University - Penn State, Dec 2015

Visit that included 18 teenagers from our US school, staff and parents

The WildChina Beijing team was above and beyond EXCELLENT. The knowledge level, responsiveness, resourcefulness , 6 star level customer service is unmatched. I've traveled to China multiple times before for business and never have we had such excellent guides. I would highly recommend WildChina for leisure, academic and business purposes. I would also recommend WildChina for corporate expats. I would like to highlight that Michael , Anna and Fann did an amazing job ! Thank you !!
