Anybody has experience with this tour company?
https://www.chinahighlights.com/ (and their Southeast Asia Website: https://www.asiahighlights.com/)

We plan a 3-weeks trip in March 2018 to Asia, our main destinations are China and Myanmar.

It is so hard to put it together. We have selected some tour companies and found this may a good choice, they provide really useful information and reply very soon.

But I still worry about send lots of money to a Chinese company. If you know something about it, please share with me. Thank you.

They are rather well-known. Tons of reviews on the net about them. Ask your friend Google.

As you do your research, note that you can visit China rather easily on your own, and there are many well known problems with tours in China. I can't speak specifically to the tours you mention, but in general, tours to China are a notoriously poor option --
... and not just because hotels are generally poorly located and substandard,
... and not just because the meals are generally substandard and unrepresentative of delicious local cuisines,
... and not just because you are likely to face lots of "shopping opportunities" that eat your time and offer only lousy options,
... but perhaps most importantly because censorship has meant that tour guides in China simply cannot provide you with full or accurate information about what you will see because they are not privy to information that you can get on your own through a few good guide books and a bit of advance research. Even the best guide has no access to key information about the history or cultural context surrounding some of the places you will visit! There are lots of threads here on Fodor's about these issues -- do take some time to peruse them before you commit.

But: You do not need to join a tour to visit China! I'm one of many people who have traveled there independently.

Hope that helps!

The above is true but for the cheaper tours.

Thanks! @CanadaChinaTraveller and @kja

For a specific country tour I suggest you contact a local company such as China Highlight (for China) and One Stop (for Myanmar).

If you wish to have your whole South East Asia & China journey organized by only one company, you could look at Asia Senses Travel, especially regarding overland tours and activities.

I would not use the same company for both countries. These countries are very different from each other, and the advantage of using a local agent (not a tour company) is that they can make arrangements for you directly (thereby saving the money that one agent charges you for using a laical agent) and they often have relationships with individual drivers, guides, hotels, etc.

There are many reputable agents in Myanmar.
