Sichuan Travel Reviews on Tripadvisor.com

China is one of our best trips so far and thanks to China Discovery who made our trip so memorable, fantastic and wonderful.

No words can express our appreciation and satisfaction to China Discovery. They are simply extremely professional.

I contacted few agencies and had conversations with China Discovery via emails.

After that I checked the reputation of China Discovery to make sure it is a good company. I didn’t see a lot of followers on FB and not many reviews on either FB or TripAdvisor. But I found few good reviews and the reason that I decided to book China Discovery is Tracy - the travel consultant of CD. She is so professional, responsive, helpful, detailed, easy to discuss and so patient.

We were so happy with my decision. Our trip was so easy, so well-organized. They looked after us so well, we got picked up at every station, airport. All tour guides are knowledgeable, friendly, kind and helpful and speak English well. They are very experienced. 2 weeks went out so smoothly without any mistakes. Everything was flawless.

They always checked with us what we wanted, how we liked things, make sure we were all happy.

We were definitely happy and satisfied. U go on holiday to enjoy, not to suffer and get frustrated with tickets bookings, and access everywhere. Also we need good tour tour guides to explain us about things coz China is so rich in history, culture and more.

So just leave your trip onto CD’s hand. Trust me, They will make u happy for sure.

Highly recommended and it is worth every cent. It is totally value for money.

P/S: I will book China Discovery again if I go back to China. I already have plans for few more trip to visit other parts of China. I love China.

14 days Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Mount Emei, Guilin, Yangshuo, Longsheng, Shanghai. Travel consultant Wing Zeng has arranged the tour and arrangements were perfect. Selection of hotels were comfortable, sightseeing itinerary were perfect. The local chinese foods recommended by the tour guide were delicious and it was a different experience. All the tour guides are more experienced (Lily ~ Beijing, Waldner ~ Xian, Sarah ~ Chengdu, Lyla ~ Gulin, Mark ~ Shanghai). It was a memorable tour.

From our very first contact with China Discovery their travel consultant Mr Wonder Wang was so helpful and adaptive to our needs.

We booked a Private tour to Leshan Giant Buddha and Huanglongxi Ancient Town because my husband has mobility problems and we wanted to be able to plan the day to suit our own requirements.

This is exactly what happenned.

Our guide for the day was Jane. She was at our hotel exactly on time as arranged.

She listened to our needs and understood what we wanted from the day . Her English was perfect and she was friendly and courteous at all times.

We took the boat trip to see the Giant Buddha, had lunch together in a great restaurant and spent the afternoon slowly walking around the ancient village in Huanglongxi.

Booked a 3 week private tour with china discovery. Originally booked for 2020 but postponed due to COVID. China discovery were great holding the holiday until we were able to go. Once we got to china we had an amazing time the tour guides were all excellent and knowledgeable, the stories and history of this country is amazing. The scenery is beautiful and the sites we visited exceeded our expectations.

We have booked two days with China Discovery in Chengdu and had a wonderful time. The organization was very good and our tour guide and driver also. We saw and learn a lot on our tours. I really can recommend this company.

We went to China with China Discovery (Chengdu) and used their services in Beijing, Xian and Chengdu.

I really really recommend them, as a westerner China can be an intimidating place to visit, we are from the UK and VISAs are tricky to get as you have to visit the China VISA centre in London twice.

But Phoebe was immensely helpful in booking our trip and providing the documentation which we needed to provide to the chinese govt for the complicated VISA process. Phoebe was always courteous and quick to respond. She also provided a customised Itinerary which was perfect for us, lots of history and Pandas!

Five star service and more affordable by far than all western providers. Moreover, at the end of our trip Phoebe sent us a gift bag with wonderful chinese gifts in! I have never known a travel company do this before and the cute souvenirs now have pride of place in my home.

China is just amazing, I have travelled a lot of the world (Brazil, Africa, Middle East, America, SA Asia, Europe) and China is the safest I have ever felt in any country including my own. People are respectful, the sites are amazing, infrastructure fantastic and it is also the cleanest place I have ever been!

We were picked up from the airport by our guide & driver and from then on everything logistically and all tickets and entry to sites were handled by the guides.

We took bullet trains between the respective cities and our guides purchased our tickets and helped us to the correct platform and departure lounge (chinese train stations are like european airports - very large).

Our guides all spoke great English, were always punctual, friendly and informative, helping us order food in restaurants and guiding us the whole way.

Drivers drove safely and picked us up quickly at all destinations. Hotels were great and up to American 4 star standards I would say.

Honestly, I was so impressed by this company and their staff and I really recommend using them. China is a wonderful interesting country and I hope to go back again one day. I will be using China Discovery as well!

UK couple in our 30s

For our second trip to China (more to come) we chose China Discovery agency to arrange and customize our tour (10 days)...one word to describe everything: EXCELENT! April, the travel agent, done amazing job to make our trip enjoyable and unforgettable...Thank you for all, and see you next time!

Decided to choose China Discovery after reading great reviews on TripAdvisor and I was glad I chose them. Rita Jiang was my travel consultant and she was very patient with all my questions and changes made to our travel itinerary. We exchanged numerous emails for a few months before our trip.

We visited Huanglong National park, Jiuzhaigou, Leshan, Emei and Hailuogou. The guides provided by them, Mary and Michael Wu were knowledgeable and friendly. They go out of their way to ensure we had a worry free tour. All the logistics of the tour was nicely arranged. The sights were nice and crowd not too big especially in Hailuogou. The drivers also drove safely on those twisty, narrow mountain roads. Overall, a great experience traveling with China Discovery!

Tour guide Tony in ZJJ was wonderful! He was very chatty and friendly. He helped us skip the long queues and brought us to see the sights through less crowded trails. He was very resourceful, full of energy and very helpful to my husband who was on walking . The drivers were fine and drove well.

Tour coordinator April Zou was clear and very quick to reply to my emails.

We have had a great time in our travels visiting the most popular destinations in Sichuan province and in the beautiful and vibrant modern metropolitan city of Chengdu, the hometown of giant pandas. Chengdu also has several ancient historical sites, zesty food and relaxing atmosphere.The diverse natural beauty, picturesque landscapes and snow-capped view at Jiuzhai Valley National Park, Huanglong Scenic Area and Mt. Emei were amazingly stunning and truly unforgettable. The Giant Buddha at Leshan and the ancient Dujiangyan Irrigation Systems are magnificent for a visit.

Everything in our trip worked out well. Thanks to China Discovery and the efficient planning and support from travel agent Rita, who had put together our customized private travel itinerary which was well paced and enjoyable. She had organized everything perfectly and resolved most of our concerns promptly. The 12 days Sichuan vacation was our second China tour organized by China Discovery. Hotel stays were of above average class and were conveniently located nearby commercial centers and ‘popular food outlets. Our English speaking guides and drivers were knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to our needs. We highly recommend China Discovery to all of those who are looking for comfort and a stress-free holiday arrangement. In fact,we are already planning for another trip to China in April 2025.

From the time of contacting China Discovery tours, to completion of our tour, I can not be more grateful and thankful to an exceptional touring team. Kelly our tour organiser was professional, realistic and accommodating. Her itinerary was perfect and always explained matters clearly ensuring each day of our tour was well paced to our liking but also enriching as I was travelling with my elderly mum and daughter. She also changed our itinerary according to our needs and kept us updated throughout our time in China. Due to unforseen circumstances there were certain planned activities which my my mum couldn't complete. Kelly and her team accommodated more appropriate activities and arranged refund accordingly ( which I was not expecting at all ). The tour was transparent with no hidden agenda. At each city both the tour guide and drivers were consistently knowledgeable and helpful. Understood local flavours and foods and recommended accordingly. From time of pick up to touring to arranging transfers. I would recommend this tour company for any visit to China.

We wanted to visit different places in China and contacted China Discovery. Jack Li was our consultant and was very responsive to our queries and even provided valuable recommendations to our family of 5 people travelling. We discovered a lot through our local guides (Eric in BeiJing, Lisa in Xian, Ruby in Chengdu, Jeff in HuangLong, Gigi in JiuZhaiGou and Jacques in ChongQing) and drivers, not only of the sights, but also the food/local delicacies. The guides could speak English/French and Chinese which was very helpful for my parents. Jack informed the guides that my parents were elderly, and they were all very considerate and flexible in the daily plans to accommodate us. We also went on a cruise on Yangtze River, arranged by China Discovery. All the transfers (airport to hotels by van, or train tickets between cities) and entrance fees to the sights being visited were arranged by China Discovery so we had nothing to worry about. We booked our own hotels, although this could also have been arranged by the consultant. I would recommend China Discovery and Jack Li to help you plan for a hassle-free trip to China. Thank you again.

We are happy with China Discovery having April Zou as our travel consultant who is understanding and flexible to our changes to the itinerary, prompt response to our emails and making sure pickups at all arrival points. With her flexibility to swap the itinerary, we get to capture the beautiful views of the main highlights at the Avatar Mountains and Huangshi Village on our last days instead of visiting them on the first few days. April has the personal touch to arrange a birthday cake to celebrate at a dinner for one member from our group that falls during the tour dates. :)

Bree is a 5-star guide that can communicate well with us in English and Mandarin. We could only vouch that she is a responsible guide eg. She led us all the way to the Red Cloud Summit at Fanjingshan despite unfavourable weather conditions on that day with strong winds and heavy fog because she was concerned for our safety as it was wet and foggy. We truly appreciate her kind effort to take good care of us from the start by greeting us at the train station in her Miao traditional outfit + headwear and having a neat appearance throughout the trip. Knowing upfront that we could not take too spicy food, showing us the best viewpoints to take good photo shots, helping us to take many nice group photos and arranging us to leave the hotel early for those days when big crowds are expected at the Avatar and Tianmen Mountains. We greatly appreciate that she walked the extra miles for our group of 7 that we are comfortable and safe throughout the entire trip.

There are two drivers swapping on certain days. There is flexibility that at one shopping night, the driver fetched us back to the hotel. The only setback my friends brought up was that the comfortable vehicle that fetched us on the first 3 days was swapped to another vehicle (which is not so comfortable) especially on the long drive from Fenghuang to Wulingyuan.

Overall, we are happy with the program that is well spaced out to see most of the beautiful sights of all the attractions listed in the itinerary. Everyone came back with beautiful memories and travel experiences of the majestic China! Thank you for accommodating us to a wonderful and smooth holiday tour. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful trip in China as expertly arranged by Jack Li. Jack was flexible with multiple changes to our itinerary, some on short notice as well. Throughout the trip he was promptly responsive and attentive to our needs. The hotel and travel arrangements exceeded our expectations, and the hotel locations were all central which made it easy for us to self-explore on our free time in the evenings.

The local guides in Beijing (Linda), Luoyang (Fey), Chengdu (Nicole) and Chongqing (David and Jasmine) were excellent. They were friendly, spoke English and flexible as well. Fey arranged a surprise birthday cake for me during the trip which was so sweet! Nicole was very patient and attentive to my parents when they struggled during some mountain trips, which I really appreciated.

