Dear Elaine,
Thanks for arranging our China trip. Our guides were all helpful and fun to be with. I enjoyed the trip overall and was satisfied with the arrangements. The guides were good and accommodating. It was a pleasure to our guides' personal lives and each city's economics, demographics, etc.
Beijing: Crystal was accommodating and answered all my questions including personal ones with ease, openness, and humor. She has a good sense of humor and was laughing as hard as I was during the trip. A fun guide in Beijing is a must. Otherwise it could be boring for somebody who has a little Chinese history background but do not really enjoy historical sites like I am. Except for the last day, as we have to go to the airport, she did not hurry us around which I appreciate as this is one of the main reasons that I went on a private tour. I want to take my time to enjoy the sites, make some comments, ask questions, and take some pictures. It is difficult to completely enjoy the site, if I will be constantly looking at my watch.
Crystal made our Beijing trip really enjoyable.
Yangtze Cruise: We started on the wrong foot due to our fault but ended up really enjoying it. The rooms were clean and the massages were excellent. The scenic view is breathtaking. I wish the weather was not so hot otherwise I would be on the deck all day.
Chongqing to Guilin: David Lao, our transfer guide, was honest and professional. I have never met somebody who is so enamored with his city and was so fervent in recommending it to us to explore next time. I might come back to see, if he is right. After all, it is the biggest city in terms of population – 32 million and growing fast. I enjoyed learning all about Chinese beds. I would like to meet David again if I come back to Chongqing.
Guilin: Mark Yang, our guide, was very informative and his recommendation of the acrobat and ballet show was excellent. He gave us the best seat and I enjoyed the ballet very much. We also watched the musical and lighting show in Yangshuo if I understand Mandarin, I would have enjoyed it but, unfortunately, I do not.
Shanghai: Jennifer Liu, our guide was very professional. I felt the most warmth from her. We have only a one day tour in Shanghai and a free day. She scheduled my free day and the scheduling was excellent. She knows Shanghai very well and how much time I will need at each location. She also gave us a souvenir on our last day which was a pleasant surprise and really a nice touch. I wish that we have more time in Shanghai with her.
I will be glad to reccomend China Highlights and you to anybody.
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Elsa Paches (Yang)
