We are a group of 3 female travelers who travelled to Inner Mongolia early September. We were very glad to have engaged China Discovery, who custom-arranged this private tour so that we can visit the place that we wanted to go.

Ms Rita is one of the best travel consultant. She has been very helpful and provided prompt responses to all our queries. We greatly appreciate her flexibility and readiness to adapt as our plans changed in the midst of discussion. Our accommodations were comfortable and satisfactory.

Our tour guide (石头) and driver (石师傅) were amazing. They took great care of us by ensuring our journey was smooth and comfortable. They would recommend us some food choices/restaurants that we should try for aunthetic Mongolian food. They also shared with us their personal experiences which gave us a glimpse of the local culture.

We highly recommend China Discovery to travellers who might be considering a trip to mainland China and be sure to visit Inner Mongolia too! Thank you Ms Rita, 石头 and driver, 石师傅 We had a wonderful trip to Inner Mongolia this autumn 2023.

We spent 6 days in Inner Mongolia following a custom itinary put together with the great support of Vivien, we don't often hire tour guides, but decided to this time because we had heard Inner Mongolia is difficult to see without a car. We were also worried about complications due to the pandemic.

We are really glad we did take the tour, as we had many problems with or health codes and finding places that would aacept our passports / payment methods to do covid tests. It was complictaed, but Mary and Lisa the guides. As well as Xiaowang the driver and Vivien the tour operator went above and beyond to make sure we got our health codes, Police registrations and covid checks with as little hassel as possible. We could not have done this trip without them.

Vivien organised a great itinary and gave great advise on how possible it was to visit other attractioons in the area we were interested in. We feel like we saw so many different scenaries - desserts, grasslands, forrests, volcanoes all in one trip!

Mary and Lisa helped us take some great photos and videos, and had lots of good local knowledge about places to visit and eat.

The transport provided was all very comfortable, the drivers and guides were all very efficient and reliable and made us feel welcome and safe. They thought of lots of great extra touches, like providing a useful travel pouch and lots of water.

Did a quick trip in July to Hohhot, Inner Mongolia and Huitengxile grassland. Had a great time. My travel consultant Rita and the tour guide were very professional. This is the third time I’ve traveled using China Discovery. Each time was wonderful. Definitely recommend them.

We spent 9 amazing days with China Discovery going through Qinghai, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia provinces. It was an unforgettable trip. Our guides were knowledgable and helpful, our drivers were kind and also helpful with our bags. The hotels we stayed in were so nice and the food we ate was always delicious! We had to get covid tests almost every day, and the company arranged it for us so that it was convenient as possible. I would 100% recommend China Discovery for whatever travel needs you might have :)

Amazing 10-days trip in end of August organized by Jack in only one day (guides, drivers, hotels & travel permit for restricted area).

My boyfriend and I travelled accompanied with Peima in Qinghai province and Gary in Gansu and Inner Mongolia. Both of them spoke good English, very friendly and caring.

We appreciated their professionalism, insights as locals and personal stories. When the weather wasn’t the best we trusted their planning changes and it was totally worth it.

Our guides also recommended food destinations and lively areas to visit during our free time. We had to take a COVID test in Zhangye, the hospital didn’t have foreigners before but our guide eased the process and made it efficient.

All drivers were very competent, especially the 4x4 sand expert in Badan Jilin desert. We always felt safe.

Mind-blowing landscapes, all destinations were exceptional. All parks are a must see in one’s life, chinese or foreign, we definitely recommend you to explore this part of the Silk Road. Our favorite was Badan Jilin desert but all were amazing.

We were lucky and could avoid the crowds as most recent group trips were cancelled due to recent COVID cases.

Most parks are very protected and allow visitors only in designated locations. One of them also has a limited time per seeing-spot (Yardan geopark in western Gansu). A bit frustrating not to be more free but once witnessing the beauty of the landscape, one can understand the need of protection/restrictions. Every places is still very worth it and the views are unforgettable.

We will definitely contact China Discovery if need of trip planning and have already recommended to our friends since we were so happy!

We visitied during 3 days the Huitengxile Grassland, the Resonant Sand Bay and the Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Ordos. Everything was well organized by Rita Jiang (guide, driver, tickets). Inner Mongolia is definitely worth a visit. The only adjustment we would recommend is to avoid the camp visit in the Grassland off season as there are no activities offered (except riding, to be paid separately). Better just to take a hide in the Grassland. Additional activities in the Sand Bay has been offered as compensation. The whole logistic was smoothly and the guide was both competent and flexible.

Riley Guo at China Discovery was amazing. I simply gave her a price and a list of activities we wanted to do in Inner Mongolia and she arranged everything including hotels, private drivers and guides, tickets, meals, and helped with all the admin required to travel in China (esp. with covid). The trip went very smoothly and everything was first class. I even lost my passport at one point and Riley and the tour guide arranged to get it back to me. I will definitely contact Riley for any future trips in China.
