Hello,

The tour and the guide was, without exception, great.

First of all, the guide was excellent - personable, helpful, accessible.  The van driver was also uniformly pleasant and professional.

We thought the food in each of the restaurants on the tour was superb.

The hotel was just great - all we could have expected; and the breakfasts were excellent.

We appreciated the flexibility of your organization - e.g. when our plane arrived very, very late one night, we were able to start a little later the next morning.

Thank you very much for a very valuable and enjoyable experience.

Hi Bree,

Hi Bree,

Well, we finally arrived home after spending some 19 hours in airplanes and airport terminals, exhausted but completely delighted with our trip of Beijing. We were in Beijing for five days and thanks to you, we had a great experience. As you know, my wife is in a wheel chair and needs accessible facilities which were not always conveniently located but somehow you was always able to find a way for us to overcome every obstacle. We thought you was very knowledgeable, communicated well with us and was the most helpful guide you could possibly have. Our driver was always on time, very courteous and always helped the ladies in and out of the vehicle. Our hotel, Holiday Inn Central Plaza was a great choice for us. The staff and facilities were superb.

Many thanks to you and your organization for our wonderful Beijing travel and thanks for your outstanding efforts to make our trip one that we will never forget. We would definitely recommend you and your organization to anyone needing a tour in China.

Hello!!

Sorry for the late answer but I was traveling a lot in January.

We have returned from our trip to China. We had a wonderful time. Because we booked through you, our trip was completely wonderful. We plan to come again and will use you again.

Bree, our tour guide, was excellent. We really enjoyed her and will recommend her to our friends. I would like to express our deepest appreciation for the tremendous service and personal joy that we received from her. This is our first trip to Beijing and we feel very fortunate to have had her as our hostess and guide. With the partnership of our driver Mr. Wong, very nice and professional, our trip was beyond our expectation.

We will remember our fantastic sights, wonderful foods, memorable scenery and most of all, the true Chinese hospitality provided by Linda and Mr. Wong. We will tell all of our friend about them and recommend you.

Sincerely

Darleen and Lee

Dear Bree,

We have returned home after our wonderful 15 day tour of China. My cousin, Teresa Manduca, has responded to you, but I do want to add my comments on what an excellent web you have.

I must admit, having been on another tour some years ago but in a completely different country, I was not expecting to have the very high quality of service the web provided, especially given that the price was very reasonable. To begin with, your guides are absolutely wonderful - their knowledge of China's history and their ability to explain to us - the foreigners - in our own language, made everything crystal clear. (We felt very stupid by comparison - it shames us to have just one language and has spurred us to consider signing up for a course in Mandarin now that we are home.) Secondly, we were so relieved to have help both getting to and from airports, through check-in points. Your van drivers were terrific, all of them. Finally, the meals - well, all we can say about the meals is that the food was excellent, even though for us the portions were gigantic. Wish we could have brought Care packages home with us!

Thank you once again for giving us just the best experience of your wonderful country and its amazing, brilliant people. We will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know who might be considering a trip to the East.

With great regard and many thanks!

Hi,
Bree

Thank you for everything. We enjoyed our time very much!

Our guide Weiwei was GREAT! Her Russian was perfect! She was easy going and always willing to answer any and all of our questions. She provided a great deal of history and detail on the customs, the culture, and the society of China both from an historical as well as a modern perspective. Sara met us at the airport, came into the hotel and stood with us while we registered. When we were dropped off at the airport for our return flight home,  Weiwei came into the terminal with us, made sure we found our airline check in and stood on line with us until our bags were checked in and our seat assignments provided. She stayed with us until we had to pass through security. We were so pleased with her skills and her attitude, and her warmth!

We were very pleased with the service of the driver Mr. Liu and the condition of his car. He always managed to find a parking space up close to whatever entrance we were at; he met us promptly when we were scheduled to meet up. He and  Weiwei always held the car doors open for us; we were treated very well!

We stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel. It was great! Room was very comfortable and spacious. The hotel staff all spoke English. No issues. Again... breakfast was wonderful!

I would be happy to receive emails from anyone curious about your services. At times it seemed like the package you offer is too good to be true! In this case you far exceeded all my expectations.

I will certainly recommend your service to anyone who asks and would use your company again the next time I travel to China.


Sincerely,

Jim Wahler
