My wife and I recently joined Peony's 12-day 'Best of Eastern Europe' tour, and we were absolutely satisfied with the entire experience. The itinerary was superb, and the sightseeing was incredible. We were very happy with the accommodations; most, if not all, of the hotels were 5-star quality. The meals were mostly authentic, delicious local cuisine. Most importantly, our tour guide, Ocean Hu, was exceptionally professional. His explanations were insightful, systematic, and easy to understand. Thanks to him, we enjoyed a well-organized, safe, and truly relaxed trip. Thank you, Ocean and Peony. We will definitely book with you again for our future travels.

This is our second year with Peony. Overall, we had a wonderful trip, except the hotel in Croatia to find stink bug on the wall as well as the quality of the hotel we stayed for two nights in Prague was quite below expectation.

Our tour guide, Mr. Wei Chen has great experience and good sense of humor which made the entire trip worthwhile.

Having that said, I would hope Peony considers making both WeChat and LINE available with your tour guides, so for guests who only have either of apps on their phone can freely get daily information from the tour guide on the road.

As an English speaker in China, the tour guide went out of their way to make the tour enjoyable, mixing a little English with Mandarin to make everyone feel like part of the tour. The only downside of the tour is I would have liked a bit more personal time, but the Tour Guide kept a tight schedule on time.

Our recent Europe trip was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our incredible tour guide, Jeffrey. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, informed, and having a great time. His knowledge of history, culture, and local gems was impressive, he shared fascinating stories that brought each city to life, from the charming streets of Paris to the breathtaking scenery in Switzerland.
Jeffrey’s organization and attention to detail were remarkable. Everything ran smoothly, yet he still made the trip feel relaxed and flexible. He always checked in on each traveler, made sure no one was left behind, and somehow remembered everyone’s preferences, whether it was a favorite snack, a photo stop, or a special request.
What truly set Jeffrey apart was his warmth and enthusiasm. He has such a positive energy that made the group feel like family. His humor and kindness made long travel days enjoyable, and his passion for what he does truly shines through.
This trip exceeded all expectations, and Jeffrey played a huge role in making it such a memorable experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a European adventure, you couldn’t ask for a better guide!

it was a very happy trip. The weather was incredible gorgeous for the trip to Switzerland! The travel group people were nice, and James did a great job!

Very nice and very professional

1st trip to Eastern Europe, 2nd trip to Turkey October 2025. We had great time at both trips. Both trips we had great Peony tour guides amazed by their professionalism and knowledges of the visiting sites. On top of that they are humorous. Accommodations were good.

My husband and I joined Peony Tours on a Turkey tour from October 7th to 18th. This was our fourth time traveling with a Peony Tours group, and we chose Peony Tours again because of the wonderful experiences we had on our first three trips.

This trip to Turkey was truly enjoyable, with excellent food and accommodations, and each site held deep historical and archaeological significance. For us Christians, the most attractive was visiting four locations of the seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation: Ephesus, Smyrna(Izmir), Pergamum, and Laodicea(Denizli/Pamukkale), as well as Iconium(Konya), where Paul preached. We also visited the Virgin Mary's final resting place in Ephesus.

But the greatest highlight was our tour leader, Davis (聂玉艇). He spoke fluent Chinese and English, was knowledgeable, and took excellent care of us. He possessed a deep cultural background, was friendly, and had a good sense of humor. He told jokes and sang songs on the bus, which helped ease our tiredness . He even arranged a Chinese meal to ensure we didn't get too tired of Turkish food. Knowing that some of us wanted to take photos of the ruins of the Church of Pergamum, he even instructed the driver to stop for us so we could get out and take photos. He walked an extra mile for us.
This was a truly unforgettable and enjoyable trip to Turkey, and we will highly recommend it to our friends.

I had an amazing time in Kenya, especially the incredible Safari trip I had arranged by Peony Tours. My Safari driver and guide Peter from Liberty was awesome and very welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. I not only was able to successfully see all Big Five (lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and African buffalos), I also had close-encounters with the giraffes, cheetah, wildebeests, hippos, gazelles, and many more other African animals and birds. The hotel and Game lodge accommodations where I stayed were also clean and comfortable with top-notch services and amenities.

