Finding a China Holiday

 

Testimonials June 2008

Dear Elaine,
Overall we had a good time and found the trip to be very interesting. We really enjoyed the Great Wall, Rice Terraces, Li River Cruise, and Peking Acrobats. All of our guides were very helpful, knowledgeable about the attractions, and professional. Jingjing was the most outstanding of the three as she was very flexible and did not try to upsell. She arranged tickets for us for the Peking Acrobats - came with us to the theater and made sure we were seated properly before she left. The tickets she arranged were at a discounted price and here was no extra cost for her time. Wallace went out of his way to ensure our room was taken care of when the air conditioning was not working. Wallace was also helpful in arranging tickets for the local folk show in XIan.The room in the Guilin hotel was very nice and the desk staff were professional. Yes - the service was excellent and professional.

Hi Jane,
Just to thank you and Karen(an excellent travel advisor) and everyone involved in our trip to China. We really had a fantastic time and everything went like clockwork. Our four guides were absolutely lovely and very helpful. The food, especially that recommended by our guides was great. We learnt a lot about Chinese culture from them. The only little complaint was our hotel in Yangshoo. The Aiyuan Hotel. I know it was 3 star but breakfast there was very disappointing. The dishes that should have been hot had been prepared earlier and as a result were very unappetising. Also, now this may not have been their fault but it was not possible to use the internet. Other that that small complaint, and it is a small one, we had a great holiday and would recommend China Highlights highly. Thank you again for your patience and the very best of luck to you all. Regards, Norma O'Riordan

Dear Candy,
I hope that you have received my Smilebox photos and that you can share them with Vivian.  Vivian mentioned that you take foreigners to volunteer to help out with your marketing. I would like some information about that opportunity, please. I also mentioned New Orient Cruise from a>YiChang to ChongQing to you. It is a very excellent cruise line. If you would like information about it, you can call Kassie (my son's, Wang Jun Guo - English name of Gabby - friend) at 07178562214. She is very nice and has been working for them for many years. Actually on of the things.
 We enjoyed the most was the bike ride through the country. Vivian was great!

Dear Eva,
It was wonderful to meet you in Guilin. We had a truly amazing trip to China. Thank you again.
1. Probably Huangshan and the Li River were the most memorable because we love spectacular landscapes but all the places we visited were new and exciting.
2. We felt all the guides were helpful and courteous. Ivy gave us a fantastic welcome to China and we felt very 'at home' with her. Linda was a great enthusiast for Beijing and we really enjoyed touring with her. Claire was perhaps the outstanding guide because she dealt so easily with a couple of problems we had and, of course, she has such a bright and lively personality.
3. The hotels were excellent although the dining room/breakfast at Pacific Luck in Shanghai did not come up to expectations (the room and location were very good however). In general, we liked the hotels with more of a Chinese character best. We liked the way our guides chose local ...more

Hi, Elaine,
Definitely the Terracotta warriors is the best sight. I have been looking forward to this for a very long time and it was a dream to go there. I was not disappointed. It was like stepping into history for a moment, being part of something grand and at the same time something mysterious, knowing that all this is just a little part of what is still out there. I walked around pit1 several times and kept on looking at the warriors over and over again. It was hypnotizing.
My guide was Sheryl and she was very nice. Obviously she knew her stuff and was able to answer any questions. Speaking with her and asking her questions, I could easily figure out that she had gone beyond just learning the stuff from her company but had done additional research and looked for more information. But most importantly, she was also interested in the people coming to her tour. She asked the right questions to figure out their likes and dislikes and was able to incorporate elements to the tour, ...more
