Testimonials from Australia

Dear Eva,
We have settled back into our normal lives after our fabulous China trip just before the Olympic Games. Our young guides in Shanghai and Chongqing where a pleasure to travel with as they were very knowledgeable on the districts we travelled through and freely gave us information about topics we were interested in such as the private lives of typical Chinese people. The Yangtze River Cruise and the Terracotta Warriors at Xian were highlights of our trip. Thank you for your efforts to get us on the ship going up the Yangtze: we really appreciated the luxury and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. As you are aware the three families in our group were all parents of Australian Olympic swimmers and the trip was just the tonic we needed before facing the stress of watching our children competing at the Games. So once again thanks for providing us with a fantastic China experience.

David,
Here a a few pictures for you. I will write to you in more detail and tell you how I enjoyed my China trip. It all worked very well, thanks to you. China is a facinating country. And thanks for the dinner with you and Wendy and Nini. Thanks again and I value your friendship.

David,

A few more pictures of my trip to China. Hope there aren't too many.

I really enjoyed my visit, and thank you for making all the arrangements, which worked very well. It was nice to be met and looked after so well. Your guides were very good, particularly Lola, who I mostly called Wei. Of course she was the guide who I spent the most time with and I enjoyed her company too. Please thank her for me. Guilin is a very picturesque city, I could have spent more time there.The hotels were great, 3 star is all I ever want.

The cruise was marvellous, I was quite facinated with China, particularly the Yangtze, I couldn't take my eyes off all the activity on the river, ...more

Dear Jean
I'm writing to thank you and China Highlights for arranging our visit to Xian and cruise on the Yangtze. All the arrangements, flights and tours went smoothly. We want to thank Cindy, our guide in Xian and our driver for making our visit so interesting and enjoyable, and specially thank Cindy for suggesting a detour to the Han Yang Ling museum on our way to the airport. It's almost as good as Qin's Terracotta Army but not well known. I've posted a review on the Trip Advisor web site which I hope will attract more visitors. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g608464-d674500-r21366405-Han_Yang_Ling_Museum-Xianyang_Shaanxi.html. China Highlights could also try promoting it more. Our only disappointment was our choice of MV Emperor for the Yangtze cruise. Although the trip was interesting and quite comfortable, and the ship staff were excellent, we do not think that the Emperor should be advertised or priced as "5 star". The ship itself is not in good ...more

Just like to say thank you Rebecca for all your help with our recent stay and tour of Xian. Everything was fantastic. From the beginning of contacting you with all the organisation, and then eventually we arrived, and our Guide – Helen and our driver were all fantastic. We had a wonderful visit to Xian and all of the 3 of you help make it so.
Thank you again Kathryn Lindsay

Dear Hu,
The Great Wall of China, as photos cannot capture its grandeur, its steepness or what lengths people would go to to protect their land. I only had 1 guide - Jeff and he was fabulous. He made my trip from great to fantastic. Jeff was very informative, accommodating, knowledgeable, had great communication skills and could really relate to me. Jeff ensured all my requests were accommodated, he really looked after me like a friend rather than a paid guide. Without him my time in Beijing would not have been as wonderful. I only stayed in 1 hotel and it met all my expectations and breakfast was great. I had only 1 lunch, whist the food was tasty and the service friendly, many of the plates and cups were chipped. Definitely, Michael was great organiser and everything worked out very well. I think the tour of old Beijing should be recommended to travellers. It provides an insight as to how others live.