I highly recommend China Discovery to anyone planning a trip there, it will save so much time and thinking!

China Discovery did an amazing job of our recent trip to Sichuan. From our very first interaction with Phoebe at China Discovery the whole process was super smooth and totally professional. Everything was perfectly organised. We found them to be very helpful and generous in the way they dealt with us and I would highly recommend them.

My wife and I just completed a 21-days China tour from HK to Beijing with China Discory. From the start, our trip consultant, Jack Li, did a wonderful job of keeping us informated of trip options and pricing. His responses were always prompt. China Discovery toke care of all the planning including transportations, hotels, and entry tickets to sites. Local drivers picked us up and dropped us off at each location. When we had some minor glitch in pickups, I could always communicate with Jack for assistnace.

All of our local guides were excellent and engaging! They provided information on sites, cultures, histories, people, and foods. They helped us navigate the no-so-easy access to local attractions and best way to avoid the overwheming crowds at many sites. For this trip, they were the heart of China Discovery and made the trip enjoyable and meaningful! All of our local guides were independent workers but they all liked working for China Discovey because it is very responsive to their issues and customer issues.

Our local guide at Zhangjaijei even helped us navigate the Chinese health system when my wife had to visit a hospital for an unexpected illness. He took us to the hospital at night, stayed with us through the visit, and brought us back to the hotel after the visit.

In my opinion, China Discovery is the best way to visit China if you don't have local connections or comfortable with the Chinese language. Let them do all the hardwork and you just show up and go!

I found China Discovery in Facebook China group travel... At first I a bit sceptical since so many scam in Facebook... But after exchange email with my first agent (Samantha at the first time serve me, but she already resign now) she make me confident that I choose the right company... The way she explain make me sure that this company not scam... But in the middle unfortunately she resigned and her colleague Wonder Wang become my consultant .. He also very good at his job.. And patiently answered all of my questions and also fast reply ... We went to Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Dagu Glacier, and Siguniang with my guide Jason which also very good at his job!! We love everything that they arrange for us... I think now we become friend already... Recommended tour company...100% trusted and not scam!! Don't worry to use their services.

A group of 8 of us took a multi-cities tour in China (Chengdu, Chongqing, Yangtze River Cruise, Zhangjiajie and Guangzhou), with all the logistics and sightseeing arranged by China Discovery. From the time we arrived at the airport in Chengdu to the conclusion in Guangzhou, our group was amazed by the coordination of local guides at different locations. From check-ins to sightseeing--no details were left unattended. Hotels were very nice, clean and comfortable with excellent breakfast included. The group had such a great time, took a lot of spectacular scenic pictures that we'll treasure in our memories for a long, long time. Everyone had such a great time that we all look forward to visiting China again--working with China Discovery, of course.

Very good and recommended, especially for our guide Jason, he was very helpfull and informative about the location, everyone in our group was very satisfied with his service. Also for the driver, he was careful and drove safely even though it was late at night. Thank you China Discovery for giving us great memories.

An excellent company.

We were a little scared beause we are from Chile, South America, and the possibility that the tour were an scam it was present, however it works perfectly, our agent, Tracy Tan, help us in every moment to do the itinerary and with every question we had in the progress.

Our guides had an incredible good spanish and were excellent, with a lot of knowdlege for the sites we visited and a lof of tips to stay in China.

I recommend this company with eyes closed, a very good experience and helped us to had a really good time in China.

My email to China Discovery started in April, 2024 for a trip to Cheng du in September. Our travel consultant Phoebe Gao from Chengdu office was patience and extremely helpful. She had put together our customised private tour travel itinerary which was very well organised, well paced and very enjoyable. Pheobe is always prompt in replying any queries that i had. There was a little hiccup along the way but it was quickly resolved by Phoebe. She even went an extra mile to help us book for 蜀宴赋 after our tour ended.

In fact, i am already contacting her for another trip to Harbin in Feburary 2025, that shows how happy and satisfied i am with them.

My husband and I have just returned to Canada after a memorable and fulfilling trip to the magical and surreal terrain of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong (altitude 5K meters) in Sichuan province, southwestern China. We were part of a fairly large group of Canadians on an 18-day tour of China, which began and ended in Beijing, with an emphasis on the eastern provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi. While contemplating whether to visit major urban areas such as Shanghai or Tianjin, or the resort-like Hainan Island, after the initial 18-day tour, a photo of Jiuzhaigou flashed across my PC monitor. I was mesmerized, as Jiuzhaigou has been on my radar. Realizing that our timing would be in late September, I began actively researching how to make it happen. A bit of a snag here, as our trans-Pacific flights had been booked months prior, I had to ensure that our dates in Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong were firm, that the travel operator we chose was trustworthy.

I stumbled upon China Discovery, read numerous travellers’ review, which had reinforced my trust. I made an initial inquiry in early June 2024, and Rita Jiang responded within 24 hours. Rita exhibited professionalism and expertise by asking all the right questions. Through multiple email exchanges and online discussions, we firmed up our 6-day itinerary September 23-28, 2024, visiting Jiuzhaigou, Huanglong, Emeishan and LeShan Buddha. Our return flight dates (to Canada) removed any flexibility for joining a group, therefore, ours became a 2-person private tour.

We had considered flying from Beijing to Chengdu, the jump-off point to Jiuzhaigou. I was surprised at the pricey domestic airfare within China. We then chose the high-speed train as our mode of transport for the 9/23-9/28/2024 itinerary. The major deterrent was that, seats on China trains are released only 15 days prior. We chose to travel 1st class, as the rates were not much higher than 2nd class, yet much more modest than Business Class seats. Logistically, we would have been unable to get online to book our train seats to Jiuzhaigou, while we were still on the tour with fellow Canadians.

I delegated our itinerary between 9/23 and 9/28 to Rita Jiang at China Discovery, all transfers, including an 8-hour high-speed train on 9/28, upon conclusion of our 6-day trip, which brought us from Chengdu, Sichuan province, to Hong Kong, where we would fly back to Canada.

Rita delivered, professionally and seamlessly. Upon full payment of our excursion in late August 2024, Rita sent us a formal contract, outlining the entire itinerary, with English-language guide and driver on 4 sightseeing days, and driver only for transfers on day #1 and day #6. We communicated via WeChat while inside China. She sent us our train schedules via WeChat.

Our guides were absolutely fantastic. A HUGE “shout out” to Evan from Chengdu. Evan spoke impeccable English, has a strong command of English and an extensive English vocabulary. We appreciated his knowledge, expertise and extra care he took to accompany us to Emeishan and LeShan Buddha. Danny in Jiuzhaigou provided good service. The 3 drivers Rita had engaged were prompt and professional. The SUV’s deployed to ferry us back-and-forth were new, well-maintained, clean and tidy. Our itinerary covered 2-2.5 hours’ driving distance between the recently inaugurated Jiuzhaigou Huanglong Rail Station to Jiuzhaigou and back, also 2.5 hours’ drive between Chengdu and Emeishan.

I would readily engage Rita Jiang and China Discovery for any of my future travel planning and execution plans in China. Thumbs up to Rita Jiang and her team of professionals.

Leo Li kindly arranged a private tour for us (my girlfriend and myself) providing a driver and a guide for us at every city we visited. The guides were very informative, but, more importantly, they became our friends as they helped give us a deeper understanding of their lovely country. We are especially grateful that Leo was able to “squeeze in” a tour of the fabled Silk Road, an area which few Westerners visit and was a highlight our trip. Thank you, Leo, for making this a memorable trip.

Wonder Wang from China Discovery was assigned to us as our travel consultant.

He was friendly, professional, flexible and attentive to all our requirements. He went above and beyond for us, nothing was ever too much.

We visited Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Chongqing, Yichang, and Shanghai. The hotels, transfers, personal tour guides for each City, and cruise were great and all very well planned.

All our questions, in advance, and during the trip were responded to over email very quickly and we felt very well looked after by a profession team.

Our itinerary was over 13 days, visiting Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Chongqing, a Yangtze river cruise and Shanghai. We got to see and experience a lot in that time. The local guides were fantastic in their knowledge, English and were very helpful. The drivers were very prompt and provided smooth transfers.

A huge plus point for us was the constant communication, our emails were answered by Wonder very swiftly and even during our trip, there were changes to our flights, etc. which Wonder handled so efficiently. This certainly put our minds at ease!

We would like to thank the whole team at China Discovery for all their hard work in providing such a special experience for our first time in China and for all the kind gifts and birthday cake for my wife!

Highly recommended tour company. Top notch customer service. If only every country had a China Discovery

We would definitely use them again!

Kelly Zheng did a wonderful job organizing everything. She listened to all of my requests and I had a phenomenal time traveling through China. I had different local guides in each area - Luoyang to Yuntai Mountain (Gavin was great), Kimi in Xian, and Ben in Mt. Emei and Chengdu. They all shared interesting information about the history and culture of China, and personal stories and suggestions that made me feel like I was visiting friends and having them share their favorite places with me. They were very accommodating with rearranging the schedule based on the needs of the moment. Fantastic at pointing out vegetarian friendly treats in all of the places. Continuing to go the extra mile to make the trip special throughout the tour. Highly recommend.

This was my second personalised trip with China Discovery and Evelyn Ma was a tremendous help in organising the itinerary. My guide was Gao Jing who was very attentive and knowledgeable of the two attractions at Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou scenic areas. She was very fit physically as we explored several hiking trails. Both areas are of amazing natural beauty. Taking the bus to explore the different attractions in Jiuzhaigou requires a good command of putonghua.

China Discovery delivered on every promise. We loved our visit to China and our private tour with China Discovery made that happen. Very nice hotels, great breakfasts, extremely nice guides. Can not say enough good things about the company organization

Booked our 2 day private tour with China Discovery. Our contact Kelly Zheng was friendly and responsive and catered to all our requests. Our guide Kevin was knowledgeable and friendly and went the extra mile to make other arrangements for a cultural show after our tour. We don’t usually expect much for the inclusive lunch but this time it was excellent with great food and environment. Overall great value booking this package with China Discovery. Highly recommended.

Cannot be more satisfied with Ms Wing Zeng from China Discovery, Chengdu. She always answered our mails patiently, promptly. Professional. Will definitely use China Discovery again for our next tour to China. Thank you for making our China tour memorable.

I can't praise China Discovery enough. Fantastic in every detail.

We were a family of four who wanted to visit China. We came with a list of things we wanted to do; ranging from the obvious, Great Wall, to the more obscure, Chinese Opera, from the active, cycling around Xian, to the passive, cruising down the Li River.

Right from the start Rita was superb, organising an itinerary and adapting it as we asked for more. She was the model of efficiency and always accommodating to our desires. Everything was organised superbly, faultless.

We ended up with a 5 city stay. Every guide and driver at each location was fantastic. Kai, Timo, Kevin and Peter all had good English, excellent local knowledge and were all punctual and polite throughout. They were also flexible enough to meet our needs and still complete all our chosen activities. It was frenetic, but absolutely superb.

