Visit Our China, Experience Your Way!

A journey to revive sweet memories of our honeymoon after 45 years.

How to navigate China for the second time after 45 years for a couple over 70 years old? We spent part of our honeymoon in China in 1978 together with a Spanish speaking tour group when China just opened its door to the outside world. It was the era of "Friendship stores" and "food ration coupons". Tourists could only shop at government designated stores and the ordinary local people lived on rationed food, notwithstanding, tourists were treated with the highest honor and the best of everything including food. By then, the main transportation tool in cities were bicycles. From balconies of hotels, we saw never ending long queue of people on bicycles heading to work every morning. Since then, China has developed into a super modern and industrialized country. Shopping is a bliss nowadays. Motorized vehicles and lots of EV has replaced a huge part of the fleet of human-driven bicycles since. Infrastructure-wise China is the pioneer nowadays. Over the years, the only retained memories are the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Pandas. There was an incident which I could not forget either. We went to a theater at night for an opera and I lost my wallet with all my documents and some money ( a small fortune for the Chinese people by then). I was very nervous and didn't know what to do. When we got back to the hotel, my wallet was waiting for me at the reception. Somebody found it at the theatre and sent it to the hotel where we were lodged. Everything was back, nothing missing. Again, it was 1978! Impressed! So, we wanted to visit China again to revive the lost sweet memories and hoping to gain more of them.
Being seniors, we don't have the energy to follow a vigorous group tour anymore. Could we plan and schedule our own tour in this wonderland like the modern China? The answer is simple, No! I don't know the language well enough and have no knowledge of the city areas for choices like accommodations and transportations. In order to travel safely, efficiently and have a peek of this modern country in a relaxed and self-paced way, we decided to look for help and support for a private tour.
We started by visiting the visa application center web site of Vancouver, BC and on the way, we came across the name visitourchina.com. Without much expectation, we sent out a request for help to visiting Guilin, Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an and added Zhangjiajie at last moment. A prompt, warm and enthusiastic reply surprised us. From then on, every request and wish were matched including budget accommodations and transportation. Lisa, the travel agency representative, has gone as far as promising to book window seats for us both on air and on high-speed trains.
After receiving an invitation letter from the agency, visas were granted in 4 days. Once landed in China, we were met with the promised excellent logistic and attention. Prompt private transportation and hotels with luscious breakfasts offered a super comfortable tour experience. Private tour guides are language efficient, knowledgeable, energetic and willing to answer every question, besides enthusiastic warm receptions.
We met Lisa, a charming lady, at Guilin and were received with the highest honor as tourists. During the entire tour, we felt that we were treated more as families than clients. Window seats? Yes! Special attention? Yes! Memorable tour? Yes!
One thing worth mentioning in the tour in Zhangjiajie is the high physical demand but it is a life experience that you won't want to miss. For seniors, there are plenty of help if you are willing to spend a little extra. The high-altitude wire slide, the glass-bridges, the one-of-a-kind National Forest Park and the Tian Men Cave all gathered in one place on earth!
Guilin is a sight-seeing empire that I wanted to visit since I was a little boy. The Li River Cruise, Longj Rice terraces and the Reed Flute Cave are absolutely stunning. Mia, the tourist guide has exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Lisa, Mia, Maria, all the rest of guides and drivers, one of our life-long wishes is fulfilled in a very enjoyable and unforgettable way.

Family bonding at Guangzhou

The services rendered from the travel agency is prompt. Very responsive and cater my tour according to my requests. The tour guides assigned to us were also caring and helpful. I continue to seek inquiries after our tour ended and they continued to response promptly. This is my second trip with this company and will continue to engage them when I next return to china.

Amazing!

Both tours to Guilin and Beijing were amazing! I visited so many wonderful places! The quides were very friendly and hospitable, thanks for everything! Happy to choose this agency because the programme included all interesting places and they did their best to make my Dreams come true!

Great Xi’an Tour Experience

Booked a 2 day private tour of Xi’an with Grace as our local tour guide. Really good service from both the booking agent Lisa as well as Grace and the driver Mr Wang. Managed to see all the big sights including Terracotta Warriors, City Wall, Bell Tower and Big Wild Goose Pagoda. They took care of everything and gave good local food recommendations. Travelled with my father who walks quite slow, but they managed to accomodate him no problem. 10/10 would recommend.

From China with Wonderful Memories-The Proficient Vistourchina!

What a wonderful tour trip I and my wife had in China. Thanks to Visitourchina, a professional Tour Agency that helped to plan and execute this trip for us. Our trip was customized by careful selection of the cities and what exactly to see in those cities. Guangzhou, Guilin and Beijing you were so amazing. Our memories cant forget that experience of walking on that terrifying but safe Gulong Canyon glass bridge, the Reed Flute Cave in Guilin left us mouth agape as it was the first to see such kind of huge and beautiful cave. The boat cruise in Li River and its wonderful mountainous scenery showed us how nature can be so beautiful. Beijing gave us a glimpse of China history and that was a mesmerizing moment for us. The Forbiden city, the Temple of Heaven and the famous Mutianyu Great wall all displayed the wonderful ancient masterpieces in architectural designs. Kudos to Visitourchina, your responses and actions to our inquiries and requests were so quick, the logistics were to the point. We recommend Visitourchina to everyone who is visiting China, you will not go wrong

Excellent experience in China

MY DEAR Lisa,
VISIT OUR CHINA,

What an absolute pleasure it was exploring historic city of Guilin through your company. Thank you immensely for providing Mona as my tour guide. It was truly an unforgettable experience!!!!!!!

