Candy,
Thanks for helping us to coordinate our trip, it is one we will remember forever. I would like to tell you about a couple of issues we experienced on our trip. The trip was still wonderful but I feel it is important to bring the issues to your attention so that you know about my concerns. First, I explained in my correspondence that I was a strict vegan--by this I mean I do not eat any animal products at all. I found it difficult to get food that I could eat on the trip as most of the food, even the tofu, was flavored with meat or fish juices--even the tofu had bits of pork floating in the sauce. I was in the same tour as a vegetarian and she experienced the same issues. The guides did their best to help out but were not always able to convey the issues to the restaurant staff. This resulted in a less than stellar dining experience and the first 4 days I ate nothing but white rice and vegetables. Second, I found it surprising and very unappetizing to be served food in a restaurant that had dog ...more

Dear Hu,
While in Xi'an the most memorable attraction was the, of course, the terracotta warriors. I'm glad I was able to go on a Friday because there weren't very many people there. I wasn't expecting to be awed by the warriors, but when I walked into Pit #1 I was amazed. I didn't realize that each warrior is different, and the detail of the warriors is amazing! I only had one tour guide, and her name is Crystal. Crystal did a very good job and was very knowledgeable everywhere we went. She stated she hadn't been working for China Highlights very long, but I couldn't tell! She was very professional and did her best to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying my trip. I would recommend her to friends and family. The hotel I stayed in was great, much better than I was expecting for "tourist class." I was very comfortable the whole weekend and the international breakfast was great. The dumpling banquet was probably the best meal of the weekend. China Highlights does a great job and I would ...more

Hello Candy
We had a wonderful trip to China. I would be happy to share a few comments with you. We had 3 guides and 3 drivers; all different and all well educated in their factual history and very diligent in making our time well spent. The 2 guides China Highlights provided us were personable, welcoming, and accommodating to our wishes. Mark was responsible for telling us about one of our most memorable nights (thank goodness!), the show Impression Sanjie Liu. It was breathtaking! He also changed plans to include a raft ride down the river which we enjoyed. Staying overnight in Longsheng and the terraced rice fields was definitely a highlight of our trip, although the Pingan Inn very primitive. Perhaps there is another accommodation? Other accommodations; Guilin Bravo Hotel was fine; the Paradesa Resort was fine, the Meihua Goldentang International Hotel, although beautiful, was lacking in the service area. We had a washroom that had a horrible sewer pipe smell which they tried to address but ...more

Hi Jean,
The most memorable attraction was the Three Gorges, nice cruise ship, great scenery, although nothing on our itinerary disappointed Nancy Kim was our best guide, extremely friendly, very easy to talk to, knew a lot about all the attractions, always early and dependable. All of our guides were good and always on time, very well organised by China Highlights All hotels were fine, the ones in Xian and Wuhan were the best. Breakfast was generally disappointing with little choice and poor quality of European cuisine. The Golden Palm was a nice hotel, although buffet was disappointing and was generally set up for Russian guests. Definitely! Excellent tours, very dependable guides and drivers, perfectly organised. Very reasonable compared to European & American agents, although with greater knowledge I felt we could have saved a little more money or received a better class of hotel for the same Comments & suggestions written on each point. All attractions on our tours were good, although maybe not ...more

Hello Jean,
Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that our trip went wonderfully. Your staff at every location was on time, helpful and well prepared. We enjoyed each guide very much, especially Cheryl Chan in Xi'an, who made several accommodations for us. The only thing that wasn't exactly perfect was the Yangtze cruise ship. The good news was that there were only 60 passengers on board (capacity 224), so we had plenty of room, no crowds on the shore excursions, etc. The shipboard guide, Kathy, was great. On the downside, the cruise line GREATLY exaggerates the size of the rooms. The rooms are not even close to the square meters stated on the website. Maybe half. We had upgraded to a "business suite". What a joke…the room was the same size as the regular rooms but had a small couch crammed into it instead of two chairs! We ended up paying for the smaller Presidential suite on board (RMB6000 extra), so we were comfortable, but had I known earlier that we would have to pay this ...more
