Dear Candy,


Please see my answers below. I had a fun trip


The most memorable attraction:  I had to do the Yangtze river cruise and the great wall. And they were great. However I would have loved to stay the entire day around the summer palace.


Tour guide:  I had 3 people total, two of which picked me up primarily to take me to the airport. So Emily would have to be the most outstanding. However everyone seemed knowledgeable.


Hotel and meals: The restaurants in Beijing were all good. I know China highlights have contracts with all scheduled stops. Even though the owner may have changed hands since their initial evaluation all were good.


Comments: Summer Palace, more time! Please consider giving the guides either business cards or name badges with the 'china highlights' logo. Everyone was friendly and ...more

Dear Candy,


It's now a week since we are back home from our China trip. And at the end we can tell you that everything went smooth, we stayed healthy during all the time in China and we didn't have to change our itinerary at all. All reservations have been done according to our wishes and the tickets were ready at the time needed. Let me go through your questionnaire in short:


The Most memorable attractions: Li River Cruise / Yangtse River Cruise ,Terracotta Army in Xi'an and Shanghai. We only had a tour guide for transfers in Chongqing and Yichang. All went perfectly well.


Hotel and Meals: All hotel arrangements we have done by ourselves. We were happy that we stayed in hotels like Sheraton, Novotel and Four Points by Sheraton. We know the chinese food and we like it. But we had to learn that the local chinese food is sometimes a bit strange for non-chinese. The food on President 2 was prepared also for western taste and we enjoyed it. ...more

Hi Candy,


Here are some of my suggestions and observations from our recent trip:


The most memorable attraction that we visited must be the Great Wall of China. The children particularly enjoyed the attraction, especially my son who is 8 years old.


Tour Guide and Driver: Nancy Kim was a very efficient tour guide. She allowed us a great deal of flexibility and we were able to see the Olympic Village and go the the Ya Show market. I must also commend her for being very good in dealing with the children. My daughter enjoyed her company very much. Wang Sian Shen, who was our driver during the tour, was also very good. I usually do not enjoy long drives because they make me nauseous, but Wang Sian Shen was a very good driver.


Accommodation: We stayed at the Novotel Peace Hotel. The rooms, as well as the housekeeping service, were excellent. My son needed to have his shoes repaired, and the hotel promptly sent a ...more

Dear Candy,


Thanks for organizing the trip for us. Following is the reply to your questions.


The most memorable Attractions: By far, our favorite part of the tour was the hike along the Li River. I really appreciate the fact that you and Vivian took the time to scout out the route for us in advance. We had a great time rock balancing! Definitely not on the tour plan, but Vivian was soooo flexible.


The most outstanding tour guide:  Vivian is an absolute gem. I would highly recommend her to any of my colleagues, and we wish we could have taken her to Shanghai with us! Vivian always treated us like old friends from out of town. She was very proud of her culture and heritage, and was gracious to answer our endless questions about her family and the local customs. Kelly was fairly knowledgable about Shanghai.  The highlights were the Yuyuan gardens, the museum, and ...more

Dear Candy,
Sorry for taking us so long to answer to your email, but Marcelo has been travelling between Mexico and NY since we got back from our trip to China. We had a great time there and we were very pleased to have chosen China Highlights. Everything worked out smoothly, our guides were great, specially Grace, and Guillin was really worth the trip! You can be sure we will recommend your services to our friends.
Thanks again,
Claudia Di Lorenzo/Brazil