Her knowledge and passion for the Guilin city were truly awe-inspiring and I enjoyed every minute of it. I learned so much and was amused at each & every stop on the tour exploring classical Guilin.

My exceptional memory was when she arranged for me to travel to Yangshuo through Li River.

Her enthusiasm for this long but an extremely beautiful scenic travel through the river by a cruise and its breathtaking picturesque scenes were absolutely stunning and I really amused getting to learn her command on the topic.

I also really appreciate all the time she spent walking me around Yangshuo and showing me it’s beautiful landscape

Thank you again, and if I ever get the chance to come back to Guilin. I will certainly be calling on you for another tour !!!!!!!

Very sincerely your,
S. K. Humayun

Incredible excursion in the mountains

We did a two-day excursion with Lily in Guilin, starting with the Li River cruise, the bamboo canoe ride, and the second day we went up to the rice fields in the mountains: the experience was magnificent, the landscapes were beautiful, and the organization and coordination from both the agency and Lily was excellent: from the moment we arrived in Guilin, they warmly welcomed us at the airport and helped us organize everything, including some hotel details such as breakfast and check-in. Lily knows a lot, making our stay and knowledge of the place much easier and more pleasant, and the walks are very complete, organizing all the details, explaining local customs and stories, always accompanied and very well informed. 100% recommendable

Huangshan Mountain Tour

I did a solo trip to Huangshan mountain near Shanghai and I cannot recommend this company enough! Lisa from Visit Our China was very helpful and she offered a customized experience based on what I needed which included my private tour, helping to book accommodation and hotel pick up and drop off from the train station. I was a little nervous to travel alone here, but she took care of everything and answered every question I had. Would highly recommend!

Exceptional Planning and Trip Support

Lisa's assistance with my pre-trip preparations was absolutely outstanding! Her suggestions were exceptional, and her attention to detail was remarkable. She crafted a customized itinerary that perfectly suited my preferences and provided valuable insights and tips. Lisa's responsiveness and dedication to ensuring a memorable travel experience were commendable. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone seeking expert guidance for their next adventure. Thank you, Lisa, for your exceptional service! Lisa’s email: guixia@visitourchina.com

AMAZING TAILORED SERVICE!

I WAS SO IMPRESSED BY THE SERVICE I RECEIVED. NORA FROM VISIT OUR CHINA CREATED TWO DAYS OF BESPOKE WEEKEND SIGHTSEEING FOR ME AT SHORT NOTICE AND KEPT IN TOUCH TO SEE THAT ALL WAS OKAY. THE GUIDE (LILY) AND DRIVER WERE OUTSTANDING, AND REALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR WORK. NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE, INCLUDING AMENDING MY TOUR TO ADD ANOTHER HISTORICAL VISIT. I WILL CERTAINLY USE VISIT OUR CHINA AGAIN!

Private 14 Day Feast Tour of China - the Ultimate Experience

Molly at Visit Our China professionally arranged our itinerary for a splendid trip to China! She worked with me on personal requests such as arranging a kung fu lesson in the Shaolin Temple area! We learned so much about the history and culture, and enjoyed so much delicious food from the various areas of China. The personal guides provided first class service and answered all our questions. Traveling with personal guides was so much better than being part of a large group. We met a lot of nice people and had so many wonderful experiences. All the guides provided personal insights to see China through their eyes. No time was wasted on shopping tours, and no time was wasted waiting for buses or transportation. The private vehicle made transportation fast and convenient! The guides were willing to do anything for us to insure we were happy travelers including helping us select top restaurants. In Beijing, they took us to see Peking Opera! The hotels were all first class with amazing breakfast buffets to get us started for the day. This was the ultimate experience! I highly recommend VOC, I will use them again.

12 Days Silk Route Private Tour for 6

We booked a 12 Days Silk Road Private Tour for 6 (starting from the ancient city of Luoyang all the way to Urumqi in Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China) with VisitOurChina tour company in August of this year. I have previously worked with Sandy our tour coordinator for a Private Tour to Huangshan last year. She is experienced and very professional. We had a wonderful trip! It's no wonder I sought her out again to plan for this once-in-a-lifetime trip. We completed the tour in October and I can honestly say that it was a truly wonderful and memorable experience. Sandy patiently worked with me to plan and coordinate every aspect of the trip meticulously down to the last detail. As luck would have it, we had an inauspicious start to our journey. We were caught in a traffic jam in Beijing when we arrived and we missed our High speed train ride to Luoyang! I called Sandy and she helped book us hotel rooms in Beijing for the night and secured train tickets for early the next morning to Luoyang. THANK YOU~ Sandy! Everything went smoothly after that. Our local guides were most accommodating and gracious. They were quite fluent (I booked an English speaking tour) and very knowledgeable about the local history and have plenty of interesting information to share on all the palces we visited. Their help was invaluable in dealing with hotel checking-ins, check-outs and transportation details as well. Having to move in and out of hotels daily and trying to catch all those train on time was very stressful~they made the whole process expedient and convenient. All our private vans were spacious & clean. The drivers were very accommodating (unscheduled bathroom breaks!) and nice as well. We visited more than six UNESCO Heritage Sites on this trip. The Silk Road is one of the most significant route linking the ancient societies of Asia, The Subcontinent, Central Asia, Western Asia, The Near East to Europe and contributed to the development of many great civilizations. If you seek a sense of adventure and wonder, this is the trip to take. We definitely recommends it. Happy Travels! ~ Gracie C
