Testimonials 2008

Dear Candy,
I always wanted to tell you how much we did enjoy our holidays in July in China! Our tour was just great. Everything was perfectly organized and went well. Xian and the Yangtze River cruise were my absolut favorites and I can recommend it to everybody. I've heard that there is a new train now from Beijing to Lasha. We may do this trip in 2 years. When we come to China next time, I certainely will get back to you for the organization. Thank you very much again for your good work and with best regards from Zürich Andrea

Jay,
I am very sorry about the delay in responding to your inquiry below. Steven did not receive the message (since the only email address you have is my email address), and the message below was not sent to my inbox but was rather placed in my quarantine/junk mail.
My thank you note is below (and while we appreciate the offer, we politely decline the need for any reward). I want to thank you so much for all of your help in arranging our Tibetan tour. The Tibet re-opened the day before we flew to Shanghai. Originally, our plan was to explore Shanghai, the canal towns, and the West Lake areas of China. However, upon our arrival, we heard about the re-opened Tibet and we decided, even though the possibility was remote, that we would try to find our way to Tibet. We had eight days total in Asia before our return flight to San Francisco, and we had heard rumors regarding ...more

Hi Karen,
I wanted to send you a note and thank you so much for all your efforts. We had a terrific time on our trip in China, and the China Highlights portion was a huge reason for that. Everything went so well, and all the segments were amazing in their own way. My only suggestion is that you strongly encourage travelers against entering Hong Kong via train. Our experience in the Shenzen train station (and entering Hong Kong at that point) was very nerve- wracking. Even so, the trip was great, overall!
Thanks again,
Steven Tuckey

Elaine,
Here are my comments on the trip. We had a fabulous time--it was the perfect way to see China! We thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing! Thank you so much for all of your help. Your prompt responses and useful information really made me feel comfortable as I was planning and ordering our trip through China Highlights. For most of us, the Forbidden City was an unforgettable and mesmerizing place. The architecture was amazing, and we thoroughly enjoyed our guide's explanations.This is a difficult question to answer because we thought that all of our guides were wonderful. They were all so accommodating, professional, and knowledgeable. But if we had to choose one guide as the most outstanding, it would be our Beijing guide, Samantha. She was so knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, and she seemed to have particularly good timing when she explained things and helped us move throughout the tour. That day probably had the busiest schedule or our entire trip, and it was impressive to see how she handled ...more

Liebe Lissy
Da wir anschliessend an die Chinareise noch Badeferien machten, kann ich Ihren Brief erst heute beantworten. Hoffentlich geht es Ihnen gut. Vorab m?chten wir Ihnen noch danken für die sehr gut organisierte Chinareise, die uns ausserordentlich gut gefallen hat.

Eigentlich war das meiste sehr beeindruckend. Vor allem haben uns die Han Gr?ber und die Terracotta Armee beeindruckt. Aber auch der Himmelstempel in Beijing war sehr beeindruckend. Die Zugfahrt von Beijing nach Xian war tadellos.

Max in Peking hat uns durch seine Sprachkenntnisse sehr beeindruckt. Aber in Chongqing waren wir auch sehr beeindruckt von unserem Reiseleiter, der uns in so kurzer Aufenthaltszeit so viel zeigen konnte: Tierpark mit Pandab?ren, ein Museum mit alten Chinam?beln, Vermittlung eines Eindruckes der riesigen Stadt….wie er für uns eincheckte, und wir das Museum fertig besichtigen konnten.

Ganz allgemein gesagt, waren alle Führer sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und konnten viele Fragen ...more