Each hotel was really good quality and we couldn't fault any of them. Clean, friendly and efficient, they all got the thumbs up, giving us both privacy and family time. Their locations were superb, allowing us to go out and explore on our own on some evenings. Particular mention must go to The Bamboo Leaf, the perfect end to a non-stop 10days, quiet and friendly, a special place to relax on the last night.

It really was a superb trip and I haven't even mentioned our tour; The Great Wall, chairlifts & toboggans, 798, Tiananmen Sq., Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, rickshaws around the Beijing Hutongs, Summer Palace, Terracotta Army, Xian Mosque and City Wall, Dumpling dinner and Tang Palace Dance, Buddhist Temple, Museum, Sichuan dinner and Chinese Opera, Renmin Park, Chengdu Panda Reserve, River Li Cruise, Karst scenery, bamboo rafting, shopping on West Street, Impression Liu Sanjie Show, Reed Flute Cave... and bullet trains!

Highly recommend China Discovery for any of their experiences. We worked with Phoebe to organize a Panda Volunteer program at the Dujiangyan Panda Conservatory. Phoebe helped organize everything online month before and Linda guided us throughout the experience on the day of. Linda was such a fun personality. She was very insightful on everything pandas and we learned a ton!

I booked a private family tour from China Discovery visiting Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong national park in July. The agent Phoebe was very patient and thorough answering my inquiries and helped us customized the itinerary. We were very happy with the driver and tour guide Danny for the well planned wonderful. We visited so many beautiful places with long lasting memories. I would highly recommend China Discovery and Phoebe for anyone wants to visit the best places in China!

We would like to thank you and your team for making our trip to China so special and enjoyable. Every tour guide and driver we met was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

We had a fantastic week in China exploring some of the amazing sights as well as tasting the different regional foods

I would also like to thank you for your quick replies during the booking stages during the months leading up to our visit.

When we come to China again in the future, we would use China discovery again and will recommend your company to our friends.

Many thanks

China Discovery was A- Plus in organizing our 9 day trip to China . From the 1st email to boarding the plane home. they were with us all the way. Helping with visas, translating, information, and photo-taking, check-ins at train and plane stations. . Suggestions for shows, dinners , restaurants, and excursions. Leo, Linda, Timo, Bei, and Sandy were fabulous . They were funny, informative, welcoming and willing to go the extra mile for us. Will definitely be using China Discovery on our next trip to China.

We took this tour and another tour to Zhangjiajie (3 days) with China Discovery. We had a wonderful time. Our guides Ana and Jane were very patient with all our questions, including from our curious 8 year old. They took very good care of us in the hot weather – cool rest stops, water etc, and introduced us to local snacks and coconut Luckin Coffee! At one point little one was poorly and our guide helped us get the right medicine for him at the pharmacy. On another occasion we were late to an evening theatre variety perfomance (Sichuan opera) because of an accident on the road in front of us driving there. Although we were very late, we saw the second half of the performance and our guide managed to get us into the beginning of the next show on the same evening, so that we were able to see all the acts and didn't miss anything. We had no problems booking the trips from abroad (Switzerland), and our agents Vivien and Wonder were highly responsive and helpful.

My mom and I recently completed a 3 week dream trip to China. I worked with Mr. Leo Li to customize our trip to see everything we wanted to (the Great Wall, terracotta warriors, pandas, and Shanghai) and asked for some additional recommendations for our trip. Throughout the 3 weeks we explored Beijing, Xi'an, Cheongdu, a yangtze river cruise, Shanghai, and Guilin (if you are going to China do not miss Guilin! It is stunning). Leo was so accommodating, responsive, and helpful each step of the way. We opted for a private tour for the three weeks and it was so nice having a tour guide and driver for just the two of us, especially in the high tourist areas. If you're considering traveling to China, I cannot recommend China Discovery and Leo enough!

Thank you Chengdu Bamboo International Tour for making my trip so wonderful especially Ms Phoebe and her teams. It was a very special experience for panda volunteer program i love it.

In May, a friend and I visited China. And China Discovery organized an amazing trip for us! It was definitively one of the best trips we've ever had.

We've spent a total of 3 weeks in China, with 1 week around Beijing, one week around Zhangjiajie and 1 week in Sichuan. What I really appreciated was that we could help to shape up the itinerary to our own liking. On their website they have fast amounts of information about the different regions and sights in China, so I was easily able to identify the places to go to. Evelyn helped me to connect them together in a coherent and single trip!

Furthermore, this also means that China Discovery can bring you to some of the places that other tour agencies might skip. We've for example visited the great wall without any other tourists at Jinshanling (tip!), Visited amazing temples in Chengde, climbed Fanjingshan and went to the beautiful lakes and falls of Jiuzhaigou!

Also during the trip the service was great. Evelyn ensured we got great hotels in all of our destinations. All of the hotels were around the 4+ star segment with comfortable beds and good breakfasts.

During the trips we were supported by local drivers and guides. They are obviously most knowledgeable about the sights in their own city and region! Each and every guide was very friendly and had great control over the English language. They were also very willing to accomodate our wishes and make changes when requested. For example, we decided to visit several impressive shows during our trip that were not in the original itinerary.

What was also very convenient is that these guides came to pick us up and drop us off at the airports or stations where we arrived or were departing to a new destination. The great organization really helped us to destress and focus on visiting the beautiful nature and history that China has to offer.

Once again, this was one of the best trips we've ever had. I can highly recommend China Discovery and Evelyn!

We're looking forward to visit China again in the future, and we'll be sure to do so with them again!

I have just returned from a wonderful, wonderful 12-day trip to Sichuan and Gansu starting in Chengdu. All the connections and appointments were perfect with no problems. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and courteous.

As a solo traveller we were able to make small detours to suit my requests. So, thanks Rita and all concerned for making it a fabulous experience.

Phoebe helped us plan a great day trip that included panda volunteering and seeing the irrigation system nearby. We had a great driver and guide with us the whole day. It was also the most reasonably priced panda volunteer tour I found after extensive research. Go to their website and email them to make a custom tour!

Wolong Panda Base Private Day Tour was one of my best experience with the Pandas. Learned on preparing those bamboos and WowoGor, a special bread made specially for the pandas.

The 8 hours long encounter with those pandas was mind blowing. I would like to thank Ms. Gila and Ms. Kelly for organizing this memorable trip for me. Thank you so much. I did a Live YouTube video during my trip here via my YouTube channel @DanielHYNg

We are a group of 8 people from different countries. Our 15 days trip started from Xinning and ended in Zhangjiajie.

We had a great trip with China Discovery which arranged a great tour for us, so our trip went smoothly and well. Many thanks to Rita Jiang, our travel consultant, who provided excellent service, such as fast response and good planning according to our wishes.

We visited Zhangye, Tibet, Jiuzhaigou and Zhangjiajie. All our local guides and drivers were friendly and very helpful. They were always there waiting for our arrival at the train station or airport and took us to the hotel. The hotels were clean and most were in good locations. Some of it was local atmosphere like in Tibet, but acceptable.

We enjoyed our trip . We would recommend China Discovery to anyone interested in travelling in China.

It was a great experience touring across China in 15 days! We were a 5 people small private group including 3 high school graduates. Thanks to Leo, our trip advisor at China Discovery , the trip was well arranged and coordinated. We all had a good time!

We planned our trip a few months ahead. We communicated with Leo via phone and emails. Leo always answered questions quickly and informatively. Due to train schedule and cruise schedule changes after our booking, we had to make changes our tour arrangements. Leo patiently explained the situation and making great efforts to make arrangements to accommodate our needs.

We visited popular sites in Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Chong Qing, Yangtze River (Cruise), Zhangjiajie and Shanghai. For every trip leg, local guides would pick up and take us to train stations. They accompanied us in all site visits. They also made arrangements for lunches. These local tour guides are professionals. They are very knowledgeable and speak good English. With the help of those local guides we were able to efficiently and yet comfortably visited so many places in a short period of time. The high speed trains are amazing. It was fast comfortable. A great way to travel from city to city! The weather was good for the most part of our trip. It got a little hot and humid starting mid of June in southern China, when the Southern rainy season starts.

We all enjoyed our trip. I highly recommend China Discovery for China tours in a small private group setting.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 days at Bifengxia. We arrived with an open mind, so I cannot really say that the program met our expectations or not. We learned a lot about the animals, which was great and we spend a lot of time observing them, which was fun. The program itself was more like a 3-day VIP arrangement with backstage passes rather than a volunteering program. Volunteering sounds like you have to make an effort and we were not really put to work, we were treated like guests, which is of course always positive. You prepared us well about the restrictions on interaction with the panda's which was much appreciated, and we did not expect much interaction for starters because we were visiting a research base, not a circus! The panda base itself is a tranquil site and we had a lot of people approaching us for a short conversation, really nice.

If you would ask me if I had any suggestions for improvement, then I do not really have an answer. We enjoyed the hospitality of the hotel, really nice place with a beautiful room, friendly staff and good food. Your team added to the fun and made the visit more memorable when we managed to add a visit to an old village on the last day.

I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in a laid-back panda learning experience in a mountainous area in rural China.

What a great experience, this was truly one of the biggest highlights of all of our time in China!

First, China Discovery is a great company, I asked them a lot of questions via email in the months before the trip, they always replied quickly and were very informative. Paying them from the USA was easy. During the excursion itself, everything went great, they picked us up early, the guide spoke excellent English and he was attentive to our needs. He also took a ton of pictures and videos for us!

The program that the Panda Center puts on is also good, though some animal rights groups monitor them closely so the up-close interactions are pretty limited. This is all controlled by the Panda Center itself, not the tour company. Lunch was with the employees of the center in their lunch room, very tasty.

It is a bit stressful planning an activity in another country and sending money months beforehand, but all of my interactions with China Discovery helped put me at ease. They have tons of great ratings online and they are so helpful. On our excursion I met 2 other people (one from Singapore, one from Europe) who had used China Discovery multiple times before and they had nothing but good things to say.

Whether it is the panda trip or any other things in China, I can happily recommend China Discovery, they will take very good care of you!

Mr Wonder Wang, our travel consultant, worked with us from the planning phase to the final reality. He responded to my emails quickly, listened to me and answered my questions patiently and clearly.

During our 23-day trip April 28- May 20, we were taken care of from the moment we arrived in Kunming airport to the last minute we were dropped off at Beijing Train Station. All tour guides and private drivers were professional and personal. Big shout out to few guides: Vicky in DaLi, Evan in ChengDu, DeLia in JiLiang/ Zhangjiajie NP, and Mike in Beijing. All that made our travel life so much more fun and more memorable.

We highly recommend Chinadiscovery, especially Mr Wang, to our friends and anyone that is interested in visiting China.

Thank you, Mr Wang, for all your hard work and patience helping me planning this grand trip that would last a lifetime. Hopefully we will talk to you in a near future when we plan a trip to visit northwest part of China.

I travelled with friends - all of us active, healthy seniors. The core of our trip was the Silk Route (Xinjiang's Kashgar, Urumqi, Dunhuang, Xining) with extensions to Chengdu, Yellow Mountain, Hangchow, and Shanghai. Tracy of China Discovery managed our entire trip. She helped us with all the details in the months we took to plan this trip and managed questions along the way as we travelled. She was communicative, thorough, friendly, patient and responsive as she learned about our preferences.

