Tour Reviews

I cannot thank WildChina enough for giving my friend an experience of a lifetime in Beijing – all on very short notice. They could have said ‘no’, but instead they said ‘yes’ and even went above and beyond to make her first time to China an incredible visit. I referred my friend to WildChina after experiencing my first tour with them more than 10 years ago in Yunnan, and it is a journey I will never forget. I am happy to say that WildChina continues to live up to expectations after starting out more than a decade ago. Their guides are incredibly knowledgeable and truly care about providing the best experience possible for you. I highly recommend!

We were very, very happy with Jerry from Wild China. Very knowledgeable and helpful and a genuinely lovely guy. He was tuned in to what we wanted, was flexible and took us to a couple surprise places we hadn’t thought of as well as all the things we were keen to see. This was particularly impressive given that our flight in was delayed and we needed to catch up on some sleep the morning of our first day. We would happily recommend Jerry to anyone.

I don’t know how to properly thank you both for two magnificent days of experiencing Beijing. With the wonderful Julia by my side, I was able to take everything in without the nagging worries of where to go and how to get there. Through this visit, I’m convinced that China is a place that time-limited visitors should never do without a tour guide. Julia’s expert navigation and deep knowledge of the historic sites we visited allowed me to maximize my enjoyment as well as save valuable time from standing in lines and getting caught in crowd-induced confusion. I am so deeply humbled by your generosity and kindness. I will remember this forever.

We want to thank Wild China for helping us travel to Xi’an and to Yunnan Province, They made our trip so successful. All our guides were helpful and interesting. They are well-organized, knowledgeable, caring, fun to be around, interesting to talk to, and patient. We appreciate the flexibility of the program and catering to our particular interests. We also thankful to all drivers. Our program was very diverse and engaging, and at the same time, it was not tiresome. Both Xi’an and Yunnan were perfect choices for us. Thank you for carefully choosing our lodging; hutong hotels in Xizhou, Shaxi, and Shuhe were perfect, and all proprietors very helpful and hospitable. We are happy to recommend Wild China to anyone who is planning the trip. We never would be able to see that much without Wild China.

We want to thank you and all your colleagues at WildChina who help us to make our trip so successful. All our guides were so helpful and so interesting. Thank you very much to well-organized Abraham, knowledgeable Carrie, caring Frank, fun to be around Shelly, so interesting to talk to Huang, and patient Michael (by the way, each of these definitions may be addressed to each of the guides). We appreciate the flexibility of the program and catering to our particular interests. Especially thank you, Alice, for making our program so diverse and interesting and at the same time not too tiresome. Both Xi’an and Yunnan were perfect choices for us.

Wild China recently organised a very quick visit for us to The Great Wall…we only have 1-night available, and they managed to provide the perfect experience. We stayed at The Brickyard Hotel at Mutianyu, which was a perfect location (and we were fortunate to have a dinner hosted by the owners, which was a really great experience). Our guide, Jerry, was world-class, and super informative. If you don’t have much time, but want to experience one of the great wonders of the world, definitely get hold of Wild China to arrange. They also do a 2-day walking tour, which we want to try next time. Visit TripAdvisor to read more.

Je suis à l’origine de ce voyage en Chine ayant déjà fait travailler cette agence avec Véronique d’Antras

3 voyage avec l’adiaf.1 avec les amis de Pompidou,1.avec l’association des jardins.

Tout S’est toujours admirablement passé

À Pékin où les personnes qui critiquent étaient présentes tout était très organisé grâce à nos contacts .

J’ai eu connaissance chaque fois que des mails odieux arrivaient à Veronique d’Antras. Elle y répondait avec courtoisie, retenue compte tenu des propos.

Je ne me doutais pas que cela dégénérait comme cela .

J’espère que TripAdvisor saura faire la part des choses.

Au fond une critique sur ce voyage par rapport aux autres participants n’est pas suffisante pour démolir la réputation de cette agence qui fait son travail avec coeur et professionnalisme,

Nous pensons tout le bien de Robin qui nous a accompagné tout au long de ce voyage

Son attention permanente à tous les souhaits de chacun est un modèle .

