Testimonial

Dear Elaine,
I would like to thank you, your staff and the guides of China Highlights for making our vacation in China so enjoyable. We had a fabulous time in China. Everything went wonderful. Our flights, hotels, guides and attractions were first class. Our guides were absolutely wonderful. Allen in Beijing was a wonderful introduction to Beijing. He made us feel very welcome and was very knowledgeable. Rainy in Xian was determined to make our stay special. Jenny in Guilin was very entertaining and hospitable. Anna in Hong Kong was very friendly and helpful to us. These guides really made our trip special. We felt that they were very service-oriented and were working hard to make our trip special. All the hotels were excellent. We especially like their locations. We really appreciated the Sofitel in Xian making a room upgrade available to us. That was a real treat. I will absolutely recommend China Highlights to my friends and colleagues. Thank you again for a wonderful trip.

Dear Eva,
Thank you so much! We had a wonderful time in Beijing and we enjoyed some delicious mooncakes on this day!! Definitely Cindy from Xian. She always knew everything (stories, history, shows, etc.) We learned a gret deal with her. Was wonderful to have her as our private tour guide. Excelent work! I could not just pick one: Summer Palace, Great Wall and Terracota soldiers were some of my favorites. Try to walk around the cities as much as you can. Every corner in China is wonderful and different. Being able to see how people really lives is an unvaluable experience. Altough having a tour guide who will take you to the principal spots, you′ll still have time on your own. Use it wisely. The subway is easy and not so crowded as everybody say. I hope I have another chance to comeback to amazing China soon enough.
Regards,
Angeles

Our trip to Dazu was made so special by the truly excellent services of our guide Fiona, she made the day so much more enjoyable with her stories, insight & knowledge - she was the highlight of our trip!! Hope you are well & had a good trip & Labour day holiday.

Hello Michael,
My family and I had a great experience In Beijing and Suzhou with the help of China Highlights! Sandra was a great guide and friend in Beijing. We enjoyed her company and she was very well informed about the great history of China. Tracy was a great resource in Suzhou as well. I'm sorry we were only able to spend one day with her. Thank you for this information and a wonderful trip.
Best regards,

Hi Rebecca,
I just want to let you know that Barbara and I had a wonderful trip here in Xi'an. She left this morning and I am going to Hong Kong this afternoon. The sites were fascinating and Michelle very helpful and knowledgeable. The transport was convenient and comfortable and we enjoyed trying the local food at the lunch restaurants (good thing Michelle was there to translate the menus!)Thanks again for all of your help in planning the trip as well as with my change in flight plans. Michelle confirmed my information again so it should be no problem when I get to the airport today.I hope to make it back to China again in the future since there is much more to see around the country.
Sincerely,
Erika

Rebecca,
I want to let you know my trip to Xi'an was wonderful. Xin is an incredible guide and my visit could not have been better. I had very high goals for seeing so much of Xi'an, and they were all met. In particular, the 2nd day of my visit was one of the best days of my life and Xin was big part of making it so. We started the day by walking in the park to find Tai Chi, and we came upon a Tai Chi master who gave us some lessons (I have some very funny pictures from that!). Then we were off to the terracotta warriors. Xin's explanation of the Qin dynasty and Qin society really helped me appreciate what we were seeing. We spent a long time in the exhibits and Xin was able to answer my many many questions. Next, Xin had arranged for a cooking demonstration and lesson with a local family to cook and eat my favorite dumplings. We had a fantastic time trying to make perfect dumplings and the family was very nice and open to my trying to learn. Next we were off to the Xi'an city wall and we rode bicycles all the way around the top of the wall surrounding the inner city. And lastly, I went to the Tang dynasty dinner show. I was very tired at the end of that day! The other days were just as crowded and fun and Xin was a perfect companion. Her English is very very good and, more importantly, she has very good knowledge of Xi'an sights, history, and culture. She was very flexible and accomodating and every experience could not have been better. Our driver was also very good. I highly recommend Xin for anyone visiting Xi'an! Thank you again for your help to arrange this visit. - Jim

Sunny,
Thank you very much again for organising the tour - we had a great experience and will certainly recommend you to our friends! Kind regards, Ekki The most memorable attraction clearly was the Great Wall. We very much enjoyed the walking tour to really experience the Wall, not just go to one place and take some pictures. We were actually a bit disappointed by the Terracotta army - after having seen so many pictures and specimen in Europe, the real thing gave the impression of a pile of rubble. I don't understand why we are told that all warriors were painted before, but nobody took the effort to take 5 warriors from the factory and paint them in original color. I know this comment is decadent, but that's our honest feedback. JingXin Cen (our guide in Guilin) was clearly the most outstanding guide. She cared so much for us, spending much more time than we could have reasonably expected, to make our trip an unforgettable experience. We felt like visiting a friend rather than being accompanied by a tour guide. Her pleasant personality and excellent language skills added to the excellent impression. Please convey warm regards to her - unfortunately, I don't have her contact details. Everything was up to standard. The Sofitel hotels in Hangchow and Xian were the best (apart from the Hyatts we booked ourselves). The Waterfall Hotel in Guilin was good, but you may want to choose a Western hotel chain for Western tourists. Food was great everywhere, esp. at the restaurants that JingXin took us to (this impression may be influenced by the pleasure of her company though). You may want to recommend the 10km walking tour of the Great Wall from Jinshanling to Simatai if travellers feel fit - really walking through the landscape is much more impressive than just looking at one place. Visitors should be prepared to go up and down and wear good walking shoes though (which we did). It may even be worth proposing spending a night at the hotel in Jinshanling - it looked good from the outside, and then one could spend sunset and sunrise at the Wall and maybe even have enough time to visit the Ming tombs on the way back when leaving early.
Kind regards, Ekki

Dear Mrs. Sunny Xie,
I would like to thank you for the great help your agency gave us to bring us home as quickly as possible.? We arrived in Brussels yesterday evening at 9pm (local time). The funeral ceremonies take place on friday, so we have? time to see the other members of the family and make preparations for friday. We are of course in grief that we have to leave China. We had a wonderfull first week in your country. The program, accomodations, guides: it was all very correct and very good organised. My husband and myself appreciaded very much the help of Norman in Kunming. He was so nice and attentive. It was a great confort in those moments of distress.
Thank you very much!!
Greetings, Marina.

Hello Sunny
Ross and I would like to commend China Highlights on our very enjoyable vacation to China. In particular we would like to comment on the organisation and efficiency with which the vacation tour was organised and executed. We were very impressed with the calibre of the tour guide personnel who met, greeted and accompanied us on our organised visits to the various cities and areas in our tour. They were all very knowledgeable about the regions that they covered and went out of their way to express that as far as they were concerned their area was a beautiful part of China. In particular we would like to commend Xin, our guide in Xi'an, for her personality and friendliness towards us. Her manner was delightful which made our time in her company extremely enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for her and we formed a relationship that was enjoyable, friendly and allowed us all to gain maximum benefit from our time in the Xi'an area. We have no hesitation in recommending your company to our friends, and in fact have done so already. If we travel to China again we will definitely be using China Highlights.
Kind regards Colleen & Ross Madgwick
