Our customised trip - Beijing, Xi'An and Guilin/Yangshuo- was excellent value for money. It was very easy to arrange this through Riley at China Discovery. We usually don't do conducted tours, but glad we did because the language issues can be a bit tricky.
Our very helpful and enthusiastic guides Lisa in Xi'An and especially Nellie in Guilin took complete care of us from the point of arrival to seeing us off at the airport. The first guide we had in Beijing was the opposite, but the company took our feedback on board and ensured we had great guides after that. The highlights were the fabulous lunches we had. Beautiful cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo. On our request, the company also arranged a trip to see locals using cormorants to fish - we'd seen this on National Geographic and were fascinated (although not very fair to the birds I guess). You pass through beautiful countryside on this trip and end up in a lovely little village. If you're pressed for time in Yangshuo, suggest this instead of the Ten Mile gallery and Moon Hill tour. Stay in Yangshuo town if possible - great vibe at night with lights and music and the amazing hills all around.
In Xi'An we really enjoyed a Street near the Would Goose Pagoda - best illuminations we've ever seen, and we've seen a few. So thank you China Discovery for a very well-organised trip. One thing though - wish we had cleaner hotels in Yangshuo and Guangzhou!

Rachel Grant’s Panda Volunteer Experience in Dujiangyan
The distinctive black and white animal is a national treasure in China and one of the rarest, most endangered bears in the world. A one-on-one encounter with a giant panda is a bucket list highlight and a must-do when you are in China. The time I spent witnessing such human dedication is truly eye-opening...
