The meals were really tasty and various so that we could taste lots of different flavours. Nice experience! Regarding the beverages, it should be clearly mentioned -before booking- that the cruise company suggests extra one or two packages of beverages, otherwise it is only allowed to drink water, tea or coffee and a glass of soft drink at every meal... which is quite poor.

My favorite dish was actually the fish fillet, which was be deep-fried on reverse and served in a sour-sweer sauce.

Thanks a lot for organizing one French-speaking guide for me, that was a very good surprise! Though he pretended not having travelled so far to France or any French-speaking country, his skills were very good.

Both of the guides/managers who were in charge of the foreign tourists used to speak English fluently. Besides they translated the comments for us while passing through the Yangzi gorges, it was very helpful.

The car in Yichang was kept clean, the driver was discrete while the guide was talking to me.

I will be glad if you do publish my comments, but please do not let show my e-mail address because I will never have time to write back to your potential clients.

Please give some more time to sort my pictures, then I will come back to you. Thank you in advance.

Hereunder is what our clients wrote to us:

Because we found you on the internet we were a little suspicious about the company - but when we got off the plane and Michael was right there holding a sign with our name on it we were thrilled.

Michael was responsive to our needs and attentive - the only reason we give him a "good" rating rather than excellent is because Shanghai is the first city were visiting and we have nothing to compare to - he is Great!

There was one place I wish we could have had more time at - the Shanghai Museum. We only had an hour and we could have easily spent 1.5-2 hours. We were disappointed we couldn't walk in the Bund (due to construction) but we drove through so that was as good a substitute as you could get.

We were grateful for all the help with getting on train and ordering in restaurants - we would have been anxious otherwise.

Janet in Suzhou was EXCELLENT! Her stories and historical explanations enlivened our visit the Tiger Hill and both gardens. Because we're not shoppers we toured more quickly than anticipated, so Janet suggested other thing to do and we are very satisfied with our visit.

All drivers were GREAT! Not having to worry about directions or parking made our touring fast and efficient.

The food was excellent - particularly lunch at a private room at the Golden River View Hotel and dinner at the Central Hotel. Acrobatic show was our kid's favorite thing.

JC Mandarin hotel was "five stars" all the way. The breakfast buffet was superlative - the room was GREAT!

Thank you!
