Wonder Wang - Our Professional China Travel Consultant

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for your email. We are back home now after our three weeks tour to S. Korea and China, in which the Yangtze River cruise was a key part of the trip.

I have to tell you we enjoyed the cruise very much. Everything was as what we expected. And thanks for your help for not only booking the cruise for us but also answered all the questions we had...which helped us a lot in preparations.

The Century Oasis was a very nice river cruise ship and the people are professional. The room was very nice and food was very good. We were arranged with other English speaking people as a small group for local excursions which is a great experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this cruise.

We are planning more sightseeing trips to China such as Chengdu, Chongqing, Xinjiang, etc. We hope your company can help us for the arrangements in the future.

As 2024 is quickly drawing to close, we wish you all the best for the new year.

Yours sincerely,

Andy

Hello Mr Wang,

We’re back in Singapore. It was a wonderful holiday and experience. Thank you for the well planned itinerary. I must say Mr Waldner is truly an amazing guide. His knowledge and enthusiasm made our tour very memorable. We enjoyed every moment. We’ve learned so much about the history of Xian. Thank you again to Waldner and the driver Mr Wen for showing us around. They make a very great team together!

Best regards

Kirstie

Dear Wonder,

Thank you so very much for the kind presents. We enjoyed our day very much.

Helen

Hi Wonder,

How are you? I hope you well.

We have returned to Melbourne a few days ago. Thank you for organising the Yunnan and Yangtze Rover Cruise. We had a great time.

To recap our previous communications on my family’s visit to Beijing and train transfer to Shanghai, I shall come back to you on the dates of our travel and tour.

Kind regards

Ken

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for all the arrangements for the trip, it has been great! Noticed that you have meticulously planned even to the seating spot in the train, appreciate that.

Thanks and regards,

Gina

Dear Wonder,

we had a fantastic cruise. The ship was super modern, cruising was very smooth due to the electric engine. The crew was very friendly and nice - Cruise manager Alan welcomed us on board and helped us with any question we had. Food on board was delicious and the excursions were nice. So all in all it was a great experience and I would recommend anybody to do such a cruise.

Thank you also very much for a smooth and easy booking process.

Kind regards,

Christian

Hello Reya,

After the Xi’an tour, my wife and I had to visit four other cities in China. Hence, I could not reply sooner. We only returned to the US a few days ago.

I am going to be brief in what I write below. If you believe that I more detailed response could be useful for China Discovery, then please understand that it will take me a while before I can find time to do so as I have a lot of work to do after returning from a long trip.

Mr. Waldner Zhang is a good guide. (Please pass him my regards if you have a chance.) He excuted his duties with enthusiasm. A big challenge that he faces – and other tour guides face, for that matter – is that there are very huge crowds at many tour sites in China. That renders the job of the guides tremendously difficult. By the way, on Day 1 of the Xi’an tour there was supposedly an opportunity for me and my wife to put on ‘hanfu’ for pictures. We told Waldner that we were not interested. (On a couple of occasions, he went out of his way to try to help us with our SIM cards as we struggled to get our phones to use China’s digital payment system. I commend him for his effort, even though he confessed to us that he’s not very ‘tech savvy’.)

Again, I am happy to share more thoughts after I can catch up with my work, although that is going to take a while.

Best,

Peter

Hi Wonder,

We had just finished our Huangshan 4d/3n tour.

We enjoyed the tour very much.

A bit tired but we are well.

Looked after by our tour guide, jack.

We recommwnded him.

We will book your company again with our next china tour.

Patrick

Hi Wonder Wang,

I am back to Malaysia since last weekend; My family had such a wonderful time in China. Thank you very much for the well organised tour to Hangzhou and Suzhou. Although we stayed on in Shanghai for several days after the tour organised by you and had indeed also enjoyed our stay in Shanghai, the trip to Hangzhou and Suzhou was memorable. We are happy with the tour guides and drivers who attended to us. I would like to specially mention our tour guide at Hangzhou, Eleven. He was very attentive and caring and went out of his way to ensure our short stay at Hangzhou was special. Please convey my family's gratitude and well wishes to Eleven.

Should I plan to travel to China for holidays in future, I will contact you. Michael Lo, from whom I got your contact and for whom you organised our trip to Tibet in 2016, is planning for a trip for a group of friends to China next year and would likely be contacting you. I am looking forward to that. Meanwhile thank you once again.

Kind regards

Michael Denis Tan

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for the great arrangement for our recent Kunming-Lijiang-Shangri-La trip. Hotel selection was perfect for us!

Do you have Harbin Ice festival package? Dates about Feb 11-16. Please include flight from Beijing.

Thank you.

Zalina

Hi Wonder,

The trip was great! Everything was as we expected.

Thank you again for everything.

Frank

Dear Wonder,

We had a nice time and enjoyed our Henan tour.

We are very happy to have you and your company to help us to organize our Henan tour.

You were helpful and your response was very fast when we were corresponding through email to arrange the tour.

The tour arrangement was good and your tour guide was knowledgeable. You had a careful driver and his van transporting us was clean and new.

We would highly recommend your company to others for tours in China.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your good work in helping us to organize a wonderful Henan tour.

Warmest regards,

George

Hi Wonder,

Yes, you responded swiftly and clear. Both drivers pick up and drop off were good. Our guide, Gavin was a very good guide, and driver, he's attentive, knows history well, kind and well organized. We're very happy with him. Hotels Holiday Inn Express were OK, they served good breakfast. Location might be a bit stranded but perhaps chosen because most our trips are outskirts and not inner city.

Vivi

Hi Wonder,

Yes! The suzhou & hangzhou tour are fantastic. I will prepare the review soon when I return to Singapore tomorrow.

Shirley

Hi Wonder,

Very lucky whole journey no rain at all...The weather was good...So we can enjoy amazing view.

Stevany

Good Morning Wonder,

We are at the lunge waiting for our flight to Tokyo via Hangzhou. Just let you know. Please thanks Mary again for us. She is the best Guide that we had ever had traveling through 82 countries. We were/are so touched by her communication skills, her caring thoughts, her quick understanding, most of all her humanity. We were very lucky to have met her. For that we are grateful to the arrangement you made. She is a trust worthy human being. We had a satisfied journey.

Glenn

Hi Wonder

Thanks for the souvenir. We had a good time at Mt Emei, Robert has taken good care of us.

Take care!

Cheers

SukHang

Hi Wonder,

We all have an enjoyable trip. We are now exploring other places to go in China and is considering Xinjiang. Do you have any recommendations on the itinerary and advice when is the best time to visit?

Lim

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Our Yunnan trip was spectacular! Good mix of nature and ancient Tibetan, Hani and Naxi cultures – we enjoyed it very much!

With regards,

Richard.

Hi Wonder,

Thank you for your arrangement. We all had a good time. I will give you some feedback after I return to Hong Kong.

Tks again!

Yeung

Hello Wonder,

I am so sorry for the delay in response. I got home four days ago and only now had the energy to reply. Yes, you are welcomed to publish my evaluation and pictures. I will send the pictures separately.

I went on a four day tour of Yucha Grand Canyon and Hukou Waterfall arranged by China Discovery. My travel consultant was Wonder Wang. I was totally impressed with the response time, the efficiency with which the trip was arranged, and the quality of accommodations along the way. The company provided a very spacious van, which made the road trip very comfortable. The driver was very good at navigating through traffic, construction, and crowds. Last but certainly not least, I had the most wonderful guide, Bruce. He was very fluent in English, probably one of the best guides I’ve had in China. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geography of the area. He was very enthusiastic about educating me on the historical significance of each place we visited. Most importantly, he was flexible and allowed me to make small changes to the itinerary. I learnt a lot from him and now I am eager to perhaps go on another tour with China Discovery. Thank you, Wonder and Bruce!

Best regards,

Emily

Hi, Wonder,

Thank you for your wonderful itinerary to the Silk Road. Our group really enjoyed the trip, the nice hotels and all the helpful and knowledgeable tour guides. And of course we are also thankful for your prompt response and recommendations. In fact, we are now thinking of engaging your service for our next trip to China. We plan to travel to China next year, but we do not have any particular place in mind that we like to visit, can you recommend some itineraries (may be 2 or 3) that run for 9 days for us.

We look forward to your recommendation.

Thank you.

Regards,

Don

Hi Wonder,

The tour was great, it was a bit foggy but we got some nice views :)!

Thanks for the information, we will be in the lobby by 8:50 tomorrow.

Regards,

Sebastian

Hi Wonder,

I was certainly very happy with both the guide Sandy and the driver in Chengdu. They were friendly and helpful. The driver was careful, his car was immaculate, he lent me his umbrella and always arrived promptly. He and Sandy took great trouble to find restaurants for lunch and Sandy obtained a ticket for me to attend the opera. Sandy spoke good English, was interesting, knowledgeable and good company.

Teresa

你好，Wonder,

挺开心的体验感还蛮好的。导游和司机都非常好，尤其是大理和丽江的导游和师傅。

Lee

Dear Mr. Wang,

The cruise has been a wonderful experience for us. The crew has provided all time a very professional service.

Thanks a lot.

Javier

Hi Wonder,

Sorry that this review is delayed for so long! Here it is:

1. Wonder was very prompt, patient and flexible with our questions and specific requests, through the process of planning and arrangement. He kept us updated on trains and hotels, and made sure everything was going well during the trip. It was a pleasure to have Wonder as our travel consultant, and his work did result in a wonderful trip!

2. The tour arrangements were very well organized, hotels were comfortable, meals enjoyable, and the guides and drivers were helpful and kind. Thanks to our guides Steven, Elan, Alina, and Helen. Through them we learned so much about each place we visited, creating more meaning and connection for our travels. We’ll have great memories!

3. Yes, we’ll definitely recommend your service to our friends.

4. Very good travel service, very responsive to our needs and desires, very prompt.

Thank you again Wonder, for everything!

Best Wishes,

Lena, Kevin & Ariana

Hello Wonder,

We have now returned home.

We would like to thank you for our trip it has been fabulous. We have thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We wished we had more time to spend at the sites but time was always against us.

We have only praise for the tour guides we had on the trip. They were all very helpful and knowledgeable.

We are looking to return next year and will spend the winter researching where we would like to visit.

We will have no problem recommending China discovery as a tour operator.

We will be in touch again for your help when we have decided on areas of interest.

Many thanks

Kind regards

Helena & Simon Lewis

Hi Wonder,

The trip has been amazing so far Wonder, thanks!

Javier

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for the Xian arrangements, we had a very good trip, the 2 guides are both very good, esp Bruce for Xian, very knowledgeable and passionate about his job and speaks very good eng!

Ting

Hi Wonder,

Thanks, the tour to Inner Mongolia was amazing. Guides/ activities were perfectly organized.

Our plan is to travel arriving in beijing and leaving from xian for 6 nights in April. If you could send information. We will most likely book in the new year.

Thanks again,

Jess

Hi Wonder,

Yes we arrived on time and everything went smoothly. Thanks so much for organising the trip, we had an amazing time and we would love to come back to China in the future. The tour guides were fantastic too and we will treasure the memories.

Kind regards,

Rachel

Good morning, Wonder

The tour was great. Henry the guide was excellent. Today we go back to Chengdu. Tomorrow we leave by train at 15 to Beijing.

How much would be a driver from the hotel to Panda base and then to train station? What if a guide is included?

Maria

Hi Wonder,

Our trip has been completed yesterday. We all are leaving 長沙 today. It was a really nice tour arranged by your company. Thank you again. Hopefully we will do it again in the future. All the best to you and your family.

Clement

Good morning, Wonder

We have concluded our trip in Chongqing. Jim and driver have been very responsible and caring throughout the trip.

Thanks again for your arrangement.

咱们后会有期

Ling

Hi Wonder,

Thank you so much for everything you have done for us! We will for sure, recommend you and your company to friends and family :)

Please see as follows the completed Evaluation form. We are working on a Tripadvisor review and will post in the next few days as we are now back at work!

1. Vivien was very helpful in the early arrangements of our itinerary. She answered all the questions that we had and adapted ithe agenda to our needs.

Wonder responded swiftly to all our questions. He was very patient and understanding, especially with our delays with our China visa applications. We were very appreciative and it helped lower our stress levels!

2. The itinerary was well organised and very detailed (which we liked). We got a good snapshot of each place in the short time we were there.

3. 100% we would recommend China Discovery. In fact we have already advised people we met during our holiday in China and Sangeet has posted your details on his social media.

4. Where a lot of companies lack customer service, China Discovery had it in abundance. We could not have asked for anything more.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone at Head Office who was involved in organising our trip, you have been a pleasure to work with. Also a big thank you for all the generous gifts and the birthday cake!

A professional, knowledgable tour guide leads to a pleasant experience. What we discovered at the end of the trip was that having a good rapport with your tour guide is very important and makes all the difference. Someone who is able to listen and understand what we expect from our day (We like to go where the locals go, where the locals eat. We like to learn more about the culture and the people who live there, it is not about the fanciest restaurant or the really touristy areas).

5. Although the itinerary and the guides tell you the agenda for the day, a rough idea of the timings would be useful at the start of the day. This way we know what we are working towards time-wise, how long we have at each place, so we can respect and flex accordingly. For example if we wanted to spend longer at one place, we can then reduce the time spent in another.

6. We would be more than happy to share some photos if you would let us know what you would like them of, as we took quite a few! Any particular place? Ones with us in them, etc?

7. Of course, we would be happy to speak to potential customers!

All the best

Pikkam & Sangeet

Hello Wonder,

Our kids really enjoyed the trip. They were very delighted and thankful for the nice experiences and they loved China a lot which makes me happy because I love this country a lot as well. So thank you for your efforts to make this happen.

