The preparation of Chinese visa documents is a headache, and the checklist provided by the butler is not only clear, but also marked with details that are prone to errors. I just need to send them the completed application form for review. Guide me step by step to complete it. Booking train tickets is even more hassle free – after comparing the advantages and disadvantages of different train services, they sent the official ticket purchase link with detailed explanations for everything. Their abilities are too professional!
Christian
My wife and I came to China for our honeymoon, and the butler quietly created countless surprises for us! In the hotel room in Guilin, they arranged rose petals and handwritten blessing cards in advance; The tour guide in Zhangjiajie actually carried a professional camera and took the initiative to capture many photos of natural scenery for us. The most unforgettable experience was in Suzhou, where the butler arranged for us to visit Humble Administrator’s Garden at night through local connections. At that moment, there were only the two of us in the garden, and we listened to a clear Kunqu opera under the moonlight. These exclusive experiences have long exceeded the scope of ordinary tourism services.
Mason
I specially chose to visit China during the Mid-Autumn Festival to experience Chinese culture. The butler not only recommends the best place to admire the moon, but also prepares “Mid Autumn Festival gifts”. Introduce us to various mooncake flavors, lantern riddles, and moon worship customs. When wanting to give festive gifts to local friends, the butler suggested a unique and budget friendly option. I truly immersed myself in it.
Kevin
Booking flights and hotels is all based on personal preferences, but every time there is a small problem, sending a message can immediately solve it. The money is paid for by oneself, and the choice is made by oneself. The anxiety of traveling has completely disappeared. Perfect.
Tyler
As a solo female traveler, this service was my safety net. I could wander freely but never felt alone.
Jayden
I was worried before that using butler service would feel like being monitored. The result is completely opposite! They are like a universal friend in my phone. If I got lost, I asked and quickly provided me with the correct route. I also included a message saying, “The ice cream shop on the right side of the traffic light at the intersection is good, you can try it. Do you want to eat or not? I will make my own decision. we wanted to temporarily change to a less popular ancient town, so they immediately handed over the transportation plan and driver’s phone number, and added, “This driver’s English is not very good, I’ve already explained it to him, just get on the car and nod. Completely free, with a strong sense of security.
Lauren
As a first-time American tourist to China, language and payment were originally my biggest concerns. But with this one-stop butler, all difficulties are easily solved! They not only provided me with travel cards in both Chinese and English, but also helped me link them to mobile payments, so I can even scan the QR code to buy street snacks. What was even more surprising was that the butler recommended several niche museums based on my interests and even booked a free tour. One day when I caught a cold, they actually delivered medicine and honey water to me within 30 minutes. This meticulous care fills me with a sense of security as I travel alone!
Samuel
I have a limited budget but I want to explore China in depth. This fixed fee butler service is my best choice. The butler fully understands my budget constraints, and the recommended hotels, carpooling plans, and free attractions are all just right. She taught me how to use local discount apps in China and find the most cost-effective transportation options. In Chengdu, the community hotpot restaurants she recommended cost only 50 yuan per person but have authentic taste. Although I paid for all the expenses myself, the butler’s local knowledge and resources allowed me to get the most authentic experience with the least amount of money.
Sofia
Due to work requirements, I had to travel to China temporarily without any preparation time. Within 48 hours, the butler planned the most efficient transportation plan for me, booked all hotels (with me paying the agreed price directly), and recommended dining options based on the meeting location. Transferring in Shanghai takes only 4 hours. This ability to respond to urgent needs, as well as clear cost separation (I only pay a fixed service fee, and the consumption items are self paid), makes me feel at ease.
Benjamin
I hate the complicated booking process and bundled sales, this service perfectly meets my needs. Pay a clear consultant fee, receive complete itinerary and resource services, and then take control of all transactions on your own.
Mia
This service has found a perfect balance between not wanting to be bound by group tours and being afraid of the hassle of independent travel. The butler solves all technical difficulties (payment, communication, navigation) in advance, provides real-time support during the journey, but never interferes with our itinerary choices. We wanted to change the route temporarily in Zhangjiajie, and they quickly adjusted the transportation connection plan; They immediately contacted the inn to negotiate the price for extending their stay in the ancient city of Phoenix if they wanted to stay for an extra night. This’ support without intervention ‘model allows us to enjoy the true pleasure of independent travel.
Jonathan
My biggest concern before choosing this service was hiding my expenses. But the terms here are very clear, we will pay for major items such as airfare and hotels ourselves. This actually makes me feel more at ease! Throughout the entire process, the butler was like my ‘remote advisor’. She screened three hotels of different price ranges for me and obtained negotiated prices, and finally I placed the order on the official website myself. When booking a private car, she directly pushed the driver’s WeChat to me, and I settled the fare in person without any intermediate markup. This pure consultant model is both professional and trustworthy.
Dean
As soon as I landed in Beijing, I contacted my online concierge via my phone. She immediately arranged a car for me, and I got to my hotel without any hassle. The hotel was incredibly comfortable and luxurious, yet surprisingly affordable.
Eric
I am someone who never makes plans. But in China, some things do need to be arranged in advance. The butler has arranged everything for me, and I just need to pay for it. I would like to hire a tour guide at the last minute, and within two hours, the butler has arranged for a young man who is fluent in English and familiar with photography. We will discuss the cost face-to-face. I always feel like everything is under control.