Our arrivals and departures at airports, bullet trains and hotels were smooth. Our guides were excellent and were fluent English speakers. Their pride and love for their cities were clear and I learned a lot from them. The hotels chosen by China Discovery were very good and in areas that were extremely convenient. I should mention there were two staff changes in the months that we took to plan this trip but the transition to each professional was smooth.

I would certainly look up China Discovery (and Tracy) when I take another trip to China!

We just came back from amazing 3 weeks in China. Usually I plan all our trip myself, occasionally purchasing tours in some locations, but it was our first trip to China, we do not speak the language, so I decided to explore options to hire tour guides. We started with booking our Yangtze river cruise when I was contacted by Phoebe from China Discovery. She was very professional, details oriented, patient as we changed our dates and requests several times. She provided all details and answered all our questions immediately. We decided to book other tours with her as Phoebe seems like know what we are looking for and need. She customized the tours offered on their official website, adding some sights and activities we wanted.

Before the trip she kept reminding about some to do stuff for the trip.

Eventually, I planned our entire China itinerary, we were had tours with different guides in Beijing and Xian (I booked them before starting to work with Phoebe), we used China Discovery in Zhangjiajie N.P., Chengdu, Chongqing, 4d/3n Yangtze river cruise, Yichang and Huangshan, and we were independent in Shanghai. China Discovery also booked all our internal flights and train tickets, hotels, and upgraded us to business class for one flight with no additional cost. Navigating some parts of the country, for example Zhangjiajie N.P., is difficult without knowledge of Mandarin. Even in Beijing and Shanghai, very few people speaks English, therefore having a knowledgeable local guid is a must specially if you visit a country for the first time,

All our guides (Tim, Jason, David, Nancy and Jessica (June)) spoke good to great English. They made sure we are comfortable, had plenty of water, their recommendations for food was very good. They adjusted our schedule as needed.

The choice of hotels was very good. And, of course, the program was very good tailored. I suggest to install WeChat, it is the best communication tool with your guides to setup meeting points, and report the problem to main office if any and make last minute adjustments if necessary.

I highly recommend China Discovery as your tour agency in China. We certainly planning to come and discover different part of this great country and will hire China Discovery again as our travel operator.

China discovery gave us and authentic and unforgettable experience of China. Tracy, our travel consultant, planned the trip that we wished and tailored it to our interests.

The guides in all cities were knowledgeable and flexible to accommodate our needs in terms of sightseeing and food. Also, our luggage was dispatched late from London and Eric and Timo in Beijing and Xi’an liaised with the airports and collected the luggage for us.

Highly recommend China and this travel agency!

The coordination was very good and I must thanks to our 3 guides Kelvin, Herry and Sandy for fulfilling what we wanted see. Lots of pictures taken with good memories.

I spent months researching our trip to China - it’s how I found China Discovery and we are very glad that we did!

We are from the UK and have no previous experience of China and no previous experience of a tour, although we have travelled independently quite a bit. China Discovery offered us a perfect solution. Such a trip seemed daunting for us to visit independently so we booked a 3 week private tour. We had a long list of requirements and Jack Li from China Discovery put together an itinerary that was perfect for us. It was fast paced but covered everything we wanted it to. The communication beforehand was great, our questions were answered promptly and changes were made to make sure everything was exactly right.

We returned from our trip 2 weeks ago - it was the trip of a lifetime and we could not have been any happier with our tour and the service we received. China Discovery provided us with a driver and with a guide fluent in English at each location. The guides were amazing - always knowledgeable, accommodating and able to show us the best of every location. They worked together with the drivers and ensured we got to where we needed to. We experienced things we could never have done on our own. We travelled by car, boat and high speed train - all excellent. The accommodation chosen for us was great - our favourite was the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat and we would recommend this if you are in the area.

We feel very fortunate to have made this trip and have no worry in recommending China Discovery to anyone travelling in China. Thank you Jack for planning for us this trip of a lifetime.

Thanks to Wonder Wang I had the trip of a lifetime. I wanted to visit the Silk Road in China and the pandas in Chengdu but due to circumstances I had to do it alone. Wonder made a fantastic itenary for me. Everything was in it, all the guides spoke English fluently and were very knowledgeable. The drivers drove very safe in luxury cars. All the hotels were very clean and on a good location. Some more modern, others more local atmosphere, but all fine.

Contact with Wonder was very easy and quick. Before but also during the trip we kept in touch, which gave me a good feeling. If I go back to China, I’m sure I ask Wonder to organize it. I also recommend Wonder and China Discovery to my friends.

Big thanks to Johnson, our travel consultant for the private 6 day tour of Chengdu & Guilin. He was very helpful in customizing our itinerary and always responded to us in a timely manner. All the tours were well organized, paced and very informative and all the hotels were in a great location. Thanks also to our English speaking tour guides Ming in Chengdu and Monica in Guilin who were both very professional, helpful and knowledgeable and thanks to our drivers as well.

Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect when we booked them but we had such an amazing experience and memorable trip that we would book them again.

Chinadiscovery - especially Phoebe, our tour-agent - did a great job! Phoebe organized us two tours and a train ride. She was reliable, fast and always helpful and friendly - and everything worked fine! Surplus: Our tourguides in Chengdu (Cherry) and in Guilin (Peter) were very knowledgeable, helpful and really nice people!

We took a wonderful tour to Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu in May. The tour was arranged through China Discovery by Phoebe Gao. We are extremely delighted about how well the tour was planned and executed seamlessly and flawlessly. I gave Phoebe a 5-Star+ rating for her efforts in making all the arrangements, including hotels, train tickets, and everything with the parks and attractions. Their local tour guides are great as well. I must single out Melody (Wang Ting) in Zhangjiajie who made our visit there easy and effortless, through the mountains, lakes, cave and towns. We could not have expected more from her service. We came back with great memories, photos, and an unforgettable experience with the team of China Discovery.

We just came back from a private 22 day private trip arranged by China Discovery. Our travel consultant Jack Li, was patient in planning our trip and gave us a lot of good information. He was able to change our travel plans at the last minute also. Communication was fast and efficient. The travel guides we had were also very knowledgeable and kind. Some speak very good English, but some not so good. The hotels that they booked were above our expectations. Mostly are 5 stars. And the restaurant for our lunch were pretty good as well. Overall, we had an enjoyable trip and I recommend Jack Li for his efficient and good planning.

This is the second trip which i book with China Discovery under the coordination of Pheobe. Customized private tour to Chengdu/Leshan/Emei with own pace and some last minutes adjustment to the itenary is well adapted by Ben, Jolie (guide) and driver (Yang). Highly recommended tour operator.

The 4-day Chengdu tour arranged by Mr Wonder Wang of China Discovery was a wonderful experience for all of us and way exceeded our expectations. The itinerary covered all the “must see” destinations in Chengdu which we enjoyed thoroughly. We were being taken very good care by the local guides Ellen and Sandy who are very knowledgeable and passionate in sharing with us the history and interesting stories on the various sightseeing destinations that we visited during our trip. Thank you China Discovery for making this trip pleasurable and memorable. We are already talking about our next trip in China using China Discovery.

Mr. Wonder Wang was great coordinating our private tour to Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai. He was responsive, accommodating to our requests, and patient with answering all our questions. The tour guides and drivers were great, too.

Our 4 days tour covering panda sanctuary, JiangMenGuan/ bird path, LeShan and Emei was wonderful and fruitful. We enjoyed the scenaries, history as well as the different types of food everyday. The tour consultant Ms Phobe was very helpful and responsive, willing to make changes to provide the best arrangenent even with last minute requests, thank you so much.

I found China Discovery on the Internet and I asked them for a customized private tour of multiple cities across China for 4 people (two retired couples). Wonder Wang was the travel consultant responded to me with a proposal which included Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Guilin, Yangtze River Cruise, Zhangjiajie, Fenghuang Ancient City, Shanghai, Xiamen and Wuyishan. Wonder was very responsive to our questions and provided updates, made adjustments to our travel plan before and during our travel. He made all arrangements for hotels, inter-cities trains/flights, local (English speaking) tour guides, drivers and vehicles. We traveled with ease and enjoyed all the destinations. We were met by local tour guides at each destination train station/airport. They were all friendly and attentive to our needs. We appreciate their efforts, together with the drivers, to navigate through sometimes heavy traffics to bring us to all attractions as planned in the itinerary. Hotel accommodations were exceptional. Local lunches were tasty and in large portions.

I asked China Discovery (based in Chengdu) for a customized tour to Jiuzhaigou National Park north of Chengdu. Phoebe got back to me and after a short, efficient consultation, a travel plan was created for me that was tailored exactly to my wishes.

The tour left a deep impression on me and exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much, Phoebe. You made an unforgettable experience possible.

Tracy from China Discovery who helped to organise our tour is brilliant! She replied to all our queries promptly before and during the trip. If there was any issue during our trip, she acted and resolved them immediately and willing to go the extra mile to ensure our trip was an enjoyable experience.

Jack Li of Chengdu Bamboo/ China Discovery Travel organized this excellent 14 days tour of Beijing, Chongqing and Chengdu for groups of 10. The itinerary was well planned to cover most of the popular sights with excellent local guides to explain the history and the significance of each destination. All the hotels he chose were in central locations so we could get to explore each city in the evening. Jack even went out of his way to book an Opera for us at the Beijing Center of Performing Arts and a few special dinners in Beijing and Chengdu. All the local guides were fluent in English and be able to provide information about the present day life of local people.

We would not hesitate to book future tours with the Chengdu Bamboo travel as well as recommend our friends to Jack Li.

We would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to Leo and his company for making our recent trip an unforgettable one.

We were very happy that Leo managed to accommodate our requests promptly. The food was nice and the cruise activities and sightseeing (off shore sightseeing) were interesting and beautiful. The guides provided (David, Gila and Sally) were very professional and exhibited excellent attitude in providing a great service to us. The group had a wonderful time thanks to Leo's organisation and arrangement.

We highly recommend China Discovery and look forward to more trips to China in the future.

Our family of six (2 adults, 2 teenagers, 1 child and an 82-year-old elderly parent) had a wonderful vacation in Yichang, Chengdu, Chongqing with a cruise down the Yangtze River.

We are deeply appreciative of Samantha, who was our tour consultant from China Discovery. The trip was well planned and fuss-free. Samantha is meticulous, organised, has good command of English and listens to customers. Kudos to Samantha for the well thought out schedule, seamless coordination with drivers and guides across the various cities and going the extra mile to connect us with cruise ship staff. Our needs were met at every step, even before we arrived at each destination. She checked in on us regularly and provided advice along the way, even though she was not physically with us. She took care of everything such that the teenagers said they felt pampered!

We also sincerely appreciate Evan, our guide in Chengdu for his care and professionalism. He is knowledgeable, enunciates well (both English and Mandarin), puts customers' needs first and saw to matters that were beyond his role.