Lukas

Dear Wonder

We have returned from our holiday, and I can report that we had an amazing time. Here are our thoughts:

1. You and Vivien have been incredible from the start, very patient, quick to reply to all our questions and very good at accommodating us. The tour itself was very well organised.

2. The driver Wang 师傅was very patient and helpful with the luggage, and he was a very calm and competent driver throughout. Mary was excellent as a tour guide, very knowledgeable about Inner Mongolia, very passionate and very helpful. She was absolutely spot on with all her recommendations. Hotels were well-chosen, in convenient locations. Highlights for us include: the bonfire party on our first night on the grasslands, the spectacular show at Huanghuagou, and camel riding and sand sliding. We’re very pleased with this tour as a whole; we feel we’ve been able to visit places and take part in activities that we would not have been able to experience on our own.

3. I would like to recommend your company, Absolutely. We are also considering taking part in more tours with you in the future.

Many thanks and best regards

Ming-I

Hi Wonder,

That's just to let you know that we had perfect days. Everything's working out perfectly (and yes, we did see the Anyang museum)

No prob to skip the history museum, and we look forward to focus on the archeology museum.

Henan museum is fantastic.

The Xi'an Shaanxi Archaeology Museum is fantastic. There are simply too many great places in Xi'an, one could stay for 2 weeks and never be bored.

Cathy is a wonderful person, we are having a great time. Gulnur provided marvelous help, btw. Can't praise her enough. She looked up everything on our last day with her, phoned several people until she had reliable information.

Peter

Dear Wonder,

The tour was perfect! Tour arrangement, including the drivers,tour guides,hotels is Excellent. I would definitively recommend your company!

Wonder, thank you for everything!

Best regards,

Pablo

Dear Wonder,

We would like to thank you and your team for making our trip to China so special and enjoyable. Every tour guide and driver we met were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

We had a fantastic week in China exploring some of the amazing sights as well as tasting the different regional foods.

I would also like to that you for your quick replies and ensuring we were fully aware of our itinerary and any changes.

When we come to China again in the future, we would use China discovery again and will recommend your service la to our friends.

Kind regards

Dan

Hi Wonder,

It has been a most enjoyable experience! Thank you!

Best regards,

Bart Roelofsen

Hi Wonder,

Apologies for the delayed reply. The tour was very pleasant! We enjoyed ourselves.

I am very pleased with the response times, and you has also gone the extra mile to accomodate our plans whenever we requested any changes.

The tour guides were very professional, open, and friendly! We really enjoyed their company. The drivers kept the vehicle clean at all times and drove comfortably. I have one suggestion regarding hotels: We were allocated to a smoking floor in our hotel in Kun Ming. I believe the experience would have been much better if we were asked of our accomodation preferences (smoking / non-smoking). I had a very sensitive nose and was sometimes uncomfortable in the room.

I would recommend the company to others.

Clarissa

Hi, Wonder!

I wanted to write you as soon as I left Guilin because I had such a WONDERFUL time in China thanks to you, but we still had Hong Kong and Tokyo after Guilin, so I am finally writing you now that I am settled back in the USA.

Wonder, everything is China was amazing! Thank you thank you for ALL of your work and help in planning our trip in the mainland. I also appreciate your ease and willingness to make changes at the last minute that suited my family the best. It all worked out perfectly. Each tour guide was phenomenal: Yu, Cindy, Jim and Peter. I would highly recommend all of them. Each city was so different and we learned so much at each location. The history was so fascinating. My sister is already saying that if she goes to China, she is using you. Haha.

I will most definitely write a glaringly positive review on Trip Advisor about you and China Discovery as well as each of the tour guides (the drivers were all great also). You all deserve the praise and may your company continue to stand out. You are the best and thank you again on behalf of my whole family on making this trip so amazing and memorable.

Take care,

David

Hi Wonder,

We enjoyed our excursions very much, and our guides were wonderful. Thank you for your help with organising it, and also Vivian.

with best wishes

Claire

Hi Wonder,

The trip to Tibet was fantastic. Thank you very much. It was a gift to be allowed to experience and our guide made the experience something special. He was fantastic We are very satisfied and of course have thousands of pictures, of which I would like to send you some.

Sincerly

Sabine

Hi Wonder,

We very much enjoyed the cruise thank you. Especially made welcome by Austin on the boat who looked after us English speakers extremely well. The room was comfortable and all the activities very appropriate and well organised. We also used the swimming pool on the boat twice or more times.

The documentary about the three gorges shown in the cinema the night before our visit there was excellent in helping us to understand what happened with the dam. It could have been better publicized but we managed to get there and really enjoyed. However the visitor site of the dam needs to have more English captions for us to really appreciate. We were surprised how little English translation there was at the biggest dam in the world.

The place where you embark on the boat in Chong Qing was more difficult than I had imagined - there was nowhere really to park. Not sure what you could do as a solution for that?!

Thank you for arranging for us,

Wang

Good morning Wonder,

Thank you for your message.

Overall, both tours were most enjoyable, and the guides were well-informed and helpful. Mary, our guide in Inner Mongolia, was particularly pleasant, informed, and always present when needed.

Best regards

Linda

Hi, Wonder,

Thanks a lot for your message, everything went well, it was a great tour and the guides all did a great job too.

I think some of the experiences there are already very much tailored to tourists especially from mainland China (e.g. the Karez system, or the shops in Kashgar old town), so I was happy that the guides were ready to pursue some additional activities which were not on the initial itinerary - like the Emin Minaret in Turpan, which was probably my favorite place of the tour. Very beautiful and peaceful, and practically no other visitors.

All the best, and looking forward to the next trip.

Marco

Dear Wonder,

Thank you for the great arrangements for the Fujian tour in June. My family totally enjoyed the Fujian trip, the sights and great food.

Best,

Wai Nam

Dear Mr. Wonder Wang

We are very satisfied and happy to go with the cruise ship.

Everything is well prepared, the staffs are all professional.

Thank you very much

Vince

Hi Wonder,

The tour is great,we enjoyed it very much,as well as the cruise.

I could like to thank you for this wonderful tour of ours. Everything is just perfect,you as our consultant, you are really great, you really did your best to arrange it the way we wanted.

The tour guides and the drivers are friendly and courteous, they are really good in what they are doing.

The accommodations are nice and clean,location is good, hotel's staff are nice and helpful.

Definitely we will recommend your company to any of my friends who is planning to visit China, and me and my daughter are planning for another tour.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely

Ruby and Gigi

Dear Wonder,

The tour was amazing but 2 days were not enough, next time I book more time.

Regarding your questions, everything was perfect.

Thank you

Francisco

Hi there, feedback as below:

Wonder Wang was great to work with. All emails and questions were answered very quickly. We booked this a little bit late and provided a list of things that we would like to do and quickly got a detailed itinerary that covered everything we wanted to do. The itinerary was very detailed and we were well taken care of throughout the whole trip. During our trip we wanted to change something and this was done effortlessly. Five star service all the way!

Everything worked out great. All of our guides and drivers were extremely helpful and always on time and where they said they would be. The guides were local to the places we went so they provided us with a ton of information about everything we were seeing. The hotels were great, the trains were all great, we really enjoyed everything and it was easy thanks to the work of Wonder Wang.

I would 100% recommend this company. Everything was top notch and communication was smooth. We were never in doubt about anything to do with the trip. Again 5 stars!

David

Hi there,

We are writing to thank Mr Wang for working with us from the planning phase to the final reality. He responded to my emails quickly, listened to me and answered my questions patiently and clearly. He even suggested altering our trip plan to avoid the huge crowd due to the May Day holiday, and thank goodness, we did change our plans.

During this 23-day trip, we were taken care of from the moment we arrived in Kunming airport to the last minute we were dropped off at Beijing Train Station. All tour guides and private drivers were professional and personal. All made our travel life so much easier.

We highly recommend Chinadiscovery, especially Mr Wang, to our friends and anyone that is interested in visiting China.

Thank you, Mr Wang, for all your hard work and patience helping me planning this grand trip that will last a lifetime. Hopefully we will talk to you in 4 years when we plan a trip to visit northwest part of China.

Sincerely,

Phyllis and Larry

Hi Wonder

We had a very good 2 day tour with Joe. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. He did his best to make sure we were well taken care of.

Our travel consultant at China Discovery was very good too. He answered our questions promptly.

I highly recommend China Discovery.

Regards

Nyuk

Hi Wonder,

Everything went well and the staff was very helpful! Maybe the lunch and dinner were a bit crowded, so we had to upgrade to a VIP restaurant and then it was ok. We were not used to travel in a group when go to sightseeing but at the end it was fun. We were very satisfied with the cruise it was clean and new and strictly non smoking! By the way, we are leaving China for good in a couple weeks, since our 4 years contract has come to an end! We want to THANK YOU for organizing and taking care of our many memories trips in China, we REALLY appreciate!

Thank you!

Stefan

Hi Wonder,

Thank you for arranging the tour for us. We sincerely enjoyed our time in China, and would like to commend our tour guide, Sandy! He was very patient, accommodating and took a lot of initiative to help make our trip more comfortable. He was also very knowledgeable about everything that we had to ask. 10/10 tour guide!

Best regards

Cyn Ying

Good morning, Mr Wang,

Larry and I returned home safe and sound, and are trying to recover from a very long exciting yet exhausting trip to China.

Thank you for working with us and making this grand trip possible, and precious gifts you sent to us.

All the tour guides and private drivers at each destination were wonderful. They were professional, courteous, flexible, personal, and easy to work with. Our shout outs to tour guides Vicky, Even, Delia, and Mike, and drivers Mr Lu (DaLi,LiJiang, Shangri-la) , Mr Tan in Chengdu, and Mr Fan in Beijing.

During the 23-day trip, Larry and I covered lots of grounds. For personal preference, we chose to skip Orange Island in ChangSha. We walked down 999 steps instead of taking the escalator in TianMenShan. Due to the weather, the ride to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountains was canceled. Due to my brief sickness, we skipped the SMT Great Wall. Larry got senior discount in Stone Forest. As suggested by several tour guides, I am writing to you to see if we would get the reimbursement for the service we didn’t use during the trip.

Thank you again for your patience, time and knowledge planning this wonderful trip with me.

Sincerely,

Phyllis

Morning Wonder,

we have a good time although the kids were tired after all the walking…hahaha…

Eunice

Hello Wonder,

Thank you for the update. Everything is fine, Jackie is a wonderfull guide! She speaks english fluently and knows a lot! The driver is also good, he drives carefully in a very good car.

I enjoy my trip very much so far.

Greetings

Johanna

Dear Wonder,

The tour in Xian was excellent.

Djoni

Hi Wonder!!

We will send you more detailed reviews/comments later but so far the tour has wildly exceeded all of our expectations, for which you and our wonderful guides and drivers deserve so much credit!! In addition to all of the sights on our itinerary and the fantastic acrobatic show we saw in Beijing and the extraordinary light show we saw in Guilin, we were also fortunate enough to have Linda recommend to us the AMAZING Shu Feng Ya Yun Sezchuan Opera show last night, just a short walk from our hotel, which was one of the best shows we have ever seen!! The shadow puppets and mask-changing were especially incredible! And yes we did receive yesterday the BEAUTIFUL gifts you sent us - thank you so much - we love the pandas and will treasure them always!

Zazi

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for looking into our Bhutan hotel situation and for providing information into the hotels that were in our original itinerary.

Thimphu - we really liked Om Amriti. The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating, the rooms were nice and comfortable, and the food delicious.

Punakha - Hotel River Valley was okay for one night. The hotel does cater to Indians but they were friendly and considerate. I was surprised our rooms were on different floors since we were traveling as a group, although this was the case in some of the other cities too.

Paro - Khangkhu Resort was not up to par with the other hotels as I previously shared.

We wear hiking to the Tigers Nest when you sent your email so we did not receive your offer for the hot stone bath and services. We will be going to a restaurant for dinner in Paró tonight so we hope to have a nice farewell dinner this evening.

Thanks,

David

Dear Wonder,

Thank you for having organized our trip to Xi’an. We had a wonderful time there!

All the best,

Chantal

Feedback as below:

MR. Wonder Wang was very responsive and helpful. He answered all our questions immediately and provided recommendations, too. He was flexible with our travel plans and was very patient with any changes requested. He was a pleasure to work with.

Tour arrangement with driver and tour guide was great. Pick up to anf from Airport and tranfer to/from Hotels was easy. Guides were very imformative. Travel arrangements for trains and internal flights went smoothly and the guides helped us with check in for all flights, hotels and trains.

I already recommended your company to friends and family. They will contact you once they decide on a trip to China.

Thank you fora great trip and for excellent arrangements!

We look forward to another trip to China to visit the rest of the beautiful country.

Dina

Hi, Wonder.

Ok, my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise - we upgraded the room which we thot was very good and very well maintained. Even the bath towels are of good quality!

Special mention to our guide Lawrence from the ship - he was assigned to assist us since he could speak English - he was very good and made sure we understood the detailed itinerary. We’re very glad that he was there to help us all along the trip!

We think the pace of the tours were good, and the processes and organisation for embarkation etc were very well thought out, planned and executed. We also enjoyed the narration when the ship cruised through the gorges, I think it was also Lawrence who read out the English descriptions of the cruise and the features that we were passing.

If there was one complaint, perhaps it was that there are not enough lifts in the ship and they didn’t go to the top floor. I think this is especially for older tourists like me!

Thanks, I will certainly recommend your services to my friends and relatives.

Lee

Dear Wonder,

In Datong we forgot to give a comment on the service there.

We were very satisfied with both. The driver was also very polite. May was an excellent guide with good English and knowledge of the history. Many thanks to her. She earns the number 5!

So far we are very happy with the trip.

Kind regards,

Urs and Ingrid

Dear Wonder,

you might WONDER that we put no claim on today’s hotel room. We are very happy, it’s one of the best hotel room with a wonderful view. Enjoy the evening.

