Testimonials from Canada

Dear Elaine,
I think we liked Guilin the most, but there is nothing that stands out. The Great Wall was wonderful, but everything was unique in its own way, so everything we saw was great! Each tour guide had their unique personalities, and we enjoyed each one for who they were. Herb and Lemon were the easiest to understand as their English was so good. Cherry's English is good, but we found it quite difficult to understand her as her accent is strong, and her voice is softer, so we could not hear her in the van very well. I think sometimes people stopped trying to hear, because it was too much work. Wallace is working on his English, but was easy to understand. There wasn't a question we asked, that Herb couldn't answer, and we had lots of them, as he was our first guide. He planned everything so well, and made smooth adjustments. We maybe could have spent a little more time at the Great Wall, but I don't know if that was feasible for him. Lemon knew everything there was to know about Shanghai, ...more

Hi Angela
We are back in Shanghai from our wonderful tour which you arranged for us! I wish to thank you and China Highlights for an excellent job of making our tour of China an event to remember. Your tour guides are the best we have ever had! In my questionnaire for you I have rated some of the tour sites as a 3, and I wish to make sure that the fact that the site was a 3 for us, this rating has nothing to do with the tour guide. They explained each site extremely well, the fault has nothing to do with their competence, but with the fact that the site was not very interesting to a foreign western person. I wanted to make sure that my comments on some sites was not a reflection on the tour guides. As I said previously they are the best that we have ever had, and I would want them again on any future tour of China. Thanks again to you and China Highlights Bernard Dilliott

Angela;
We had a good experience on the boat cruise. If I had to do it again I would arrange a transfer from the hotel or airport to the ship. We arrived on the dock in Chongqing and had a difficult time finding our way to the boat. We were also accosted by an army of escorts offering to carry our luggage. The cruise information said something about meeting at a “hall” but the person we called on the phone number only told us to come to the dock. Separately, the cruise company tried to up sell a suite; they did not appear to be aware of the arrangement whereby we were not to share a room for the third person in the party.

Hi Eva:

Attractions: Great wall and terracotta army are the most memorable attractions.

Guide: By far was Vivaldi, in Shanghai, for his flexibility, interest, his service, his conversation. He was very good.

Hotels and Meals: All of them were good

Hi Karen:

Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful trip we had and the wonderful job you did on organizing it for us. Everything went very smoothly.

Hotels: The hotels were wonderful and were more than a 3 star hotel....very spacious.

Tour Guides: Our guides and drivers were great. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the first guide when we arrived. The other 3 were Coffee, Xin and Linda. Xin was unbelievable and deserves a raise. Linda was also great and Coffee. One day my husband was sick and our agenda had to be changed and Xin was wonderful. She was a big help to my husband.

The cruise was out of this world and so were the views. Accomodations were great and the staff on the boat couldn't do enough for you. I would readily recommend your organization to anyone looking for a trip to China and we would not hesitate to book through you again, if we decide to do another trip. Thank you so much for your patience in ...more
