Dear Elaine,

Just a few observations on our recent tour of China.

1. Most important: all the guides were very helpful and friendly. One of the things that we want to do when we travel is to meet people. All of the five guides we met are exceptional at their work and a real credit to your company and to China. Even in that rarified group, Lily Wong stands out for her warmth and vitality.

2. The choice of Simatai was brilliant. Of all the wonderful things we experienced in China, I think it is the most memorable.

3. The food was excellent.

4. The one surprise was the fog that seemed to pervade the country, except for Lijiang. I think you will have to deal with it directly, because it is unlike anything I have experienced elsewhere. It is unwise to let it come as a surprise, but it can be dealt with in a way that leaves the traveler informed without discouraging him. Your climate is unique, in my experience, because the soil is so saturated with water -- something ...more

The best thing about my trip was your (Elaine's)great assistance to get the tour set up. You made the process very easy. The 2nd best thing was the tour guide, Jay. Her English was good, her knowledge was good, and she had a pleasant demeanor. Beyond that, the right mix of sights were chosen for my particular tour. I am happy with the selection.

The best thing of my tour: Undoubtedly your arrangement to meet us at airports, train stations whenever we arrived and to see us off for the next destination . This spelt a lot of security particularly as English is very sparsely spoken or used in China. Food was also very well chosen in almost all places, we enjoyed our meals thoroughly especially the one with Angela at Guilin. We also loved the company of the guide that we had at Chongquing. She was definitely the best amongst all the persons we interacted with.

Our trip to China was a last minute affair in the spring of 2006. We found China Highlights on Internet, and as soon as we received a rapid and detailed response from Ryan Chen, we knew we were dealing with a professional travel agency based in Guilin, China. As soon as we arrived in the first city where we had their local guide and driver, we knew that we were right! We had only the guides, drivers, cars, meals and entrance fees to museum, shows, etc, with China Highlights. We highly recommend not only these services, but travelers should book the entire trip with China Highlights, that is all domestic flights, river excursions such as Yangtze, hotels, meals, as well as the local guides and transportation. We are a couple, but this agency will do wonders for couples, small groups of friends or larger groups as well. They can customize anything. Not only that, once you are in China, their guides and drivers are always ready and capable to improvise and add visits and excursions, modify what has been agreed ...more

Dear Cheryl:



We have completed our family trip to China and I will provide you some feedback.



Overall we loved visiting China and we found the service and organization of your company was very good. The pre planning was done well and you were very patient in giving me many options for our itinerary. One thing I would recommend be changed is that when a change to the itinerary (mainly flight changes), occurs, your inform the client immediately. In all cases our flight times were different than the original itinerary and we did not find out until we arrived in the city we were to leave from.



The accommodations were very good in Xian (Bell Tower Hotel) and Guilin (Bravo Hotel). The hotel in Lhasa (king Sun) was not as nice. The rooms were OK, but the toilets did not work well and the hallway smelt like a sewer.



The sites in China are very well presented and very organized for English speaking people. Xian was very interesting and ...more