Urs and Ingrid

Hi Wonder

Can I think you fit all your help , everything went to plan and Sally was exceptional , she was very well spoken , easy to understand and full of information and felt she actually wanted to help us decide what tours were best for us Many thanks again and I will recommend you should anyone I know be travelling to China

Bill and Michelle

Dear Wonder,

we checked in and the room is really GREAT.

Regards

Urs and Ingrid

Hi Wonder,

Hello Wonder,

The tour was very good thank you and we were very pleased with our tour guide Joy. She was very accommodating and understood what interested us and what didn't, and she made lots of good suggestons for additional things we could do on the trip (such as a tea plantation and a show in Yangshuo). I will definitely recommend your company and will be coming back to you for assistance in planning my future trips to China.

Kind regards

Vanessa

Dear Wonder,

we had a great time here with a nice guide. She promised us, that her English will improve during the coming years.

Thanks and a good start into the coming week.

Urs and Ingrid

Hi Wonder,

Overall our tour are good arrangement

Citra

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for reaching out.

We had an awesome time in Zhangjiajie!

1. Yes we had a great travel consultant/guide. He was very good at explaining for us as well as the kids. On the side he was a great Chinese tutor for our kids

Apart from her help to send the jacket, Sally has been a wonderful guide not just for Xian and Terricotta warriors but also as we discovered she’s very knowledgeable in China’s history. We had lengthy conversations and I’ve learned much from her.

2. This was a good arrangement: spacious cars and the hotel was basic but good.

3. Yes definitely.

Regards,

Arjen

Hi Mr Wonder.

Sorry for my late reply. So far the tour has been great. Every tour agent has indepth knowledge of the historical site we visited. Rgds

Goh

Hi Wonder,

Just to thank you for defraying postage in sending the jacket I left at Xian hotel to Shanghai hotel. Please send my regards and my appreciation to Sally in managing the jacket to Shanghai.

Apart from her help to send the jacket, Sally has been a wonderful guide not just for Xian and Terricotta warriors but also as we discovered she’s very knowledgeable in China’s history. We had lengthy conversations and I’ve learned much from her.

Hi Wonder,

Great.. service good and very friendly.

Merry has showing good spot of jiuzaiguo. I have meet some people from indonesia and they has asking me about my tour. I hv recommend them to contact you.

Johnny

Hi Vivien,

Good evening Wonder. My wife enjoys one of her most memorable tour today. Suzhou is indeed a place NOT to be missed whenever you are in China. I will definitely provide the feedback once I am back to Malaysia later this week. Once again, many thanks for the arrangements and most of all, the support given to us when I lost my backpack yesterday.

I thank you and Rose for your dedication to look for my missing back. We indeed have a good afternoon with Rose before the good news arrived.

Kam

Dear Mr Wonder Wang,

My wife and I very much enjoyed the holiday tour to Yunnan. Thank you very much for organising the tour for us. All went well.

The only time when we experienced a little anxiety was when the fast train from Lijiang to Kunming removed coach 9 and moved the first class coach to coach 1. Unable to find coach 9 we boarded with our two heavy luggage onto coach 8 and was then informed that the first class coach has changed to coach 1. We quickly disembarked, push our luggage all the way to coach 1 and embarked again.

Other than the above minor inconvenience, the trip as a whole was superb. Both the local guides and drivers were fantastic.

Thank you once again for your excellent organisation of the tour.

Best Regards,

Kar-Tun

Dear Wonder,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We got back to the UK yesterday as scheduled and without any issues.

The whole china experience was flawless and only made possible because of your diligent help with the exceptional pre-travel support and meticulous itinerary arrangements.

A special thank you to Jackson, Aria and Laurie, they were outstanding at their jobs, punctual, knowldgeable and genuinely cared about our experience and were very interesting people to get to know. The included lunch was an excellent addition to the tour, giving us an opportunity to experience local foods we might not otherwise have tried, this also allowed us time to spend time with the guides and learn about their lives, families and customs / traditions, and aspirations. The choice of hotels and their locations could not have been better, the city to city arrangements were perfectly arranged and executed by the local tour companies / guides / drivers.

Thank you so much for making our one in a life time adventure possible.

I would certainly recommend your company to anyone planning a private bespoke tour to China, we believe we got great value for money and so glad we didn’t pick a standard group tour, as the private attention we got was worth every penny.

Kind Regards,

Santosh

Hi Wonder,

Hi. The tour was good and excellent guide and driver.

Anna

Hi Wonder,

it was a nice experience! Thank you

Mario

Hi Wonder,

We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the great experience we had aboard Century Oasis. As a family, we’ve traveled to many places around the world but this trip truly stands out as one of the most memorable.

Thank you Wonder from yangtze-river-cruises.com for helping us to arrange the cruise. Your attention to detail and excellent customer service made the booking process smooth and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we're already looking forward to our next adventure with your company.

Also thanks to our amazing cruise manager Allan Chen and all the cruise crew members on Century Oasis from Chongqing to Yichang. From the moment we stepped on board until our final farewell, Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring a fantastic experience for all passengers was evident.

The ship's cleanliness, quiet ambiance, and outstanding service truly made our time on board feel like a dreamy escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was a haven where we could relax, unwind, and immerse ourselves in the spectacular scenery of the Yangtze River.

Thank you once more for all your unwavering assistance, warmth, and for continually watching out for us. Can't wait to cruise again with someone as awesome as you leading the way!

Regards,

Andy

Dear Wonder,

The Chongqing trip was great! I've been recommending it to all my friends.

Thank you so much for your help.

Regards

May

Hi Wonder,

everything's great. Henry is very helpful, and arranged wheelchair for my mum - he was not aware that she has mobility issues

Sharon

Hi Wonder,

That’s was very good trip for us. Thanks for good planning. especially having same car across last 6 days was very wise act.

Tamer

Dear Wonder,

Should you be interested whether we arrived good, yes we did! We enjoyed the first week with Jack.

Regards

Urs and Ingrid

Hi Wonder,

Thanks so much for our gifts. The pandas are very cute and the children love them. My panda picture is beautiful. We are having a great time and the guides have been fantastic.

Kathy

Hello Wonder,

Yes we liked the tour, especially the hiking in the tea plantations, you have an excellent guide here!

Heloisa

Dear Wonder,

Just to let you know that we had a wonderful time in Xian with Lee the tour guide. We also filled out the survey from China Discovery. The Terracotta Warriors and the hike on Huashan were amazing. It was an achievement to climb up Huashan and see the magnificent sights - highly recommended and worthwhile! The Eastern House hotel was also very good and convenient.

Looking forward to future trips with China Discovery after recovering from this one (unfortunately I tested positive for covid when I got back to HK).

Thank you again.

Kind regards

Jennifer

Hi Wonder,

We're having a wonderful time in Yunnan. Good food, nice hotels and scenic views! Thank you for booking this trip for us.

Wing

Hi Wonder,

Guide is great! Waiting too long to get entrance tickets in most cases. Indigo hotel is subpar.

Adrian

Good Morning, Wonder.

We are on the train to Guilin now. We had a good but short visit in Chengdu. Ellen managed to show us all the attractions as per our itinerary despite the rain. We enjoyed the delicious lunch Ellen took us to very much.

Ellen gave us a survey to fill out but unfortunately we lost the survey form this morning. If it’s still required please email me a new form at your convenience.

Thank you.

Rex

Hi Wonder,

We have just finished our first day tour in Xian.

Our tour guide Gin is great. We enjoyed very much the visit and the delicious lunch she provided.

Thank you. We will be in touch.

Rex

Dear Wonder,

After returning from our magnificent and wonderful China tour I would like to share our impressions with you. If you want you can use our comments as testimonial for you as well.

My wife and me took on March/April (at this time the different sites are not overcrowded and the climate is comfortable too) a 21-day private tour through China (mainly in the South) organised by Wonder, China Discovery. Wonder is an ideal travel consultant. He is highly competent, absolutely professional and flexible. Exept one also the local tour guides and drivers were very engaged and trusty. For travelling within China we used mainly the very efficient, very fast, comfortable and very punctual high speed trains. The selection of hotels (location and comfort) was also good. So, we were able to carry out our tour, which was quite ambitious and strict for our age (71 years), well. Only under these conditions you can have a pleasant tour through China. We can highly recommend China Discovery and personally Wonder. - Antal from Hungary, April 2024

Information just for you. The best English skills among the local tour guides had Derek (Hangzhou), Vicky (Dali), Bruce (Xian), Lobsang (Shangri-La) and Lisa (Luoyang). Jenny (Kunming area) was not really good. For example on the first day we could reach and see the sunset at the rice fields only because of our initiative and pressure. Otherwise we would have missed it. Attached I send you a few photos, which you can use if you want.

Finally I have a request to you. Would you please send me a China map with our travel route marked? (Beijing - Shanghai - Huangshan - Guilin/Yangshuo - Kunming - Stone Forest - Yuanyang/Hani rice terraces - Jianshui - Dali - Lijiang - Leaping Tiger Gorge - Lhasa - Luoyang - Beijing). I hope it is possible and I thank you very much in advance.

Antal

Hi Wonder,

Thank you for the update.

We have had a great first day touring in Beijing today. Jack is taking good care of us. We appreciate having him accompanying us in Beijing.

Please keep in touch during our visit in the coming weeks.

Rex

Hi Wonder,

No worries about the misunderstanding. We are so blessed today, it was sunny and we have such an awesome day walking, capturing the majestic mountains and amazing color lakes big and small throughout the entire journey.

Also not missing on the glorious waterfall.

Mary is very energetic and adventurous tour guide and she ask us to walk on the paths which is not popular but to our surprise, the views are amazingly beautiful.

My husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you for a good holiday in Huanglong and Juzhaiguo. It is really memorable. Now we are confident to engage China Discovery for our future China tours and also recommend to our friends and relatives.

Thanks.

Joyce

Hello Wonder,

The cruise was a great success and we were all very happy and satisfied.

Corresponding with you was very efficient and your patience in helping us with all our problems was remarked by each of us! The ship was really first class: the rooms, the meals, the personnel, the arranged tours, in a word: everything was over our expectations and we would certainly recommend your services to any friend who might be interested in the Three Gorges Cruise

Thanks once again for your help and all the best

Giovannni

Hello Wonder,

Thanks for the arrangement of the tour. Everything was well arranged and we have a good time. The tour guide and driver were knowledgeable, patient and helpful. The hotels provided good service and comfort. The room were spacious and clean. Will highly recommend to friends and relatives who like to visit.

Alice

Hi Wonder

Jackie is great. Good afternoon.

Fred

Hi Wonder,

What a great surprise and thank you so much for the Lovely Gift from China Discovery through you.

My husband and I extend our much thanks to you.

Just an update :

After meeting Tan and Jane, we peoceed to Panda Reserve conservation and had such a great day looking out and having great views and taking photos & videos of the pandas. We also had a great time at the Wenshu Tempke and Jinli Street.

Yes, our trip to Leshan and Mt Emei was so thrilling as well experiencing the great landscape and Sculpture.

Mt Emei was a bit chilling but we also had a great day.

Truly thanks for arranging such a patient and friendly coach driver Tan and Tour guide Jane.

They are so amazing, so helpful and willing to do extra by extending their service to provide transportation for our Night show in Emei.

Thanks again and looking forward to Juzhaiguo tomorrow.

Joyce

Dear Wonder

Thank you for your email. We are now back in UK after our amazing trip and we’re very happy to give you some feedback.

1. Is your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions?
You have always been very fast in replying to us…….usually within 24hours. When you were going to be unable to do so because of personal commitments or the Spring Festival, you let us know and replied as soon as possible after that. We have been impressed with your efficiency and thorough answers to our questions. When we had difficulty in finding a suitable way to pay because of very different systems in China and UK, you gave us different options and provided all the information we needed. It has been easy to communicate with you and we have been very happy with your service.

2. How is tour arrangement, including the drivers,tour guides,hotels,etc?
Tour Arrangement: The itinerary was so interesting, varied and well planned. We were able to visit the famous places in your country such as Tian’anmen Square, The Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors etc but also places that are less well known to people in the West. All the journeys between cities were carefully arranged and the timing was good. The train journeys were excellent but we found the stations a little confusing, particularly Wuhan. It would have been really helpful if the Guides could have come into the stations with us as we speak no Chinese. Sally in Yichang helped us enormously by writing out in Chinese all the information we needed in Wuhan. We were able to show this to a member of station staff who helped us find the train. It was a very busy 10 days and it might have been good to have a little more ‘free time’ but then we would not have seen as much!
Tour Guides and Drivers: The drivers were all good and helpful. We found the Buick cars quite difficult to get in and out of, particularly from the back seats. The Guides were all great and their English was extremely good. Jack (Beijing), Johanna (Pingyao) and Timo (Xi’an) were fantastic. Their knowledge about all the places was incredible and they were able to explain it all well. They were helpful in explaining and ordering lunch and in understanding our needs eg finding an ATM. They were also flexible in helping with problems eg when our friend needed to see a Chinese Herbalist. We enjoyed talking with the Guides very much.
Hotels: The hotels in Beijing and Xi’an were very good. David and I liked the hotel in Pingyao because it was different and less Western. However, we’re sure that some Westerners would not have liked it and it might be good if you told guests in the itinerary that this was a more typical Chinese hotel. There was no Western-style coffee at breakfast there. The Yangtze Gold cruise ship was ok but we saw much smarter ships on the river. The cabin and facilities were acceptable. We can see that the ship mainly caters for Eastern guests and their cultural expectations which we were happy to accept for a few days but it would be worth noting that Western guests like more flexible dining times, better entertainment and a greater sense of luxury. As all the ports where the ship stopped (except the final port) were deep in the gorge and there were many steps up from the river, this should be noted in the itinerary as some people would not be able to climb up.