We highly recommend China Discovery, Samantha as a travel consultant and Evan as a guide to anyone planning a trip to China.

We visited the south west of China including Kunming, Cheng Du, Jiuzhaigou, Shangrila and Xian. Our Chinese travel agency was China Discovery (Cheng Du Bamboo International) Our main contact there was Vivien Li who took care of everything for us and made our trip a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend her to all intending tourists to China.

We contacted Rita Jiang from China Discovery after having read the reviews about her services. Indeed, she planned a private tour for my husband and myself as we wanted to celebrate his birthday in China. She organised the trip very well; the tour guides speak English at the 4 places. They explained it comprehensively and informatively. The domestic flight and bullet train tickets were arranged by her. The drivers ensured that we were picked up and dropped off at the places of interest, airport, train station and hotels smoothly.

The Terracotta warriors at Xian, the Yangtze River - visiting the 3 Gorges Dam, the half days tour conducted at Yichang and Chongqing and finally, the Chengdu Panda Research Centre were the highlights of the tour. We were surprised by the sheer size of the SanXi Museum in Chengdu. But, more importantly, we felt the service and care were of very good quality.

We were a group of 6 on a China Discovery 13 day tour of China. We traveled to Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Chonqqing, and Yangtze River Cruise.

Tracy Tan was our contact person at China Discovery. She was very easy to work with and she handled all of the details for our trip. I highly recommend Tracy!

The tour was EXCELLENT!

Jamie our guide in Beijing was a 10 Star Guide, the best guide I have ever experienced. (I have used about 40 guides in the last 6 years.) He spoiled us with his attention to details and his concern for our interest. He arranged for a wheelchair for me on the 2nd day as I was having an issue walking that day. It was a temporary issue, but Jamie was the one that suggested get a wheelchair and he pushed me around all day.

All the other guides did an excellent job. The tours selected were very good and we enjoyed all the attractions.

When we arrived in Chengdu, our guide, Bay had presents (Chopsticks, Bookmarks, & Panda Bears) for us and that was appreciated by the wives

All the hotels were 4 stars and we enjoyed each and everyone. Novotel Xinqiao was our favorite.

The restaurants and homes that we visited were very good.

The river cruise was very nice, we upgraded to premium cabins once we got on the boat at a much less cost than if we had booked the premium cabins in the beginning. The food on the boat was ok, but we felt it could have been much better.

The transportation was very good with plenty of room for the 6 of us and baggage.

The pickups and drop offs were excellent.

We were very pleased with the quality of the hotels, meals, guides, transportation and communication.

I highly recommend China Discovery for your next trip to China.

We are a group of 4 family members.All senior citizens from United States. We requested Jack Li from China Discovery to design a 20 days custom tour to visit and experience Shanghai, Zhangjiajie , Three Gorges Dam, Yangtze River Cruise,Chongqing, Lhasa Tibet and Chengdu. Jack did an excellent job of designing the tour. We traveled to Hong Kong on our own. At our request Jack booked us on the High Speed Rail from Hong Kong to Shanghai. Over 1000 miles in 7 hours.Great experience. All the places we visited in the tour were well curated. All arrangements made for Hotels,Vans and English speaking guides were good.We took 3 within China flights, all arranged by China Discovery, traveled on the highways over 1000 kms. The 5 days Yangtze River Cruise was excellent. Jack obtained travel permits for Tibet.

We found Jack Li to be a competent person to organize a tour of this kind. We would highly recommend China Discovery and Jack to anyone planning a trip to China.

The trip was overall well planned. Thanks Leo Li. We enjoyed the various places of interest and fantastic local food. Small hiccups were quickly resolved and travel was comfortable. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. We will recommend China Discovery to our friends and family.

Our consultant Samantha from China Discovery was very professional and helped to tailor the tour according to our needs.

She replied promptly to all my emails and was clear in her explanations regarding the tour.

She also helped to arrange a guide and driver to pick us up from the hotel.

Our guide for the day Elleen was very friendly and knowledgeable about the pandas in the Base. We were able to get really close to the pandas and see them eating. We helped to clear their poop and prepare food for them.

Elleen took many nice photos of us during our volunteer program and the photos will help to preserve the memories of that day.

Would really encourage anyone visiting Chengdu to sign up for this tour as there are many pandas at Dujiangyan and fewer visitors here as it's further from the city. And to sign up with China Discovery as they provide excellent service at a reasonable price. I for one will definitely return for a revisit in the future.

After a significant amount of research for our family trip to China, I came across China Discovery. I cannot thank Wonder Wang enough for arranging one of the best holidays we have been on as a family. We absolutely LOVED every day and every trip we took. I would highly recommend China Discovery and Wonder Wang to anyone planning a trip! Wonder’s communication was both responsive and excellent, being extremely patient and accommodating with all of my many requirements!

We are a family of 5 with three children aged 15,11 and 9. I have stayed in some pretty plush hotels in my time but the hotels booked by Wonder well surpassed our expectations! He found us interconnecting rooms so it was really convenient and gave the children their own space.

We spent 12 days touring Beijing, Xian and Chengdu in a privately organised mini bus with three of the nicest and most knowledgeable tour guides. Gary in Beijing, Paul in Xi’an and Sandy in Chengdu. Each of them spoke excellent English and were extremely attentive. We were checked into our hotels by all three guides and taken to train stations/airport for trips to the next city. Gary even took us all of the way onto the bullet train and found space for many suitcases onto the carriage. Paul was so accommodating and flexible and the children found him really entertaining. Sandy ordered us the nicest food in Chengdu.

As for the places we visited, we saw and learnt so much about the tradition, history and the culture. China is one of the cleanest, safest and most beautiful countries I’ve been to, immersed in thousands of years of culture and heritage.

When we got home, my children thanked me for taking them on the best holiday they’ve ever been on. I honestly can’t thank Wonder from China Discovery and our wonder guides Gary, Paul and Sandy enough. We loved it so much I’m already thinking about my next trip there!

Me and family want to visit china but our time is very limited. So i searching travel agent which can arrange the place that we would like to visit jiuzhaiguo and zhangjiajie. And later i have choose China Dicovery as our tour agent to arrange our trip. Within 8 days, we have visit Chengdu, Jiuzhaiguo and Zhangjiajie. They have arrange airport transfer and train pick up. So their service is very recommended if you want to travel without hazzel. For lunch and dinner we can make a choose what the food we like and just paid the add on from their budget.

11 days private tour in China, visting Beijing, Chendu, Guilin and Zhangjiajie. Amazing locations, and excellent service provided from China Discovery letting us enjoy a truly beautiful country and culture.

Thank you China Discovery for an amazing trip to Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu and Shanghai. We had the best time and could not have been better looked after and guided in our time in China. We saw the Great Wall, the Terracotta Army, Pandas and many other amazing sites. The restaurants we went too were all interesting and delicious!

Leo Li was fantastic in helping us put together the perfect itinerary and for any queries and support on our journey. We had great support from our wonderful guides Power, Ivan, Sarah and Mark who really helped us make the most of our trip. We would strongly recommend China Discovery and will be back in touch when we next look to come back to China. Thank you!

Thanks to China Discovery tours for arranging an amazing travel experience. Outstanding tour consultant Leo Li coordinated every detail of our trip. Your English-speaking guides and private vehicle drivers are exceptional.

Highlights of our tour spanned from the Great Wall and Grand Palaces of Beijing to armies of Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, the unique Panda Breeding sanctuary in the heart of Chengdu and a spectacular cruise down the Yangtze River to the Financial Capital of Shanghai.

China is Amazing!.. It's a living legacy from the ancient to ultra-modern. Rickshaws on cobblestone roads to high-speed trains on elevated rails, China is full of cultural contrasts and lovely people.

Thanks for making our China vacation possible.

We appreciate you and your team’s support.

Xièxie China Discovery tours!

Two Travellers from Canada.

We are traveling to China in October 2023 using private tour services from China Discovery. We wanted a customized tour so we used a private tour, because we don't speak Chinese so it was a bit difficult to travel alone.

From the start, from asking, they were very responsive. Vivien as a tour consultant was very helpful and very responsive in answering all our questions and emails. He helped create an itinerary and customized the itinerary according to our wishes.

The price is much more expensive than regular tours because it is a private tour but it is very worth it.

The tour went smoothly and almost everything was according to the itinerary, there were some adjustments due to circumstances. Everything is well organized. Starting from pick-up and transportation used while there.

The tour guide used was also quite good. Everyone uses English, although there are some whose English is not clear, it is still natural and understandable. Special kudos to Sarah our guide in Chengdu who helped with every effort to organize Wechat. This is very important, without it we would have experienced many difficulties throughout the tour. Also to Lobsang our guide at Shangrila, who is very good at taking photos and very communicative. Guides in other places are also friendly and helpful.

Maybe the guide in Jiuzhaigou needs to explain more about each object in Jiuzhaigou and be more proactive, but the people are quite nice and friendly.

Thank you for giving souvenirs, we didn't expect to get souvenirs.

Overall we are very satisfied using China Discovery's services.

My husband & I had just came back from our 1st personalized tour with China Discovery to Chengdu, Leshan, Mt Emei, Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou and would like to share our wonderful experience and service offered to us, since we engaged China Discovery based on many past reviews. It was a 9D/8N itenary.

First and foremost, I would like to say that we are truly glad to have Wonder Wang as our tour consultant as he managed to understand and construct a full tour package from only my input (communication through various emails) on places of interest and personal preferences.

I must say the services provided to us from day 1 to day 9 were superb, nothing more to ask.

All hotels arranged for us were excellent, Dorsett, Howard Johnson, etc. No complain. Tour timing at each places of interest were well planned. Jane and Mary as our tour guides, both were very service oriented, warm & friendly, & helpful in every areas.

Overall, my husband and I enjoyed our holiday in Chengdu and Jiuzhaiguo tremendously. We had such a joyous and memorable holiday from seeing the adorable Pandas, eating the delicious meals and yummy snacks, awe in the magnificent beauty of lake, mountains and waterfalls.

Thanks to Wonder Wang and team.

We are so delighted and satisfied with China Discovery.

Thanks again.

The Most Amazing 21 Days - that is what I would name this vacation . If you really want to get to know the country, people, history and also see beautiful sceneries, then this is the trip for you.

The tour was well planned and we had very personal attention. The tour guide and driver would pick us up at the train station or airport, we then tour the particular city or town with them, had also some free time to explore on our own and then were brought again to the train station or airport. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and spoke good English. Since it was just my husband and I we could ask all the questions and could adjust schedule to weather and/or interests. The hotels were all 4 or 5 stars and were quite comfortable.

A highlight was also the River Cruise since we really could interact with the other guests, which in our case were Chinese traveling for Chinese New Year.

Here are the places we visited: Hong Kong, Guilin, Chengdu, Chongqing (start of river cruise), Zhangjiajie, Shanghai, Xian and Bejing.

We had a wonderful holiday in Chengdu and Xian. Many thanks to April Zou, the tour consultant for planning and organising this private tour for us. April is knowledgable and professional and customised the itinerary that meets our needs. She is patient and understanding in dealing with us.