Positivons

Best of all were our guide Shelly and our driver Joe. They quickly understood our interest in Yunnan’s ethnic diversity and shaped our itinerary to match our interests. Our accommodations in boutique hotels gave us a sense of living in the community rather than in a sterile large hotel environment. Whether your interest is in outdoor activities, learning about religion or culture, or enjoying great local food, we strongly recommend booking with WildChina and traveling with Shelly and Joe – it was a once in a lifetime experience for us!

We were absolutely delighted at every aspect of our China trip. Each of our guides, even those who unexpectedly had to substitute for another, was outstanding in his or her own way. We have seen a number of samples of warriors at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the NYC metropolitan museum, but those exhibits cannot compare to seeing the soldiers in their natural sites! I should also add that the hotel accommodations were outstanding — especially the Waldorf, the Dunhuang Silk Road Hotel and the Peninsula. In conclusion, it was an outstanding trip — perfect in almost every way thanks to WildChina.

P.F.5 June 2017

Our group of four booked a ten day tour of Yunnan province through WildChina (stops in Dali, Lijiang and Shangri La). All travel arrangements went smoothly. Our accommodations in boutique hotels gave us a sense of living in the community rather than in a sterile large hotel environment. The three hotels (Sky Valley Heritage in Dali, Bivou in Lijiang, and Songstam in Shangri La) were elegant, comfortable, and welcoming. Best of all were our guide Shelly and our driver Joe. They quickly understood our interest in Yunnan’s ethnic diversity and shaped our itinerary to match our interests. I suspect that they would help tailor different but equally satisfying itineraries for tourists with different interests. Shelly is a smart, warm, curious, well-informed, attentive and funny woman. She has developed personal friendships and contacts with impressive people from different ethnic groups who were gracious enough to welcome us into their homes. These informal interactions gave us a real flavor of life in Yunnan and its spectacular ethnic diversity. Joe, our driver, also invited us to meet with his family and his uncle, an authority on Naxi pictographs and culture. Although we focused on learning about ethnic minorities, we also had a chance to wander local markets, bicycle alongside rice paddies, hike the Leaping Tiger Gorge, and walk through small villages. Whether your interest is in outdoor activities, learning about religion or culture, or enjoying great local food, we strongly recommend booking with WildChina and traveling with Shelly and Joe – it was a once in a lifetime experience for us!

Many foreign tour companies bring in foreigners for their tour guides to “explain” China and they leave little permanent benefit to the areas they visit. With Wild China, they have developed deep contacts into the best ways to experience this big and diverse country…I have recommended Wild China to international colleagues, organizations traveling in China with private planes, to families wanting a unique trekking experience in unchartered wilderness. In all cases, Wild China never fails to deliver, and it’s a company that always finds a way to give you an unforgettable, — if not totally unexpected — life trip. Visit TripAdvisor to read more.

In my work I have travelled over a million miles to visit both monumental and little known but amazing architectural and cultural sites around the globe. In China, I have relied solely on WildChina not only to get me there and back safely from even the most exotic and remote locations, but also to help me experience the local cultures and people in the most sensitive and revealing of ways. More than just the places and sites, it’s the people, their history and ways of living that define what of makes great places in the world, treasured.

One of the great admirations I hold for WildChina is not only for its ability to help foreigners “see China in a different way”, but the way it has built up the local tourism infrastructure throughout China as part of its business program. This was obvious from the very first trip I took with WildChina in 2004. The use of local young tour experts based not only in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, but throughout even remote areas of the country (as in Shanxi and Yunnan provinces, and the Tibet Autonomous Region) is impressive as it is moving.

We had a delightful week, and greatly appreciate Raymond’s knowledge, passion for his work and attention to detail. He is a consummate professional, as well as most comfortable and relaxed to be with. Of the many guides I’ve had on my travels around the world over the decades, Raymond is the best I can recall.

K.T.25 May 2017

Everything is going very well. The guides have been excellent, the Rosewood and Ritz Carlton outstanding. We’ve enjoyed the choice of restaurants and the food has been lots of fun.

Overall, WildChina has been very professional in every way.

We’re just back from an amazing week in China. Thanks to you and WildChina for all the hard work to make the trip work so well. Everything was wonderful! We lucked out on weather and pollution levels, the hotels were well-located and luxurious and our guides and drivers were excellent. We especially loved our guide in Beijing. So many iconic sights to enjoy — and so many interesting political differences between China and the US. Wow!”