3. Would you like to recommend our company?
We would be very happy to recommend China Discovery.

4. Points that your company might find helpful for Western guests.
• It is VERY expensive for Westerners to use their mobile phones abroad so most travellers prefer not to make or receive calls. They do not have wifi unless they are in a hotel etc so communication with Guides is difficult when travelling etc. Western guests might be advised to have a VPN or buy a Chinese SIM card. They might also be advised to download WeChat for easy communication.
• We do not use Alipay or WeChat in the West so this is an unfamiliar way of paying/transferring money. However this is essential in China as most places do not accept western credit cards.
Thank you.

With very best wishes

Sue and David

Dear Wonder

Thank you for arranging our holiday in China which was both educational and extremely enjoyable. I address the questions you ask on behalf of Jean and myself; I expect David and Sue will respond separately. I am not the photographer in the family. Jean will select some photographs to send you.

1. Is your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions?
You always fully answered our questions overnight UK time so we had the answer the following morning. You were equally prompt when we were in China.

2. How is tour arrangement, including the drivers, tour guides, hotels, etc?
The tour arrangements were excellent, as were all the guides. Jack in particular was outstanding. The one criticism we would make was I your guide in Wuhan, with whom we had no contact, should have given you better advice to pass on about our the layout of the station at Wuhan. We didn’t realise on arrival for some ten minutes that arrivals and departures were on different floors in the manner of an airport. We ended up cutting it extremely fine to catch the train. We could well have lost it if you had not had the foresight to ask Sally to give us questions in Chinese which we took to the service desk.
The accommodation was excellent., although it might be advantageous to advise clients that the hotel in Pingyao is a historic building ,which is full of character but lacks the amenities of a modern hotel which they may prefer. The one disappointment was the boat, which was in need of refurbishment. While the quality of the food in the buffets was good, it was seldom other than lukewarm. There was a very limited range of equipment in the gym. It was difficult not to feel envious of passengers on Victoria Sabrina which we accompanied downstream.

3. Would you like to recommend our company?
100% - without hesitation. I am sure you personally will be approached by our friends for assistance when they visit China, which we will encourage them to do.

Thank you again for your arranging a memorable holiday.

Best wishes

Barrie

Hi Wonder

We fly back today to Philippines

Hi Wonder

Oh it was really good. Wanda was one of the best tour guides we’ve had. Surprised we didn’t need to do an “evaluation form” for her. Also the driver was the best driver we’ve ever had. Amazing how we had to wait <1 minute to be picked up from each location.

Sam

Hi Wonder,

it was such a wonderful trip, giving me a great impression of Chengdu and Chongqing, thanks to the professional guide by Ellen and David.

Thank you Wonder and Benny for arranging the trip. It was fun, food was good and we did enjoy it very much!

Evelyn

Hi Wonder,

it was great. We loved it,now my wife and my daughter are skiing and I’m doing homework. Everything went well!

Claudio

Hi Wonder,

My review for the tour:

1. Travel consultant Wonder Wang is very fast to respond to all our queries and gave us good advice on our routing and timing of travel. He planned a very good itinerary for us based on our budget and where we wanted to go. He also helped us to locate the Liu ancestral hall in Huiyang though it was not part of our tour. We did manage to locate it and are very grateful for his help.

2. The tour arrangements were very smooth and met all our requests. The itinerary was well planned and moved seamlessly through all the places we wanted to see. All the tour guides met us on arrival as scheduled, they spoke excellent English, and were very flexible to rearrange the tour schedule in accordance with the weather conditions. They also adapted to our mobility situation and assisted us with getting up and down steps, and in and out of the vehicles. The drivers drove safely, no speeding and on schedule for our connections to the next destination at the train stations and airports. Bottles of water were provided throughout the tour. Hotels were good, and the rooms were non-smoking rooms as we had requested. They were located conveniently close to restaurants so we could have our dinner at our own pace.

3. We would highly recommend China Discovery and certainly would travel with them again in the future. They took care of every detail, and we had a fantastic time without any stress or worry over travel arrangements.

Thanks again for arranging everything.

Billie

Hi Wonder,

Thanks!

Harbin trip was good. Summer & Driver was good

Swee

Hi Mr Wang,

Thanks! I had a weekend away to Xi’an, China to celebrate my birthday. It was an exciting weekend and it was certainly something off the beaten trail for most of my friends. The itinerary you have suggested provided good coverage of the city’s rich history. From the fascinating Terracotta Army to the City Walls to the sacred Mount Hua, to the Muslim Quarter to the Drum & Bell Towers, there’s an interesting story from every historical era in Xi’an. I managed to hike up Mount Hua from North Peak to West Peak, but I didn’t get to do the dangerous plank walk as it was closed.

The hotel Eastern House was very accessible too with food places within steps and its proximity to the Drum Tower is a plus. The room was very clean and comfortable.

At this point, I have to quickly mention our amazing tour guide Betty Jiao Yan who was assigned to us as part of our private tour package. She made our time feel so very special and I wonder if Xi'an would have been as awesome without her. She had such a positive and caring nature and when we had to say goodbye, we felt very sad. It was strange to miss a guide after only knowing her for 5 days! Luckily we still keep in touch on WeChat. Our driver Mr Ma was very polite, punctual and accommodating, making our travel a pleasant experience

Anne

Good morning Wonder,

I am on my way back to Seattle, Washington today I wanted to thank you and your team for the excellent arrangements. Morgan is a top notch, fantastic guide. He made the journey of the tour a great experience.

Cheers

Joe

Dear Wonder,

Sorry for the super late reply.

Your company consultant (Mr Wonder) has been super efficient replying and solving my doubts. He follows up every single details and everything went smoothly under his guidance.

The service was great from every aspects on the cruise during the tour.

Definitely!

Pat

Hi Wonder,

Sorry for just replied your email. We just reached home safely.

Our trips were awesome! We really enjoyed our trips from Yangtze River Cruise to our private tours. Not only we had much fun, but also gained much knowledges.

First of all, I’d like to say thank you so much to Wonder for helping us to arrange our trips. The way he followed up his first email that went to my email spam was awesome. That’s the reason I chose him as my travel consultant. He showed me from beginning that he’s a responsible person.

During our trips, we were accompanied by Nancy, David, and Jack. All of them were very on-time and very knowledgeable; they speak English fluently. That helped us to understand the long history of the places where we visited. The restaurants that they recommended were also nice.

As my thankful to China Discovery, I’ve recommended this company to my relatives and friends who asked me about my trips. Again, thank you so much!

Sany

Hi Wonder,

Snow Town was good but very commercialised. However Ivy was a great tour guide. Very initiative& helpful

Pat

Dear mr. Wonder Wang

We have arrived at Chengdu and met Kevin. He is wonderful.

We do have a very great time during our tour at Beijing and Xian. Jack and Jessie, both are amazing. Also many thanks for the whole amazing trip here.. hopefully, someday we can go back to China again.. your country is very beautiful and rich of history.. we do really love and enjoy it..

Diana

Hi Wonder!

We had an amazing time in Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang! The guide was excellent! She was very friendly and flexible and the most importantly is that she seems to understand what foreigners like. I would totally recommend her if you have foreigners group visiting Zhangjiajie.

Also the itinerary you organized was wonderful too! There were some hiking and some routes that were not yet popular and we enjoy that because it’s less crowded and more relaxing!

Panuwat

Hi Wonder,

Nice trip we had at Changbaishan despite the super cold weather.

Alice

Thank you for the Christmas greetings, Wonder!

our bullet train back to Hong Kong which was comfortable and fast. Our tour guide Matt waited until we boarded, to be sure we were on the right train. Nice service!

Since this was my first trip to Hong Kong, I really appreciated the service of this tour company (Dec. 4-7, 2023) and you are wonderful! Mr. Wang answered questions in a timely manner and was always courteous and patient! I would definitely work with him again!

As well as Hong Kong, I really wanted to visit the new modern city of Shenzhen, and China Discovery provided the visitor passport needed to cross the border. I found this very helpful and convenient.

Our flight into Hong Kong had been delayed by about 2 hours, but our driver waited for us at the airport. Such a relief having an airport pick-up!

The Hong Kong hotel was in a convenient walkable area with shops, restaurants, taxis and metro a block away. The hotel in Shenzhen was modern and clean, with nearby Starbucks and food shops.

We had great tour guides, very interesting, knowledgeable, and patient- Eddie (HK) & Matt (Shenzhen). The drivers and cars were excellent and they always provided bottled water for us. We always felt well-cared for, safe and comfortable. Pick up times were perfect.

I loved our tour around Hong Kong Island, from Victoria Peak in the north to to Stanley Market in the south. Did not have time for lunch, which would have concluded the day nicely, but we did have a fun short water-taxi ride in Aberdeen.

In Shenzhen, we enjoyed going up the highest building in China, and visiting the factory-turned-Art Gallery mall. We had a lovely lunch there in the garden, then on to the cultural village with mini famous buildings, ethnic group dances and music, and the spectacular Horse Show! So entertaining and exciting! I think we could have fit one more visit to another site, before heading to a shopping mall

You arranged our bullet train back to Hong Kong which was comfortable and fast. Our tour guide Matt waited until we boarded, to be sure we were on the right train. Nice service!

It was a pleasure working with this tour company, with you, and each tour guide and driver! I highly recommend this tour, and tour company.

Fabulous tour and service, and excellent people!

Michelle

Hello Wonder

Huangshan trip is very nice. We all enjoyed it. We particularly like Su House. And huangshan mountain is very beautiful

Jeslyn

Hello Wonder,

thank you for all the arrangement. The scenery is nice!

Trina

Hi Wonder,

Thank you again for coordinating wonderful itinary seamlessly. My response to tour questions is under each question.

1. Yes. They provided very detailed answers and clarification to my questions in a timely manner. Also they facilitated abundant invitation letter so I could apply for and get China tour visa on my own without difficulty.

2. Every tour guide was kind, friendly, welcoming and informative. Especially guide at Dunhuang and Kashgar acted beyond my expectations and helped me solve problems with money exchange and airport check-in respectively.

3. Definitely. Only one thing I would like to note is that Kashgar Bazaar (typically sunday Bazaar) was no longer available in Kashgar.

Thanks in advance.

mija

Hi Wonder,

thank you so much for covering us on the ride down towards the main entrance. Thx!

We really enjoyed Jack’s host! He is a very attentive and knowledgeable host to us. We are all very grateful to have him bringing us around. Thx so much.

Angeline

Hello Wonder,

I am finally back in L.A. after the amazing and breathtaking views of our memorable China trip!

I am writing to thank you for your efficient and gracious service, and special thanks for taking the time to meet with us in Chengdu and the choice of such a beautiful souvenir for all of us. You sure have showed us a great example for excellent Customer Service.

Once again, we thank you very much for being so patient, answering all of our silly questions and explaining all that we need to know. You are Mr. Wonderful!

It was truly a great pleasure working with you, your professionalism and experience have been a great asset in planning my trip and I look forward to doing so again in the near future, hopefully in 2024. And, I can assure that you will be highly recommended to all my friends and family for their future travel needs.

Meanwhile, wishing you good health and happiness for years to come! Take care!!

Best Regards,

May

Dear Wonder,

Thank you for planning such a good tour for us - we enjoyed it a lot (though the hiking was tiring)!

The answers are below and sure, happy for it to be put up on your website.

1. Yes, Wonder was very prompt in answering any questions we had and patient to address our concerns.

2. Service was very good. Jessica went out of her way to help us and even let us use her phone to make calls because we had some issues with our hotel in Shanghai. Really appreciate it.

3. Definitely! Willing to recommend

Best regards,

Janice

Dear Wonder,

We had a great trip and enjoy the different places we went to. In Beijing we liked the hotel Double happiness hotel and it’s location, great access to local restaurants, coffee and craft beer bar. Andy the guide was very good and he took us to another neighbourhood after the Forbidden city. The great wall was also a hit. We also went to a show in the evening.

Xian was very interesting , a bit crowded around the terracotta museum , interesting history around of the city wall Ivan was a good guide too, we liked the spicy food and we also visited a show.

Zhangjiajie was the most beautiful place, Linda the guide took good care of us, we walked a lot and the place is very beautiful with the mountains and valleys.

Guilin was also nice the river tour was great, also beautiful ,you should always recommend people to do the first class booking. We also took the bamboo raft , nice.

The same goes for the train travel 2:nd class is really crowded and not comfortable, always recommend 1:st class. The difference in money is not much.

Shanghai was as expected, we went to an underground market area and the French concession which we enjoyed.

Also the guide Eileen was very nice and helpful.

In all we a bit surprised by China how green the cities were and people nice, we had a great time and enjoyed the sights seeing. We also liked to stroll around local markets in Beijing, Xian and Guilin, so thank you very much Wonder we had a great time and very good service from all of you

Best Regards

Mats

Hello Wonder,

Loved the cruise - especially the included excursions, special arrangement for English speaking guides, new boat, and friendly service!

Claus

Hi Wonder,

Please see my comments below.

1. Yes, the travel consultant was very fast in answering my email and very clear in his explanation.

2. The service of both tour guides in Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou was excellent, very impressed with the quality of the tour guides provided by your company.

3. Yes, will definitely recommend your company but pricing is a little on the high side given the quality of hotels provided.

Sai

Dear Wonder,

Thanks for organising our trip and we appreciated your prompt replies. It was a pleasant and wonderful trip to China.

Here, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Nancy of Yichang. Our Yichang flight to Guangzhou was cancelled without notifying us. We arrived at the airport only to be informed of it. Nancy swiftly took action and changed our flight from Wuhan-Guangzhou and rushed us to the train station to take the high speed train to Wuhan. We managed to arrive in time and back in Kuala Lumpur now. Nancy proves to be a very efficient and reliable guide. Thanks!

