Dear Michael,

I returned home a bit tired, but full of beautiful memories, after a long journey, 41 days out of home, of them 34 days in China. You prepared for me a most enjoyable 29 days China tour beginning in Beijing, through Pingyao, Xian, Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou, Hangzhou and ending in Shanghai.

This was my fifth China trip, so I had clear idea of what I wanted to see. With your input we designed a trip with great detail after a month of e-mails back and forward that you studied and replied with great patience that I appreciate. The program was very intensive, using up almost all the available day time, with focus on cultural, historical, nature sights and activities.

My previous China trip was also organized by you, so I already knew of your good service, but now I can recommend TravelChinaGuide as excellent. My wife and I want to thank you for this wonderful tour, and we will be looking forward to our return to China in the future, as there are many other sights and experiences to enjoy.

Very truly yours,

Dear Frieda,

A belated thank you for your excellent arrangements on our recent China trip. Everything worked efficiently and the guides and drivers were always waiting for us at the airports. We were particularly impressed the way you handled the last minute changes when our outgoing flight was cancelled.We were very happy to be a group of 2 and were able to do everything at our own speed.

With the benefit of hindsight we would have done a few things differently. We should have used the hotel you originally suggested in Shanghai. Although the Peace Hotel has an excellent location it is old and worn out and the staff do not seem happy in their work Also we would have given Chongqing a miss and gone directly to Guilin from the boat.

The choice of a suite rather than the cabin was well worth the extra cost particularly as Don was a little unwell one day and he was able to rest quietly.

We enjoyed Guilin very much and our free time in Yangshou. The guide there Jesse was excellent - his English was probably the best of all the guides we used - although all of them had a good command of the language, and he was particularly helpful. This was absolutely stunning - Guilin was one of the highlights of the holiday.

The girl guides we had were all charming and friendly and we talked to them about all sorts of things - life in China and in England.

We were pleased to meet you in Xian and enjoyed the dumpling banquet.We would certainly recommend TravelChinaGuide without reserve.
