Dear Elaine,
We had a very enjoyable trip on the Snow Mountain. Many thanks for organising it so quickly.

Best wishes,

Pete

We had a great time not knowing what to expect in China we were thrilled with our decision to come and visit your beautiful country.The tour was very well organized and the hotels were top quality and all the staff very helpful, the food we had during the tour was excellent.The tour guide we had in Beijing was absolutely fantastic and was prepared to change the itinerary when and where we all agreed it was needed. She gave us tips on markets etc that we visited on her day off and wrote the address etc on a card to give to the taxi drivers.

The only thing that we were not happy with were the beds in the hotels they were very hard but you cannot do much about this and with the help of hotel staff and extra bedding we were fine.

We have been very satisfied and happy with this trip; the balance between the program and free time was excellent. Only the last day the program in Zhongdian was too short, but was complemented with the visit of the old town, which the guide kindly helped with.

Our three guides were nice, knowledgeable and very attentive to us and to our desires.

The accommodations were very good: cars in good shape, hotels well situated, close to points of interest, city center, lake?- We liked very much the san he hotel in Lijiang with its "spouse and concubines" atmosphere.

We had no bad surprise, even the flights were quite on time.

Our best moments:

The Li river cruise with its wonderful and relaxing scenery; the yack meadows visit and the contact with some Tibetan people. We had excellent time in Lijiang at night, with the many people singing and dancing for the festival, embedded in Naxi culture. We enjoyed the visit to one of the last Dongba center and our exposure to this ...more

Karen,
The trip is over and I want to thank you for your part in making our trip successful and delightful.We loved Guilin and Cliff (our Guide) and you were right, the night in Yangshou was a plus. Cliff was going to try to locate you by your Chinese name. He heard "Karen said" so many times that he wanted to meet you.

One suggestion, the third floor without a lift (Paradise Hotel) is not the best choice for over 70's people. Actually we would have been fine except I injured my foot in Guilin and was hobbling around.

The room was beautiful and we enjoyed the hotel.We also loved the night cruise in Guilin, your (and Cliff's) suggestions. On to Beijing - what an exciting city. Zoe was our Guide and an excellent one, as was Cliff. We did the city tour the first day as it was very windy and Zoe thought it was too windy for the Wall. It was so windy that day that we walked into the entrance of the Summer Palace grounds and went back to the car. The Beijing Prime Hotel was an excellent ...more

1. Overall, did you enjoy your trip? Why?
We LOVED everything about our trip...from China's culture and rich history, to the wonderful people we met along the way. I only wish we had more time to visit other parts of the country!

2. Your tour:
a. Were the arrangements satisfactory? We were very pleased with every aspect of our tour arrangements. The tour guides were fantastic...extremely knowledgable, friendly and helpful. The accommodations were also very nice, with the Crowne Plaza being our favorite. In all three locations, the hotel staff were superior-- the service was excellent. The individual tour worked out perfectly for us. It gave us enough flexibility to explore on our own and learn more about the country from wonderful one-on-one coversations with the guides. For someone that hates being shuffled around in a bus (like we do), but still wants the convenience of having all arrangements made...this is the way to go.
b.Was it what you expected, and if not, how did it differ ...more