Kristle

Hi Wonder,

Thank you again for organizing our trip, we had a great time in Chengdu and also thank you for super cute panda gifts!

1. Is your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions?

Yes, yes and yes. Very good communication and assistance.

2. How’s the service of the tour guides during your whole tour?

Incredible, nothing was too much for our tour guide. Very accommodating and patient with us and our young children. Top service from the moment we landed in Beijing to helping us check back onto the flight at the end of our trip. Settling us up at our hotel, getting us dinner while we unpacked and sorted our young children into bed. Best tour guide I've ever had. Car seat was available and already installed for our toddler and they were fast to install our own infant car seat for our 4 month old on arrival.

100%

Kind Regards,

Courtney

Hi Wonder,

1. My travel consultant (Wonder Wang) was responsive. He was patient with my queries and made effort to explain and clarify every details. He would actively engage to solicit my interest and made good suggestions to the itineraries.

2. Our tour guide (Peter) was courteous and provided good services throughout the 1.5 day tour in Guilin and Yangshou. He spoke good English and was able to narrate & share with us the history and culture of the places we went. He was careful with the safety and would remind us about it especially during the river rafting ride. He guided and accompanied us to the boarding gate to ensure that we got on the High-speed train in time when we departed Guilin.

3. Yes, I would recommend China Discovery tours to my friends.

Hi, M/S Wonder Wang.

Good morning.

We had a wonderful time in Guilin, touring the various tourist spots stated in the itinerary.

1) Yes. The Travel Consultant of your company was very responsive and courteous in answering our enquiries and questions related to this trip.

He had been very helpful in putting up an itinerary for us to visit Guilin, during our short stay in Guangzhou.

2) Our tour guide, Mr. Lewis wass a very patient and helpful person who went all out to meet our requests during the trip.

Mr. Lewis replied all our questions promptly and courteously. We had no problem communicating with him in English and in Chinese as well.

3) Of course we will recommend to others the services render by your company. In fact, we've already started planning our next trip to China, using the services provided by your company.

Keep up with the good work for the betterment of tourism in China.

We look forward to touring China again.

Thank you very much and have a great day.

HK Khaw

Hi Wonder,

Yes, we arrived home on Friday night. It was a long trip Lhasa-Xi'an-Katmandhu-Doha-London. The only problem with the return was in Xi'an. Because we had no internet (SIM card) we could not download the health declaration when we left, so it took 1.5 hours to check in and get some help. I would recommend that anyone going to Tibet/China is advised to get a SIM card, or to download the health declaration when they are in the hotel.

Apart from that, everything went very smoothly. Guide and driver were good and we had an amazing time. Hotels were all very good, but we struggled some evenings to work out where or what to eat.

No issues with the Mt Kailash kora and we were lucky with good weather.

The guide gave us a feedback form to complete and I have attached this.

We are very grateful for you helping plan an excellent and unforgettable trip and we are very happy to recommend you and Tibet Discovery to other people. if you would like me to write a short testimonial for your website, please let me know.

We are starting to think about next year..... Mongolia is one of the options. Do you plan trips there?

Thanks again for perfect planning and a great holiday.

Regards,

Paul & Laragh

Hi, Wonder ,

First of all, thanks a lot for organizing this wonderful trip for me! It was really perfect in every aspect.

I have so many photos, more than 2000, so still in the process of sorting them.

Here some answers to your questions:

1. Is your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions?

YES! It was really perfect, I had many questions and individual requests, and I was extremely happy how fast and professional everything was answered and immediately organized according to my ideas. It was surely one of the best experiences I have ever had.

2. How’s the service of the tour guides during your whole tour?

The guides were very professional and knowledgeable, and therefore made sure that the itinerary was enjoyable and all sights were perfectly represented.

3. Would you like to recommend our company? For sure, 100%!

Regarding the itinerary, as I said everything was perfect. Just a recommendation in general: - Maybe if I would skip one thing, it would be the Sangke grassland. It is a rather small area, not so natural but very commercialized, and I think not so interesting for tourists from Europe or Central Asia. - One place where I would rather have spent more time is Gyantse. A very beautiful town but due to the very packed itinerary we arrived there only at 5.30pm so had just short time to see Palcho monastery and nothing else. It was one of my favorite places.

Once again, thank you so much for your support and patience, over almost 4 years, to finally get this trip organized. I can't wait to come back another time!

Best regards

Marco

Hi Wonder,

thanks, the trip was really nice! Jerry & our driver were super and the sights were great, too!

A big thank you for the good organization to you, too!

Best regards,

Buntha

Hello Wonder,

I am very well - very refreshed after the trip to China. Hope all is well with you.

Of course, please see my feedback below. Also attaching some photos for you as well. Happy for you to share these on your websites too.

Thank you once again for making the necessary arrangements for the trip. We hope to visit China again soon!

Best regards,

Jasmine

Hi,

Thank you for making all the arrangements for my family! We all had a wonderful time exploring Sichuan. All the guides are very professional and helpful, and the drivers are all very safe.

Zhiying

Dear Mr. Wang,

My trip was excellent and perfectly organised. Travel consultant was prompt in replying to my emails and patient enough to answer all my questions. Whole trip just happened exactly as per itinerary shared in advance. Tour guide was excellent, speaking fluent English, with excellent knowledge of the sites visited and able to give detailed explanations on all of my questions. Driver was very professional, his driving during the entire trip was pleasant despite heavy traffic through XiAn city.

Velimir

Hi Wonder,

Good afternoon. Thanks for your follow-up mail.

Thanks to your kind support, I & my wife really enjoyed the Xinjiang tour! It was a very valuable travel to see the magnificent nature of Xinjiang and the Islamic atmosphere of the cities and bazaars which could not be experienced in any other places in China. And of course we enjoyed the local cuisine as well. (In 6 days, I ate almost the same amount of lamb as I usually eat in six months!)

In addition, please find my feedback to your questions as below. If necessary, please use them on your web site.

1. ⇒ Yes, my consultant was friendly with quick response, and his suggestions to my questions were very informative.

2. ⇒ Local tour guides were knowledgeable and their talk about sightseeing spots were interesting. Their restaurant recommendations were also very good.

3. ⇒ Yes. I would like to recommend your company

Now I want to take another trip to North Xinjiang in the future.

D.Saigusa

Hi,

The cruise was great... Flight is delayed though (5:45pm now delayed until midnight), but the cruise was good. Great weather and wonderful staff

Hannah

Hi Wonder,

I apologize for the late response, I am continuing my travels in china with close friends and very busy.

1) You were amazing. I was very impressed by how quickly you responded and adjusted the tour to my requests. Perfect service from you!

2) Both tour guides were good, very friendly and flexible to suggestions and shared lots of good knowledge. Both also did very well with English. Bruce especially was very good in Xi'an!

3) Yes, absolutely. Very good experience with you.

I can send some photos at a later time if you would like.

Justin

Hello Wonder,

We enjoyed it very much, that’s a simple feedback :)

Regards

Tomas

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for being fast and patient. Very good service and taking care of us well. Likely to visit next year and will be in touch.

Any way, we are happy overall in this tour.

Calvin

Hi Wonder,

Please do thank the guides and driver for an absolutely wonderful tour! Joe was so knowledgeable and Shane was just outstanding today. I felt so genuinely cared for. Thank you again for understanding and trying so hard to help with Erika's train etc. Really appreciate it!

Tina

Wonder,

My parents enjoyed it very much thank you! Haven’t heard the details though because I haven’t met them yet.

Kim

Hi Wonder

Here is the feedback on the tour and the service provided by China Discovery. Thank you very much for your efficient service

1. Travel consultant, Wonder is prompt and efficient, since day 1, in responding to emails and my queries. He provided suggestions and recommendations, with supporting reasons, for my itinerary. He is patient and helpful.

2. My itinerary was followed till a slight change was required due to the area coverage of the visa-free policy. It was a disappointment for the six of us but Wonder made a suggestion to sightsee another place of scenic equivalence.

3. My itinerary was followed till a slight change was required due to the area coverage of the visa-free policy. It was a disappointment for the six of us but Wonder made a suggestion to sightsee another place of scenic equivalence.

4. China Discovery/ Chengdu Bamboo International Tours Co. Ltd, with responsible staff like Wonder and Judy, is a good choice for foreigners to engage with in planning a trip to China. I have been talking to my friends about China Discovery prior and after my trip.

5. A reliable and helpful agency for foreigners to China.

6. Need to clearly brief the driver on the different branches of a hotel under the same name. We were driven to CityNote at Beijing Road Pedestrian instead of CityNote Hotel Beijing Road Dafosi Park Metro Station. After bringing our heavy luggage up the hotel, we were told of the wrong hotel we were in by the lady staff. The hotel staff was very helpful when we requested her to show us the way to CityNote Hotel Beijing Road Dafosi Park Metro Station. She kindly walked us (as we draged our luggage across roads) almost to the hotel front.

Thank you and I am already looking forward to the next time,

Ms Au

Hi Wonder,

Yes we had a great time touring around the area, thank you for organizing our itinerary for our trip to the region.

The cruise last night was very nice! We got some good seats and enjoyed the view of the city at night.

Robbie

Hi Wonder,

it was a wonderful trip and Jessica was a great guide. The rain was relentless and therefore we only go a glimpse of the true beautiful of Huangshan mountain but maybe that means we will have to go again another time. It really is a stunning place.The hotels were better than expected.

essica recommeded winter time, maybe November or March after the national holiday which I think is a definite possibility. We also want to fit in Beijing sometime but thankfully we avoided that the intense heat this weekend. I would much rather be in the mountains where it is cool than in the heat of the city. It was a wonderful trip and just what we needed. As always thank you and when I get a moment I will write a review for you. If you can send me the link that would be great. I hope this is the start of a busy summer for you guys and tourists from home and abroad flock to the many wonderful sights in China. Thank you!

Gillian

Wonder,

Good morning!!! yes we had a super time! Jason is great and I’d highly recommend him for this tour we had a good time with him.

Sian

Dear Wonder,

We all arrived home safely on late Thursday evening 8 June.

Overall it was an interesting and enjoyable holiday for us. We all had a wonderful time on the cruise. From cleanliness of rooms to meals arrangements and entertainment programs it’s a thumbs up from us.

The lunch at Yichang was the best overall. Both touring in Yichang and Chongqing were nicely arranged .

Thank you for your hard work and May I wish All the best and success.

Elaine

Hi Wonder,

The arrengements were very good and I'll willing to recommend your service. The perfect Guide.

Eliane

Hello Mr. Wonder Wang,

We have arrived safely to Kuwait and are now cherishing our memories of China. We had a very positive impression of the country and its people in terms of organization, cleanliness, friendliness, beauty and convenience. We would definitely recommend your company to our family and friends. We were well cared for by your guides, which made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. Regarding your specific questions, we have these remarks:

1. Most definitely Mr. Wonder Wang was quick to answer our many questions. He offered valuable advice and was patient through multiple emails between our first point of contact a month before departure, during the tour of China, and until we returned home.

2. The service of the guides was generally very good. They gave us insight into the history and culture of China, and explained the significance of sites along the way. We also felt safe with the designated drivers. At the end of each guide's service, (s)he asked us to fill a questionnaire, and we can see why this is important. Generally our comments were very positive, but we did not have time to adequately assess one guide who was not at the usual standard for this company. His English name is Waldener. We felt he slacked in sharing beneficial knowledge of his city, instead joking around and showing off his knowledge of American history and culture. He was too familiar for our taste and his comments were often immodest. We feel he might benefit from more cultural sensitivity training. The remaining tour guides were very engaging, knowledgeable, dignified and helpful. Jack (in Beijing), in particular, was exemplary in friendliness and helpfulness.

We also have a couple other minor comments. The cruise ship had very little and usually no Internet connection, which was frustrating. On the other hand, the cruise manager kindly asked us about any dietary restrictions and made sure we had food that met our requirements. Likewise, two of the tour guides understood that we only eat halal meat and took us to a halal restaurant for lunch -- this unexpected consideration was highly appreciated. (This is a very important service for most of your future Middle-Eastern guests!!)

Thank you, Mr. Wonder Wang, for your professional communication and friendly assistance throughout this experience,

Sincerely,

Yaser

Hi Wonder,

the trip was great. Thank you for arranging it so nicely.

Achyut

Hi Wonder,

It was a lovely trip.

Oliver and our driver were so helpful and my mom and I really enjoyed the seeing Beijing and learning more of Chinese culture and history.

Is there a form I can fill out later about my experience? I want to write a great review for Oliver!

Good evening Wonder,

The tour was better than expected. Although the drive was pretty long, but Jason and the driver were very helpful and took care of us throughout the entire trip. Thanks

Hi Wonder,

Yes, it was a little unfortunate. But Jack handled it very well, he gave us good advice re how to navigate the Forbidden City, and met us at the Exit Gate. The lunch was very welcomed and we appreciate the gesture.

Heading home shortly. The trip was excellent. Jack and are driver were superb.

I definitely will leave good reviews. Ellen was also a very professional, kind and knowledgeable guide, I couldn't have wished for a better one.

Many thanks for arranging the trip, we will recommend it to family and friends.

Kind regards,

Hello Tracy, dear China discovery team,

1. My travel consultant, Tracy, was very fast and patient and very kind to answer my questions.

2. The arrangements have been done, in the way we prefered, to our satisfaction.

3. Yes, I would recommend your service to friends.

4. General opinion is that it is quite expensive to book a tour, but it is also worth it. Specially for foreigners who don't speak or read Chinese language. China discovery did a good job to arrange things in a proper and convenient way, listening to clients wishes.

