Dear Tracy Tan,
I am You Chew Lee, one of the Group of 12.
I specifically draw your attention to the above caption.
We had been given a total of 5 local tour guides, one male and the rest females.
I would like to write to put on record two of your best tour personnels in this China Tour 15 – 27 Oct 2024.
They are Amy leading us around Lijiang and Linda providing tour assistance in Xi’an.
I rate them favourably,
01. in their ability to relate to us ,
02. in their proficiency to speak clear and good English,
03. in their capability of looking after our safety, welfare, and care,
04. in their punctuality and,
05. In their passionate love and desire to provide us with well informed knowledge of the places we visited with great integrity and diligence.
I would appreciate it very much if you could use your good office to convey my gratitude of their great performance and service provided to us.

Dear Rita,
Comments on tour arrangement:
We have had a great time in the lovely and vibrant city of Chengdu. Everything in our travels worked out well. Thanks to China Discovery and the efficient planning and support from travel agent Rita, who had put together our customised private travel itinerary which was well paced and enjoyable. She had organized everything perfectly and resolved most of our concerns promptly. The Chengdu vacation was our second China tour organized by China Discovery. Hotel stays are of above average class and were conveniently located nearby commercial centers and ‘popular food outlets. Our guides and drivers were knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to our needs. The diverse natural beauty, landscapes and snow capped view at Jiuzhai and Mt. Emei were amazingly stunning and unforgettable.
We highly recommend China Discovery to all of those who are looking for comfort and a stress-free holiday arrangement. In fact,we are already planning for another trip to China in April 2025.

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.

Good morning Rita,
That’s excellent news, thank you! Evan is exceptional, his English conversational skills is top-notch, we are really enjoying his company. The next 2 days will be most enjoyable and memorable. Thanks so much, Rita.
No need to apologize for Danny, he wasn’t bad, I tipped him and the very nice driver, 小賈,as per your agency’s tipping guidelines. In contrast, Evan’s communication skills are extraordinary, even better than an English-language guide in Beijing who took us to 慕田峪及紫禁城和故宮博物館,we LOVE Evan!
Louie and I had a remarkable day with Evan, our driver, 小溫,is a safe, steady and cautious driver, the SUV is roomy and comfortable to ride in. I wish to thank you for: 1) lunch 2) upgrading our hotel to a 4-star establishment, and 3) the cute panda bear souvenirs and the fans. You’ve done an excellent job, coordinated our entire itinerary including logistics for the transfers. Well done! We’ll happily write a glowing review of our private tour with China Discovery, once we are back in Toronto, on October 3, 2024. Thank you again !

I am a repeat customer of China Discovery and was fortunate to have Evelyn Ma helping me. I had some challenges getting to Jiuzhaigou and Evelyn was able to help me even in the late evenings prior to my travel. My guide in Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou was Gao Jing and what a delight to have her as my guide. She is very attentive and knowledgeable of the two attractions. Most importantly, she is fit as a fiddle as we trekked over the scenic trails. Many thanks to both ladies.

Hello Rita,
Yes we are home safely after an enjoyable, busy 3 weeks travelling around China.
Thank you for putting together such an interesting tour. The time passed so quickly. Had we not been on a 3 week time line I would have added a rest day every 3-4 days. That would have been a good addition.
The hotels were all lovely. I liked those that had a bath best, because after an energetic day walking, one could soak the muscles and rest for a while.
We loved travelling in the trains. Thanks for organising the comfortable upgrades.
I am glad our guides met us at the stations & dropped us off though. The stations are huge and finding the right platform was made easier with the guides help.
We had minor problems.
1. Shanghai- There are 2 exits and we went to the wrong one. However we rang the guide and then we found one another.
2. Another, was when we missed the transit sign & walked the wrong way following the crowd. Fortunately Bruce noticed & helped us get to the right place so we could get the connecting train in time.
3. My seat was already taken on one of the trains. I was advised by the conductor to walk through the train to carriage 8, get off, and get on again. There were 2 trains joined together. I wasn’t sure if the train would wait for me as they only stop for a minute! Fortunately the staff were very helpful getting me off, and getting me on again. They seated me next to Bill.
The tourist attractions we visited were outstanding. Everything we saw was worthwhile. We loved the spectacular Stage Shows.
We loved the cruise. We made new friends, had a lot of shipboard fun. The concierge and other staff were lovely.
Our guides were friendly, helpful and really good company.
We are happy to see how well China is going with trains, stations , roads, housing. National Parks and environmental protection. Good job!
We would recommend your Tour Company should anyone ask . We were very happy with everything.
All being well, we will return to do the other half of the original trip.
Here are some happy photos from Our enjoyable time visiting China.
Yours sincerely.

