Testimonials November 2007

Dear Karen,

We are back in the US after a wonderful trip in your country. Thank you again for all the work you put into making it happen and go so very well. All the arrangements went off flawlessly and we had a wonderful time. All the guides which were provided were knowledgeable and very helpful. The guide in Chongqing managed to get us to the boat in fine time and tried to provide some information about the city as well. There are so many things we would like to come back and see more thoroughly. If and when we do that we will certainly contact you. I would be very pleased to do that. Again, thank you for all your help and for enabling us to have such a wonderful trip. We will be very interested to watch China as it continues to grow, using what we have learned during our trip as background and better understanding.

Best regards,

Catherine M. Banbury

Dear Jean,

We found sailing down the Yangtse was very relaxing and interesting - especially the shore excursions - they were great. I had previously visited the Great Wall, but it is certainly a memorable site. While it was not part of your tour the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace in Beijing are impressive.

In China, Kiven, John and Kitty were all very good. John had a greater understanding of the subtleties of the English language, but all were helpful, thoughtful and attentive. Kiven took us to Jade and Cloisonné factories in Beijing as well as to tea tasting. John arranged for us to visit the Stillwell Museum in Chongqing, and Kitty arranged for lunch and for a visit to the Relics of the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang. In Tibet Dolma was very responsive to our need to change my itinerary as I was not well enough to travel to a higher altitude. She took us to the bank and supermarket and made sure we were okay. All guides met us with their drivers ...more

Dear Karen,

Thanks for your organizing of our comfortable trip in China.The weather was nice. The restaurants our guide selected were great and the food in this regions is very enjoyable We were surprised with how high we were, 2700 to 3400 meters, and we didn't feel any elevation effects. The hotel was nice. Being in the old town allowed us to walk around. We did learn about large groups as those European foreigners ate everything in sight for breakfast, but the staff replenished it. The staff was very nice and helpful. The guide and driver were very professional and attentive to making sure our needs were meett. Barb would like to go back to that area and see more things. I am always interested in historical sites and anything related to the Flying Tigers which were in this area of China during the Second World War. Oh yes and the guide even took us out to lunch on the last day for the local special noodles before we left for the airport. Now we need to plan for May ...more

Dear Sunny,

We have just returned home from our trip to Guilin and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for putting together such an excellent package for us. We found both the value and quality well worth it and I have recommended your company to several of my friends who are planning trips to your beautiful country. It never ceases to amaze me by the quality of your staff. Last year, Angela arranged our itinerary for Beijing and Xian, and we were so impressed by your guides and drivers. They were professional and well trained and we were sad to say goodbye to them. Our guide, Lily Guo, was excellent in her job. Not only did she show us the beauty of Guilin, but was very accommodating to our every request. In Yangshuo, for example, we asked her about the possibility of taking a ride on the bamboo rafts which we saw all throughout the city, so Lily arranged it for us and to have our bicycles trucked to our destination. ...more

Dear Cheryl,

I was just organizing all of my pictures and putting them on a CD when I thought I should e-mail you some pictures and a big THANK YOU for planning a wonderful trip. We were so happy to meet you. I did feel like I knew you before I met you - from our e-mails. You were so efficient and pleasant to work with. Thank you for all of your help and especially thank you for giving us Foster. What a joy he is! So I have attached some pictures. Let me know if you would like more and if there is anything special you would like. I have 300 something! Thanks again Cheryl. Good luck to you on the rest of your busy tourist season!

Besst regards

Karen