J.L.29 April 2017

This is my second time traveling with Wild China – a year and a half ago I booked a 2 week trip with them to Xi’an, Beijing, Guilin, Ping’ an, and Jiangjiajie. Outstanding then, outstanding now. This time we went to Angkor Wat in Cambodia first, then up to the Yunnan province where we toured Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri-la and then flew out of Beijing after a quick day trip to the Great Wall. Loved all of it, our guides, the trip, the food, the hotels. Every place had its own amazing quality. Our only complaint was that we didn’t spend alot of time in each location, but that was our own doing, not Wild China’s. Our hike up and into Tiger Leaping Gorge, and our stay at the Tea Horse Guesthouse was outstanding, tho i think my travel companion thought i was trying to kill her 🙂 Our guide Shelly and driver Joe were both amazing there as well.

Climbing up to the Tea Horse guesthouse – the views were OUTSTANDING. Our accommodations throughout were super; in particular we loved the vibe at Songtsam. Traveling through the little village near Lijiang and going to a tea ceremony – fun! Walking on the other part of the Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall was very lovely, and probably suited our combined fatigue levels after the hike.

We had a wonderful trip to Beijing, thanks to Mei Zhang and her WildChina team. Poppy was very positive and responsive to our every need, and Jerry was one of the best tour agents we’ve ever had – very warm, intelligent, positive, and helpful – we really enjoyed our time with him. We also enjoyed the art tour with Wei Wei – we learned a lot and enjoyed our time in the art space at 789. And Restaurant TRB was a real treat – one of our favorite restaurants in the world today, not just Asia or China. We had a fantastic meal there, and enjoyed a great waiter – Fran from Spain. Please extend our thanks to your entire team, and our heartfelt gratitude to you for organizing a truly memorable trip to Beijing. I hope our paths cross in the Bay Area soon.

We had a terrific experience with WildChina. Ours was a two-week trip, with stays in Beijing, Chengdu, and Shanghai, as well as very different rural experiences in the Yunnan Province. In particular, we were interested in a specially-designed, unique travel experience, hopefully seeing and doing things that aren’t on the “usual” tour/trip. WildChina exceeded expectations significantly, and were able to design something that fit our preferences and goals. In addition, we got the sense that they were dialed-in and following our progress throughout the trip, and, at one point when we were considering a real-time adjustment (due to some weather concerns), were incredibly responsive in working through alternatives. WildChina provided four different guides and drivers for the various legs of our trip, and they were all excellent (fluent English, informative, engaging, and personable). Jenny Zhao and her team at WildChina did a wonderful job, and we’d recommend them highly.

A big thank you from the C family for an unforgettable tour of China. Please convey our thanks to the guides & drivers in the various destinations. There were too many natural & man made highlights to single out any. The two shows rank right up with all the other highlights though. We will certainly recommend WildChina to any South Africans as the only way to tour & see China.

Our guide in Hong Kong, was a “Best of the Best”. We connected with her quite quickly and she made us feel extremely comfortable. Also, as an anecdotal example of Liz’s thoughtfulness, Pam had mentioned to Liz some chronic intestinal issues she deals with. At second day, Liz showed up with some traditional local remedies for Pam’s condition that were the result of Liz’s research and shopping the night before. On the last day in Hong Kong was actually a bit emotional for us, Liz had small parting gifts for us that were thoughtful reminders of our time in Hong Kong and also included individual hand written notes for us. Wow! I can’t imagine a return trip to Hong Kong without getting to enjoy Liz’s company and expert guidance once again.

I’d say that, without reservation, Olivia was simply outstanding. She was born and raised in Kowloon and has carefully researched the history and many aspects of the city. Her knowledge and use of English was impeccable, including the vernacular. She used an iPad while touring and showed us photos of what areas looked like “before” as we were seeing the “after.” Mei was personable and knowledgeable. Jay, our guide in Yangshuo, was also an outstanding guide. Both Journeys Within and WildChina provided us with top-notch service.

A&K. S23 February 2017

We traveled as a family to Beijing and Xi’an. Pre-trip planning was done via our travel agent, with excellent communication with the WildChina folks via email. Questions were answered promptly, and all the information we got was absolutely correct.