Big thank you to you for arranging our trip. We have had so much fun!
Leshan trip was great. It is great that we opted for the boat ride or we wont be able to see the buddha in whole.Mount Emei was above amazing! We saw the sea of clouds on the first day and I can also view it from my room. Beautiful sunset then in the evening, we’ve got to see the ceremony arranged by the monks at the Golden Summit at the eve of buddha’s birthday!
Unfortunately, nature was not so kind to us the next day. We did not get to see the sunrise and decided not to go to Wanfoding as there just too much mist. I’m seriously thinking of going back to Mt. Emei just to view the sea of clouds from Wanfoding!!!
Sandy was super great and have done everything he can so that we have a great time.

Hi Rita,
Yes we enjoyed the tour. Langmusi and Ruoergai were pleasant surprises as they are not very well known to tourists outside China, even if they are ethnic Chinese.
My main comments on the arrangements are:
1. The driver was very skilful and thoughtful (even though the airport pickup was late, I suppose that was a miscommunication). You may have heard that at the last moment, Sichuan Air cancelled our flight from Jiuzhaigou to Chengdu. The driver was willing to drive us back to Chengdu and the price he charged was reasonable, especially since he had to drive back to Jiuzhaigou without any passengers.
2. I was hoping, however, that the car provided for the trip would be a bit bigger and more comfortable. My brother and I are used to travelling in SUVs whenever we go on private tours in China. But again, the driver was very good, and I suppose the car he had would have been his taxi.
3. The guide, Jerry, was okay. He likes to eat a lot! I think sometimes he is also a bit more concerned about taking routes that are less crowded. Maybe this works for some tourists but for my brother and I, we are photographers and videographers first and foremost. So getting the right pictures and videos may sometimes require us to take the more crowded route. We also need to pay attention to the lighting (顺光) because if the lighting is not suitable, the photos and videos just won't turn out that good.
You can see the videos I took here, they are all from drones: https://www.skypixel.com/videos/sichuan-from-the-sky-jiuzhaigou-huanglong-langmusi-ruoergai-waqie-huahu-huanghe

6 Days/ 5 nights Chengdu/ Jiuzhai Valley Tour
I went on a 6 days / 5 nights private tour to Chengdu / Jiuzhaigou in
October 2014.I spent 2 days in Chengdu and the rest in Jiuzhaigou valley.
Since it was my first trip to China and I was a single female traveller,
understandably, I was initially apprehensive before the tour. However, all my
initial reservations disappeared once my tour began. I have decided to go on a
private tour because I could not find a group tour which can come up with the
itinery that I wanted.
From the onset, it was a pleasure to deal with Wonder. He made me a detailed
itinery, specific to my wishes , down to the hotels that I preferred. I must
say that he has honoured and stuck to our contract throughout my tour. He also
phoned my tour guides on a daily basis just to make sure the itinery went on as
planned and to make sure that I was ok.He was contactable at all times and any
problems were sorted out very quickly and efficiently. He was also very
accommodating and was willing to make changes in my itinery at very short
notice whenever possible.I have found him to be reliable and trustworthy.
The tour guides were all very professional and knowledgeable. I was very happy
with them.They spoke fluent English and were very knowledgeable about the
places that we visited. They took care of everything, from meeting me at the
airport, check- in into hotels, arranging for meals, transport, tickets for
shows and checking in for my return flights. I was impressed that they would go
out of their way to make my tour comfortable, hassle free and really tried to
give me a memorable hoilday. They were prepared to work till late evenings. As
a matter of fact, they would wait for me while I watched some shows in the
evenings and one of them was even so kind to buy me an adaptor which I had lost
in a hotel.
In Chengdu, I visited the Panda Research Centre, Jinli Street,Sichuan Museum
and a silk factory at my request. i was not obliged to visit any factories
throughout my tour.
Then, I flew on to Jiuzhai Valley and had another 3 days of private tours; 1
day in Huanglong Park and 2 full days in Jiuzhai National Park.I was glad that
I flew return to the valley because the roads up there are really winding and
being prone to travel sickness , it would have been a disaster for me to be
sick.
I was met by another tour guide there. I am really glad that I took a private
tour because I had my personal tour guide who walked with me at my pace
throughout the Jiuzhai National park. She knew all the scenic spots and
pathways by heart and made sure that I did not miss any important spots.Because
she knew all the places so well, we could cover most of the scenic spots on
foot in detail.She would walk with me and explain every lake, waterfall and
other spots. She explained in detail all about the history, myths, customs and
religion of the tribes there. It was an eye opener for me.I am sure I would not
be getting all these explanation if I had gone in a group tour.Most group tours
tend to be rushed but I was not rushed at all. I had ample time to take all the
photos that I wanted , time to have meals and some shopping for souveniers and
even short rests at beautiful spots where I could linger and just soak up the
magnificent natural beauty.
Jiuzhai Valley is an extraordinary , beautiful park. It is my personal opinion
that 2 full days are required to do the park justice. It is difficult to rush
through the scenic spots in a day especially when there are massive crowds and
queues everywhere.It was worth it to pay the hefty entrance fee for 2 days.
Because I had 2 full days, I could do a hike with my guide who accompanied me
throughout the trails to the 3 major valleys. I came away feeling satisfied and
had lots of marvellous photos to show.
I was especially pleased that on one occasion, my tour guide took me through a
small path , away from the tourist crowds. We walked at our pace and saw some
smaller lovely waterfalls and lakes. I did not have to jostle with the typical
crowds and could take my time to take some truly picturesque photos and videos.
I am convinced that if I had joined a group tour , I would not have been able
to see and explore the national park as much as I did.
My advice to travellers is to go on some fitness training before the tour. You
have to be prepared to do a lot of walking for this is the best way to see the
best views. Taking the bus to just the best scenic spots would be cheating and
would not do the park justice.The only downside of the trip was the crowds. Be
prepared for massive crowds, they can get unruly at times, especially when it
rains, so do bring a raincoat or umbrella.Also be prepared for the less than
ideal toilet facilities. Bring lots of tissues as handwash and tissues are not
provided.
Due to my excellent and friendly tour guides and Wonder's meticulous planning, I
had a fabulous holiday and a great time in China. I would highly recommend
Wonder Wang and his tour agency to all my friends and family. If I return to
China, I would certainly go through Wonder and his agency again. So, a big
thank you to Wonder and all my lovely tour guides for making my holiday a truly
memorable one!

