This morning, our guide will pick up guests from hotel on time of departure, and then transfer to Xitang Water Town.

First visit Yanyu Corridor and Yongning Bridge. Yanyu Corridor has a total length of nearly a kilometer and is mostly built near the river. Here you can find various shops along the street. Sometimes swaying boats carry tourists passing. Yongning Bridge is the best viewing point in Xitang Town. It is the best place for photography enthusiasts and painters to create.

Then move on to the Wood Carving Museum, which is an art museum with a private collection. The museum has collected more than a hundred root carvings of Zhang Zheng (a famous root carving artist).

After lunch, visit Ni House, Shipi Lane and Tile Museum.
Ni House is the ancestral home of the former deputy mayor of Shanghai, Ni Tianzeng. It is located in the south of Hong Kong and was built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. The overall building is simple and implicit. It is a typical representative of Confucianism.
Shipi Lane, built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, is the narrowest lane in Xitang. The narrowest point is only 0.8 meters and the total length is 68 meters. The ground is paved with 168 slate.
Tiles are a simple building decoration accessory. Because it is not easy to preserve, it has a long history and has certain historical value. Tiles Exhibition Hall has more than 300 varieties of six categories: lace, dripping chopsticks, step chickens, brick carvings, ancient bricks, and pottery figurines.

Next stop is Button Museum, which has the title of "Home of Buttons". There is a detailed introduction to the origin and development of buttons. It shows the evolution of buttons from ancient times to the present, from simple to complex, and from rough to fine. Here are the biggest buttons in the Guinness Book of Records.

After one day tour, transfer you back to your hotel in Shanghai.

I wanted to visit Beijing, China along with my wife. After long search I found a Travel Agency called Tour Travel China. They are in real good Travel Agent who helps lot to make your journey a memorable Trip in your life. They have good Tour guide who have deep knowledge of the place and explain well. They provide you a memorable Chinese traditional Lunch along with Tour. In my case I drop down my camera in the counter of China Air. I remember after I crossed Security checked I asked Airline persons but they never paid me any attention, but they helped me to find and return my camera within few days. I haven’t travelled with any other Travel Agency who goes beyond to help. If I got time to visit again I definitely will go with them and I will send my family and friends through their Travel Agency. More

The two day tour was all i needed. And they made it perfect. From the Badaling Great Wall, Changling Ming Tombs, Jade Factory and Tea Ceremony place to Forbidden City, and Summer Palace and Pearl Factory, it was wonderful. More

I booked this tour last minute and did not regret it! The cost was minimal compared to the fun I had! First we toured the Forbidden City and our guide, Leo, was wonderful! He shared great knowledge and gave us time to explore on our own. Next we went to the Jade factory and was given a short tour followed by lunch there. The dining experience was wonderful and delicious. We then headed to the Great Wall and it was amazing! Although our time there was limited to two hours, it was just almost perfect. We ended the day with a tea sampling and shopping. I couldnt have asked for a more perfect first tour of China. More

On our recent trip we visited :
1) Badaling Great Wall and the Ming Tombs with Linda
2) Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace with Jackson
3) Zhujiajao Water Town with Jason
We were well looked after and driven everywhere as part of a small bus group and met some lovely people. The local Chinese lunches were particularly nice. More

We had a 2-day tour with Tour Travel China.
The first day includes Badaling Great Wall and Changling Ming Tombs with visits to the Jade Factory and Tea Ceremony place.
The second day includes Tian An Men + Forbidden City, Tian Tan, and Summer Palace with visits to the Pearl Factory and Bao Shu Tang where we got a nice foot massage for only 20 Kuai. 
The itinerary and tour service, especially the first day with David were absolutely amazing! He is a great tour guide, with excellent command in English as well as a nice personality.
The second day with Paul was a little bit too fast for our liking. He spoke too fast and a little bit unclear, and seem like almost too in rush for anything so I think that could be improved in the future. The meal in our second day was amazing though! Delicious!
Thank you to you and all TTC team for helping our trip in Beijing much easier! More

Enjoyed a hiking day trip with Tour Travel China to the Great Wall at Jinshangling. This is a further away section but much quieter and definitely worth the extra travel. I visited Mitanyu previously which was very busy.
Two hikes were available 7km and 13km. I took the 7km which was still quite challenging. Spent 2.5 hours on the wall. It’s an amazing experience.
After hiking we had a late lunch at a local restaurant and then headed back to Beijing.
There is no shopping, although there are a few hawkers on the wall.
Make sure you take lots of water and sunscreen with you as it can get quite hot in Summer.
The tour guide and driver were excellent and can recommend this trip.
The travel time is quite long so bring a tablet and headphones to keep you entertained More

We had a great 3-day tour. Most of it was a walking tour that required stamina. The cost was a good deal that included 3 lunch meals.
The tour guides Yoyo, Irish and Vik were very knowledgable about their history. Their English was good, but at times could not understand their accent. 
The Lunch for the 3 days were good but on the 2nd and 3rd day, we were brought to the same restaurant. The service in the Great wall restaurant was good. Food was prepared on the table when we arrived. Unlike in the 2nd restaurant, food was served one at a time, hence time-consuming.
The mandatory stops, total of 5 in 3days: Jade factory, Tea factory, Pearl factory, Silk factory, Foot massage were informative but the time spent there could have been added for picture-taking in the tourist places.
The 24-hour hotline was veey helpful for queries.
Overall, Tour travel China met our travel expectations. More