5. No Suggestions

6. You are allowed to use my comments and pictures.

Kind regards

Hello,

of course, everything was to our satisfaction. Liked the guide and the driver and the hotel was nice. Magnificient scenery with the mountains.

Hi Wonder,

We've had great time in Guilin, please accept our sincere gratitude for your services!

Hello Wonder,

Yes, we are back home. We had a great time. My favorite part was the service, especially. The English-speaking staff. They worked really hard to make our trip enjoyable. We upgraded (ship was not full) to an executive floor. That was a good decision.

The tours, were interesting, even. If the weather did not always cooperate.

Food-wise, I really appreciated the excellent coffee and the quality of the red wine!

We will be sure to recommend you to others. Thank you.

Good evening Wonder,

Everything is perfect! We are very exited here and Mr. Andy is really profesional and very nice man.

Hi Wonder,

We are safely back in Guangzhou. Wonderful experience. All the planned events were highlights and the little extra side trips were a plus. Thank you for all your careful planning.

Wonder!

Thank you!! For your great support!!!! This trip was magic!!! The restaurant, the flowers, the cake and the hotel were excellent!! I enjoyed this trip and will treasure in my memories forever!!

Good morning Wonder!

You did a great job assisting and always got back to me in time with questions and queries. Also, you were available during my holiday as well. I contacted you over possible flight changes and gave some great advice that helped me save a lot of money. So all in all I am very happy with the service I got.

Good evening Wonder,

We finished our tour this afternoon. Thank you for organizing it for us. Both, driver & guide were great. The driver had a great knowledge of the roads, and we were able to combing using highways and local roads to avoid most tunnels. I will definitely recommend you to my friends. Thanks again.

Hi Wonder,

thanks again for arranging our trip, we had a nice time! Kevin was great, the driver…sceneries,hotels…foodI will definitely recommend China Discovery to my friends.

Hi Wonder,

It was very good, Wonder! Thank you.

Guide Lee was truly amazing- perfect English, great attitude and sense of humor! The car and the driver also on a great level! No complaints from my side。

Dear Wonder,

Thank you so much for your assistance with our recent trip to Harbin! Please see our written feedback below:

Our family had the pleasure of working with Mr. Wonder, who assisted us in a trip to Harbin from Dec.26-29, 2022. Mr. Wonder helped generate an attractive itinerary the same day we requested and even made alterations to it so that it aligned with our requests.

Having never traveled to NE China before, Mr. Wonder made sure we had lots to do and explore during our 3 nights-2 days trip. It was the perfect amount of time to explore a variety of activities with our young family, including the following: Central Street, a traditional Harbin lunch, Songhua Ice Activities, Sun Island Ice Sculptures, Cable Car over the Songhua River, and last but not least, the Ice and Snow World! Due to the pandemic, there were a couple attractions that were closed, including the Volga Manor and Siberian Tiger Park, but Mr. Wonder made sure we had plenty to do and advised us as to what alternative activities could fill our time and be just as meaningful.

Throughout our initial booking, travel experience, and arrival back home, Mr. Wonder was consistently available and responsive to any questions or requests that we had and always gave timely responses. We look forward to working with him again in the near future as he helps us explore the many sites and wonders of China.

Hi Wonder,

It was great. I really enjoyed it!

Karen

Hi Wonder,

The trip was marvelous. We have really enjoyed!

Greg

Hi Wonder,

It was a wonderful trip! Thank you for everything Wonder. Can’t wait to go on another one

Andrew

Hi, good evening Wonder,

trip was fine..although we could'nt see wild goose pagoda and the musoleneum..the wall and old city part were great.

Roy

Hello Wonder,

we had a very nice cruise and I will send you more feedback by E-mail. Talk to you soon!

Axel

Hi Wonder,

I realized I never really sent my comments on the trip. Overall, we had a fabulous time and we were so lucky that we had no COVID restrictions during our travels. Gulnur and Jackie were particularly good guides- I’d recommend them again. We also really liked the hotels in Turpan and Dunhuang. (The one in Urumqi was less comfortable, but fine) Dunhuang was the star stop for us. Loved Mogao grottoes, was a great anniversary. The only site we would have skipped was the grasslands near Zhangye. With current COVID changes, there’s really not much to do there right now. I understand that normally you can ride horses and do other things. Anyway, thanks again for a great trip!

Lisa

Hi Wonder,

Good evening! The cruise is good. Today was the the 小小三峡 tour (optional), very good so far so good thanks! Yes, we met a family, they bought the same tour through different agent. And once they heard that my tour is cheaper comparing to theirs asked for your wechat happy to introduce! I also shared with some other colleagues, for their future reference. The room is good. We only upgraded from 2nd floor to 3rd floor and paid additional 300 rmb. Which is fine

Alexander

Hi Wonder,

Really lovely time, Beautiful, relaxing place.

Kristin

Hello Wonder,

we stayed in Xian for a few days so that’s us just back. Sure I’d be glad to do a review for you. I just wanted to say that we had the most amazing time. Our guides Nancy and Jackie and especially our Driver Mr Zhongming were truly exceptional. I’ll put it all in my review but just wanted you to know how honestly great they were. We really felt like they were our friends and not just our guides. Thanks for helping us plan an amazing adventure

Federico

Wonder,

Glad to know we left Urumqi safely and on time, thanks for all your help!! This trip was indeed fun.. Will surely suggest to others.

Mahi

Wonder,

I must say the hotel is much better compared to Crowne. Better rooms and atmosphere. But for anyone who wants to be close to the town center, Crowne would be a better choice.

Korcan

Wonder,

our trip was great. We appreciate how you kept ahead of the Covid situation for us and managed all of the changes. We had a great time and we might need to come back to see the things we missed because of Covid! Jeremey was wonderful. There are not enough good things to say about him.

Christa

Good Morning Wonder,

Our trip in Huangshan mountain was amazing. My little baby was so happy. our guide was very good. We enjoyed a lot to see the sunset and sunrise.

Ana

Hello Wonder,

the trip is going good. Our guide is magnificent and we are enjoying ourselves.

Violet

Hey Wonder.

I had an amazing time on the trip. The tour guides and drivers were amazing. Mohammed for the first 3 days in Kashgar was an amazing tour guide. He was charismatic and very knowlegeable with lots of interesting stories to tell. I think he is a very good guide. Very organised trip and the hotel in Urumqi was fantastic. Can you pass on my good feedback about Mohammed to the company. Everyone in my group really liked him as our guide

Emma

Wonder,

Wonder, everything was great!! Thanks for all the arrangements .

Juan

Wonder,

I had an excellent trip. The guide and driver were very accommodating and the sites were fantastic overall. The one issue was with COVID testing and safety, but that was beyond the control of your agency. In fact, I appreciate that the guide and driver went out of their way to help take me to hospitals to follow COVID protocols. I can provide more details on each site later.

Alex

Hi Wonder,

here is a quick review of our tour on Victory Jenna.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for your time and effort in selecting and booking the most appropriate tour, then cancelling due to schedule issues, rebooking, then cancelling and rebooking due to COVID issues! You also alerted us to the need for province-specific health codes and pre-embarkation testing, and kept in touch during the cruise.

On arrival, we decided to upgrade our cabins to the 5th floor suites. We also upgraded our meals to the 6th floor dining room. As a result, we had a genuinely 5-star cruise experience. The staff and crew were welcoming and friendly, most of them spoke English, and the service was impeccable. The food was varied and delicious. The standard of cleanliness and hygiene in all areas was very high.

The included excursion to the Three Gorges Dam was not very interesting for me, although the optional trip in the ship lift was a great experience. We all enjoyed the ferry trip up the shennong stream. Unfortunately, foreigners could not join any other optional excursions because they needed a COVID test within 24 hours, which was impossible once on the boat. This meant more time spent on a stationary ship than I would have chosen.

The evening entertainment program was just the staff and crew having to get on stage after a long day's work. They did a great job, and it was fun, but I think the evening program is very much oversold.

I would say early in the season, with 50% occupancy and the option of cheap upgrades, this can be 5 stars. In a regular room on a full ship, probably 3 stars.

Best wishes

Mark

Hi Wonder,

enzin is awesome. We are so happy with out trip so far. Thanks for organising it.

Sarah

Wonder,

The tour was great. Lee was terrific!

Kelly

Wonder,

I wanted to say the experience was absolutely exceptional. However, Nancy our tour guide made the service 100% better. She was dedicated to ensuring Kevin and I had the best experience. She is by far the best tour guide we ever had in China. We will recommend her to all our friends and would like for her to be our guide on our next adventure. Thank you for helping us in planning our trip and I look forward to working with your company again.

Kevin

Wonder,

We are on the way to our home now. Thanks for again very good tour. You were assisting very well.

Tamer

Good morning Wonder,

Your trip was very good. All my family enjoyed a lot. Guilin is a beautiful place. the guide and the driver were very nice too.

Ana

Hi Wonder,

Our trip to Chengdu was lovely. We had a great day with Jane visiting the pandas.

Kirsty

Hi Wonder,

we made it back to Shanghai. It was a great trip even with rain, COVID, and Sophie's personal issues.

Kristin

Hi Wonder,

We did quite a lot of research for travel agency before heading for our first trip to Lhasa, Tibet; since foreign travelers to Tibet have to purchase a tour. China Discovery did a great job in helping us get the Tibet Tourism Bureau permit, booking our train tickets from Xining, Qinghai Province, to Lhasa; and organizing a private Tibetan guide, Tenzin, and a driver, for our 5 days in Tibet. They also helped us with all Covid-19 safety measures and authorization requirements). Great sceneries and sites, especially Yamdrok Lake, Khambala pass (4800m), Potala Palace, Sera Monastery and Deprung Monastery. Our guide Tenzin spoke very well in English and was very helpful.

My suggestion: No need to visit Summer Palace; suggest organizing visit of Yack herd with Nomads in higher plateau and in Snow area. Otherwise, very good and Tenzin was excellent

Richard

Hi Wonder,

On January 7, we celebrated my birthday in Harbin to see the beautifully carved ice sculptures displayed on the river. It is spectacular and worth braving the minus 20 degrees C weather! Both day and night views were lovely, when it is lighted, the ice sculptures turned to a colorful fairyland! Reflects on how much work and resilience had been put into achieving this beautiful Ice and Snow World. My memories were enhanced with the carefully planned schedule with Wonder from China Discovery. We had a good guide and driver, both had ensured we stay warm. For those who are in China this is one of the must see and experience location. We had done Beijing, Xian, and Guilin also with Wonder which all very well customized to our requirement. We always had good drivers and tour guides. In Harbin, Helen or guide even brought heated sole pads to keep us warm and made an album of the day’s trip.

The other worthwhile visited are Siberian Tiger Park, Sun Island and definitely Volga Manor.

Emily

Hi Wonder,

It was great! Thank you!!!

Amos

Hi Wonder!

No problem we are back in Shanghai now. The trip was wonderful!

Kristin

Hi wonder.

We had an amazing day. Kevin was a really excellent guide. Everything was perfect. Thanks so much for arranging for us.

Kim and Philippe

Wonder,

The trip was really cool. The nature was breathtaking and it wasn’t crowded. Only the travel time was to short ;) all in all the driver did a great job. He drove really safe and improve his communication. The driver was kind and helped us in all situations. We can highly recommend him for travel. Our wish for the next travel could be more individual accommodations. We prefer more private homestay not so Hotels. The accommodations in the Mongolian Yurte and in the Russian Wooden House were amazing. Thanks for planning this great adventure . We are looking forward for the next travel with you on Christmas Time;) many greetings an thanks so much!

Anne

Hi Wonder!

Sorry, my phone was off for a while to conserve battery.

David was great in Chongqing, the cruise was perfect, great staff, very helpful, good food and good tours, and David the guide for the dam was really good too!

Lots of Davids on the trip!

Once we get settled back in SZ this weekend, I'll send you a message about some ideas for our next holidays to see if you can help. Generally, we're thinking of the Hot Springs, Snow City and Harbin around Christmas, and Tibet in our Spring break around the start of April.

Thank you so much for putting together a wonderful holiday for us!!

David

Dear Wonder,

We have enjoyed the time, thank you for the good organization. The hotels has been very good, the ship excellent. If there has been a problem, you and the guides found a good solution. My favorite impressions: the pandas, the night view from the ship to Chongqing, the view from the hill down to Chongqing.

Kerstin M.

Hey Wonder,

Everything was very good, yes. Thank you for that. I am also happy to provide recommendation on TripAdvisor.

Eleni

Hey Wonder,

Sorry for the late reply but the trip was awesome for us! I think we both had a good time. The only thing I wish that maybe was different was the grasslands, we thought we’d see more sparse land rather than an organized villa kind of thing. Otherwise the rest of the trip was great, our driver was awesome and timely and Herry was also super sweet and got everything organized perfectly for us! We really got to know him. Thanks!

A friend of mine wants to book Inner Mongolia, so I’d like to share your contact. Can you add me back?

Aleia

Hi Wonder,

we are safely on the train back to Nanjing. Thank you for creating a holiday that has been full of memories that will last a life time. We have had an amazing journey. Most importantly your attention to detail, experience and diligence has given Gerry and I peace of mind. You have been wonderful.

Gillian

Hi Wonder.

Dali is doing good and we will be taking the train this evening to Kunming. Want to keep you informed that the hotel in Dali was the best and it is very good. You should recommend your guests more to this type of hotel.

For our tomorrow's flight to Shenzhen, requesting you to block our two seats in the front row (one window and one middle next to each other). Thanks.

GM. We are at present in the stone forest. FYI, the hotel in Kunming was very good How are the arrangements for the flight..: hope no more changes.

Gd eve. Just got into taxi and on our way home. Everything was smooth. Thanks for everything. Will get I. Touch with you next week for upcoming October holiday to Tibet, if situation is good.

The trip was wonderful Wonderful. Thanks for making good arrangements and hotels.