Review of China Discovery
Our group of 7 toured 3 weeks across China from Shanghai to Tibet. It was to be the trip of a lifetime, and it was. In my due process to search for the best itinerary and TA for us, I found Leo Li of China Discovery. Compared to other top in-China TAs, CD and Leo Li gave me everything I wanted including the best price for the desired itinerary. None of us were strangers to China. I was born there and had been there 5 times since, while the others had toured the capital cities but never the remote regions of Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet.
We were always prompted met with a guide as soon as we left the airport security area; we were transported in clean mini-vans with plenty of bottled water. It was always door-to-door everytime. We would be dropped off at one end and after the tour, the mini-van would be waiting for us at the other end -- no backtracking. Nothing was ever stolen or missing in the secured vans. The many guides we met were always courteous and spoke varying degrees of fluency but always well-informed. One even held my wife's hand as she walked slowly on icy pathways in Huanglong National Park.
Their pricing was reasonable -- better than if I booked myself. We stayed in not only elegant country inns, but also at Pullman, Sofitel, Shangri-la, and Grand Hyatt.
I have nothing but praise for Leo and his team. He is easily accessible 24/7. That is really necessary in China. His English is flawless, his personality infectious. We met him in Chengdu. Ask for Leo Li.

As too was our visit to Jiuzhaigou valley as well as Juzhai forest parks.
We are home now and we had a great trip.
Thank you again for your help.

Dear Wonder,
First of all thanks for all the support we got in the past few months.
I am dropping this note just to let you know the trip to SiChuan was very nice, the hotels were great and the two guides did a wonderful job with us.
By the way, the guide Danny in JiuZhaiGou, he was one of the best guides I got in China! Please share this feedback with him and I do recommend you keep using his services for foreign people as his attitude is great. The same comments you can take for Melody our guide at ZhangJiaJie.
Best regards,
Arthur Campos

Hi Isabel,
thank you for organizing this trip for us. Overall we were very pleased with all elements of our vacation.
Here's what was great:
The food! Each province has such delicious local cuisine.
Huangshan, Mutianyu Great Wall, Jiuzhaigou, Yangtze River, Zhangjiajie, Li River and Longji Terraces were the highlights.
Momo, Shila, Waldner, and Alex were our favorite guides as all four had excellent English and great personalities. The 4 and 5 star hotels were nice and comfortable. The drivers/guides who would provide us with unlimited free bottles of water to drink each day.
Your helpfulness during the flight delays and cancellations was great appreciated. We'd certainly recommend your services to others. Looking forward to reviewing the thousands of photos we took and reliving our memories.

Hi Isabel,
Back to work in singapore, feel so tired. It was a great trip in sichuan last week. The scenery is fantastic and the guide is very accommodating. Was expecting jiuzhaigou to be very beautiful like what many singaporeans say but it was just alright and way too crowded and squeezy. In fact i felt that huang long and er mei shan was much nicer and peaceful as there are less people.
The hotels were great and our favorite is fraser suites whereby we slept very soundly. The guide is very nice and accompanied throughout our hike. The driver is a very cautious and good driver. It was a very pleasant experience as compared to my other private tour to xi'an and luoyang back in november.
Really appreciate the fact that you called to check on us when we were in Leshan. Your correspondence via email and call was great and recommendable. Really appreciate your help.
Regards
huihua
