Hi Lynne & Michael,

Thank you for your e-mail. It was wonderful to meet Lynne.

The arrangements you made for us were exceptional and very professionally arranged.

The group was very impressed with the way our trip to Xian was organised. It was a highlight of our trip to China.

I was very impressed with all of the arrangements you made for us. The Z19 train tickets sent to our hotel on our arrival, our guide, Lily waiting for us when the train arrived, the tours organised to ensure we saw as much as possible in a day and the return to the train for our trip back to Beijing. The lunch was an unexpected highlight of the tour, the food was fantastic. The train was a wonderful experience and very comfortable.

Our guide, Lilly was wonderfully informative about the sights we visited and everyone was very impressed with her communication skills and her high standard of English conversation. Lily certainly made our short trip to Xian a very memorable experience.

I had visited China 30 years ago and I had been to Xian before the terra cotta warriors were revealed to the world. The changes in China since then are unbelievable.

I would have no hesitation in recommending China as a holiday destination and the services of Travel China Guide to people.

Once again, thank you for all of your wonderful efforts to ensure our group had the opportunity to visit Xian in such a short time.

I hope to return to China with my family to visit some of the other places including Shanghai and Guilin.

Best Regards and thanks again

Christine Philip

  Dear Michael,

Thank you for contacting us. Please see some comments below.

The meals were very good and most enjoyable. We wanted to have different eating experiences rather than just eating western food so what was chosen for us was excellent, thank you.

I think the meal that stands out was the "Dumpling Meal" we had after the Tang Dynasty show. The variations and tastes were very good, but we could not stop laughing at the quantities, the dumplings just kept on coming and we felt compelled to try them all ! One comment on this night at the Tang Dynasty show is that in retrospect maybe we should have eaten at the show rather than after the show. The best seats for the show seemed to be reserved for the people who were eating their meal there. The show was also disrupted by waitresses constantly walking around serving food to tables after the show had begun. This was quite annoying !

The drivers were good. We were surprised to see female drivers as not many female drivers are seen in China. They were very good, we had no problems !

The cars were clean, and we were always collected on time!

When we arrived at Xian we were met by Lily and immediately felt comfortable. She made us feel extremely welcome and all arrangements were handled with ease.

She was interesting, informative, well presented, knowledgeable and she was interested in us ! She wanted to know what we wanted from our Xian experience and put things in place for us to get exactly what we wanted to make the visit memorable. We, very much, enjoyed her company, she made the visit very special!