Brian
The trip I want is full of randomness. The butler understands this. Their value lies not in limiting me, but in being able to quickly implement ideas when I have a whim. This is the true journey

At first, I was skeptical about “Online Travel Butler”, but after experiencing it, I completely changed my mind! This trip to China spans a wide range, from Beijing to Chengdu and then to Hangzhou, each city’s culture and climate are different. The butler helped me plan my itinerary two weeks in advance, even arranging high-speed rail tickets and scenic spot reservations properly. My biggest headache is the transportation connection. They even sent me the subway transfer routes for each city, and even marked which stations have elevators (I carried a large suitcase). I suddenly wanted to eat hotpot at night, and the butler recommended a restaurant that locals often go to and helped me rank it online. This kind of thoughtful service really makes me feel that traveling can be so easy!
Chloe
From how to purchase subway tickets to calling for ride hailing services, the butler provides detailed guidance on every aspect. It’s really convenient to have this service, which allows me to freely explore China
Jose
Finally, a service that gets it! I hate rigid tours. This was MY trip, just smoother.
Victoria
My family and I brought two children on a trip to China, never expecting it to be so worry-free. The housekeeper tailored a family-friendly itinerary for us, with relaxed schedules between attractions to avoid rushing. They also arranged kid-friendly meals, a hotel with flexible check-out times, and recommended foot massage shops suitable for the elderly. This wasn’t just travel planning—it felt more like having family by our side.
Kimberly
I don’t want to go to crowded attractions, so the butler recommended a lesser known place based on my interests: Jingdezhen. Each location comes with detailed arrival instructions and background information. The guides they contacted were able to tell the story of their family migration, rather than providing repetitive explanations. This deeply customized experience allowed me to see China beyond just a travel brochure.
Nicole
I heard that China has entered a cashless society, and I’m worried that my credit card won’t work. The housekeeper guided me to bind Alipay in advance, and also carefully tested a small transfer. I met an elderly person who only accepts cash at the alley market. After consulting the butler, I learned that nearby supermarkets can exchange it for change. Their comprehensive understanding of the payment system has prevented us from worrying about money at all.
Zoe
We need a healing journey. The butler avoided all popular attractions and recommended Zen style homestays at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and rural writing in Dali. They will respect your spiritual needs and provide precise resources. Thank you very much to them.
Grace
I initially had no idea what “online service” really meant or what they could actually do for me—I only left this review after I got back. The $300 was totally worth it. Long before my trip, they spent a lot of time talking with me and helped me put together a complete travel checklist. I asked tons of questions because, as you know, China is huge, and I was unsure about the temperature differences between the cities I was visiting. Checking the weather for each city individually is such a hassle. Also, I’m really particular about hotel environments—if it’s noisy, I’ll go crazy. They not only booked my hotels but specifically coordinated for rooms farther from the main street, so it was super quiet. Stuff like that. You really don’t have to worry; the online concierge is like your personal secretary. You can contact them anytime for help. I’m so grateful. Oh, and they even helped me order takeout—it arrived in just over ten minutes! That was amazing. You know, in Europe, restaurants can be closed for all sorts of reasons, and many places are completely shut by 7 PM. This whole experience truly blew my mind
Michelle
I don’t like traveling with a lot of people. The butler informs me in advance of the peak flow time. The opening hours and routes recommended by them avoid the maximum passenger flow, and the restaurants booked are located in popular areas but in secluded locations. All tickets have been pre booked to avoid long queues on site. Let’s have a better journey this time
Alexis
I want to find an authentic restaurant myself and I’m afraid of stepping on landmines. The butler recommends 2-3 restaurants that locals often go to every day based on our location and taste, as well as pictures of signature dishes. He also helped us book a location by phone. This responsive food consultant makes every meal an expectation. Let me enjoy food better in China.
Elijah
This service is great. The butler helped me with all the communication and troublesome matters in front of me, and I just went to enjoy the results. They not only booked the front row tickets, but also told me the details of “just say the last digit of your phone at window two” when picking up the tickets, avoiding talking too much to the staff. If I want to buy tea, the butler can directly recommend the reference prices and features of three old brand stores to me. I can go to any store and buy as much as I want. It makes me very reassured.
Katherine
I used to have reservations about ‘high-end customized services’, but this time I was really conquered by details! The butler sent a “travel guide” before the trip, which included a portable power bank, a Chinese SIM card, and even a stack of handwritten Chinese help cards. When visiting the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xi’an, the tour guide was an interpreter with a professional background in archaeology. The depth of experience was completely different! They arrived at the hotel late at night and found that they had forgotten to bring the conversion plug. They quickly delivered it to their room within 20 minutes. This response speed and resource integration ability are definitely worth it.
Jason
As a second time traveler to China, I not only want to break free from the constraints of fixed routes, but also hope to avoid being flustered during my first visit to China. This service perfectly balances my needs, allowing me to freely choose my destination while also having someone to help me make reservations. It’s very free and relaxing
Alexander
My plan for hiking in China was planned by the butler, who provided me with daily stops and booked family inns in the towns along the way. I settle my accommodation and meals by myself every day, while she remotely monitors my progress and gives me advance notifications in case of weather changes. This’ invisibility ‘makes hiking alone feel secure.
Rebecca
First time in China, I was pretty nervous about the whole unfamiliar scene. But my travel butler put me at ease way before I even left home — with clear visa instructions, a step-by-step app setup guide, even how to connect to the airport Wi-Fi. After landing, every step was guided. That kind of all-around support turned my first China trip into something actually warm and stress-free.
