Testimonials July 2008

Candy,
Thanks for the lovely bookmarks you sent through Steve Coopersmith, and thanks for all the arrangements for our time in China. We are still talking about it with our friends and family. The hotels were all great, the cruise on the Yangtze delightful, we saw many fascinating sights, the guides were great (Ann in Xi'an and Lucy in Shanghai were especially good), help from all the guides at the airports was most appreciated, and so many wonderful things to see. I especially appreciate the way you helped my father locate us via Ann's cell phone in Xi'an. He is 81 and was anxious about our welfare following the news of the earthquake. Once he knew we were okay, he was quite pleased with himself for hunting us down. I would not hesitate recommending you and China Highlights to others. Trust this finds you and yours well and looking forward to the excitement for China of having the ...more

Hi Candy,
Dunhuang: All four of us were extremely happy with the guide and driver. Helen took us to the Sand Dunes very early in the morning. A very good advice since it got very hot nearer lunch time. She told us about the history of the Mogao Grottoes which complimented the wonderful tour we had through the different caves. The driver was very considerate by getting the car cooled down before we arrived back and drove to the next attraction. This is perfect service. The Hotel rooms were good. The Hotel overall was good. However, the breakfast was not to our liking. We are used to Chinese breakfasts by now but the selection offered by this Hotel was too different for us. Lunch was wonderful. Helen took us to a lovely restaurant which had both airconditioning and delicious food. The selection of the Xi'an and the Shanghai Hotels is very good. Great locations, very good service, nice breakfast and good views. We will forward your questionnaire to Bonnee and Carolyn. Kind regards Marianne and Reinhold ...more

Dear Candy ,
I like the best Guilin and Li river cruise and biking after river cruise . And of course Forbiden City and Summer palace and tarassed fields. All my guides were very good and it is hard to choose . If I have to do it I will say thay mabey Clair in Guilin and Eleven in Beijing because I've spent with them much more time than with other guides All holets and meal were great. I like the best hotel in Shanghai.I 've already done it. I 'v recomended your company to two of my friends.Mabey if it is posiblle more time in Summer Place- having posibility to claimb to the Pagoda in Summer Palace . In Shanghai I think children palace is not interesting and you can aad more places to see than I had.

Hi Karen,
Thank you!!! The trip was amazing and I had such a wonderful time, my friend also reflected that he appreciated all the accommodations!!! Each city had wonderful attractions. But for me the Mutianyu Great Wall and Xi'an City Wall were the most memorable. It was amazing to climb the Great Wall, and it was great the wall was not crowded at all. Bicycle ride on the Xi'an City Wall was relaxing and great way to enjoy the city scenery.All the tour guides were great, but I think Linda and Brenda did wonderful jobs as tour guides in Beijing and Xi'an. In Hangzhou I did manage to take the free afternoon and go back to my childhood neighborhood!!! I even found my old apartment building and visited my elementary school!!! It was very emotional (in a very good way) and it was wonderful to see how a lot of changes happened, but still a lot has remained the same as it did 14 years ago also! :) All hotels and meals were excellent!! Each hotel had great services as well. I personally enjoyed Hangzhou ...more