A snowstorm forced changes to 3 days of our plans – but our guide Michael handled all of it effortlessly. (At least it appeared effortless – I think it was a ton of effort on his part!) Traveling as a family of 4 (with 12- and 13-year-old daughters), having a personal driver, car and guide was great – never having to find a place to park, and essentially no lines at any of the places we visited. WildChina had arranged all entrances ahead of time, so it really let us make efficient use of time. Michael was able to engage the kids at each location, while also giving great background information along with cultural reference.

Jessica was our guide in Xi’an, and was also excellent. Again challenged by weather, she was able to find a cave home for us to visit (the first one planned was iced in), and all of us came away with an incredible experience, and a much better appreciation for the multi-generational living arrangements the family established.

Airport and train transfers were seamless, and again took all the stress out of travel planning.

We don’t usually use a tour planner / guides, but for this trip, I am incredibly grateful for the services WildChina provided. We have plans to return to China to see different parts of the country and hope to work with them again.

Our trip was wonderful. All of WildChina’s guides and arrangements, without exception, were excellent, and we couldn’t have been happier. I also want to thank you personally for all of your attention to detail. We will certainly recommend you to anyone who is interested in a trip to China, and based upon our experience, everyone should be interested in a trip to your amazing country!

We hired Mei and her team at Wild China to plan our two-week trip to China in November, 2016. Their performance actually exceeded our expectations by a fair margin. Their guides and drivers are very knowledgeable and personable; in fact, they are an important part of the fun. Every individual we had contact with from WildChina, without exception, was highly responsive to our needs and desires. China is a fabulous destination on its own, but we have little doubt our trip was greatly enhanced by the detailed, personal service rendered by Mei and her team. Visit Wendy Perrin for more

The attention to detail by WildChina made this trip our best ever! They made it so stress-free. Nice balance of physical exertion, mental stimulation, good food and lovely hotels for resting and reenergizing. Best of all were the guides. I appreciated not feeling any of the usual stresses of traveling with WildChina making it go so flawlessly. This was far beyond the details I could have planned on my own. I shall sing the praises of WildChina to anyone contemplating a trip to China. The expression “The devil is in the details” is an expression that WildChina takes to heart resulting in such flawless delivery of services. I cannot think of a way to make them a more perfect touring company. Accolades for a job well done.

Zhangjiajie and Huangshan were beautiful. Thanks again for your attention and personalized care during the trip itself. I always knew you were there and would be able to step in to help should anything have gone amiss. I’m amazed and grateful that I made the whole 5 weeks without getting sick… The guides were excellent. John is especially good. Many thanks.

We had a wonderful time in China and overall Wild China did a super job of making our trip particularly great. I know I LOVED the biking in Beijing and the hiking in Nepal. All of our guides were punctual and the drivers were great. My favorite guides were Michael in Beijing and Sonom in Tibet. I loved the Hilton Xi’an and we had a wonderful stay at the St. Regis. I would highly recommend Wild China to anyone as we were happy with everything. I might add you also did a wonderful job of coordinating the itinerary.

M.P.19 September 2016

Our trip to Beijing and Xi’an was a wonderful experience for all. Jerry was not only very knowledgable, but also very kind and patient. And at times, patience is needed when dealing with 75 year old tourists who can be forgetful and ask the same things multiple times! We will definitely recommend Wild China to our friends, and hope to be back again some time.

C.J. & N.J.18 September 2016

We never thanked you again for the amazing memories you helped us create in Tibet last year. Thank you for all your help and we do intend to come back! We also have a few friends who are keen to go – will send them your way where they are ready.

WildChina coordinated a really “wild China” experience for us. Our trip focused on history and the relationship between the Chinese and Americans in pre-WWII and immediately thereafter. We visited (with the help of our guides and the structure provided by Ms. Zhao) museums, battlefields. air strips, nature preserves. Chinese villages and much more…I have trouble simply leaving a reference for them as a “tour group” since they did so much more to make our experience so meaningful and a complex travel process so easy and enjoyable. The best part of the trip was the informative and dedicated services we received from our WildChina guides.

We connected with WildChina and one of their directors, a Ms. Zhao, who assisted us in arranging guides, experiences and internal travel in Beijing and in several stops in Western China near the border with Myanmar. Our tip focused on history and the relationship between the Chinese and Americans in pre-WWII and immediately thereafter. We visited (with the help of our guides and the structure provided by Ms. Zhao) museums, battlefields. air strips, nature preserves. Chinese villages and much more. We had “best in class” accommodations along the way and we enjoyed a running travelogue form our guides. I have trouble simply leaving a reference for them as a “tour group” since they did so much more to make our experience so meaningful and a complex travel process so easy and enjoyable.

