Visita a Guilin
Una experiencia inolvidable. Nuestro guía Alonso es muy profesional y atento. Nos mostró la belleza de las terrazas de arroz. El paseo en “side car” fue una gran aventura. more

Traumreise durch China
Wir waren w?hrend unserer 14 t?gigen Rundreise in China restlos begeistert von Land, Leute, Kultur und Essen. Alle Autos waren sauber und gepflegt und neuere Modelle. Bei unseren stets pünktlichen Fahrern haben wir uns sicher und bestens gefühlt. St?ndig hat man uns Wasser angeboten, einfach toll. Unsere Reiseführer sprachen flie?end deutsch und hatten ein umfassendes Wissen bei den jeweiligen Ausflügen und haben den ganzen Tag dafür gesorgt, dass es uns an nichts fehlt. Besonders waren auch die extravaganten Ausflüge wie z.B.einen Terrakotta Krieger selber basteln und mit nach Hause nehmen, oder die Radltour auf der Stadtmauer von Xi'An. Ein dickes DANKE an: Xiabo Song (Peking), Ken (Xi'An), Axel (Chengdu), Beate (Shanghai) und Lukas (Guilin). Die ganze Reise hat auch Lukas zusammen gestellt. Wir durften sogar das Büro von China-Highlights mit etwa 100 Mitarbeitern besuchen. Lieber Lukas, vielen herzlichen Dank für die wundervolle Zeit in China und Deine pers?nliche überraschung zu unserem 10. Hochzeitstag N?chstes Jahr gehen wir wieder auf Reise, natürlich mit China-Highlights more

UN VIAJE DE MARAVILLAS
Contratamos un tour con la Agencia China Highlights desde Argentina. Somos un matrimonio de 62 y 60 a?os de La Plata, Provincia de Buenos Aires. Queremos destacar que todo el itinerario proporcionado por LUCIA ha sido de maravillas. Recorrimos Beijing, Xian, Zhangjiajie, Shangai, Suzhou, Guilin, Yangshuo y luego fuimos a Hong Kong y Japón. En este caso, emitimos una opinión respecto de Guilin y el guía ALONSO. Destacamos todo su conocimiento del lugar y del perfecto espa?ol que habla. Esto ha hecho que nuestra estadía haya sido espectacular, desde la Cueva de la Flauta de Ca?a hasta el recorrido por Yangshuo. Nos hemos sentido respaldados y confiados en todo el lugar, como también es válido remarcar el excelente chofer que nos acompa?ó en todo el recorrido por Guilin y Yangshuo. GRACIAS por todo lo brindado, el servicio prestado ha sido EXCELENTE. Saludamos a ellos, SANDRA y PABLO. more
