Hello,

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to respond to your request.

We absolutely loved our China trip. Travel China Guide was amazing. The itinerary was comprehensive and I would not have traded any of the destinations.

MEALS: All of the meals were very good. Especially in Xian! Meals in Beijing was least favorite. Always way too much food, but excellent.

GUIDES:

Joli, who was our guide in Xian, we felt was exceptional. She was extremely knowledgeable about the history (of which there is a long one in Xian). She was very friendly and has a great personality. Her English is impeccable. We had a great time with her!

Jing Jing was our guide in Guilin and we loved her as well. She was so charming and pleasant. Jing Jing celebrated Cheryl's birthday with us by having a birthday cake sent to the hotel (Thanks Travel China Guide for this too) and we had a great conversation. Relaxed and comfortable. I will always remember this.

Shirley was the guide in Yichang and although we were only there overnight, she is very memorable for her warm and engaging personality. Also, for helping us with our banking there!

CARS: The drivers and the cars were great. All of them. The cars were clean, and we always had bottled water. The drivers were very friendly and accomodating. They were excellent drivers.

Overall, I could not imagine a better experience in traveling. The two of us chose to tour China privately with an English speaking guide. We've been on group tours; cruises; and independently, but this was by far the most amazing way to travel. When we travel with other English speaking people we all end up talking to each other about our lives, etc. While this is enjoyable, I realized this time that traveling alone together left us with much more of an "emersion experience" into the culture, cuisine, language and landscape of the country. It was phenomenal in every way.

I would absolutely recommend Travel China Guide. I am an obsessive researcher and after many options we considered I am glad we chose this one. I anyone is looking for the most authentic way to travel in a country in just 2 weeks, this is it!

The next time we travel to China I will go with Travel China Guide. I have highly recommended it to all my friends who travel! Thank you Travel China Guide for a memorable China trip.
