The customized itinerary was exactly what we needed. Our guide in Suzhou explained the gardens in such detail, and the private vehicle made travel stress-free. A little rain in Huangshan changed our hiking plans, but the service was outstanding.

Great small group tour in Nanjing. The pace was comfortable, the guide was patient, and the cultural experiences felt authentic. A fantastic way to see China without the stress of planning it yourself.

Sophia L. (Canada)

The trip was very well organized, and our local guide in Shanghai was knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the private car service—it made everything much easier. A bit more time at each stop would have been perfect, but overall a great experience!

Best decision we made for our China tour! Everything was smooth—visa advice, transfers, guides, and even restaurant suggestions. The team went above and beyond to make our family trip memorable. We will definitely book with TravelTides again.
