Hi Jean,
The most memorable attraction was the Three Gorges, nice cruise ship, great scenery, although nothing on our itinerary disappointed Nancy Kim was our best guide, extremely friendly, very easy to talk to, knew a lot about all the attractions, always early and dependable. All of our guides were good and always on time, very well organised by China Highlights All hotels were fine, the ones in Xian and Wuhan were the best. Breakfast was generally disappointing with little choice and poor quality of European cuisine. The Golden Palm was a nice hotel, although buffet was disappointing and was generally set up for Russian guests. Definitely! Excellent tours, very dependable guides and drivers, perfectly organised. Very reasonable compared to European & American agents, although with greater knowledge I felt we could have saved a little more money or received a better class of hotel for the same Comments & suggestions written on each point. All attractions on our tours were good, although maybe not ...more

Hello Jean,
Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that our trip went wonderfully. Your staff at every location was on time, helpful and well prepared. We enjoyed each guide very much, especially Cheryl Chan in Xi'an, who made several accommodations for us. The only thing that wasn't exactly perfect was the Yangtze cruise ship. The good news was that there were only 60 passengers on board (capacity 224), so we had plenty of room, no crowds on the shore excursions, etc. The shipboard guide, Kathy, was great. On the downside, the cruise line GREATLY exaggerates the size of the rooms. The rooms are not even close to the square meters stated on the website. Maybe half. We had upgraded to a "business suite". What a joke…the room was the same size as the regular rooms but had a small couch crammed into it instead of two chairs! We ended up paying for the smaller Presidential suite on board (RMB6000 extra), so we were comfortable, but had I known earlier that we would have to pay this ...more

Dear Michael,
Thought I would write and tell you how fabulous our trip to Beijing was. Firstly let me say that all dealings with China Highlights have been beyond reproach and in all ways exactly as represented and delivered. From first to last every aspect of our trip was wonderful and totally enjoyable. The transfer from the airport to the hotel and back again was without a hitch. Tracy our guide and Mr. Jong our driver were fantastic. Tracy is a knowledgeable guide with great English skills. Mr. Jong our driver knew Beijing like the “palm of his hand”. Our hotel, the Sunworld is a world class contempory property located in the heart of Beijing’s happening districts. The hotel personnel were kind and friendly as well as having enough English skills to make us comfortable. Our room was large by any standard and very comfortable. All of the venues we arranged to visit were as presented and beyond our expectations. Pat and I were so impressed with Beijing and the ...more

Dear Eva,
There were so many memorable attractions but the most memorable for me, Deborah, was the city of Lhasa, Tibet. Lhasa was one of those places that clings to my memory as a authentic people in a very unique situation. The pictures of the people of Tibet and how they dress and the customs were exactly how they look and live daily 24/7 as we have seen throughout our studies of your country and it's people.All of the tour guides that you had lined up for us, with the exception of the guide that picked us up from the ship, Victoria, to take us to the train, were very good. That guide, that we never knew his name as we were with him for just a couple of hours at most, didn't speak hardly any English, but he did take us to a supermarket to buy snacks for the train which we greatly appreciated! Our guide in Lhasa, Tsewang, was a genuine, caring Tibetan who cared so much about our every need. Fred arrived sick in Tibet from dissentary and was in bed most of 2 days. Tsewang was very very concerned ...more

Hi Sunny!
Sorry for the delay in replying - I hope you didn’t think we weren’t going to! Right at the very end of our trip I got sick, and spent a miserable week when we got back. All OK now, but we’ve been trying to catch up with work etc. and are desperately busy. I’ll try to answer your questions, but they are surprisingly difficult to give precise answers to. This is really because the whole trip was absolutely fantastic, and there were SO many wonderful things to see an do, SO many wonderful people we met (including all the guides), that it is very hard to say which was the best. I’d rather just comment generally. And Pam may have different opinions from mine, so I won’t send this on till she has had a chance to comment also. As a first general comment (which we have made to the many friends who have asked), we would say that “Everything worked as planned”. Every guide met us as promised. Every transport worked on time, as booked. Every hotel was ...more