I would highly recommend to friends and family this once a lifetime wonderful safari travel with Peony.

Asante Sana! (Thank you very much in Swahili)

This trip is one of the best I've had with Peony/RITZ. Really wanted to leave review on how much this is why they are my always go to on tours. Many recommend other companies like Sinet or Globus staining they are high quality, but I give total kudos to Peony. It is professionalism at its best.

This was a very informative and well planned and guided tour. Everyone of course will have different options and reviews of locations but Shanghai, Jacky explained and showed us things out of the routine. Wuzhen was absolutely gorgeous town. Would like to gor back again, Zhangjiajie was also beautiful although weather was kind of nasty. Changsha was eh.. But definitely great that got to go once. So was absolutely great itinerary and the things we got to do and see were outstanding.

Best part was the people we met and Jack's absolute professionalism at its best! At end of the trip this ended up so much better than I expected and hoped. Was a great group of people, wished the trip was a week longer. As for JACKY? Hard to describe his professionalism... He tried to take care of every indivi/family as best as he could. I felt he went out of his way, exactly the kind of person I would like handling my company. Very meticulous and precise. His wechat updates and daily schedule plus weather and procedures for airports were spot on and so helpful. Peony itself provides absolutely the best. From all the hotels and restaurants they provided, no complaints. Not every town will habe four seasons or RITZ but would say probably best of each location.

Long review but want to say thank you too Peony and Jacky. Have so many more planned with them and hope to have Jacky on all my China tours. Great great experience!!

It was an unforgettable experience in England.
The weather was so nice and beyond our imagination (it was England’s raining season in October , but we didn’t even have one raining day in two weeks), the places we visited were beautiful , and what made the trip so impressive was our tour guide Eddie Chen. He was very knowledgeable, very experienced, very enthusiastic, and most importantly, he really took good care of our needs. And he always made sure we arrived the places with good timing, so we got to see the beautiful sunset at Carlton Hill in Scotland.
I definitely would like to join his tour in the future.

The tour arrangements were accommodating although the schedules was a little tight. The meals provided were adequate but hopefully it’ll improve with more of local flavors. The tour guide- Wen is very knowledgeable and friendly, he made sure to take care of each tourists needs at his best ability, and we all like him a lot.

12 days of 10/16 east Europe tour:
Me and my sister joined the 12 days east Europe tour with tour guide, Wei chen, who is really professional and organized for the whole trip. We just felt we were in the good and safe hands!

Our Greece trip was absolutely wonderful! The tour guide and bus driver were both incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and courteous throughout the journey. Their expertise and hospitality made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Peony Tours Guides
My wife and I have joined several Peony Tours, and every tour guide has impressed us with their professionalism and attentive care: Spain (Carol Hsu), Turkey (James Wang), Huangshan (Gong Jie), Turkey (Sam Lin), and Northern Xinjiang (Jean Yang).

A special thanks goes to Sam — through his introduction, I discovered a new hobby that keeps both my hands and mind engaged: flying a DJI drone.

As for Ms. Jean Yang, she was always mindful that we senior travelers might find the local mutton dishes too rich. Whenever she saw fresh local vegetables, she would take the initiative to order extra dishes for us. I can still recall the crisp, refreshing taste of the freshly stir-fried xuelihong (pickled mustard greens) by the stunning Sayram Lake.

I still don’t know how she managed it, but she somehow secured complimentary upgrades to executive suites for us in both Urumqi and Beijing! She’s also stubborn — despite our repeated insistence that she didn’t need to wake up early to see us off at 4:45 am, she refused to listen and got up anyway to come downstairs and say goodbye. Haha — we left early before she could catch us.

We also owe thanks to our local guide, Black Qin, who thoughtfully prepared a variety of Xinjiang fruits for us — the green apples were everyone’s favorite. Since long bus rides are unavoidable in Northern Xinjiang, Jean provided snacks for everyone, while Black Qin brought along rose niang (玫瑰饟, a local sweet). Eating and chatting along the way made the long rides feel much shorter.
