Hi Maggie and Ruby:
Thank-you so much for the excellent service you provided in helping to set up our trip. You were extremely helpful and it was really appreciated that you helped to book some extra days for us at the beginning and end of our tour at the TravelChinaGuide hotels in Beijing and Shanghai.
Yes, we had an amazing time on the tour.... Everything was fantastic and I can't think of anything that I would have changed. The food was excellent - every meal - and all of our guides were engaging, excellent English speakers, and very knowledgable about the cultural spots we visited. Daniel, Echo, Rebecca and Amy - all kind and generous people! Rebecca went out of her way to ensure that we had a good time in Yangshuo by arranging for us to see an amazing show on the water that was not part of the tour - we were really thankful to her for taking the time to do that. Also in Yangshuo, I was surprised with a birthday cake at our evening meal and that was a great way to end a memorable day there. Thank-you to TravelChinaGuide for the thoughtfulness of that gesture.
One spot we ended up seeing in Shanghai on our own after the tour was the Jade Buddha Temple - because it is such a tranquil, beautiful place I would recommend that it be included in the Shanghai itinerary....it probably is on the longer tours but I think there would be time for groups to visit it even when there is only 1.5-2 days in the city.
We were so impressed with the professionalism of your company and the guides (and the drivers of course) and the amazing value for money that we have recommended this tour to family and friends. And yes, the buses and hotels used by TravelChinaGuide were clean and comfortable.
Thank-you again for a memorable glimpse of your breathtaking country.

With much gratitude, Amelia
