          Excellent tour operator, we were very satisfied with their services
          Our experience with Windhorse Tour was very satisfying. Victoria Zhu advised and assisted us in preparing the itinerary (Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Yangshuo and Shangai), in practical instructions before departure and throughout the trip. Hotels, travel by plane, train and car with driver, booking excursions and visits to museums and attractions: everything went very well thanks to the efficiency, professionalism and kindness of this tour operator and Victoria Zhu. We are already planning to return to China next year and will use Windhorse Tour again to organize it in the best way. We highly recommend Windhorse Tour.

          A special and memorable holiday
          I can only echo the other reviews in relation to Windhorse. As an experienced traveller in China I chose to book through a travel agent due to uncertainties travelling around Xinjiang. Our consultant was Savannah who prepared a 13 day itinerary for us and customised it to include drivers but not translators, due to me knowing a bit of Chinese. We travelled from Lanzhou to Tashkurgan, via Dunhuang, Turpan, Kashgar and other stops along the way. The trip was also tailored to our budget, and a very fair price was quoted, without negotiation. There were a couple of minor hick-ups which were dealt with professionally and promptly. Our drivers were extremely experienced and professional. We felt like VIPs from start to finish. Savannah did a fantastic job.

          Unforgettable & great experience in China
          We took part to a 15 days private tour in China, such an unforgettable experience! We really appreciated the promptness, kindness and the attention that our travel agent, Yuki, paid to our needs. Our guides were friendly and helpful and most of them spoke a very good English, making possible for us to enjoy the history of the country and the habits of the people. Drivers were gentle and professional. Hotels were beautiful, beyond our expectations. We also loved the three shows that we were suggested to enjoy. Me and my husband will keep in mind this vacation and we will consider this agency for planning future ones.

          Unforgettable 14-Day Tibetan Adventure: Lhasa, EBC, and Mount Kailash
          We recently completed a remarkable 14-day journey through Tibet, including Lhasa, the Everest Base Camp (EBC), and Mount Kailash, and we are delighted to share our experience. - Feedback on Yuki, our consultant: From the start of our journey, Yuki demonstrated exceptional professionalism and competence. Her responsiveness and precise information made our trip planning seamless. She went above and beyond by not only supporting us with the Tibet tour but also assisting us in booking trains and other attractions. Yuki was always available to address our queries and provided invaluable support throughout, including during the challenging moments . Her dedication and helpfulness greatly contributed to the success of our trip. - Organization of the Trip: The organization of our trip was outstanding. The pre-departure information was thorough and accurate, ensuring that we were well-prepared for the journey. The agency also assisted us efficiently with all the necessary documentation required for entry into Tibet, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to experience the best of Tibet’s unique landscapes and cultural treasures. - Guide Tashi: Our guide, Tashi, was exceptional. His professionalism, knowledge, and supportive nature stood out throughout the trip. He provided insightful commentary on the various monasteries and was always quick to assist us, especially during more challenging moments. Tashi’s presence made a significant difference in our experience, and we appreciated his facilitation and support. - Accommodation: Regarding the accommodations, while we recognize that we were in Tibet and that some of the standards differed from European norms, we were satisfied with the choices made by the agency. Importantly, we never had to stay in tents, which was a relief given the conditions. - Additional Visits: We also had the opportunity to visit the Great Wall of China and Qinghai Lake near Xining through the same agency. Both of these experiences were handled exceptionally well, and we were very pleased with the arrangements and the quality of service provided. - Travel Experience: Despite the long hours spent traveling in the van, the stunning landscapes made the journey enjoyable. The breathtaking views of the Tibetan plateau helped the time pass quickly and added a memorable dimension to our experience. The agency did an excellent job calculating the distances and travel times to ensure that the journey was not overly exhausting. The van itself was very comfortable and spacious, making the travel experience more pleasant - Recommendations: We highly recommend visiting the Everest Base Camp; it’s an awe-inspiring experience. As for the trek around Mount Kailash, we suggest undertaking it primarily if you are driven by a religious or spiritual belief. While the trek itself is beautiful, it did not deeply resonate with us personally. Additionally, be prepared for the long journey to and from the trek. Overall, our trip was a fantastic adventure, and we are grateful for the support and services provided.

