Hi I'm a New Yorker planning on taking tour to China this summer. I came across this site online but I am uncertain as to how legit the company is (after having heard so many stories on traps). Anyone on this site can share a tip or two? Thanks.

Hi Juliett

I can only speak for my dealings with the TCG editorial team but I have always found them to be professional, friendly and helpful. Certainly they are a legitimate company.

I would imagine their tours are conducted in the same spirit as the website, with above all, a passion for China.

Have a fabulous trip, whoever you go with :)

My unbiased opinion is that this company runs a very professional, thorough and comprehensive service. They have outstanding business acumen and I'd recommend them without reservation. As a foreigner living in China, I think this firm outshines many of the dodgier agencies I have come into contact with.

Juliett, I am an American who lives in California, and I have been a member here since last Summer; however, I have utilized the services and information provided herein, at TCG, for over four years now. This is without a doubt, a first-rate organization, and the most comprehensive site of its kind for anything regarding China; its people, history, culture, geography, regional cuisines, transportation, weather, you name it !!! I have traveled to China three times now in the past two years and I cannot wait to return again !! You can always rely on this site, and you will have a marvelous time in China !! I think that China is the most rewarding and best kept travel secret in the world today; moreover, it is so very affordable, as compared to many other Asian and/or European travel destinations. And while I am at it....China is so very safe for the tourist !!

Yes, this venue is very “legitimate” !!! I would say this is akin to asking if the American Automobile Association (AAA) and its regional affiliates, is a legitimate organization !! :) :)

That’s my opinion. Have a great trip !!

Roger, I am so glad to see your words. As a Chinese, I am very proud of my country, its long and mysterious history and culture. It takes one all his life long to explore them.

Have booked hotel accomodation via TCG - very happy with results.
Why is there this allegation of TCG's legitimacy, I wonder ?
