Bonnie created a wonderful itinerary for our one week private tour of China in September 2019. Corresponding by email with my brother-in-law, Bonnie offered suggestions and alternatives based on our interest in photography, and getting off the beaten path, yet fitting in the major must-see venues. The six of us (me, my wife, my sister, brother-in-law, and another couple) thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and a diverse representation of modern Chinese people. The spoke candidly about life in China, and even a little (but very little) politics. Overall this was definitely a 5-start experience.

I just returned from a whirlwind 8 days in Shangnai, Xi'an, and Beijing, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of this tour company! As a woman traveling alone who doesn't speak Chinese, it was wonderful to know that I had someone looking out for me at each of my stops, plus someone to answer my every question and see to all of my special requests. I was also very pleased with the little extra touches, such as phone calls from my tour organizers Sam and Bonnie, to ensure that everything was going well and that I had no concerns. My guides and drivers were all A+, and when it came time to say goodbye to China, I felt as though I had said goodbye to six good friends. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!

Our group of 6 enjoyed a great, full day tour of Shanghai highlights. China private tour was very responsive to our queries and needs. Our guide was Autumn, who happily shared her extensive knowledge of local culture and history with us. The tour pacing was great. She brought us to a fantastic local dumpling restaurant. We enjoyed the tea ceremony and learning about tea culture. Overall, we highly recommend this tour.

China Private Tour is a great way to explore China. All the staff are very knowledgable and they help you with every aspect of the tour. Efficient use of time with a relaxed attitude. Plenty of imperial experience of history with just enough urban bustle and shopping.

Overall our China travel is very good. The hotel in Beijing (Holiday Inn Central Plaza) is excellent! It will be hard for the next hotels to live up to those standards. Our guide Lily was excellent. She made the trip very easy and very special for us. She went far beyond her responsibilities and even bought a present and a cake for my stepmother's birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed her. Our driver was excellent as well. He was always early and made good suggestions in heavy traffic. He was very friendly, very happy and spoke some English very funny. I'd highly recommend both of them to my friends.

Xian is a wonderful city full of history. It is just amazing. The Terra-cotta Warriors was an amazing experience. I would recommend that all people travelling to China visit Xian. Our guide Lily was amazing! She was so knowledgable. She helped us find a beautiful local painting to bring home. She was very flexible with our schedule and allowed us plenty of time to see everything on our agenda, plus some extra sites. She was very kind and made sure we enjoyed our trip.

Our entire China trip was wonderful. Our guide in Shanghai was also very knowledagable and agreeable and made our stay in Shanghai very special. We will recommend China Private Tour to our friends.

Hello, thanks for writing back. We are pleased to share our comments on our recent China tour with you.

We were offered 2 bottles of water per person per day all through the tour as promised.

All meals were fantastic. I would recommend the show/dinner at Xian and Peking duck dinner in Beijing to friends and family.

Both guides in Beijing and Xian were hard working, very knowledgable and very good at English.

Both cars were really clean and both drivers were very professional and very good drivers.

Additional comments:
We felt that this China trip was extremely satisfactory. Our tour guide in Xian (Lily) was especially good. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to Lily for making our trip so fantastic, we only wished we had more time in Xian.

I am more than happy for you to publish our comments. I am also happy for you to pass my email address to other potential customers who are considering about using your services and want to speak to someone impartial who had been on one of your tours.

Thanks again for a wonderful China experience.

We went on a wonderful day tour with Shanghai Private tours to visit Suzhou and Tongli water town. Simon was our friendly and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We had a wonderful time with Simon we felt that he brought our day to life with his knowledge of the history, his anecdotes and his fun and laugher. We bombarded simon with tons of questions and nothing was too much trouble to answer. He took us around some lovely places such as Gardens, Silk factory and The water town including a boat ride and the lunch that he ordered for us was the loveliest food we had on our entire trip. Definitely the highlight of our holiday and when we return to China again we would love to choose Simon as our tour guide if he is available. Thank you Simon for making our holiday a very memorable and enjoyable experience and also a very big thank you to our driver for his help in getting us to where we were going.

We had the priviledge to have Simon as a guide when we visited Shanghai. He was the most competent guide I have ever had and he was extremely good company at the same time. In a split second he was able to meet our requests and showed us sides of Shanghai that we would never have found ourselves. Thank you Simon and Shanghai Private Tour team.