Only one negative is the hotel in Lijiang which is not considered a boutique hotel but a bed and breakfast type suitable for backpackers and youngsters! We had a tough time climbing up and down foe 3 days in that place!!

Hi Wonder,

The tour itself was good many beautiful sights. The first week in August is not the best time due to high temperature and heatwave. I am sure if we done this in spring or autumn even winter would be even more spectacular. Overall we had a wonderful trip one with memorable and captivating sceneries. Amazing views from the glass skywalk and bridge. I would strongly recommend that Guilin and Yangshuo are must see in China. And appreciate you provided the information and tour. Although improvement can be made to ticketing which should be prebooked and paid instead of collecting the tickets on site. Fortunately there were no queues in most of the sights. Can’t imagine the waiting time if we need to pick up tickets at every sight including the cruise. Would have been great if all tickets were online and sent to us before hand like air ticket. I understand in some sights this is not possible cos we are expected to buy the tickets when we are there. Not very convenient, perhaps the tourist organisation can suggest to these sights to ease queues through online bookings and allow visitors to scan their passes upon arrival. Ideally skip the queue. Though this time there is no queue since it is not national holiday.

Emily

Hi Wonder,

Good afternoon. We are at the Dali train station now. We just wanted to share with you that our driver for our trip was amazing! We highly recommend her. She went above and beyond to help us.

Timothy

Hi Wonder,

The trip to Xiamen was very good. We are planning another trip to to Fujian. Could you help us to arrange it?

Markus

Hi Wonder,

Despite bad experience which we had on arriving yichang but the cruise was perfect and the people are so nice on board of vessel, they are very kind and helpful and thanks for your arranging such nice experience for us however let us forget about flight cancellation which was beyond our control.

Please send our grateful message to ship owner for having such a honorable staff/officers on board of vessel, I have traveled lots of part of the world with different nationalities and 5 star hotels but these people service and being kind is memorable.

Hassan

Hi Wonder,

Yes it was great … we had a camel ride in the evening and enjoyed the Sunset on a big dune … had a good sleep and climbed the Mountain to see the sunrise this morning ! Was a Good decision to change the hotel …. More convenient ;) we are back in the Little town and wait for our driver to Zhangye to get our rental car … Thnx!

The transfer to Zhangye is not so great … better I would have taken the rental car and go on y own … the driver in the desert was very Good!

Oliver

Hi Wonder,

All went well today. Thank you.

Nichole

Hello Wonder,

I wanted to let you know that Bree was absolutely amazing as a guide! Her cheerfulness and accommodations were amazing!! Highly recommend her in the future!

Elisabeth

Hi Wonder,

Cruise is spectacular. Love it!

Virginia

Hi Wonder,

The cruise was excellent thanks. We had a great time!

Michael

Hi Wonder,

This was a very good hotel. Other guests might like it. Right on the water edge, it is quiet and can hear the lake sounds in the room. Easy to walk into the town.

This one is called Fancy's Little Kitchen, and is Naxi cooking. It is in English, French or Chinese and is in a nice kitchen. Some of your future guests might enjoy. We really liked both cooking experiences. Our son loved cooking in the Bai house and learning about the three teas.

Stephen

Hi Wonder,

The cruise was wonderful. I have no complaints. The chef was accommodating and all the staff were friendly and helpful.

I would be interested in another cruise in the future. What other cruises are offered in China?

Heather

Hi Wonder,

We are having a great time. Steven is very helpful with everything! We loved the monkeys and are happy to see Tiger Leaping Gorge tomorrow.

Regina

Hello Wonder,

The cruise was wonderful. It only rained for about 10 minutes, and not very heavy.

Logan

Hi Wonder,

We are back home now after a wonderful trip. Thanks so much for organising. Could you email me a fapio for the cost of the trip? Many thanks.

I will definately recommend your service on trip advisor.

Stephen

Hello Wonder,

It was a good experience. The cruise manager was excellent and communicated well with us.

Justin

It was a great trip. I’ll also write a review.

Erin

Hello Wonder,

We enjoyed the cruise very much! Everything was perfect. The ship is very comfortable, the staff of the cruise is very thoughtful, helpful, polite. Everything was organized very well. EVerything was on time, on schedule, there were no troubles at all. We cold relax and just follow the agenda. Even though we had only 4 foregners on the ship, everything was duplicated in English for us - all the excursions, all the announcemenst, all the notices - the stuff was taking really good care of us. I really can not think even of 1 complaint. The views were just breathtaking, we took so many pictures! We will definetely do it again in autumn - winter, and probably for a longer period. You also were very helpful and made our choice and booking very easy and without trouble. Thank you a lot! I already recommended this trip to my all friends an colleagues.

Yana

Hi Wonder, back to Shanghai, it was an amazing trip, and the driver is just a great guy who really help us from the beginning to the end. Thank you for everything.

Here is my review about the trip to Guilin, it’s just our point of view so there is nothing bad about what I will say.

At first we had an amazing driver, friendly and always helping us for everything, and very good and safe drive.

Day one was great, not really a lot of things to see or do in Huangluo Yao village, but it’s ok, by the way the restaurant the driver bring us there was very great, best Chinese food we had in China. Ping’an Village is just wonderful, walking in the middle of the rice terrace with an amazing view was perfect. The hotel was nice too (sorry to disturb you this day, but after I realize the woman playing with a kid on the terrace was working for the hotel, at the beginning I thought she was a client), by the way, it was great, she really took care of us, and again excellent food, the view from the room is great too.

Day two was great too, thousand layer terraces is a place to see, and the cable car is very useful, Ping An is better cause we really are in the middle of the rice terrace with all the farmer around, it’s really local, 1000 terrace is more for the view and we really enjoyed it.

Visit of the Tea farmer was interesting.

Then back in Guilin, we went to the city to the pedestrian street near a lake with two beautiful towers, and also went to a park near a hill. Guilin is a nice city but it stays a city, the hotel was great too, but all was a little bit too much “metropole”. I think it should be better to stay in a more local place like small village close from Mopanshan. Nothing bad about this Wonder, but we come from Shanghai who is a big city, and when we go out from a city it’s nice to be in the country side. The hotel was perfect too, but it’s the kind of hotel I go during some business trips, by the way we know Guilin now.

Day 3 was very very very great, the cruise is amazing, the bamboo boat very great too and the country side of Yangshuo is just wow, so beautiful, we have rented a motorbike from the hotel and wend around in the afternoon, just beautiful, we really enjoyed. The hotel was perfect too, all the staff speak English and are very friendly. In the restaurant, Chinese and Western food was nice too, in the evening we went to see a show in Yangshuo, they knew we should come back late and they manage everything so serve us after 10pm. Very great hotel with a so beautiful view. This is the point, at the hotel at Ping An village or Yangshuo, in the evening we can enjoy the view from outside on the balcony of the room, drinking a glass and smoke a cigarette, it’s just empty out mind and we really enjoy this moment, thing we cannot do in Guilin for example.

Day 4, back to Guilin and go to Elephant Hill, it’s just a park like the 100 parks we have in Shanghai, nothing special to see, especially after seeing the rice terraces around Ping An and the beautiful landscape from Li River and Yangshuo. Reed Flute cave was just wow too, so so beautiful, that was the first time in my life I saw a so beautiful cave, really love it.

This trip was the best one we did in China, we both love it, just wish to have one more day in Yangshuo. If I need to give a note I will give 9/10, Thank for your great work.

Hi Wonder,

We are at the train station now. We all have had a wonderful journey to Inner Mongolia. You organised everything I asked for and Tom and Sky were excellent. We have eaten amazing food and stayed in wonderful hotels. I certainly would give your company 10/10! Thank you.

We all said that we could not have asked for a better organiser. You did everything we asked and we are all going to be passing your name along. Thank you. I have learned so much.

Hi Wonder,

The trip to Xian and Luoyang was great. It helped us to know what to expect on the long trip and what to prepare. Excellent: drivers, guides & tours. The arrangements were efficient and timings good. We enjoyed the balance between tours and rest. The hotels were good. Only 1 disappointment: we could not keep the entry tickets to the Warriors. Kai explained the reason but I wish we had known. Those tickets were important souvenirs for us so we would have paid to avoid Kai having to use the ticket to claim the expense. Thoughts for the next trip: we will need the guides help to get food for the meals not catered for in the trip. For example, on the river cruise where can we buy food/snacks? Will there be a shop and restaurants on board? Will all the hotels have a kettle to boil water? And finally, could you tell me if any of the hotels have a swimming pool or gym facilities? These are not essential so it's ok if not but we will pack according.

Gillian

Hi Wonder,

Yes, we had a wonderful trip. Very good guide!

The trip was superb and the driver excellent.

Feedback from Gabriella:

Thank you Wonder! We had a wonderful trip!

Feedback from Anne:

Thanks for the kind present. We had a great trip indeed, Alex was a wonderful guide and everything was well arranged. We had some minor feedback on the hotel (no AC) but other than that: it's great.

Thanks Wonder for checking.

All was good.

Hi Wonder,

The Victoria Jenna was great! The facilities were better than expected, the food was good and the staff were very friendly! We ended up upgrading our rooms when we boarded because the offer not too bad for a much bigger room. The itinerary I felt was a tad too much as we were expecting a more leisurely time; it felt like the cruise was trying too hard to fill every last minute with something to do (from 6:30am)! 

In terms of excursions, the Three Kingdoms show was the best, the Shuanggui Hill was not worth it, we didn't bother joining the White Emperor City, the cruise through Gorges had nice views with good commentary, the Godess Stream was also below par, and the ship lift at the Three Gorges Dam was interesting, but not the short tour afterwards.

The so called "captain's farewell banquet" was really just dinner with the captain and crew saying a few words at the start. You should remove any references to dress codes because it wasn't necessary nor suitable.

Overall, it was worth doing it and we're glad we did it with Victoria cruises. The Jenna was refitted in 2018, which is one of the oldest to having a redecoration, so I'm wondering what the newer ones that got refitted in 2019 and 2020 would be like!

Finally, thank you for the quick responses and all the help you've given us -- really appreciate it!

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Whan

Hi Wonder,

It was great. I really enjoyed it. Jack was wonderful. We really loved how accommodating he was. We randomly asked to go to a tea shop and he helped translate all our questions so well. He also helped us get a random horse ride while we were in the village to a beautiful lake we didnt know was there. I really enjoyed the embroidery museum as well.

Hello Wonder,

The Cruise has been great.

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip Wonder.

Alex was fantastic!!!

hi Wonder,

The trip was in general quite ok despite bad weather. Thanks for your help. I already shared your contact to a friend, Tamer, hope you can also help him.

Hi Wonder,

Here is my feedback.

1. Is your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions? Yes.

2. How do you comment your tour arrangements? Very Good.

3. Are you willing to recommend our service to your people who also have an interest to visit China? Yes.

4. Your general opinion on us? Honest effort with a good service.

5. Do you have any suggestions on improving our services? Service is fairly okay. We are satisfied. May be you need to find good Hotels with continental breakfast. The hotels you book are good but mainly Chinese flavor. Continental option is less.

6. I guess the breakfast in the hotel of Guilin is much better than the one in Yangshuo? Or they're very similar?

 In fact they are similar. And the hotel at yangshuo is better as there was bread--butter. We had not much problem as we like Chinese food. But in general you have to be careful for others at least. Like the Xiamen hotel Sheraton---that has good blend of continental and Chinese.

7. Can we use your comments of our service, the photos or other images that you took on the tour for our websites, brochures, marketing and publicity? If yes, could you please send us some of your photos by E-mail? Yes. I will send some photos through e mail.

8. We sometimes have requests from potential customers who would like to inquire from or our ex-customers. May they contact you for advices?          Yes. No issue.

Jen: It was great, they went out of their way to take care of us. The food was delicious and the scenery was beautiful.

Yevgen: It was great, thank you so much for organizing it! I will recommend you to anyone who asks :)

Hi Wonder,

I really enjoyed the cruise very much. The staff was very lovely, attentive and fluent in English. Excellent service!

The boat itself, food on board and excursions all met my expectations.

Many thanks for helping organize this

Juliane

Hi Wonder,

Yes, good organization, nice trip.

Hi Wonder,

Our trip has ended and it’s time to complete the evaluation form.

We found China Discovery on line while looking for a reputable company in China to plan our holiday.

After contacting Mr Wonder Wang ( through online email and WeChat ) we found his level of support, information, communication, patience and understanding to be very professional. He was quick to respond to all our questions and accommodating in all our requests.

The tour arrangements were to our liking. Wonder worked closely with us to determine our touring preferences. The transport schedule was not too strenuous, the tours we encountered were interesting and our accommodation was to the most very comfortable.

As far as recommending China Discovery, we would be happy to introduce anyone keen in touring China to this company.

Our tour was conducted in the early part of the year under the curtain of COVID and in the midst of Chinese New Year. Wonder and the guides helped us with all our medical requirements and arrangements and a holiday that could have been disjointed flowed with out any problems.

Wonder gave us contacts to all our guides and they were accessible and helpful.

The drivers who accompanied the guides were also friendly and safe.

The guides were all good - supportive, jovial, attentive and knowledgeable.

The best in our opinion were May, Michael and Steven.

Our accommodation The Gran Melia was very good in Xian and the nearby area was interesting to explore by foot in our free time - the park area across the street from our accommodation and Grand Tang Mall nearby.

The Sofitel in Chengdu was comfortable, the breakfasts were wonderful and the assistance we received from their restaurant manager for dinner one evening was exceptional. The only negative was that the hotel was a little dated.

Our stay in Le Meridien Emei Mountain Resort was very nice.

Our stay in Old Town Lijiang at The Ivy Garden was located well. The hotel had a traditional appeal. We arrived at night so we were surprised at how cold the room was. There was a heater on but not adequate and extra linen should have been available.  There was no choice given for breakfast and it was not to our liking.