Wonder from China Discovery was amazing organising a dream China Trip!

Was so good, we even have now booked and gone on 2 trips with them! The first was a 22 day trip going through all of the major sites in China: Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Hangzhou, Hengdian, Shanghai. There was a guide and driver personally there to greet us at each location, and all the internal train tickets were included. So were the attraction tickets.

Note we were given the option to book our own hotels and pay for our own lunches. If you rather the tour company organise that yourself - go for it, that’s the default option. But I think paying for your own lunches at least gives you more flexibility. You can also negotiate the locations and itinerary to your own liking.

In terms of cost - for the 22 days (with 2 rest days) it was $7160 USD for two people - ie around $325USD per day for us as a couple (no lunches/hotels - but including all trains/tickets/transport).

It was such a professional and wonderful experience, we got Wonder to organise a 3 day trip to Guangzhou just last week as well (using the 144 hour visa free transit rule China has). That was also amazing.

So regardless if you’re planning a big holiday or a short trip, Chinese Discovery is amazing and takes all the stress out of organising everything. Just have your passport and wechat pay enabled and you’ll be fine.

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.

We have 11 Days family trip in Beijing, Xi'an and Chengdu. The whole trip was amazing. Accomodation and transportation are wonderful. The food are very nice. The hotel is great. We are so thankful to Wonder Wang who arrange this amazing trip from the very beginning, also for being very helpful and patient to give a quick respond, always ready to give any information that we need, and make sure that everything has been well communicated. Also special thanks to our tour guides Jack (Beijing), Jessie (Xi'an), Kevin (Chengdu) and all the drivers. They are very kind, cheerful, communicative and helpful. The service was very excellent from our arrival to our departure. We feel very safe and comfortable. We highly recommend China Discovery to everyone who wants to have a memorable, pleasant, and comfortable trip to China.

We are group of 3 female travellers but grateful and thank to our travel consultant , Leo made an excellent tour arrangement for the 5 days trip. He was very patient, helpful and prompt responding during our conversation via WeChat. Really appreciated with his assistance to arrange a transportation service from hotel to airport as last minute request. Accommodation and foods were great. Our tour guide Evan and driver Mr Yang were very friendly, knowledgeable and took good care of us. Highly recommend to use China Discovery for safe and exiting trips 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).

We enjoyed the tours arranged by China discovery. Our Travel Consultant Rita is very helpful. Our Returned flight from Jiuzhaigou was cancelled due to adverse weather condition. She monitor the flight status closely and made alternative arrangement for our return to Chengdu. Our Tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable, and our drivers are friendly and careful.

Where and how do I start?! Firstly, I was blessed to find China Discovery! China has always been my number one destination to visit. After extensive research, I realized I could not plan and actualize this 3-week trip alone. My husband and I bought our flights to Beijing for November and unable to start planning until October. Knowing that we were on a time crunch, I quickly emailed my itinerary to what seemed to be the top tour companies online. The one that stood out the most was China Discovery. Tracy, our travel consultant, was quick to reply and, without any questions, provided complete arrangements to my itinerary to the tee. In the next 2-3 weeks, Tracy was extremely patient and accommodating to my adjustments and requests to improve the itinerary.

The itinerary included five major cities (Beijing, Luoyang, Xi'an, Chengdu, Zhangjiajie) and several other sub-cities (Dengfeng, Leshan, Emeishan, Fenghuang) in between. In each of the five major cities, we were greet kindly with a tour guide and driver. Everyone spoke fluent English and were very knowledgable with the culture and history. Jamie, our first guide in Beijing, went above and beyond every day to ensure that our initial arrival and experience of China was excellent. Kelly was excellent at explaining the history of Luoyang and the dynasties in chronological order that was easy to understand. In Xi'an, Waldener was spunky, gregarious, and very informative. Evan perfectly delivered the essence and beauty of Chengdu and took care of us in more ways than we expected. Lee friendly and proudly welcomed us to Hunan province, where we were in awe everyday as we explored Zhangjiajie.

Though the drivers did not speak English, they expressed by their nice gestures and smiles. We appreciated how attentive and sweet Tracy was during our trip. She made sure to contact me to check in several times. I can't say our trip was 100% flawless. There were little hiccups, but nothing that would sour the entire trip. The important thing is any unwanted issues were taken care of quickly.

We started the trip in excitement and curiosity, and ended with appreciation and amazement. We love China so much we already have two trips in mind for 2024. Of course, we'll be sure to contact China Discovery again!!

Recently returned from a private tour to Chengdu, Leshan, Emei, Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. China Discovery and particularly our contact, Wing, handled all aspects of the planning and support in an outstanding way, including a last minute change. Response times were quick and the tour, local guides and drivers were very good. Overall a memorable trip. Thanks Wing!

I booked a last minute trip to Chengdu from Guangzhou. I had a spare day in my itinerary and i decided i wanted to visit pandas. Wonder booked everything...he arranged my flights, a pickup from the airport and the tour of the panda research facility. we had some spare time before my flight back to visit the famous old market in the city. Sandy the tour guide spoke very good english and made the trip enjoyable.

Im really glad i did the tour. there were a lot of opportunities to sight pandas in the facility. it was a little crowded at times with visitors trying to get a view of the pandas, but mostly it was very good. the market was very interesting as well and i could spend more time there to try the various foods available.

I recommend this tour company and the great service i received. they are very efficient.

We are active senior travelers who prefer our own itinerary and pace. Having China Discovery handle all the logistics gave us all the flexibility we want. All our email inquiries were handled promptly and thoroughly. As expected, we were met by guides and drivers at per the arrangements. The guides were all fluent English speakers with excellent local knowledge.

We have been to China about a dozen times so our 20 days itinerary is a little more out of the way and more demanding than the standard Shanghai-Beijing-Xian routes. China Discovery came through and made our journey a joy.

Good job.

It was the best experience, the view, weather just perfect! When i saw panda my heart goes awweeeeee

My daughter arranged an extremely varied 8 day tour for me through Tracy Tan of China Discovery. The first three days were spent around Chengdu, including the panda breeding, Dujiangyan irrigation scheme, Qingcheng Taoist mountain, Leshan giant Buddha, and local markets and parks in Chengdu. This was followed by the highlight of the trip, a one day tour of the Jiuzaigou National Park, which, as a hydrologist, I thought was the most wonderful water feature that I had ever seen around the world ! After a quick introduction to Chongqing we boarded the Victoria Anna ship, for a memorable cruise through the Yangtze River gorges, culminating in a private tour of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Dam site on the last day.

The whole tour was excellently managed by Tracy; I particularly liked the company’s flexibility, allowing an interchange of day’s itineraries at short notice when I felt unwell, and then replacing a late cancellation of an internal flight with a suitable car and train alternative to ensure that I did not miss the departure of the cruise ship. All the guides, Sarah, Peter, Ken and Jacky were excellent and very knowledgeable, and their respective drivers very safe and professional.

I was a bit disappointed by the side trips offered during the cruise, but this might just have been the dull overcast weather experienced on those days. Other highlights were the evening shows on the cruise with an excellent compère, eating green tea ice cream on the road to Leshan, viewing the red pandas closeup, and watching the illuminated skyscrapers from the ship departing Chongqing in the evening.

Remember to take some very warm clothing to view the Jiuzhaigou National Park during the best season of the year (late Oct-early Nov), when the foliage colours are best, as the previous week they had experienced snowfall there, and the hotels are unheated !!

Also suggest another attraction which has just opened in Chengdu, and might be worth adding to the tour itinerary - the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum located in Pidu District - housed in a wonderful modern out-of- this-world building, which would be a good contrast to the notable historical sites that were already included in the tour.

I took a 10-day tour of China including Guilin, Chengdu, Xian and Beijing. The highlights were the Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall. Guilin also surprised with amazing scenery on the Li River cruise. At each destination I had a driver and tour guide which made it possible to see many attractions in a short time. The tour guides knew the history and culture and helped us to check-in to hotels and give us recommendations for local dining and shows. The drivers were always waiting for us when we finished at a destination. I wouldn't have had the confidence to travel around China without a tour guide due to the language barrier. But, this was easy and the tour guides made everything efficient. Also, booking my tour with Tracy was easy as she amended the tour to fit my needs. For anyone travelling to China, I recommend this company.

We appreciate the excellent coordination by Vivien Li and the great services provided by her team, including the guides and the drivers.

Wing Zeng was our travel consultant and she was responsive and patient in replying to our questions, as well as making changes with the travel arrangements requested by us. We are happy with the tour guide and driver and had a wonderful trip.

Our Tour with China Discovery well very well, I need to compliment them on their organization and choice of guides. Our consultant Wing was extremely helpful, kind and flexible. We did a 14 day, personalized tour and visited the imperial cities with Chengdu and a short cruise on Yangtze River. I would definitely recommend them and will plan another tour with China Discovery in the future (hopefully).

Wolong reserve Is fantastic. I Saw so many pandas active and playing. The volunteer experience gives added value to the visit.

China Discovery Is a very serious and reliable Company. Wing Zeng Is reactive and very professional.

Strongly suggested for any type of trip.

I was fortunate to be asked to speak at the Cleaning Show in China so took advantage of the trip to add a weeks holiday to see as much as I could. I soon realised I needed some help and that was where Phoebe Gao of China Discovery came in, Phoebe looked at my wish list and managed to fit as much as possible into the 8 days I had available. The Panda Keeper experience was the highlight for me but everything Phoebe organised ran smoothly and she provided excellent local guides whose knowledge of the areas was first rate. I highly recommend the service Phoebe provided, she stayed in contact throughout the trip and managed any last minute changes I requested ensuring that this trip is one that I will always remember.

Once again that we asked Mr. Wonder from China Discovery to organize our private trip in Chengdu. Our plan was a simple get away weekend from Beijing. And Mr. Wonder has came up with the itinerary that we will visit the panda research center and the Gina Buddha in Leshan. It was a perfect plan for us because we did not feel stressful from having to rush to visit places in a short time. Everything went well and quite relaxing and enjoyable. Next trip, we will definitely ask Mr. Wonder to organise our priviate trip again.

We had Johnson Wang as our travel consultant to develop a customized 16 days itinerary with flexibility to accommodate any unexpected surprises. A team of dedicated and knowledgeable staff that included local guides and drivers made our tour an amazing and worry-free one. We appreciate very much the help from local guides for transfer at train stations and airports as the check-in process may not always be the same. My most impressive experience was in Dunhuang and Chengdu. The tours at Turpan, Kashgar, and Tashkrugan are my favorites. Beijing and Xian are always fascinating. We are looking forward to China Discovery to plan our next trip.

I had an absolutely incredible time in China with China Discovery. My trip (Chengdu, Chongqing, Changsha, Shanghai, Qingdao, Beijing) could not have gone any smoother. Every tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and every hotel was great. Every place that I visited was also absolutely spectacular in terms of scenery.

I also want to give a special mention to my travel agent Rita Jiang for putting up with me and my intricate demands (even at the last minute). I would highly, highly recommend China Discovery to anyone who wishes to visit China, especially the more "niche" parts which Western-based travel agencies do not typically offer.

