Flora Cu / Eileen Wang:
I am writing to let you know how much we enjoyed our China tour in May......... We took the deluxe 14 day tour starting in Hong Kong... Guilin, Yangshuo.... Xian..... Shanghai and Beijing........
Our tour guides were courteous, pleasant and knowledgeable............ since we had a tour bus to ourselves, they were willing to adapt the tour to our requests...... The bus was spacious, air conditioned and very clean...... Each person was given 2 large bottles of water each day as we started on our tours...... Had we not had the tour guides, we would have missed some very important historical and fascinating places to visit...
All the events planned for us.... from the Peking duck dinner and opera to the acrobatic show were highly entertaining....... we especially enjoyed the river Li cruise...... with its picturesque and lush hills, bamboo trees and vegetation...... people working in the rice fields and the water buffalo......... all should be in the National Geographic Magazine....
The weather cooperated every day making the tours that much more enjoyable.......
The Terracotta soldiers, the great wall of China, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City were fascinating...... such a trip into history !!
Our accomodations were in five star hotels........ luxurious hotels with all the amenities of home...... most of them within a short distance to the sights that we wanted to see...
Our only complaint was that there was too much food......... the restaurants chosen by the tour company had some of the best Chinese cuisine but there was too much food for us !!!! We had to cancel some of the dishes...... the only thing that we would have enjoyed during the trip is a western meal once in a while otherwise,............. the tour far exceeded our expectations and we enjoyed China much more than we had anticipated.......
We would certainly recommend your tour to all our friends and anyone hoping to visit China in the near future........ Booking this tour with your company took all anxiety away as everything was well planned from the tour guides picking us up at the airport to their taking us back to the airport at the end of the trip and making sure that we were checked in and knew where to go.......
Again, Thank you very much for a delightful 2 weeks in China........ Dennis and Rose Giesbrecht [ and family ]
