Honest feedback from guests who explored China with Portaltrip — from the Great Wall to Guilin, Zhangjiajie and beyond.

Travellers on the Great Wall

China for 2

We booked the China Discovery tour as a couple and it exceeded every expectation. Flights, hotels and guides were seamless — we just enjoyed the moment. Already recommending Portaltrip to friends.

Travellers at Xi'an

Warriors of China

The Terracotta Warriors were the highlight of our trip. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and the small group size made everything feel personal. Service was impeccable from booking to return home.

Travellers in Shanghai

Shanghai & Beyond

From the Bund at night to the Great Wall at sunrise — every day was a new adventure. Incredible value and the team were so helpful from start to finish. Hotels were better than we expected for the price.

Li River scenery in Guilin

Guilin Scenic Wonder

The Li River cruise was absolutely magical. Hotels were excellent and the itinerary struck the perfect balance between sightseeing and free time. Guilin and the karst landscapes took our breath away.

Michael T. Verified traveller · Guilin
Zhangjiajie mountain peaks

Avatar Mountains

Zhangjiajie looked exactly like the movies — even better in person. Transfers and tickets were organised flawlessly. The China Express itinerary packed in so much without feeling rushed.

Giant panda in Chengdu

First China Trip

As first-time visitors we were nervous, but everything was taken care of. The local guides made us feel welcome and the panda visit in Chengdu was a dream come true. Already planning our next trip.

West Lake in Hangzhou

Jiangnan Gardens

Hangzhou and Suzhou were peaceful and beautiful after the big cities. West Lake at sunset was unforgettable. Our consultant answered every question before we booked — that gave us real confidence.

The Bund in Shanghai

Yangtze & Capitals

Combining a Yangtze cruise with Beijing and Shanghai was the right call. Ships, guides and city hotels were well coordinated. Outstanding value for a trip we will talk about for years.

Great Wall of China

Bucket-list week

Fabulous trip to China. Well organised, fantastic tour guide, and Mutianyu on the Great Wall was the highlight. Flexible payment made it easy to book without stress.

Priya & Anil Verified traveller · Beijing
Chengdu city and temples

Food, culture, comfort

Sichuan food tours and temple visits were balanced perfectly with free evenings. Staff could not have been more helpful. Unbeatable experience for the money — five stars without hesitation.