          Very highly recommended
          This was a 9 day Western Sichuan trip which I did solo. Zoe was so helpful every step of the way. She even provided oxygen canisters because she was worried I might get altitude sickness. She picked great hotels for me. My guide Andy took care to ensure I had a great experience including carrying my backpack (plus his own) during hikes, ensuring I was well fed and hydrated, and identifying photo ops. Jia the driver managed to book me the best tickets in the house for last minute night activities. The Zhagana back mountain and Jiuzhaigou were particularly spectacular. I have used other top travel companies in China before but I would say Windhorse really delivers on high quality for very reasonable costs. Highly recommend.

          Great 15 day Tibet tour arranged by Windhorse tours team of Victoria, Lobsang and Emily
          We, a group of eight friends/family from US arranged a private tour of Tibet, including EBC and Kailash Parikrama. Victoria was the travel coordinator and she was simply awesome from start to finish. She was very responsive, provided accurate information, and was always available to help. She was often available late evening and weekends to cater to US time zone. Apart from Victoria, our Tibet Guide, Lobsang Nyima and our Beijing Guide Emily were also super awesome, very knowledgeable and very helpful . I would recommend windhorse tour team to anyone planning a trip in this part of the world.

          Wutaishan private tour
          We booked a private tour to Wutaishan with Yuki. She was well informed and kindly available to all our queries and questions that help tailoring our tour, and we had a lot :). We had very good recommendations and a reliable service, also very very good communication. Mr Hua - our driver went also beyond his duties to take care of us and ensure that we are safe and visiting all the places we wanted. Highly recommended!

          Excellent, prompt n professional service
          Yuki, my travel consultant, is exceptional. She is over n above in her duties to service my private tour from Chengdu to Chongqing where we took a river cruise to Yichang, the three gorges dam. This made our tour tour very pleasant n enjoyable. From Yichang, we were driven to Zhangjiajie where we spend three days n three nights on a private tour. Private tour is the way to go for us seniors as we might not have the stamina for long walks n the patience to line up for the long quece. The arrangements n services provided by Wind Horse travel was excellent. No shopping, no sales on the en route. Tour agents make sure everything is arranged n make u have properly check in ur flights. Tour guides were very good n responsible. Yuki even assisted me to checked how much is my baggage allowance despite I had not booked the tickets with her. Even though my bulk sale tickets said 20 kg per person, she managed to find out that we were allowed to have 23 kg each. This helped to reduce our anxiety n avoid throwing things away. I m so gladful to Yuki. My friends who had booked through said she is very professional.

          11 days in Yunnan!
          My friend and I did 11 days in Yunnan: Kunming, Lijiang, and Shangri-la. Windhorse Tour worked with us to craft an itinerary, they scheduled English speaking guides, drivers, lodging, domestic flights and bullet train. At the end, our flight in S-L was cancelled on the day before (we were to return to Chengdu and then fly home to US) and Windhorse worked out a solution within 2 hours. Each of the guides tailored their pace to fit ours (my friend is 82 and unable to walk fast nowadays). All in all, we felt cared about, had a great tour of these Yunnan highlights and would recommend Windhorse Tour to others.

