Hello, Sunny,

Thank you for your inquiry and follow-up. The requested responses are below in this e-mail. I appreciate your part in making my brief stay in Hong Kong relaxing and enjoyable.

The best thing: The welcoming of the guide at the airport, and steering us to the hotel, then later, the brief tour of the city. It was a relief not to have to arrange all those things for ourselves after a long, tiring flight. It gave us a chance to become familiar with our surroundings before branching out on our own. The guides also answered questions and offered suggestions when we told them what we planned to do independently. Even as we were being escorted to the airport as we were departing, the guide was providing information and knowledge that we took with us.

China Highlights was very helpful from the first Internet inquiry, through planning and hotel selection, constantly keeping in touch with rapid replies to e-mail. I received friendly and professional service throughout ...more

Hi Sunny,

Here are some comments:

We had a very good experience with China Highlights. My wife and I paid for a deluxe tour, with private guide and driver. Everything went very smoothly. The people in China were polite, and we sensed no bias against foreign tourists. People in crowds and queues can be physically pushy, but they do this to everybody, including other Chinese, so don't take this personally. Very few people speak English, although all of our guides and most of the hotel staff were fluent. The guides and drivers were always on time and courteous, and our accommodations were exactly as expected.?

We stayed at the Peninsula Beijing hotel, which was very comfortable (check out the 42 inch plasma TV), and had an excellent breakfast buffet. We saw the usual sites around Beijing,and all of them are worth seeing.

We also took a cruise on the Yangtze River from Yichang to Chongqing on the Victoria Katarina. The ship was very nice, and looked to be the best of all the ...more

I think China Highlights have arranged everything very well. Well done!

Learning about chinese history, visiting each unique place of interest (I look forward to every single day of the tour while I was there) and the food arranged for us were good and clean. (we did not suffer from any stomach problems, I was impressed). I also enjoyed visits to the silk, jade and coloisse factory. Perhaps, places like Forbidden city and Summer palace, travellers should allocate a day each to those attractions so that they can see more sections and if there is any remaining time, then probably include other city sights so that travellers get the whole picture of Beijing (both historical and modern bits). Travellers should definitely visit the Great wall, Forbidden City, Summer Palace and temple of heaven. I think that beijing has too many things to do and see, if they want a proper visit, they should definitely go for a 5 day or a week tour! Westerners should probably visit the markets in Beijing (it will be an ...more

Morgen, in reference to my recent excursion to Huangshan, I (and Adrian) want to thank you and your company for your expertise in providing an excellent trip. Everything went to perfection – great guide (Gerry), great trip! Thank you. I will have no doubts when I recommend you and your company to any similar holiday. I can only hope that one day I can return to your beautiful country.

Morgen, in rereading my journal of the trip, I was reminded of many interesting times and experiences. Overall, we all thought that China Highlights provided us with excellent service which enhanced our visit. I have recommended you and China Highlights to several friends already. I would not be surprised if you hear from some of them in the near future.

As you might guess, I'm not a professional photographer by any stretch of the imagination however, I do have some photos that may be of interest to you. If so, I'll happily forward them to you.

The best thing of my trip: Our favorite city was Guillin. This is a beautiful city with many things to offer. Our experience was enhanced tremendously by our guide, Grace. Guillin provided us with the most varied experiences and best food. Especially enjoyed the visit to Dragon's Backbone. The highlight here was of course the scenery, but I found the village fascinating. I would recommend more opportunities to get to know these people. 0ur ...more