In summary, a nine day trip with numerous stops every day – focused on history and culture and the natural beauty of the region. The best part of the trip was the informative and dedicated services we received from our WildChina guides.

Wild China Beijing was outstanding. Our tour guide Raymond really made our trip. Raymond was smart, knowledgeable and genuine. We felt like we really learned about not just China and its history but about being Chinese. Really great experience for us. Lilly in Hong Kong was very nice and informative. She was very helpful and responsive when we were exploring adding a day trip. Our final dinner at Gaddi’s in the Pennisula was a great ending. It was everything we remembered in a fine dining experience. Looking forward to our next adventure.

Highly recommend WildChina! Our travel agent referred us to WildChina for Beijing and Xi’an tours. The guides were very knowledgeable and engaging. They made our trip. We also used WildChina for airport transportation in Beijing and Hong Kong; even traveling business class their service was extremely valuable particularly at check-in to navigate the different processes and huge crowds.

Just writing to say hi and thank you for organizing the larger room for us. We really appreciated it particularly since we are spoiled with upgrade at every other hotel we have booked on our trip. The dream catcher and the book are a lovely touch as well. Most importantly Jerry has been delightful to have with us . Very informative, knowledgeable, and great company. He was one of the best guide we have had and we have traveled extensively. Driver also very good. Thanks again for negotiating on our behalf with the hotel. The room change makes a big difference to our experience.

I wanted to let you know how much Flo helped my family this week.My son lost his passport the day before we were flying back to the United States. Flo assisted us in every step of the process from obtaining a new passport and a new visa. She even walked us into the airport to our checkin. My son and I spent many hours in her company, and besides being totally professional and competent, she was funny and made the time fly by. I truly believe we were able to leave China a few days earlier because of her help. She represented your company very well.

From planning to execution, you can be confident that you will receive excellent service from WildChina. We started planning our trip with them almost a year ago and we had endless questions which were all answered promptly…One thing that I especially liked was that the guides took us into the airports and helped us to get checked in…They also helped us to get checked in to our hotels. Since we speak almost no Chinese and the English of staff members can vary, having the guides assist us really reduced our anxiety. The guides were able to add short activities to our itinerary on the spur of the moment – a visit to a reflexology center and shopping, for instance. The guides tried very hard to make us happy.

From planning to execution, you can be confident that you will receive excellent service from WildChina. We started planning our trip with them almost a year ago and we had endless questions which were all answered promptly. After planning the whole trip, we had to make changes to the itinerary about 3 weeks before departure, and the changes were all handled seamlessly. The 3 different guides and drivers we had were all professional, helpful and kind. Some of the guides had better English than others, but all had very good English. One thing that I especially liked was that the guides took us into the airports and helped us to get checked in (for our departure home and for the several internal flights we had). They also helped us to get checked in to our hotels. Since we speak almost no Chinese and the English of staff members can vary, having the guides ] assist us really reduced our anxiety. The guides were able to add short activities to our itinerary on the spur of the moment – a visit to a reflexology center and shopping, for instance. The guides tried very hard to make us happy. Right after our return, WildChina solicited our feedback regarding the trip – that shows true professionalism.

I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time my mom and I had in Beijing and Tibet. Our guides in both places were the most wonderful and kind and informed guides I’ve ever had.

I just wanted to thank you for helping us to have such a fabulous visit to Beijing. Jerry was a terrific guide, and the activities that you planned for us gave us a fantastic understanding of the city, and some understanding of Chinese culture more broadly.

We will definitely be back to visit China again, and will look forward to working with you on our next trip.

Thanks again.

The trip was nothing short of spectacular and was wonderfully enjoyable in every way. Needless to say, everything associated with the carefully-planned restaurant excursions and markets, and Fuchsia‘s food and shopping research was exceptional and unparalleled. It would have been extremely difficult for a foreign tourist to get access to that level of cooking, including regional and ethnic specialties, without the expertise of Fuchsia and the Wild China guides and trip planners. That was truly the best.
