Testimonial

Dear Ms. Qin: Back home from our trip to China, I feel that you should be one of the first persons with whom I should share our impressions about it. We know that we can add little to the many who praised the beautiful landscapes of China, its exciting historical landmarks, and the friendliness of the people. We wish to focus on our very individual experience. We confess, apologetically by now, that we were intimidated about making travel arrangements by Internet for our complex itinerary, at a very short notice, and we were anxious to see if your advice fitted our expectations. Now I can conclude wholehearted that everything turned out very well. Your assistance was most professional and the arrangements (timetable, flight arrangements, tours, and hotels) were most reliable; if anything, occasionally, they were even above our expectations. Please also accept our personal thanks to all the people from CITS, car drivers and tour guides, who assisted us during our trip. We plan to be back in China. Haya and Ionel Rosenthal

Thank you very much for taking care of our Li-river cruise tour in Guilin. That was great experience for Mom and me. We really enjoyed picturesque scenery there. The tour was well organized. Also the Chinese lunch was very good. It was much better than I expected. I think, for many foreign tourists, Li-river cruise in Guilin is one of the highlights of travel in China. Thank you all of your help to make my trip enjoyable. And I appreciate that I could make reservation in advance using Internet. That was very convenient for me to plan my trip. I hope that I can visit Guilin someday in future again.

Thank you once again for making our visit to Guilin so enjoyable. We very much enjoyed your company in a beautiful city with so many kind and friendly people. May you always be happy. Len & Teresa Algar

Thanks for the beautiful picture. This reminds me of the beautiful country that you have and all the nice things that we can remember of Guilin, we even met an Indonesian woman who was from the same region with us in Indonesia who now lives in Gui Lin. I will certainly recommend you to our friends & relatives who are planning to go to Gui Lin.

Thank you again for all of your hard work (& overtime). We had a great time. Overall, your package provided tremendous coverage of the most important sights across all the cities we visited, including Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai. Highlights: We were especially pleased with the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City. All of these were truly remarkable, and a 'must see' for anyone venturing into these cities. The Great Wall is indescribable and awe-inspiring. The Summer Palace was a beautiful site, yet the fog hid a lot. The painted corridor (longest in the world) was amazing, with painstaking detail in the artwork. The Forbidden City was a masterpiece. Lunches & Dinners were very nice, with a good balance of different, regional cuisine. Too much food for two! Xi'an was our favorite. The Bell & Drum Towers in the heart of town, along with our visit to the (Large) Wild Goose Pagoda was memorable. The Stone Steles museum marked a time in history that we feel guilty about our own ignorance. The old district & the Wall surrounding the district, was 'Great' in its own right. Obviously, the highlight was the Terra-cotta Warriors, which we can only say that words do not do this sight justice. One must visit to understand the magnitude of this world treasure. Again, our guide Wan, was a treasure as well. She spoke English very well, and we felt she was truly interested in a cultural exchange. I found this surprising, as the guides deal with so many tourists everyday. She deserves a raise! Shanghai was amazing, largely due to the amount of growth in such a short timeframe. The quality of buildings and sights were astounding. The Yu Yuan Garden was spectacular, and makes one very envious of those who enjoyed this on a daily basis. It's unfortunate it was not completed before the Emperor's Parent's passing. The Children's Palace is something that China should be very proud of. The U.S. and other countries can learn a lot from programs such as this. The kids were a delight, and you could see the sparkle of light in there eyes. They loved what they were doing, and are off to a great start in helping make this world a better place. The Shanghai Museum was a wonder, and we could have easily spent all day there. We successfully negotiated an additional hour or so, but missed a large part of the 1st floor (the Bronze Age). Recommend Tourists begin on this floor, and work their way up. Visiting Beijing during the 50th Anniversary was a 'mixed blessing'. The city was decorated in all of its glory, yet travel in car was very difficult. I would not recommend travel during this time. We spent the majority of time on our second (last) day in the car, rather than seeing the sights. We did not get to see Tian a men (spelling?) Square due to being stuck in the car for almost 3 hours!

When we prepared our journey in the provinces of YUNNAN, GHUIZOU and GUANGXI, we tried to have contacts by e-mail with different travel agencies in the region. It is important to know that my wife and myself have not traveled in group; we like to adapt our vacation journeys on our own feelings and canters of interest. We received only a few answers on our requests for information. It seems that the majority of the travel agencies are not interested in travelers who do not want to travel in group. From the beginning, we had very good contacts, by e-mail, with the GUILIN CITS. Our contact person at GUILIN CITS took our remarks in consideration and did also very good proposals when our requests were not realistic. Our trip in the three Southern provinces was a very exciting experience. Nearly all the local guides were very good and some of them really excellent. As we trailed already before in different other countries of South East Asia, we were very surprised by the quality of the lodging, even in small cities. We had the opportunity to see different ethnic minorities, nice cities as LIJANG, the very nice drum towers and wind and rain bridges of the DONG people in Sanjiang and wonderful landscapes as the rice terraces in Longsheng and the rive LI. In short, we are very satisfied about the service that was offered and, we really believe that we had value for money. So, we can recommend to everybody to make use of the services of the GUILIN CITS, even for journeys in provinces other than GUANGXI.

Hello, On behalf of myself and my members, we would like to envoy our warmest appreciation to you and Mr. Victor Shu, who made our trip to Beijing so enjoyable, and to Mr. Lie Jie Sheng, CITS local guide whose explanation and knowledge illuminate us. He is the best guide we had ever met in China. Thank you for your help. Should you thinking of visiting Bali please do not hesitate to contact me, and I will do my best to assist you. See you.

Dear Rachel, Thank you for all your help arranging our tour back to China. We enjoyed the service that you provided over the Internet and we enjoyed the tour and service even more. Sincerely Jeanne Tran

Dear Victor & Christine, Thank you for your info and fast response. Your service is excellent and we thank you for your help. Sincerely, Susanna & Michelle Willis

To whom it may concern We are sending this note to express our sincere thanks to one of your tour guides, "Julia"(Zhu li Ya) who looked after us last December. We only had two days to spend in Guilin as part of our holiday in China in early December, last year. Julia went out of her way to make sure that we had a wonderful time and saw as much as possible of your beautiful Guilin area. She is a great ambassador for your company, province and country. May we, once again, thank you for a memorable holiday. Kind regards, Phil Waite and Colin Pearshouse
