Testimonial

Dear Virginia

We have just arrived home and our Beijing trip is still fresh in our mind. We were so pleased that everything went perfectly to plan. We were very  happy to see the China Highlight sign  with our names on it when we emerged to the baggage claim area at Tianjin port. Our guide Sue was so helpful and within minutes we had our luggage packed away in the car and were heading for Beijing before 9 a.m.!! It was a very chaotic place,and we were pleased to see the lovely car and driver.

We would probably have gone home after one day if we had not booked your tour.! The different sites that we covered were a long way apart and with no local knowledge or language we could not have seen all the attractions!. Our highlights were numerous; The Great Wall ; the acrobatic show; the Summer Palace;Tiannamen Square during the Anniverary celebrations; Pandas at the zoo;Olympic venues; Hutong tours.

Our guide Sue was a very knowledgable young lady with a great sense of humour,and the driver who although he did not speak English was very helpful and good hearted.

We would be very pleased to recommend your company to friends or acquaintances and we will travel with you again when we come back to China.

Hotel staff were helpful and courteous and the only fault we had there was the air conditioner in the room. It did not  cool the room ,and we reported that fact. We were told that it had been fixed,but it still did not reduce the temperature. The fan worked well, but it was just a fan; no reduction in temperature. Fortunately the weather was very pleasant and only during the night it was very warm.

We would like to give permission for our email address to be available for potential customers,and we will share some photographs with you when they become available.

We met several other couples onboard the Diamond Princess who had booked tours with your company and all were very happy with the services provided!

Congratulation to all concerned on a job well done.

Yours sincerely

Hi Michael,

I think the Mutianyu Great wall, Sacred Way, Lingyin Temple are the most memorable attraction we visited.

John in Beijing is our best tour guide. He was efficient, very knowledgeable, friendly and professional.  He was the perfect tour guide.  John's service was very impressive, the convenience of all the hotels to main shopping and attractions,  and having the convenience of the 'private tour'.  Also, the treasure houses and the the art in all the various temples we went to, along with the knowledge of the tour guides. Having the bottled water was a nice touch.  Sam in Hong Kong was also very good for our one day.  The driver in Beijing (Mr. Ma) was also excellent.

Beijing: Sunworld Hotel was clean and very convenient. The buffets were very good.  The meals on the tour were fine. We enjoyed the last restaurant in Beijing the best (don't know the name of it).  John was excellent in ensuring we obtained our meals quickly by pre-ordering, and always ensure our meals arrived and we were well set up before he left to eat.

Hangzhou: The Hotel in Hangzhou did not meet our standards - we had to ask to be moved due to excessive noise from outside, and the only room available was a smoking room (we requested non smoking). It was also not as clean as we would have liked.  The buffet was okay, very crowded and unfortunately not very sanitary (our noodles had mold on them one day). We did not enjoy our meals very much in Hangzhou - the taste did not meet our tastebuds, and the service was slow.

Hong Kong: YMCA in Hong Kong was very clean and convenient, the buffet was good. No noise issues despite the construction.  We ate meals on our own.

We really enjoyed our cooking class at the Jingsong Vocational High school - it was something different and unexpected.  The silk market in Beijing is also great. In Hong Kong - Ladies market, Ocean Park and Flower street are fun places to go.  Doing the one day tour of Hong Kong is a great way to get to know the city and give you ideas on places to go later on in your trip.

Again, thanks for such a great trip.

Best regards.

Dear Karen,

Thanks for your organization of our (mine and of my collegue Gennaro)visit to Tibet.  It was perfect, with a very good guide Ms. Wueshe. The travel in Tibet was very satisfying.  Both the Tibet in general and the Mt. Everest Camp were really impressive. We did not experience particular difficulties. We had only some problem in breathing but nothing else. Note that going there we passed a mountain pass at an altitude of 5240 mt.

Now i am planing anther tour to Sanya, would you please give me a general idea? Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi,Caorl,

We are having a wonderful time touring with Harry. He has given us excellent service and we feel that we would like to recommend him to others. Thank you for assigning him to us.
His knowledge of history is good, he knows what interests us because he listens carefully to our questions. When he has any trouble with pronunciations in English, he asks us to correct him. That is a very good characteristic in a guide. Thank you again, China Highlights.

