Testimonials June 2007

Candy,
Overall, I think China Highlights did a great job pulling together our itinerary on such short notice. The flights allowed us to have four full days of touring. The hotel rooms were great, and the food was excellent. My favorite parts of the tour were the Li River cruise, the Reed Flute Cave, the Tai Chi training, and bike riding and hiking in the Yangshou countryside. It rained during our Moon Mountain hike, so I would like to return to Yangshou to try it again, as well as a bamboo raft ride (looked like more fun than the bouncy bike ride). All the other scheduled tour activities were fine for a first time visitor, but I would probably skip if I were to visit the area again.

Vivian was a wonderful travel companion. She provided deep insight into the local culture, and she went out of her way to give us additional touring opportunities (Seven Star Park, Guilin Li River Theatre, lakes walk). Getting to know Vivian was probably the biggest highlight of the tour!

Dear Elaine:

Thank you for your assistance during our visit to Guilin. We had a wonderful time and we will certainly recommend your services.

The best thing about the trip was our visit to Guilin itself, in particular, the Li River cruise and the Yulong bamboo rafting trip. The city is remarkably beautiful and the sights are breathtaking. I think that Guilin is a place not to be missed when visiting China. I also enjoyed dealing with you Elaine. I appreciated your prompt and efficient replies and your willingness to accommodate our needs. Mark, our greeter in Guilin was also very professional and helpful. He provided the assurance of your presence and professionalism at all times throughout the visit.

I will certainly recommend your services to my friends and family.

Thank you,

Ibis Lam

Dear Karen,

We want to tell you again how much we enjoyed our trip and how much we appreciate the work you did to make it so fabulous. China is a fascinating country and we believe the tour you put together for us was exceptional in helping us understand the culture and people. Based on your questions, here is our feedback and recommendations.

I think overall we liked not being in a large group. The guides and personalization of the tour were very important to us. We like to ask a lot of questions and learn a lot of detail about what we see and it is hard to receive this in groups. We also liked the flexibility of the guides who were very helpful in accommodating changes we wanted to the schedule. Again, a group tour would not be able to be as flexible. In other words, the personal attention was very nice.

We really enjoyed the food in local restaurants that were not the typical tourist restaurants where we could have local specialties.

Sunny,
The trip was awesome. I already suggested few of my friends that if they are going to do a trip in china, they can contact you guys. if you would love to, I can send you some pictures later. Guilin and yangshuo has the best view, tibet has the best culture, xi'an has the best hotel, and beijing is good for shopping. Jay and I enjoyed a lot. He said if we both have time, we may travel to china again, but next time, we will visit difference places.

We like the mountain view, and we love the biking part as well. The weather in guilin is just perfect. warm but not hot. the best part of the trip for us would be in yangshuo. I felt like I was in the heaven. You can see the farm, mountains in the daytime, and you are back to the city at night since there are tens of club and pub waiting for you at western street. if you love shopping, you can also find lots of unique stuff. we really ...more

Dear Eva
We wanted to thank you for arranging our trip. Everything worked out perfectly, there were no problems with any of the travel arrangements. The hotel accomodations were great and the guides were informative and very helpful. The guides' English was excellent in all cases, and their knowledge about local history and culture was very good to excellent. We especially liked the flexibility the private tour gave allowing the guide to change or make suggestions when we had extra time or elected to substitute a different activity in the itinerary. We would highly recommend the private tour as a means of seeing the most sites with the most flexibility-absolutely the best part of the tour. There were so many memorable sites-the Great wall-especially the more remote area we visited, the terracotta soldiers in Xi'an, the Leshan Buddha and Dazu were spectacular-not to be missed, the medicine market in Chengdu was fascinating, the acrobatic show in Shanghai was amazing. I don't think we would change a thing ...more
