    Trip all went well. Picked up our tickets at Kowloon West the day before our trip to Guangzhou. Business Class was very comfortable. Interesting scenery on the way. Train speed got up to 300kph. From Guangzhou South we navigated our way into town on the metro system.

    My experience booking through a travel associate and with your company was excellent. Everything from booking the trips, to the instructions for ticket pick-up was very satisfying and exactly as directed. As to the journey, they were exceptional. The rail system is one of the best in the world and these trips exemplified that lofty position.. Overall, my/our experience was excellent!! I cannot say more. We will definitely book again using your service.
