Overall very helpful

By: Angie


Reviewed on: 03 Nov 2014

Our travel agent used the services of Wild China for our recent trip to Shanghai and Beijing. Overall the guides were good and having their services proved very helpful in a country where the language & driving were very different from our own. 2 of our 3 guides were quite insightful & accommodating and enhanced our trip in many ways. Our only complaint was that 1 of the guides in Shanghai was quick to deliver us to tourist-trap locations where she would receive a kick-back from any purchase we made. We only learned of this after we had already made a few unwise purchases and then wished maybe we had spent less time with her. My advice would be to use the help, but be forewarned & slightly wary of any guide suggested "tours" or shopping.

We spent two full days touring Beijing with Wild China and they really could not have been better. Couldn't ask our guide a question he couldn't answer about what were seeing (and in 9.5/10 english fluency). Always on time and always with a smile and great attitude throughout the tour. Very flexible, even on the fly! We made several requests in the car that required slight deviations from the original plan. No problem.

WildChina Exceeds Erwin Family Expectations of China

Rachel Dicker partnered with WildChina to plan our custom Chinese Adventure for our family of four (two boys ages 12 and 16). We experienced REAL China! We're a global family and we've never experienced the professionalism and attention-to-detail as we did from both Wild China (supervisor Kendra Tombolato) and Rachel Dicker Travel (owner Rachel Dicker). We particularly want to say that Joyce Ying (Shanghai), An Na (Beijing), Jessica Zhu (Xian), Dustin Zhang (Chengdu), James Lee (Guilin), and David Leung (Hong Kong) enhanced our trip each day with their warmth, humor, knowledge, and suggestions of off-the-beaten-path of things to see, do, buy and explore...things we would have never discovered on our own. Things we didn't necessarily plan for as well as fulfilling our requests of stuff we wanted to do. They are true GEMS in the sea of tour guides. We cannot say enough about how they made our trip and memories of China unforgettable.

So glad to have this group as a resource for airport transfers and especially in Beijing where weather became a factor and Nancy Hsu and the team were able to completely rearrange their days and schedules at the last minute in order to accommodate our requests. Couldn’t have been more grateful for that and I would recommend this team to anyone with travel needs in China.

The guides were well educated, courteous, kind, thoughtful, and friendly. They were all knowledgeable about each area we visited. We could not have navigated this trip without the guides. Also, the trip was too vast and expansive to try and go it alone. Literally, we would never have gotten out of Beijing without the guide's help. Also, when the chair lift at the park stopped working, when our car over heated and when we needed a toilet, we were graciously helped! It was a trip of a lifetime and we loved every minute of the vacation. Many of the details were so well suited to our family- hiking, natural sites, luxurious lodges, delicious (and clean, safe) food and water, tea, religious monuments, and a spacious and comfortable van. We felt safe and well attended at all times.

Shirley, Joyce and David were excellent guides. All full of useful and interesting information regarding their respective cities. TingTing was knowledgeable, but was late to arrive for our morning tour and got us to the airport for departure to Shanghai rather close to departure time. The schedule was somewhat tight but was as expected. The guides were good for the most part in allowing us some flexibility. Overall, excellent tour!.

Wild China was outstanding. Their guides and drivers were professional, kind, fun and personable. They were very accommodating to our needs and requests. Jerry in Beijing is probably the BEST guide we have ever had anywhere!!! We wish we could have brought him home with us. No one should tour The Great Wall or Beijing without him. He is so knowledgeable and kind. It was so great to not have to research our destination or plan any aspects of our trip. We just followed our itinerary and Wild China took care of all of the details. They were fantastic and I would highly recommend them.

Beijing, Xi'An, Shanghai Family Trip Xmas/NY 2019_20

By: NYC Family


Reviewed on: 11 Jan 2020

Wild China, and particularly its guides, were MATERIALLY above our expectations. From the moment we hit the ground in Beijing on December 26th, to the moment we went through the security gate in Shanghai on January 3rd, Wild China provided guides, experts, and written material that made the entire trip a seamless success that our family will remember forever. A particularly unexpected highlight of our days with Wild China guiding us, were the "experts" that accompanied us and our Wild China guide for specific experiences- examples- a walking "breakfast tour" in the Hutongs in Beijing, a fascinating architectural/history tour in Shanghai, and a tour of the French Concession in Shanghai. Finally, the three guides we had in Beijing, Xi'An and Shanghai were all extremely knowledgeable, fun, and flexible- particularly important given we were with our kids. AAA+

Our trip to China, curated by Plane Jane Travel, was nothing short of exceptional. Every detail was thoughtfully tailored to our interests and travel style. From start to finish, we felt completely taken care of. The hotels were stunning—beautifully appointed and offering impeccable service. But what truly made the experience so memorable were the tour guides affiliated with WildChina. Their deep knowledge, warmth, and professionalism brought each destination to life. We loved every moment of the journey and are beyond grateful for the personalized care that went into planning it. We highly recommend Plane Jane Travel to anyone looking for a meaningful, well-organized, and unforgettable travel experience.

This is our first experience with WildChina. We lived in China for four years and have visited many times. This trip was unique because they brought us so much new knowledge about every single place we visited. The guides were kind, attentive and very professional. Well done. I would suggest the hotel in Xian is improved.

Most memorable part of our visit was with wild china guides

By: Caro & olivia


Reviewed on: 29 Aug 2025

The Wild China guides we had in Kunming, Lijiang, and Beijing were an absolutely perfect fit for our trip. Each one was chosen thoughtfully to match the style of activities we had planned, and it showed in every experience. They weren’t just knowledgeable, but also engaging, flexible. Shelly was absolutely perfect for our fun-filled day at the glass bridge. She jumped right in with us, doing every activity, and had my daughter laughing nonstop on the big slide. Her energy and kindness made the day unforgettable. She even brought us to one of her Monk friends temple room, where we were welcomed to ask all the questions we wanted — such a special and personal touch. Huang gave us an equally meaningful experience, introducing us to his son’s favorite rose-filled cookies and steamed buns, which were delicious and such a thoughtful glimpse into daily life. He went above and beyond, following up throughout the trip to check how we were doing and making sure everything was smooth.

An incredible experience put together by Wild China. From arrival at the airport in Beijing to departure to Tokyo we had the most amazing guides (Wei Dong and Yenan and their drivers) who looked after us at every turn and created a perfect experience. Champagne lunch on the Great Wall, The Forbidden City and The Terracotta Warriors were something we would never forget. We cannot recommend Wild China highly enough

WildChina put together an incredible itinerary for me. All the guides were fantastic and experts in the local areas I traveled, and the transition days where I had to catch a train or flight were seamless and well organized. I always felt safe and secure in a country where the language and communication could have been a huge barrier for me.
