The Power of the American Passport

It was a strange situation: even though we couldn't obtain the QR codes required for entry—and despite the fact that no one at Viator seemed to consider that internet access is an issue in China—we simply walked up to the entrance, and upon seeing our American passports, they let us right in. I immediately realized that we had paid for tickets we didn't actually need. Once inside, we thoroughly enjoyed all the wonders found there.

Operator response

Excellent Booking Experience!

Travel China Guide was an excellent resource for our 8 day trip in China. In addition to attraction tickets, they helped us with reliable train tickets all throughout the country, using passports and our planned itinerary. Not having to worry about our intercity transit made our trip much more enjoyable, especially as travelers with no Chinese language skills and only technology for translation.

Operator response

Dear Chesapeake_yBlinders, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! We are absolutely delighted to hear that Travel China Guide was an excellent resource for your 8‑day trip across China. It was our pleasure to assist you with not only attraction tickets but also reliable train tickets nationwide, using your passports and planned itinerary. We fully understand how stressful intercity travel can be, especially when you don’t speak Chinese and rely only on translation tools — so we’re very happy we could take that worry off your hands and make your journey smoother and more enjoyable. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to have the opportunity to support you on your future adventures in China! Best regards,

Scam

I bought the ticket pack to the Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City, and a few days before the tour, they sent me a WhatsApp advising that they did not have to give me the tickets to the Forbidden City (I had to pay them again on the spot). I requested a partial refund (since we paid for both excursions) and was refused. Little seriousness and no responsibility. I don't recommend it.

It is a half day trip. Recommend to those who want to see Traditional chinese architecture and culture.

The Temple of Heaven in Beijing is a stunning blend of history, architecture, and culture. Built in the 15th century, it was where emperors prayed for good harvests. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is especially impressive with its blue roof and intricate wooden design. The surrounding park is peaceful and lively, filled with locals practicing Tai Chi or playing music — a perfect mix of tradition and everyday life

Closed

Although entrance was allowed all the temples were closed . Which made it an absolute waste or time .

Operator response

Dear Robert_W, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the disappointment you experienced during your visit to the Temple of Heaven. As our booking confirmation indicated, the tickets reserved cover entrance to the park only and do not include access to the indoor halls. These halls are generally available for separate purchase on-site. Unfortunately, your visit on Sep 03 coincided with a national ceremony, the indoor halls are closed by the site, which is really beyond our control. We truly appreciate your understanding during our follow-up communication. In light of the unexpected circumstances and to emphasize our commitment to customer satisfaction, we have processed a full refund for your order. We hope the rest of your travels across China brought you joy and memorable experiences. Should you have future travel plans, we would be grateful for the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable booking experience. Best regards,
