Testimonials from Australia

Just like to say thank you Rebecca for all your help with our recent stay and tour of Xian. Everything was fantastic. From the beginning of contacting you with all the organisation, and then eventually we arrived, and our Guide – Helen and our driver were all fantastic. We had a wonderful visit to Xian and all of the 3 of you help make it so.
Thank you again Kathryn Lindsay

Dear Hu,
The Great Wall of China, as photos cannot capture its grandeur, its steepness or what lengths people would go to to protect their land. I only had 1 guide - Jeff and he was fabulous. He made my trip from great to fantastic. Jeff was very informative, accommodating, knowledgeable, had great communication skills and could really relate to me. Jeff ensured all my requests were accommodated, he really looked after me like a friend rather than a paid guide. Without him my time in Beijing would not have been as wonderful. I only stayed in 1 hotel and it met all my expectations and breakfast was great. I had only 1 lunch, whist the food was tasty and the service friendly, many of the plates and cups were chipped. Definitely, Michael was great organiser and everything worked out very well. I think the tour of old Beijing should be recommended to travellers. It provides an insight as to how others live.

Dear Grace,

We all had an absolutely wonderful time with Doris at Yellow Mountain.Please thank her again on our behalf.I will send to you a two pictures taken during our trip in another email. After our time with Doris we flew to Beijing and then joined another tour organised by an Australian company.This tour was also good although both Steve and I commented on how wonderful it was to experience a tour which was totally Chinese as we did with your company. Our Australian tour was with 4 Australian families and hence, much more western. Whilst our tour guide for this second trip was Chinese she did not know nearly as much about the Chinese culture, language and history as Doris did. Our two sons, Nicholas and Peter, along with myself, really enjoyed learning Mandarin from Doris - she taught us to count to 5 which was a considerabel achievement given we had no idea how to use our toungue to make the sounds.

Finally - I am sorry we both were not fully well. I had collected an upset stomach ...more

Hi Leon,
I just wanted to give you some extra feedback about the tours. They were all really well organised and we were very happy with the standard of vehicles, guides and drives. Two of the guides, in particular, were exceptional. Vivaldi (in Shanghai) was extremely knowledgeable, had excellent English skills, was very friendly and had so much energy and pride about each of the sights that it made the whole experience very enjoyable. He is a wonderful ambassador for Shanghai. ViVien (in Beijing) was also excellent. She was very considerate and gracious, spoke an excellent level of English, was very organised and made sure that every aspect of the tours ran smoothly. It was a very busy time with Golden week, but she managed to help us avoid the crowds and made us feel safe at all times. My family will all fondly remember our time in China thanks to these guides. Thanks very much for organising it all.
Kind regards, Patricia

Dear Leon
We have returned from the 7 Day Miao Minority Villages tour. It was a fantastic experience and we got to appreciate the life and culture of the Miao peoples. The tour guide, Liang Feng (Michael) was fantastic. His English was very good and we never had any difficulties speaking to him. He was a fantastic host. Our driver, Mr Yung was also a fantastic host and was an extremely good driver - we always felt entirely safe with his driving in all conditions we experienced. The places, sites and people that Liang Feng took us to were always great. We never experienced any difficulties. Even though Mr Yung's english was not as good as Michaels, he always communicated with us and was always happy to do anything we asked. I repeat that the two were fantastic hosts, and the tour was a fantastic experience. I would recommend the tour highly to anyone. Thank you for your efforts in arranging this tour for us.
