Hello Evelyn,
The tour was wonderful, and very informative and ticked all our boxes.
Right from the outset you made it very easy for us with clear English communication, easy payment instructions and prompt responses to any queries or alterations to the tour that we may have had.
It was such a relief to have someone waiting to greet us at each and every airport, which took all the hassle out of landing in a foreign country with language barriers and unfamiliar ways of booking taxis etc.
Sandy, our host in Lijiang, is a kind, gentle person who is well educated and has a wealth of knowledge regarding China's history and is happy to answer any questions and share his knowledge with us. He was extremely patient with us and helped us negotiate any hurdles we may have come across. His own personal stories of his time growing up in China were such an eye opener and we felt privileged that he would share these with us.
There was an issue when booking into our hotel in Lijiang but Sandy handled this expertly for us. The hotel was in a wonderful location and had all the facilities we required. The breakfast was great. The lunches that we had during our stay in Lijiang were wonderful, an abundance of food and a vast array of plates. We were left bulging at the seams following these meals.
The driver who worked with Sandy was another great addition to the tour. He was courteous and a skilled driver, was always there waiting for us and we felt very comfortable & safe with and he fitted in well with our group.
Atn in Shangri-la was also a very skilled tour guide, who had plenty of his own stories to tell. He obviously enjoys meeting new people and is easy to build a relationship with. Atn also ensured our check in was smooth and that we were at our allotted places in good time. It was good to have the same driver as we had with Sandy.
The hotel was good, however the location meant that we weren't within walking distance of anything once our day tour had ended. There was a vast breakfast buffet but not much to entice the westerners unfortunately.
Sophie met us at the airport in Kunming and we basically hit the ground running. Sophie didn't waste time, and had us on and off shuttles with great haste. Our flight out of Kunming was delayed and Sophie was instantly organising additional sights for us to make the most of this extra few hours. She also did an excellent job of having us at the airport on time, checking us in and maintaining contact to ensure we had arrived at the correct departure gate. The hotel was in a good location, however with no air conditioning and rooms set at 27 degrees, it was rather uncomfortable and we would have preferred something a little cooler. Again the lunches were plentiful and tasty.
We would have no hesitation in using your services again, you made the whole process stress free and we are happy to recommend you to any potential travellers.
Thanks again for all your help, Evelyn, you and your company have been amazing.
Regards!

Hi Evelyn,
The 5-days China tour in Beijing and Xian was fantastic and fit our needs perfectly. We are a family of three and this includes 2 teenagers. The tour ran exactly as promised and gave enough time to properly see each site. We never felt rushed. Each tour guide asked what we wanted each day and made each day a great experience. The meals were delicious and ordered for our specific dietary needs. The drivers arrived on time and were very polite.

Hello Evelyn,
I loved the trip! It was foggy so I couldn't see many mountains for the majority of Day 2 and 3 but I still enjoyed it. Day 4 was excellent at the Grand Canyon. Abbie was so kind, friendly and informative the whole time, she made the trip even better. The driver (I can't remember his name) was safe and always on time.
Regards!

Hi Evelyn,
The weather of Jiuzhaigou was great. Not sunny, but slight sun, experience a little light snow on Long Lake, and beautiful masterpiece of creation in JZG. Huanglong was wonderful too. Nice weather. Even with the cable car, we walked a total of 16000 steps. Unforgettable 2 days
Century Oasis - it's new and we were given 3rd Level, but only dine in one restaurant. Still it's good. Allan, the Cruise manager took good care of us as we were the only few that requires English guides.
The Fengyansanguo show is super n spectacular. Very glad to have seen it. Thanks.

Dear Evelyn,
We are having a wonderful time onboard the ship. Even though the ship is delayed for one day due to weather, the cruise company managed it so well that we're able to complete the original itinerary. That's a great achievement.
The staff onboard are excellent, I think it's a 6-star service.
All the best and God bless you.
Yes, the tour to Qu Yuan's hometown is a wonderful surprise for my wife especially and myself, it's like a bonus :-)
Hope you have a nice day.