The Gurong Boutique was very comfortable and breakfast was minimal but nice.

The Cachet Hotel in Kunming was kind enough to change our room because of ‘smoke odour‘ and it appeared to be an upgrade.

Their kitchen staff were helpful and made us a basic breakfast pack to take on the fast train to Guilin.

The Shangri-La in Guilin was a wonderful stay with a beautiful view. The breakfast and dinner selections were vast and very tasty.

The Amari in Yangshuo was comfortable and well placed. The small ‘fairground attraction’ outside our window was slightly noisy up till about midnight.

All in all, the entire trip was an amazing experience we both enjoyed immensely.

We found it helpful when the guides would initially state what our plans were for the day ahead and go through the itinerary so we were reminded and understood.

Occasionally we did not do something on the schedule and it wasn’t clearly explained to us why not, for example the Pearl Museum and also the option we had to make a terracotta soldier.

We understand that some venues were closed because of COVID / Chinese New Year and in these cases we were informed and alternative arrangements were made.

We were blessed with good weather, good organisation, wonderful guides, good drivers and a beautiful and interesting country to explore.

Thank you to Wonder and your diverse team, we would definitely look at using your company’s services in the future.

Kind Regards

Mario and Angela Crivelli.

Good morning Wonder.

Sorry I didn't reply you earlier. I forgot it.

It has been a very nice trip. Selina did a very nice job. Too bad the weather wasn't that good on the mountain, but it was very nice anyway.

Hello Wonder!

I am so very sorry for taking so long to get back to you!  It was such a busy week last week, that every time I sat down to write to you, I kept getting distracted and having to focus on something 

So, first, it was a wonderful trip!  Of course, we wished that COVID didn't interrupt some of our itinerary.   . . . but even with the pop-up-health-concerns in Beijing, we felt very well taken care of.  We really appreciated the fact you frequently checked in and kept us updated.  In addition, we believe Linda was probably the best person to be on a tour with during a health scare, because she took care of us like we were her little kids.  :)   In English, I told her I felt like she was our "mother hen," always making sure we were taken care of!  She also always picked THE BEST food.  One could tell that she has had a number of western tourists before, because she also always tried to find food that not only represented Beijing, but that would also fit with our western palate. :)  

Also, when we went to the Great Wall, we completely lucked out: there was no one there!  For a great part of it, it was as if the Great Wall was our own private wall! :)  Definitely amazing.  Definitely memorable.  Many of the tourist sites were like that: due to COVID fears and the cold, they were nearly empty.  For the western tourist, the emptiness made the tourist sites even more memorable.  :)   Linda provided great context.   It was very cold, but Linda was a trooper -- always trying to make sure we saw what we wanted to see!  

I will say, even the Beijing Public Hospital, despite being a very busy hospital, went fairly smoothly, all things considered.  So, hey, now we can mark that off our list of things we have done in China. :) 

Hotel was nice, but due to Covid, many of the amenities were shut down.  Breakfast was superb, though! :)  Also, Mark and I were trying to be safety cautious, so we did not explore outside the hotel much. There was a lot of extra app scrutiny, which I'm sure you can imagine.  Also, people seemed very nervous. 

Linda also stayed with us all the way until we boarded the train.  She was very thoughtful and considerate.  Our driver (Mr. Lee), was also very kind and considerate during the entire trip.  He was very quiet, but we felt like we were safe in his hands. 

Bruce, in Xi'an, was also fantastic.  Such a different personality, but perfect for Xi'an.  He was enthusiastic about history (great for Mark), and had a passion for the food in the Muslim Quarter (great for me!).  You know, one day, your company should consider incorporating a food tour in Xi'an.  The food is so different than anywhere we've been in China . . . and so tasty!  In a way, I bet Bruce could run the food tour!  By the way, riding the bikes on the wall was a nice extra touch.  We didn't expect that!  Thank you for arranging.  Mark and I would have never thought we would have enjoyed it so much, but we definitely did!  It was also fairly empty. . . and with the sun setting, it was quite magical. 

Sheraton in Xi'an was also a very nice place to stay.  Great choice! :)   

We really enjoyed ourselves, Wonder.  Thank you for picking great tour guides, checking in, adjusting our itinerary, and making sure everything worked smoothly.  In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much that Mark and I have already started thinking of our next trip!  

Mark and I will have some additional leave coming up in May.  Mark has gotten approval, but I haven't yet.  Either way, we are thinking of a fairly large trip, that would at least include Chengdu (definitely including food-related itinerary) and part of the silk road (the Qinghai to Gansu trip).  I particularly am interested in the grottoes and the desert.  As we get more details/approvals to take leave, we will let you know.  Of course, we will want to work with you, since you are our favorite tour organizer! :) 

Thanks for checking in!

Take care, 

Keena (and Mark)

Hello Wonder,

Our trip were very well. 

Harbin:

The driver who picked us in aeroport, the train and in our visited to city was fantastic. He drove very well and my family felt safe.

We liked all places we visited and the time we had in these place. The city is very clean and so different of Nanjing. We lliked the experience of food and the restaurant.

The guide was amazing and he have a good english.He explained a lot of facts of city very interesting and the place we visited. He gave space for we had good moments in family. It is very good. 

Yabuli:

The hotel Club Med for us was wonderful.

 I m going to talk the hotel by steps:

1- Bedroom:

The bedroon was very big with 2 individual beds for our children and a room for us with a big and confortable bed. The bathrooms were ok. It was very clean and with a lot of space to put our clothes. In the bedroom they have a smale space with a fridge, a cups to drink coffee, tea and bottles of water. we didn´t pay anything that we consumed in bedroom and everday they putted what was miss. All nigths they opened the bedroom and cleaned the garbage bins and offered some gifts(orange, cherries)

2- Food

 They have 2 restaurants one workes like buffet and another workes in the evening with hotpot dinner that we need to booking. We didnt try this restaurant because the buffet restaurant was so good and all time they have western food.

The buffet restaurant the food like I said was good and different everday. The problem of this restaurant was noise because were a lot of pleople there. In the evening of New Year they had a different menu with a lot of seafood and gourmet.

For adults they have a good wine and beer.

They have food all the time for the guest in the bar or in the restaurant that workes in the evening.

This is the hotel with all inclusive very good.

3- Animation and activities

The animation for the children were wonderfuly. They started at 8:30am and finished at 5:00pm. The children can lunch with staff or with parents.

The ski class for children start at 9am and they have like 2 hours in the morning and 2h in afternoon. If they don´t want making ski they play in the club med with staff and they can do climbing too.

For a 1^st January the kids staff prepared a show with the kids very nice.

For adults they have ioga class in the morning and afternoon, dance class, ski class and another activities.

The ski class some teachers speak a little bit of english and if they don´t speak someone translate for us or we saw the teacher to do ski and we can understand. I think it is easy for a foreign do ski in this class.

They have class for all pleople, they have a rent material good and if we prefer buy it is possible.

The hotel has been prepare for pleople don´t want to do ski and enjoy a relax moment in the mountain.

They have a club for families doing activities together they call amazing family.

All evenings they have a show or some activities for guests. 

In the evening new year they had fire works, a party and a show. In the first day of year like I said they did the children show and then they had a candyland to offer the guests.

4- Space

All space of hotel was clean, big, with a beautifull decoration and moderm style.

The swimming pool is big and it is nice have a good moments in jacuuzzi outside with snow and cold.

The gym is ok and they have a spa too. 

5- Language

It is easy to find someone that speak english. I think the hotel is for foreign pleople or chinese pleople who like the western style.

We liked a lot our holidays, we were able to relax and have a good moments in family.

I hope this description of hotel help you. If you need more informationa please contact me.

Best regards

Ana Oliveira

Hello Wonder

Kai is very nice. We liked him so much.

Good evening Wonder,

The trip was very nice.

Hi Wonder,

They were both great! You and your company are great!

Hi, every thing is fine;) the first days the weather was nice. Yesterday it was very foggy, but we did the hike and enjoyed so much, we have good clothes and then the weather doesn't matter;) the nature is breathtaking. The driver is very kind and the guide was very good. You did a great job. Thanks.

Hi Wonder,

Thanks for today! Everything went well!

Hi Wonder,

Very nice trip. Thank you for the great organization, all was very smooth, friendly tour guide, safe drive, nice hotels and tasty food

Hi Wonder,

The driver has been excellent

Hi Wonder,

All good, thanks!! Just finished the train and village visit!

Hi Wang,

All were perfect, thank you so much for your help. Hotel and staff were great and friendly. Room was great and service in club lounge perfect (afternoon tea, snack, breakfast,...)

Flowers and cake were prepared very well with fruits, wine, and also decoration. Was a great weekend, thank again.

Good evening Wonder!

The trip to Chongqing were great. The driver was good and the car clean and tidy. Perfect. Diana was also very good. Knowledgeable and willing to adapt to my wishes or needs. Very well experienced.

For further trip around China I will use your services for sure.

Hi Wonder

Tour guide Selina was really great, she was enthusiastic and friendly. Very knowledgable about HuangShan. Car was spacious, but we had to change vans frequently.

Hotel was okay, a little small on the mountain, but overall not bad. Understandable that it’s small. It was a lot of hard work for the people to bring hotels things up to the mountain.

We would suggest to add 宏村 to schedules next time. We thought it was really nice.

We were lucky because weather is nice. Restaurants Selina brought us to were all good. A lot of stairs on the mountains, but great trip overall.

Hi Wonder, I can answer to you that

1) you were very quickly answering and

2) very good guide and

3) I will recommend you to my friends.

Thanks a lot. And I really will recommend your service as it was very smooth.

Hi Wonder,

Thanks so much for your help and arranging the trip. Everything was perfect from start to finish and the drivers were all very good. I can't really suggest anything else really it went very smoothly considering it was a busy holiday. It was perfect.

Hello Wonder,

The cruise was nice. Food was good, staff was nice. We upgraded to a room on the 6 floor, so we used the private restaurant.

Hi Wonder,

Our trip around Guilin and Yangshuo was utterly amazing. We were expertly driven to the best scenic spots to take wonderful photographs of the breath-taking scenery.

Our local guide Kenny was very knowledgeable and funny. He was very easy to get along with (and has a great singing voice!). I only have high praise for his guidance and assistance. Both Kenny and our driver were extremely patient and I felt safe at every part of the journey. The hotels were adequate and authentic, and most importantly in prime locations to facilitate the tour. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Guangxi and heartedly recommend this tour to everyone not just photography lovers. Thank you and I hope to use your service again in the future.

Hi Wonder,

The tour was great. Driver and tour guide were nice and did their best despite sometimes the weather wasn't the best.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to you also!  I think I forgot to fill out the following survey.

Hello Wonder!

This email is a bit late, but it is the review email!  I just posted a review to tripadvisor.  I think it takes a day or two load (I think it gets reviewed), but this is what it says: 

"This is the second trip that my husband and I have taken with China Discovery, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Our first experience with China Discovery was a trip to Yunan Provice. This time, we went to Zhangjiajie in Hunan Provice.  Each time, our thoughtful travel consultant, Wonder, kept us informed about the process.  When we had questions, he answered them. If it required him to reach out to a tourist site to confirm information, he did. He kept us informed of various travel requirements, weather conditions, etc. I feel very comfortable and confident planning my trips through Wonder, and my husband and I are planning additional trips with him as our travel consultant in the future.

Each time we have gone on a trip, we have loved the itinerary, the food, and the experience. In addition, our guides' English has always been superb, and we enjoyed chatting with them to gain more cultural understanding of our environment.

In Yunan, Tom was our guide.  We went to the Yuanyang Rice terraces and surrounding areas of Kunming. He was great!  Great conversationalist, great enthusiast for history and culture, and great guide. he even always made sure we had extra bottles of water.  We would highly recommend Tom.

As for Zhangjiajie specifically, it was great fun!  Our local guide, David, was fantastic.  At one point, when he realized we really did not like the crowds, he made a point to find quieter and more solitary locations that would still show us the splendor of Zhangjiajie.  Food choices were great.  He kept us to a schedule, but in a comfortable and appropriate way.  We really, thoroughly, enjoyed ourselves.  We would highly recommend David.

As you can tell, we had two totally different trips and both were highly successful.  Our experience with China Discovery has thus far been a completely wonderful experience and we hope to have more in the future." 

As for the China Discovery website, you are free to use the above review, or for variety, you can use the following.

"We recently went to Zhangjiajie and it was an amazing experience!  Wonder was our travel agent again -- I was so happy with my first trip with Wonder that I reached out to him again for this second trip!  Wonder took the time to answer questions, inform us about travel requirements, and ensure we had a wonderful time.  He patiently answered questions and gave us different quotes as the number of people and days of the trip changed.  The fact our second trip planned by Wonder was so great, that it gave me confidence and comfort to plan a third trip with Wonder, which will happen later this year.

In addition, our guide in Zhangjiajie, David, was fantastic. He made a point to ensure that in each event, we had every opportunity to enjoy ourselves.  At one point, he realized we did not like the crowds associated with the most popular lookout points in Zhangjiajie, so he made a point to take us to more quiet, solitary locations that still provided us with the splendor of the park. He took care of every entrance and made sure everything was as seamless as possible. It was amazing. His english was fantastic and he took the time to ask questions and listen to answers. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were very happy to have had David as our guide!" 

Also, I have some pictures for you!  They should be attached. You are free to use these on your website.  (They might have gone to the bottom of the email chain)

Thanks, Wonder!  We are looking forward to our upcoming Yunan trip also.  

take care

Good evening Wonder,

Sorry, I just saw your message. Our trip in Datong was very great. Everything was very good organized. I will send you a detail feedback on Monday. 

Thank you very much.
