Testimonials April 2008

Hi Eva:

Thanks. We did have a wonderful time. You were very much a part of the special memories my family have taken away from the visit to your beautiful and bountiful country.

Attractions: Whilst Xian was truly beautiful and inspiring the most memorable aspect was certainly the Great Wall – its scale and natural beauty was simply so spectacular. Aside from the obvious - absolutely not too be missed Beihai Lake and Lama Temple in Beijing and something they might not think off to go to the lowering of the Chinese Flag in Tiananmen Square – which is a strangely solemn occasion and well respected by the very many hundreds of people who go to watch this event.

Guide: Without doubt the best tour guide was Lee (your guide who took us to Xian) she was well informed and so passionate about her work which was infectious.

Hotels and Meal: We loved the Holiday Inn hotel in Shanghai as it ...more

Hi Karen:

Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful trip we had and the wonderful job you did on organizing it for us. Everything went very smoothly.

Hotels: The hotels were wonderful and were more than a 3 star hotel....very spacious.

Tour Guides: Our guides and drivers were great. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the first guide when we arrived. The other 3 were Coffee, Xin and Linda. Xin was unbelievable and deserves a raise. Linda was also great and Coffee. One day my husband was sick and our agenda had to be changed and Xin was wonderful. She was a big help to my husband.

The cruise was out of this world and so were the views. Accomodations were great and the staff on the boat couldn't do enough for you. I would readily recommend your organization to anyone looking for a trip to China and we would not hesitate to book through you again, if we decide to do another trip. Thank you so much for your patience in ...more

Dear Karen,

Tour guides: I think that all the guides were particularly considerate and attentive. There are many examples! The guide in Lijiang ( although a young man ) reminded me of the high altitude and the necessity of sunscreen to protect from sunburn. The guide in Dali had heard that I did not want to be in the sun and on the boat trip on Lake Erhai, positioned chairs in the shade. Claire sand two beautiful songs! All guides were attentive that I had bottled water. They all took into consideration my wishes and were flexible. They all gave the feeling of wanting to share what they knew about their country and culture. Not at all the parroting information that you can get from some guides who recite what they have learned by heart! Of all the guides, Lisa in Dali was the most knowledgeable.House Lee in Lijiang was very knowledgeable and very good company. Claire in Guilin and Yangshou was quite young but has lots of potential, as does Mary in Shanghai. I was VERY ...more

Dear Karen:

Thank you for a great experience of China!!

Hotels and Meals: The Sunworld hotel Beijing was very clean and comfortable and very convenient. We did find a huge indoor shopping center very close to the Sunworld Hotel that I thought might be worth mentioning. All of the meals were very good.

Attractions: The most memorable would definetly have to be The Great Wall!! More amazing than we could have imagined.

Tour Guide: Jerry was a very enthusiastic and informative tour guide.