          Extremely Well Priced, Well Organised and Flexible China Holiday Tours
          This was my 2nd tour planned by Windhorse Tours (the 1st was to Tibet pre-pandemic) and Yuki provided a fantastic itinerary full of adventure activities and some sightseeing. Yuki notified me regularly about changes to flights and hotels as the holiday approached - thank you very much. The hotels Yuki selected were close to transport, shops and restaurants (a necessity for me because I have a bad sense of direction - not ha, ha). I specifically asked to have a driver each day (who initially met me at a airport or train station holding a sign with my name) to take me to different activities and not a guide because I prefer to race around each location at my own speed and this worked perfectly for this tour - with a little help from Satellite Navigation to ensure I returned to the vehicle at the end of visiting each location. I also arranged to have a free day in each city. I appreciated the drivers that Windhorse Tours selected who used clean modern cars, provided drinking water and waited (patiently) until I was ready to leave each location. I occasionally got phone calls from Jeffrey from Windhorse Tours in different cities to provide additional advice/suggestions. Windhorse Tours provided a range of payment options (in different currencies) and immediately provided payment receipts. I would definitely recommend using Windhorse Tours to provide a tailored plan/costing for your next holiday to China/Tibet.

          China winter 2023 ❤️
          Best travel agency you can find!! I'm super satisfied with the service, with the hotels Yuki booked, the trains everything was perfect! From the beginning Yuki immediately understood my needs and adjusted to my budget. Yuki provided me with an invitation for the visa in no time, she planned my trip in less than a week & she did an amazing job. She always answered super quickly to my messages. I had to change my itinerary once in China cause I got sick and Yuki was not only understanding and flexible but she was also asking about how I was feeling!!! Yuki and her team payed attention to every detail during my trip, they always booked me the window seat in the train & provided me with all the information I needed. Yuki even delayed my check out at the hotel when I was sick before I ask her to do so. Very profesional and experienced team!! I really enjoyed my time in China and I will definitely travel again with Windhorse tour! Thank you Yuki for arranging such an amazing trip & for your patience !

          7 days tour from Lhasa to Gyirong port via EBC
          he service from Yuki from Windhorse Tours was perfect. She helped us prepare our Visa application, was always very clear in her communication about this the Tibet tour we booked and almost always responded immediately. Even in Chengdu, where we met here, she helped us with the practical matters so that we could take the train to Lhasa without any problems. We did the 7 day tour from Lhasa to Gyirong port via EBC. The guide (and driver) was very professional, flexible and taught us a lot about Buddhism and Tibetan culture. If you want to be sure that everything is well arranged, Windhorse is a very good choice.

          It was really right choice to visit China after my first meeting wirh this beautiful country in 1980th. That's almost impossible to make such a great economical development in just 43 years.I am really under the great impression.All our itinenery gave us the huge satisfaction to meet many historical places even the weather sometimes was not the best.Bejing,P[ng yao Xian gave us the look on the really great history of China and masterpieces of ancient architecture .Guilin, Li River cruse, Hangzou and Suzhou it was meeting with,unparalleled nature with fantastic gardens. And the most important, the people,,very friendly and helpfull on every step. Thank you Yuki very much for arranging such a beautufull trip for us. All of the best to you, Jacek

        I had a terrific experience with Windhorse from the moment I sent an enquiry email to the moment that the guide, Harry, returned me to my hotel. Yuki, who handled my query, was professional and helpful throughout and always responded promptly to my emails.

        Harry spoke excellent English, which made life easy. I'd previously spent four days on a Yangtse cruise with a series of allegedly English-speaking guides, all of whom were poor, so it was a joy to be able to have proper conversations with Harry. He was prompt, polite, friendly, helpful and considerate. He took me to all the places on the itinerary and some that weren't as we had time to spare.

        I had low expectations of the Jinding Villa hotel but it turned out to be very comfortable. I was given an upgraded room which had a terrific mountain view. The underfloor heating made the room nice and warm at night, and the staff kindly brought me an extra duvet when I said I might need it. The hotel is close to the summit, so we could walk there for sunrise, and close to cafes and restaurants for dinner if you don't want to eat in the hotel. Breakfast was fine next morning.

        Harry took me seamlessly from A to B to C, etc. by trains, buses, taxis and boat and was very well organised.

        I don't usually take organised tours, but I was delighted with this one and would happily contact Windhorse in future.
