I cannot say enough good things about this company. My husband and I were overnighting in Beijing on our way home from Japan and decided to do the 2 day tour. From the clarity of the their website, to the quick response to all my emails, to the detailed instructions on how to get the 48 visa...everything was wonderful! Jenny, Runner and Yung were our guides and driver to The Great Wall on day one, and day two we visited the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Tiananmen square. The hotel they selected was great (with breakfast included) and with a fabulous restaurant for dinner right around the corner. Included were stops at a jade factory, pearl factory, silk factory and a tea house for a Chinese tea service. Several reviews I read, people didn't like these as they thought it was just so a tourist would spend money. But why would you not want to visit these places as these goods are also what China is famous for...we loved all of them! We LOVED this experience and highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting China! Five star all the way!! If we happen through China again, we will book another tour with them.

I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful job you did organizing our trip. It absolutely was the best vacation I have ever had. This was my first time over seas and what a wonderful experience i had. China is so beautiful and everyone is so friendly. I can't thank you guys enough for everything and i have even forwarded this email for the rest of the group we traveled with.Thanks again Jenny so very much for all that you and your group did to make this adventure such a huge success. The hotel rooms were perfect and very clean and on Sunday afternoon we had a team building activity which was not only fantastic but also so much fun and the views of the grounds had a very homely feel to it and the meals were excellent.

We booked 2 day tour with this company as we only had 3 days stop over in Beijing. We were very pleased with the service provided also very affordable compared with other companies. We will definately use them again in our next trip to China.

Service was excellent, responses always prompt and appropriate.I was happy with the service and advice: communications were responded to in a timely manner and I would definitely book through ChinaToursNet.com any time again. Having decided to travel only one month before departure accommodation options were limited but Jenny was able to put together a great accommodation location and not forgetting the flexible itinerary at the price range we wanted. All arrangements went well and even transfers were of excellent standard. Some very memorable camera moments captured that will last a lifetime have so much to show just how much fun we had. The trip was fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending chinatoursnet.com to anyone in assisting with putting together another great itinerary.
