knowledge.

Moreover, the accommodation was excellent; we stayed in very comfortable hotels in every city. I wish I could delve into more details, but to keep it brief – my family and I thoroughly enjoyed every single aspect of our experience with China Discovery.

I wholeheartedly recommend China Discovery and will definitely be booking with them for my next visit to China. They made our trip an unforgettable experience!

We started our planning with Leo our travel consultant. We had many back and forth discussion before we fixed the itinerary. Leo was patient to make multiple changes as well as suggestions during planning.

His response was fast and accurate to our needs. Leo was never pushy nor hasty to close any requests.

During the trip, everything was well arranged, orderly and relaxing. We specifically love the lunch at Wenshufang and Qiang village, relaxing hot spring at Le Meridien, the breathtaking scenery at Bipenggou, and the spectacular culture opera show!

The sky view from Hilton Canopy over Tianfu Square was also magnificent.

The website on China Discoveries is so informative together with Ellen's (guide) tips and suggestions, we can venture to some places outside of our itinerary during free time, covering some of the interesting uniqueness at the locality.

The driver, Da ge and Ellen are outstanding. Our group only had praises.

Reach out to Leo and his colleagues, I’m sure you will have an enjoyable vacation in China.

Very good tour, and China Discovery's communication (before, during, and after the trip) was very good.

We researched many tour providers and (despite a negative review for China Discovery that we saw, which criticised the individual guides rather than the company) went ahead with China Discovery as this tour fitted with our specific needs (starting in HK, and not including flights to/from UK). The trip was a customised 15 day tour to Guilin, Chengdu, Lhasa, Xi'an and Beijing, so if you need something different they should be able to customise. Highlights were:

- Guilin, River Cruise through the Limestone Karst mountains to Yangshuo where we saw a fantastic evening show that was directed by Mr Zhang (director of Beijing Olympics opening ceremony).

- Chengdu, Giant Panda Research Centre, evening show with face-changing.

- Lhasa (Tibet), Potala Palace and monasteries, plus the scenery. This was supposed to be a group tour, but the group was just us!

- Xi'an, Terracotta Warriors, City Walls, Bell and Drum Towers

- Beijing, Great Wall, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, Olympic Park.

By the end of the tour we felt a bit overwhelmed, which was not surprising given the amount packed in!

Our experience of guides was very good, we had a different guide in each city and all were knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to understand. If anything was not clear they would repeat and clarify anything we asked them, they never pressed us to go anywhere we did not want (e.g. shops/side tours/etc.), and the only "complaint" that we had was that at times we felt they walked a bit fast (but never excessively).

As we travelled in the low season (and had to deal with 30C in HK down to -1C in Beijing... -12C with wind chill) all the sights were quite free of tourists which we had not expected from what we had heard of other's experiences touring China.

We would recommend China Discovery (although we think that this could easily depend on whether the individual guides were as good as ours).
