    This was a very special trip for my big birthday where I wanted to take my two sons to China. Our travel professional was Jane, who answered my million questions, promptly and with the utmost patience. She provided us with the right apps to use, transportation assistance, personable and knowledgeable local guides who spoke English. Everything was absolutely perfect and I encourage anyone taking a big trip, to give yourself plenty of time. It took me 10 months to plan with Jane’s help. I plan to use Best Asia Tours again!

    We traveled to China during 05th May to 17th May, 2026. Here goes our comment.

    Guilin & Yangshuo:

    Mr. Tom was an excellent guide in every aspect. He made every experience a great adventure and beyond. With his energy and knowledge, he adjusted the schedule with extra activities such as visiting the pandas, which made it extra special. He is good at explaining everything in a clear and succinct way, since much is guiding us, we loved our time in China and couldn’t have done it without Tom. He is also frequently offering helpful knowledge we very much appreciated. He also took great pictures of us. Mr. Kong, the driver is very courteous & flexible.

    Zhangjiajie, Furong & Fenghuang town:

    Allen is a capable and smart guide who has an optimistic and patient personality. We feel fortunate to have her. She is very good at arranging the schedule and navigating the towns’ sights in an efficient manner. We appreciate her help to negotiate with the photographer and provide us good seats and advice. The driver Mr. Lee is a safe & excellent driver who is courteous to us, other drivers and pedestrians. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Zhengzhou area. The hotel was excellent!

    Beijing:

    Ray Liu is a very knowledgeable and smart guide with excellent English. We learned a lot from him about Chinese history, culture, and current life. He is on time and capable. He shared with us a lot of interesting facts and information, and it was easy to talk to him because he is friendly, talkative and has fluent English. Ray knows his way around & got us everywhere, and it was nice there was a charge port in the back. He can be more courteous to bikers & pedestrians, but we got everywhere safely.