Hi Karen

The trip was great and all arrangements were perfect.  Thanks.

 Please let your administration know that Echo in Xian went out of her way to locate a package I had left on the small bus from the airplane to the terminal building.  She found it and it was delivered to us when we left Xian on Thursday evening. 

I am sorry that we did not see the Pandas – we did not realize that Chengdu was so close.  People we met on the boat said they are a 2 hour train ride away – pity.

Thanks

Hi Eva,

Thank you for the amazing trip I had in China; I am already looking forward to coming back again in the future and as soon as I can afford to come!I talked my credit problem over with the company and they are going to be crediting me almost half of the money they charged back to me which is a very good thing!

My most memorable time was the time I spent in Guilin, no one single thing but rather the entire 3 days I spent here!Guilin is tied for my favorite places with Honolulu Hawaii. Claire (Wei Mei Ping) she was absolutely amazing!! I had such a great time talking and hanging out with her.With all the other tour guides it was they were the tour guide and me the tourist more and with Claire she became my friend and had a great time showing me sights.We will be staying in touch now too. My favorite hotels were the Guiling Bravo Hotel and Sunworld Hotel in Beijing.Both of these hotels were different than the other but both had amazing service and provided a great experience.The bike tour in Yangshou was great, you get to see the country side and the real side of chinese culture away from the cities.The local farmers were very friendly and obliging to stop their work and chat. I have already recommended China Highlights to all my friends and told them they should all visit china and that your tour company did an amazing job. Some suggestions for future travellers would be to pack lighter because they will have a lot of gifts to bring home, definitely take the bike tour in Yangshou and to watch the Karate Show in Beijing.

Thanks again for everything Eva!  I had a fantastic time and I cant wait until I can come back again.Take care,

Kurt

Hi Eva,

it's nice to hear from you again. I should say it was a pleasure meeting you in Guilin. And thanks again for the Moon cake, that we tried during the flight to Hangzhou.

Our overall evaluation for the trip and your services is VERY GOOD. We have been very impresed by your capacity to organize such move of people around your country with efectiveness, good work and filling expectations. Good job.

Anyway, I'm going for sure to recommend your company to my friends travelling to China.

Finally, I'm also attaching the photos taken when we were in your office. Let me know if you want some clarifications  more photos taken during my trip.

Best regards and thanks for all your help to make this an unforgeteable trip.

Dear Eva,

The Panda Breeding Center was the most memorable attraction I visited. May, she was the only guide we had. Very personable, very knowledgeable and she took good care of us. The hotel was fine, they had remodeling going on, however, we were out most of that time. The meals were okay, we expected more spicy food in Sichuan though.

The Panda Breeding Center's Intern program was very cool. Even though we were cleaning out the cages and feeding the sick and healthy animals. It was an incredible experience. Also, meeting Ramona at the park, she was very knowledgeable and explained every aspect of the Panda's life. My wife, being a science teacher, really enjoyed that aspect of the internship. The Sichuan Opera was a fantastic evening show, the variety and the skill were unlike other entertainment I have seen in China. Also, very cool. Here are 12 pictures that I hope you enjoy.

Thank you and take care,

Dave

Sorry that I didn’t let you know our comments of the trip.

Everything came out very well with reference to Hotels, tour guides and cars. It was according to our expectations and price paid.

However we can’t say the same about lunches and restaurants which in our opinion were way below if compared with hotels selected. You have a lot to improve in this aspect.

Best regards

Jose

Dear Delia,

Thank you for being so accommodating to my inquiry. Hope we could have the chance of meeting you in person.

I think the GREATWALL OF CHINA is the most memorable part of my trip, and Cathy & Katy provided us with many helpful information about Beijing so it would make us familiarize with the place.

Sunworld Hotel is fine and the breakfast food choice are good, I suggest other tourists to make their trip relaxing by staying longer in a place they visit, so they can appreciate everything they experience.

The good service and prompt on time is the WOW factor in our tour, I will definetely recommend your company to my friends and colleagues!

With best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Wilbert
