China Tour Reviews

Hi Kelly and Sophie,

We wanted to write to say how unbelievably happy we were with our experience in China, especially our Beijing section with "Du" and "Mr. Lee". Their service was outstanding and we would like to say THANK YOU for a wonderful tour.

The tour organization was fantastic. You always replied to all of our emails and questions and there were no issues. Everything exceeded our expectations.

It was great that we could check in at 9am on our day of arrival. The hotel was clean and safe and we really enjoyed the New Year dragon ceremony.

The meals were lovely and we appreciated Du's assistance in ordering appropriate food. The breakfast was wonderful - so much choice.

The driver's attitude was fantastic. He was keen to communicate with us. The vehicle was kept clean and water was always provided.

We have not organized our photos as yet, but will send you some when we are organized.

We will recommend your company to all our friends. Will you please personally thank Du and Mr. Lee for us? Thanks very much,

Warm regards,

Donna and Daryl

Hi Kelly,

We enjoyed every moment of this wonderful trip and appreciated its perfect organization.

We preferred the breakfast in Guilin to the ones in Yangshuo. The latter were a bit too much on the Chinese side and not really catering for Western tastes. The proposed length of the hiking tours was, however, sometimes a bit too much for us, being an elderly couple, but our guide Mr. Wu managed this problem wonderfully. Thus he organized a continuation of our hiking tour along the river Li by having us floating to Xingding on a bamboo raft. We can only hope that other guides are as engaging and competent as Mr. Wu in coping with individual needs. The variations given in the outline description had indeed been decisive for booking this trip.

I agree to publish all or any part of this comment, but only without giving my email-address. I am thinking of sending some of our pictures to you and will ask you to forward them to Mr. Wu.

With best regards,

Gudrun

We had a fantastic holiday in China and everything you arranged for us through Travel China Guide was absolutely perfect - thank you. Joe, Gloria and David, our tour guides did an excellent job and are credit to your company. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt very well looked after. I would certainly recommend and use your company again.

In answer to your questions:

1. Meals were great, nice restaurants, good choice, tasty food and excellent service. The guides helped us choose from the menu and gave some great suggestions.

2. The service, attitude, knowledge and language of all three guides were excellent. We feel they went out of their way to make our trip a great experience, they were all very friendly yet remained professional at all times. We left two cameras in our hotel in Shanghai and Gloria our guide in Beijing was extremely helpful and we had both cameras back in just a few days. Gloria also lent my son a coat as it was well below freezing during our trip to the great wall which was so kind of her.

3. The drivers were polite and friendly and the cars were clean, comfortable and warm!

4. The hotels were all great and the breakfasts good. We particularly liked the holiday inn in Beijing although a little out of the centre we enjoyed the walk. The grand Stanford in Hong Kong was also excellent and a great location right on the harbor front in Kowloon, and everywhere was within easy walking distance.

1. Meals - the 2 lunches arranged by the company was fairly good, the lunch in the cruise was better. The 2 breakfasts in the hotels were very good, especially the one in Sheraton, Guilin.

2. Guide - Ms. Tian was really good, friendly, helpful, and cooperative and made us feel very much at home. Her English was very good. She gave us privacy whenever we needed. And was also very informative. She seems to know her region really well and that reflects in her job. Overall, we were very satisfied with her.

3. Driver and car - was good. And the trip was made very comfortable and easy with the car service.

4. Hotels - Regarding the hotel, both the choices were good, especially the one in Yangshuo. The hotel room in Sheraton was very small and did not touch the luxury 5 star mark that we had expected.

This was a candid feedback from me and my family about the tour. I would contact you soon regarding 2-3 more tours for the coming months. Thanks again for making it a good experience for us. I can send you some photographs of the tour for your website, if that helps. Let me know.

Regards,

Shaon

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the photo which has come out really well. I'll try to answer your feedback questionnaire the best I can.

1 All the meals were exceptional but the best was certainly the one we had at Xian at the residence of a local lady. She was most hospitable and an excellent cook.

2 The guides were all well informed and articulate. The local guide at Shanghai could have been more friendly and polite.

3 The drivers were all polite and helpful in loading and unloading our bags. The cars were well kept. However, the SUVs with only one rear door (as in Xian and Shanghai) were inconvenient to enter and leave. Would have definitely preferred four door vehicles.

4 The hotels were very well appointed, with spacious rooms (Specially in Xian) and clean with all mod cons. Breakfasts served were of wide range and well cooked. We specially appreciated that the hotels in Beijing and Shanghai were centrally located with the major attractions within walking distance or a short taxi drive away which enabled us to explore the city in our free time.

We haven't printed our photos yet; shall mail them once we do so. Our guides in Beijing, Xian and Chongqing are highly commended for their exceptionally friendly and cooperative behavior. They went out of their way to please us.

Thank you for a memorable vacation. We have recommended you to our friends who are interested in visiting China in the near future.

Warm regards,

Joyeeta Banerji

Hello!

I just wanted to send you an email to thank your for your patience with my many requests over planning this trip.

We had a wonderful time!

Further I would like to compliment you on your use of guides and we all really thought that Sissy in Shanghai and Tina in Beijing did an absolutely fantastic job. They were very friendly, helpful and informative. We could not have asked for better guides!! Further compliments to their respective drivers, Mr. Wu and Mr. Lee who must have nerves of steel to navigate the traffic!

I cannot thank you enough for a very enjoyable holiday with the best possible service and attention received!!

Thanks again