I will definitely be travelling with them again!

Driver was great. Guide knew his way around. Explored lesser known gems like Langmusi, Ruoergai, Waqie, and Songzhou. Spent another 5 days in Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. See my video compilation on skypixel.

What an amazing experience to volunteer on a panda base and see these beautiful creatures up close! Zeva was an amazing travel consultant and guide and was with me every step of the day and went above and beyond with free souvenirs, photos and a walking tour of Chengdu downtown after returning from the Panda base. Highly recommend this agency and I have booked another multi day tour with them!

I contacted China Discovery a couple of weeks before my trip to China, and the consultant, Wonder, was very helpful in providing information and helping us customize a full day tour in Chengdu.

Once there, the tour guide, Kevin, picked us up on time at the hotel. He was well informed, extremely helpful, and possessed strong communication and language skills. We had an amazing day, and Kevin continued to be helpful in providing us with the advice for our plans that evening and the day after.

I strongly recommend the tour and the staff!

This agency was reliable. My consultant was Mr.Wonder, he helped me to arrange excellence trip and answer me my questions clearly. My guide was Mr.Evan, he was so nice guy with good service-minded. If you are finding tour agency in Chengdu, I recommend China Discovery.

I did a three-day itinerary in Chengdu and Emeishan with China Discovery in September, 2023. This was a fantastic way to see some of the highlights from my to-do list, including the Panda Research Base, the Chuancais Museum, Leshan Giant Buddha, and Mount Emei. My guide, Ellen, was hospitable, friendly, and punctual. Additionally, she helped me to order some of the most delicious meals I experienced while in China. I highly recommend booking day tours in Chengdu with CD.

Ms. Wing Zeng from China Discovery was very prompt and enthusiastic in helping with the planning of my Jiuzhaigou/Chengdu/Chongqing/Wulong trip in September. I picked the local tours that I was interested in and China Discovery weaved the locations into a 2-week itinerary with transport and accommodation included. The local guides were also very friendly and knowledgeable, which made our trip very rewarding and memorable.

Rita Jiang was our travel consultant from China Discovery who worked with me to plan our 30 days in China. She helped with a suggested itinerary and when I added or removed destinations, she swiftly and efficiently adjusted it with clever additions I had not researched. I tried 2 other large Chinese travel agencies with my proposed itinerary before settling with China Discovery. China Discovery was not the cheapest, but they were certainly the most efficient in response time and also, most importantly, they created an excellent itinerary with clever routes and efficient transportation options between destinations. When you are travelling for this length of time as a family, efficient travel time is very important. The guides which met us in each location were well spoken and highly knowledgable. The drivers were excellent too. We covered Shanghai, Zhangzhou, Zhangjiajie, Fenghuang, Guilin, Kunming, Dongchuan Red Lands, Lijiang, Chengdu, Juizhaigou and Huanglong Valley, Xian, Luoyang, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Datong and Beijing with our two children aged 9 and 10.

There is no other way to travel efficiently through China and get to understand the culture and history without the help of a local travel agent. I highly recommend China discovery to help you plan your next trip!

Great buddy trip to Xinjiang. We do not like too much road travel so we covered 3 cities - Kashgar, Urumqi and Turpan. I think these 3 cities already gave us a good flavor of what Xinjiang looks like, not just the sceneries or old cities but also the culture and foods. Highly recommend that you get in touch with China Discovery, they will give you some good recommendations on your travel itinerary. Reach out to Rita Jiang.

T.H. Go

Long China trips for not-so-young people

Four of us in our 60-80s have recently returned from our 25 days trip (26.08-19.09) covering [1] Datong, Hanging Temple, Pingyao Ancient City, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda of Fogong Temple, Hukou Waterfall, Xi’an, [2] North Xinjiang (Urumqi Bazaar, Ulungur Lake, Hemu Village, Kanas Lake, Rainbow Beach, Guozigou Bridge, Sayram Lake, Karajun Grassland,Tekes County aka BaGua City), [3] Chengdu (Leshan Giant Buddha, Emei, Ya’an-Kangding,Luding Chain Bridge, Panda Tour), Huanglong Valley, Jiuzhaigou Valley, [4] Zhangjiajie, Fenghuang Ancient Town and finally, Beijing (on our own, 3 nights).

Above 4 group of sightseeing points are customized and planned with Ms. Wing Zeng of China Discovery with her friendly and professional suggestions and helps as well as personalized responses. Her selections of 7 tour guides (and drivers) all along the routes are mostly fine, who are knowledgeable in the subject matters involved, helpful and have tried their best to answer our numerous questions along the tours. This is in contrast to previous 2 China tours (of two members in our group) with other travel agency where the tour guide(s) were primarily taking them from one point to the next without too much “explanations”. Nevertheless, more “understandable English”-speaking guide (in 1 instance) would help non-Chinese-speaking tourist to enjoy the program more completely. Also, Chinese breakfast with western alternatives would be a plus for some of us (not so easy to adjust to the lifestyle of other country?).

The whole trip is of course no doubt tiring. Fortunately, at the end, we do “overcome”. And all of us are happy with the services rendered to us by this Chengdu-based China Discovery, with which we are connected via WeChat to Ms. Wing Zeng to deal with any unexpected issue arising out of the long trips without any problem as she has immediately, sovereignly reacted to the situation to address them.

We would highly recommend those who want to visit China to take the services of “China Discovery” based in Chengdu with their team of professional travel consultants like Ms. Wing Zeng into consideration to enjoy the trips less hassle.

Attached are some of our travel pictures to share the happy moments of this trip:

Our trip :Shanghai to Chengdu, Chengdu to Chongqing and back. Since the first moment Ms.Ariel made and excellent plan with all necessary information’s. confirmation of our trip with all the details was ready in no time ! Excellent.

Last transfer was from the hotel to the airport,everything soot and in time .A BIG,BIG Thank You to Ms.Ariel,Jason,Oliver ---- we had a wonder full as your service was VIP !!

I have joined a 17 days trip to Shanghai, Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Chongqing, including Yangtse Cruise. Besides enjoying all the places, they are amazing. I also enjoyed the hospitality from the tour guides on the gound and the cruise ship. They served good foods and yummy. We travelled by plane, ship, high speed train during the tour. The tour arrangement is good, my travel consultant is Mr. Leo Li. Overall, the tour was very nice and satisfying. I definitely will travel to China again next time.

This was my third time to the “motherland “ born a fourth generation ABC that doesn’t speak a word Chinese, did Beijing,Xian, Lhasa, Chengdu, Yangtze River cruise and of course the greatest city Shanghai, Mr Leo Li of China Discovery arranged the trip we opted to go the 5 star route with group of two , Leo answered all my questions promptly and to my satisfaction, the local guides some the best we ever encountered very good English skills on many topics, a couple became friends, question who would I have arrange a China trip? Mr. Leo Li

We are 9 friends who had travelled to China with China Discovery this summer and we had a really fantastic, custom-made private trip going to Beijing, Zhangjiajie, Chengdu, Shangri la, Dali, Ethnic Minorities of Guangxi, Kunming and Guilin. As we expected, we obtain so many amazing experiences and memories. All our tour guides and drivers were excellent, helping us all the time to make our journey comfortable and easy without any troubles.

Especially, I should mention Tracy, our coordinator at the agency, who had organised everything perfect and was from the earliest planning and through all the trip very helpful and friendly and we felt that someone really care about us by giving us assistance and services when we have got problems to solve! So, a special thanks to Tracy and the entire team at China Discovery! We highly recommend this agency from planning to executing to anyone looking to explore China!

Mr Wonder Wong is the best travel consultant. He answered all my questions and helped made all the arrangements for us. We are a group of 5, including one grandma and 3 children. The entire trip went smoothly. The guides are fantastic and the drivers are very safe. Highly recommend the company.

We are very glad that China Discovery helped us organize our trip! It was a very memorable trip with great guides, great drivers and stunning scenery. China Discovery arranged a transfer for us from Shanghai airport when we first arrived in China. Later we were met and given excursions to Zhangjiajie, Chengdu, Shangri-la, Lijiang and Dali. They also organized a wonderful hiking trip for us through the Tiger Leaping Gorge - Everything went smoothly, everyone was very kind, punctual and friendly - although we had a lot of force majeure (airlines canceled flights, someone from the company caught a little cold) the guys from China Discovery held their hand on the pulse and responded quickly and efficiently to all these operational difficulties - Any adjustments were easily made, and everyone was flexible and understanding. I 100% recommend booking trips with these guys XD

I especially wanted to mention Mr. Johnson, who from the beginning of planning until the last transfer, took care of us like his own family!!!

Thank you, China Discovery!!!

We have an excellent 6 days trip travelling from Hongkong to Guilin & Yangshou customised by China Discovery. Our travel consultant, Wing Zeng, was in constant touch with us during the journey to make sure that everything was in order. She is very helpful and receptive to our needs. We definitely hope to travel with them again.

I did a tour for Yangtze river cruise, Zhangjiajie, Xian and Luo Yang via China Discovery.

Rita our travel consultant was very helpful in organising a suitable itinerary tailored to our needs. She was very quick to respond and organised everything well.

Lily our tour guide in ZJJ was super helpful and friendly, especially given that one of us got sick during the trip. She was also very flexible in sorting that out and ensured that those who were not feeling well was taken cared of, whilst also making sure that the rest of the group could still enjoy their tour. Would totally recommend her to anyone who is considering going to Hunan province.

ZJJ is also a must visit with stunning and gorgeous views.

The cruise was also decently good, although the boat was getting a little outdated and could do with renovation (Yangtze Gold 8).

When we went to Xian it was heavily raining and during the school holidays so it was really hard to see the terracotta warriors properly, but it was a decent trip. Our tour guide introduced us to some good local food so that was great.

For Luo Yang I really enjoyed seeing the museum that Joe, our tour guide, took us too. He was very very knowledgeable and could inform us of Chinese history. From the Long men grottoes to the museum to the Shaolin temple and White horse temple, our group was all enriched in knowledge. Definitely recommend visiting Luo Yang, especially the museum. I typically do not enjoy museums as much but Joe made it super fun.

1 day Chengdu tour to see the Panda Breeding research Center and the Giant Buddha near LeShan.

I arranged the tour last minute and Jack Li at China Discovery was great in assisting me to book the tour. Great communication via email, all in perfect English. Payment was made using PayPal, no need to worry about paying using Chinese payment platforms or getting cash, etc.

Ellen, our tour guide, was awesome. Great English, extremely knowledgeable about our tour locations, very fun and friendly. The whole tour was a great experience. She met us at our hotel and made sure we had everything we needed before heading out for our tour.

I will be booking more China Discovery tours in different cities. It was absolutely worth it. Recommend!

