Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend China Travel Service (CTS) enough! Without their expertise and dedicated assistance, I would not have been able to obtain my visa to visit China. The service was absolutely amazing, and Vivien, who personally handled my case, went above and beyond. She ensured everything was processed smoothly and even managed to provide me with the visa a day earlier than expected—a huge relief! The professionalism, efficiency, and care I experienced were truly outstanding. If you need a visa or any travel-related assistance, CTS is the place to go. Thank you, Vivien and the team!

Fantastic experience: The China service (Sydney) was a one of the great travel company l have been joining . First the costumer service was very good. The company staff are very polite helpful and patient with friendly communication . The price comparison was really reasonable. They usually provide the direct flights to the city and provided 4/5 star hotel with including breakfast . Which is what I like the best part in my trip of their tour. I am to share my experiences and highly recommended this China service travel company to all others..

Fantastic experience: I was very satisfied with the services provided by the consultant who served me today at China Travel Services. She was very efficient in searching for the best connecting flights in Europe & organised my hotel accommodation & a 10days sightseeing tour at an affordable rate. She was exceptionally patient and helpful. Best regards from Pam.

Fantastic experience: I've been booking my ticket with Vivian at China travel since 2002, for the past 22 years Vivian' service has always been excellent,great communication, fast solutions. All you need to do is to just give her a destination,she will take you there effortlessly. I highly recommended Vivian Li for your next trip planning.

Fantastic experience: I have not yet travel on the tour I purchased through Lily, but can't wait to do this review. From the day of my first enquiry to the final week before the tour commenced, Lily has updated me every details the progress of the tour and setup a tour group chat for a few days before the tour commenced, this allows me to get to know my tour mates and tour organiser in China and weather updated from China. I am very confident the tour will be excellent. Thank you Lily for your service and Thank you CTS-Sydney. I will post another review once I returned home,

Fantastic experience: China Travel is my favourite travel agency. I use their services for more than 20 years. The staffs are friendly and helpful. It is an IATA agency. It can issue air tickets straight away, without redirecting to another ticketing agency. This is the main reason I selected their services.

Negative experience: Horrible experience with China Travel Service. Tickets/tour booked via China Travel Service and tickets issued. However NO ACCESS possible to online check in. Ridiculous. Contacted the office and they provided no assistance as they said they were too busy as well as the particular booking agent was away even though it was only 3pm well within office hours. Also, we are owed $400 credit which they deny. No action to rectify issues were undertaken. I do NOT recommend this travel agent. Very poor experience.

Fantastic experience: Vivian Li had helped my business book air travel and hotels for the past twenty years. She provides incredible customer service all the time. Any time that we encounter a problem with flight cancellation overseas, she has always helped us rearrange flights on her end timely and saved us a lot of time and worry.

Fantastic experience: 我和China Travel Service最早的接触还是在2008年,当时接待我的就是Vivian Li,她认真负责的工作态度,耐心的倾听,高效率的办事速度给我留下了美好的印象,后来每次回国都是找China Travel Service办签证,订机票,由于我住在离悉尼4个小时的偏远小镇,来回办签证几乎是不可能的事情,所以Vivian Li和她的同事们为我提供了最优质的服务,解除了我办签证难的后顾之忧!在此衷心地表示感谢!China Travel Service, you are the best!(同时,在这里非常感谢那天提前帮我拿护照的Ellen 女士,那天亲眼目睹了你们工作的不容易,人山人海的签证大厅,你们每天这样跑上跑下,辛苦了!)

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to CTS. I had a problem with my visa application. The lady who helped me was Lily Tse. I must say Lily went out of her to help me. She kept in constant contact me during her time resolving my issue. I strongly feel that I may have missed my flight if not for Lily's help. Thank you CTS and Lily Tse.......

Hi Ivan, can you provide more detail for us to address the issue and context?

Negative experience: I came to this office 15 days ago and they took $600 from me under the pretext of an urgent visa. A day later, this office official called me and told me to come and get your passport. We cannot get the visa? When I asked her to return the amount, she told me that the amount is not refundable?? I cut $300 out of the total amount of $600. Be careful with this office.

China Travel Service | China Visa Application

Hi, according to our conversation, your visa has not been rejected, and it will take two months to wait for approval. It is unreasonable for you to ask for a full refund because you don’t want to wait. We have refund all our service fee to you, but visa fee was already paid.

Sasha Ruby 1 year ago

Negative experience: Worst scamming travel agent out there! Stay away! They promised my dad would have an express visa and it will arrive within 5 days and took $600 and a $9 surcharge with no receipt given then to be told a day after that it would take 2 months and they can’t refund the full money. Also repulsive customer service.

China Travel Service | China Visa Application

Sorry, we cannot accurately predict the visa review time, nor will we make a commitment, and we have fully refunded to you.

Tye Prior 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had the most amazing experience with China Travel Service, all thanks to the exceptional assistance provided by Vivian. With an impending departure and no luck securing an appointment at the Sydney China visa centre, I was afraid I would have to cancel my trip. But Vivian came to the rescue and within just 3 days, she managed to secure an express tourist Visa for both myself and my partner. Her expertise and promptness in securing an appointment the next day were truly remarkable. Thanks to Vivian, our trip was saved, and we are forever grateful for her outstanding help and support.

Fantastic experience: My recent experience with CTS has been fantastic. If you value your time and want to expedite your visa appointment I would recommend using them. My partner and I applied online ourselves for a visa, and the only date we could get for a visa appointment was a bit over a week before we would travel. CTS managed to help us secure an earlier visa appointment date. My friendly agent Lily, was so proactive in arranging the appointment and details we overlooked as they came up. It was nice to have someone helping out with the visa application process, as it’s a bit unclear in parts. Overall a shout out to CTS they were great!
