“An amazing experience, well worth doing and you won’t be beaten on price! We checked already! Before we arrive to China Cathy communicated clear instructions and direction for the day (via what’s app) so we knew what to expect on the day. We provided our hotel information/group size and were collected promptly at 6:45am. Breakfast was provided for us, so ate that on the go. Dropped off at Beijing station, their were a few identification checks then we took the bullet train to Xi’an bay (four hours) and again Cathy sent a message to say you are getting off at the next stop. At Xi’an we were met by our…”

“We recently took a private tour in Suzhou with our guide Berlin, and it was an absolute delight! Berlin's knowledge and enthusiasm about the city's history and culture were infectious, and she went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute requests. The tour was expertly organized, from picking us up at our hotel to arranging bullet train tickets and local transportation. We enjoyed a scenic boat ride, visited iconic monuments, and savored a delicious local lunch. Berlin's professionalism and warm hospitality made our trip truly unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an immersive and stress-free experience in Suzhou!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 124 reviews · from $399

Southern Great Wall day trip from Shanghai by bullet train with hotel pickup, lunch, garden, and Ziyang Old Street, led by a private guide.

“This was a great trip for us, a train trip to a medium sized lake and to a very beautiful, well maintained and large traditional garden without crowds, followed by a walk on the ancient city wall, and then a swift walk through a cute shopping street. Seeing these places with a fantastic, knowledgeable and easy-to-get-along-with guide was wonderful. The guide was skilled with time management. It was just my partner and I with the guide, so the sightseeing was adapted for our interest (no interest in shopping! ). I would recommend the trip based on the above. Downsides are below - knowing in advance is helpful. Need to know:…”

Private bullet train day trip from Shanghai to Hangzhou: West Lake boat ride, Longjing tea, and Lingyin Temple with an English guide.

“Trip was great and we managed to fit in a lot in the amount of time we had. We did the suggested stops and added in our own. The guide Caroline was very energetic and optimised everything on the go to make sure we could fit in everything we wanted. Everything was scheduled well and our lunch was delicious. I would say it is an expensive trip for the price, but worth it if you are short on time.”