We have been to China many times (Chinese Family living overseas) but wanted to plan our six cities / 11-day visit with China Discovery to ensure my 80-year old parents would have a customized, comfortable, and smooth experience. Johnson Wang worked with us to provide a great plan including some off the beaten path locations. We had several interactions with Johnson as we planned our trip, he was very supportive and understood our needs to keep our plans flexible when traveling with older parents. Great hotel selections, wonderful tour guides and Drivers, very comfortable private cars provided. Bi-lingual experience with Chinese and English travelers. Johnson was great providing beyond expected support when we had issues getting cash from ATM machines in China. I highly recommend China Discovery for a memorable time in China !

I would like to commend Rita Jiang, Tour Consultant from Chinadiscovery. She is very prompt in answering my queries and gave us comprehensive information for the Yangtze River Cruise. I also appreciate her follow up before, during and after our cruise to make sure everything is ok.

I would also highly recommend the Cruise Ship Century Glory. The cabins are comfortable, clean and spacious. The crew always carry on a smile and greet you. They are super helpful and attentive to your needs.

I enjoy the facilities of the cruise, the food and the entertainment by the crew. There is laundry room , very convenient to wash and dry our clothes. Next to it is the cinema....we watch a show while waiting for our laundry to be ready.

The cruise of the three gorges along the Yangtze River is AWESOME. It is as if a chinese inkbrush painting is in front of you. So beautiful. We also stopby to go on land tours such as Fengdu Ghost City, White Emperor City and the Three Gorges Dam (a magnificent infrastructure!)

Overall, a very enjoyable cruise on board Century Glory.

My family & I did a 7 day custom Chengdu & Jiuzhaigou private tour with China Discovery.

Our travel consultant, Rita, had been very patient with our questions, changes & requests (God knows we had many).

She had booked us with 2 really good local guides, Ellen at Chengdu & Mary at Jiuzhaigou. They were very patient & attentive to our needs & preferences with regards to the tour destinations, timing recommendations, & eating at local restaurants to taste the local cuisine.

When we visit China for holiday again, we will make sure to contact China Discovery for a custom tour. Highly recommended.

I had a half day layover in Chengdu and decided to do a half day visit to the panda sanctuary. I contacted China Discovery and told them my timings and asked them if it was even doable in such a short day. They very quickly replied and offered a very well constructed tour package that included hotel pick up, a private guided tour of the panda base, and even an airport drop off. Ellen,my guide was very professional, an expert in Pandas, and took excellent photos. She carefully monitored the time throughout so we got back to the airport well on time.

I can't express how glad I am that I trusted China Discovery to plan my trip instead of sitting at the airport hotel waiting for my connecting flight.

couldn't have done it better any other way. thanks to Johnson who was my planner for my trip to chengdu and jiuzhaigou, 6d5n. we went to all the places that we wanted to see (Sanxingdui, panda base, leshan buddha, jiuzhaigou, huanglongxi old town), and it was executed very well. both tour excorts were great, but Kevin of chengdu in particular. we were very well taken care of and he's so willing to share what he knows with us, one of the most friendly storyteller we've encountered. Johnson also helped book 銀芭 for dinner which was perfect and a must try if you're a foodie like me. i wouldn't hesitate to use their services again for my next trip to china.

Wonder organized a great trip for me and my friends and sent us our favorite guide - Kevin.

Xinlin Snow Mountain is great! You arrive and take a cable car up with your luggage and your hotel is located where all of the fun snow activities. We did tubing, skiing, and other fun things. Prices were reasonable.

The village there has several spots to grab meals and the hotel had a good enough breakfast.

In the morning, Kevin took us up another cable car and we were amazed by the beautiful views from above the clouds! Great for hikers, photographers, and those who want to sit in the sun.

It was a great trip and we look forward to returning next winter. Thanks Wonder and Kevin!

From the airport pick-up to drop-off, everything was great! Wonder, the organizer, was very helpful, and Kevin, our tour guide was beyond great. I totally recommend China Discovery and visiting Sichuan, Chengdu, it's a must!

We enjoyed the 3days trip very much and the best about this trip is the beautiful tour guide who is easy to deal and understand, in addition to the interesting places we visited, a short but enjoyable trip in addition to meeting all our priorities and demands.

It was our Nst trip with China Discovery. They know well how to get away from the crowd during the peak season. Our trip advisor Rita was very helpful, responsive and agile to our personal requests. Looking forward to the next trip with them.

The whole trip was excellent, Vivien arranged everything just the way we wanted and solved every little problem that arouse because of Covid situation, an we still were able to do all the activities we wanted. We even had a little welcome gift waiting for us at the hotel. The guide Kevin was great. We went to the panda base, the irrigation system and the cuisine museum in all of them we avoided the crowds and had a great time on our trip.

Ellen was an amazing guide! She was very knowledgeable! I loved seeing the pandas.I would definitely use Wonder again for another tour!

I travelled with a party of 5 to Chengdu, Chongqing and did a 5-day Yangtze River Cruise with China Discovery. My experience with them was great. Our agent, Jack was very attentive to my group’s needs and was flexible at all times when we had to make changes. He offered timely service and kept me updated on unforeseen modifications in our itinerary. For example, when our flight was as cancelled, he quickly made arrangements for us to take a train to our next destination.

The local tour guides in both Chengdu and Chongqing were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The drivers drove safely and were polite.

Every part of the trip was amazing, but the highlight was definitely the 3 Gorges Cruise down the Yangtze River. The landscape is too beautiful for words. The crew on board were super friendly and the food was amazing!

The sites we visited during this 10- day trip were: Leshan Giant Buddha, Emei Mountain, the Panda Research Base in Chengdu, a day trip in Chongqing and the river cruise. It was action-packed, yet we went at our own pace, mostly due to the heat. I would highly recommend China Discovery and will use their services again in the future.

We booked a ten day tour of Sichuan, Chongqing, and Yangtze River cruise with Tracy. Even though Tracy had only a few days to plan the tour after Covid restrictions were eased, everything was organised impeccably. It was a fantastic mix of sights and experiences, some that we wouldn’t have thought of by ourselves, but with flexibility so we could adjust the schedule to our preferences. Local guides in each place were excellent, and accommodation of high standard. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be definitely booking again with China Discovery.

China discovery programmed 19 days within China for our family.

Our 2 kids,my wife and myself had an amazing time in Chendgu, Guilin, Zhangjiajie and their surroundings areas.

Organisation was just perfect. Our guides were very nice, kind, flexible and also supportive!

Thanks a lot !

I went to Jiuzhaigo and Huangshan recently with a very good assistance from China Discovery Ms. Rita Jiang. Everything arranged by them including flights, hotels, transports, and the Covid QR pass. The local tour guide Mr. Jerry at jiuzhaigo and Ms Selina at Huangshan guided me through the most beautiful places in the world. Thanks to them.

My two friends and I did the one day private tour of Chengdu. We loved it! Our guide Kevin was funny and really knew the area well. We went early in the morning to beat the crowds at the panda research center, and Kevin did a great job of guiding us around in there. The other stops were great too. I really enjoyed walking through People's Park. It was a great day of getting to know Chengdu. Perfect for me as we had limited time and wanted to see the major sights. A big thanks to Wonder at China Discovery who planned a great trip for us and did an excellent job communicating with us before and during the trip. Wonder even sent us a gift to our hotel to welcome us to Chengdu. Wonder made the whole trip easy to plan and enjoy. Thanks to all! I highly recommend this tour!

My Experience was quite exciting and wonderful, the tourist guide (May and Cherry) had strong knowledge of every place, history and Culture. The drivers were on time and very respectful, the hotels were so beautiful and well located and the food was very delicious, I hope I can come back again, thank you very much for your service

We had the pleasure to travel in September to Sichuan for a 9 days private trip in Chengdu, Mount Emei, Jiuzhaigou, Dujiangyan. Thanks to Jack for flawless organisation of guides , Jerry and May, transportation, visits and hotels booking. May shared her knowledge and passion about this province of China, in a perfect way; she s was great guide and support in any circumstances. We had the opportunity to discover Sichuan culture and food. It was an incredible trip, from pandas to landscapes and chinese history. We would recommend Jack and our guides Jerry and May without hesitation. Laurence and Sylvain

Fast response and flexibility. The guide, May, was helpful and responsive to our expectations, ver caring. She adapted the program to our needs. We recommend.

We booked a tour to Sichuan province in June 21. The program covers Kunming, Dali, Shaxi and Lijiang and the whole program was about one week.

This is my second time using China Discovery and I am very please with the service. The coordinator, Leo, is very helpful and gave good advice on the trip. He is also very flexible and accommodative with the trip plan.

Guides we met are great, friendly and professional. We really enjoyed our time in Sichuan and will definitely recommend China Discovery to anyone.

We did a three day trip from Chengdu to Leshan and then Leshan to Emeishan. We hiked Mt. Emei in two days, staying at the base of the mountain on the second day. Echo, our tour organizer, was excellent and extremely quick at responses and answering questions. Our guide Ricky was very knowledgeable about the area's history and culture, and spoke great English. We had a good trip and I would recommend it to others considering it!

Amazing trip through China. Jack was easier to work with and adjusted my schedule as needed. He was professional and it was worth the money for a tailor made tour. The English speaking tour guides were outstanding and the drivers were safe and cars clean. The accommodations were clean and had good service.

My husband and I had a great 4 day trip to Chengdu. We enjoyed seeing the Pandas, the Giant Buddha at Leshan, Golden Summit at Mt Emei and the Dujiangyan Irrigation system and town. Wendy suggested a great itinerary and gave us a choice regarding what hotels we would like to budget for- she was able to accommodate our last-minute change of mind about hotels with no issue. May who travelled with us during the week was an excellent guide, always punctual and extremely attentive and helpful as well as very knowledgeable. We learned a great deal about the history of the area and our driver Mr Deng was also great; we never felt unsafe on the roads. We loved Sichuan food and May took us to wonderful local restaurants where we always ate too much delicious food! All in all a really wonderful trip. Chengdu's people are friendly and lovely. Thank you for organising such a great trip.

We went hiking up in the mountains at the Yading nature park in Daocheng. We hiked to Milk lake (5 kms each way)!at an altitude of 4000 m+. It was a challenging but extremely rewarding experience. The views were breathtaking with the autumn colours and sparkling waters set against the backdrop of the snow covered peaks. We had a very good guide throughout the trip. And our trip was very well organised by Rita at China Discovery. Would highly recommend!

My friend and I did the 2 Day Tour to Emeishan, and Leshan. Leo helped organize everything and May was our tour guide. The trip was fantastic! We started early in the morning on the first day where we were picked up from our downtown hostel location. We were then driven to Emeishan area where we took a bus for 2 hours up the mountain. During this time, May gave us some snacks and told us what to expect from the tour and some history about the places we were going. When we arrived at the area we were going to walk up, we stopped to have lunch first. Then we went up the mountain more, learned many things about the temples we were seeing and the statues we saw. May even helped us to take photos. Afterwards, she helped us book tickets for a Sichuan variety show, helped us find dinner, and then even helped us find our way to the show. May was really kind about making sure we were comfortable and that we can find food. The next day, we woke up to have breakfast in the 3 star hotel, then went to see Leshan and went to an old village to walk around and shop. Overall, the experience was really easy and informative, and the sights were cool.
