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.

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

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!

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!

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

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,

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.

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,

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!

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

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,

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

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

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 1st 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.

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.

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.

You requested a review from me but I loaded to the wrong website. I came across the review today unexpectedly in my computer system and I would like to send it to you, to be used by your website. This is because I was very pleased by the trip that you organised for me. I was a lone female traveler but I still remember the lovely tour guides you found for me, especially the one at Chengdu.

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!

Hello Wonder!

Thank you so much for reaching out again!  And I was just about to write . As of yesterday afternoon, Mark and I finally received final confirmation that we will be allowed to take our leave, so now we can finally book our trip from 17 - 24 October!!  As soon as I send this email, I will look into the flights.  I will let you know if/when they are booked. 

Also, we were wondering: would it be possible to pay via our American Credit Card this time?  I know we normally do we-chat, but due to the amount this time (bigger/longer trip), it is easier for us to use credit-card.  We understand that there is a credit card fee. . .could you provide us with the final amount (including the fee)?  

Also, I think Mark and I would really enjoy the boutique hotels you chose for us.  Could we verify that those hotels are still available for our trip?  

And of course: I have really enjoyed working with you.  You provide excellent customer service and we believe the quality of the trips are wonderful.  My colleagues loved the trip to Zhangjiajie and I have told many of my colleagues about you/your company. 

Last question: would you recommend anywhere over the Christmas holiday to New Years (01 January)? 

Thank you, Wonder!

 

Look forward to hearing from you,

Hi Wonder,

Overall we had a great time. Mr She the driver in Xining/Chaka/Lanzhou was excellent (even saving us from a bad accident). He drove well and clearly knew the area. Making some great suggestions. The second driver, Mr Ma, was clearly not as experienced as a driver for tourists and did not have as good a standard of driving (though he was not bad). 

Local food. We have been in China 4 years and are keen to try different types of Chinese food. Sometimes the choices were very safe (of course this will be very dependent on who the customers are!)

The hotels were OK. If possible we would recommend a hotel like the Nirvana Hotel in Xiahe. Not because it was run by a foreigner - actually because it was smaller and with a bit of character. Though we recognise this won’t always be possible.

I hope this feedback helps. We do want to thank you for arranging the trip and understand that it was a challenge as we were late to book. We had a great time and saw some wonderful places. Both guides were great.

Oh - I forgot the camping. A little too basic, if I am honest. The equipment was a bit tired and it would have helped to have had more detail on what we could expect before we decided to go for it. I said to Gary that I think there is a gap in the market for some ‘glamping’ - camping with a bit more comfort!! The opportunity to sleep In the desert and see the stars was fabulous though!

Thank you once again and I will post a review on trip advisor.

Just for our planning purposes, we were wondering if you could give us some ideas?  For instance, we were happy to note that Guilin/Yangshuo is open to foreign tourists now.  What is the best time to visit the rice terraces and the Li River?   We have already seen (now) the "summer rice terraces/ green terraces," and we were hoping to see additional rice terraces at a completely different time/for a completely different "look."  

Also, when would the best time of the year be to visit Dali and surrounding areas?   

What is the best time of the year to visit (once it becomes safer to do so) Xian and Beijing?  

Are there any places open during Golden Week (early October)?  We know this time is a national holiday. With our work, we get both US and Chinese holidays, so we were curious about whether there is a good potential location to visit inside China during a Chinese national holiday (that is not too crowded and also still open).  

Thank you for any ideas.  This is not time sensitive -- as we cannot book right away.  But if you happened to have some ideas, it would help with our planning.  China has so many beautiful locations, we are hoping we can see them. :) 

We loved the trip!!!!  I wrote as much on the survey that Tom gave us at the end of the trip.  The only thing I wanted to let you know is that our experience with the Jianshui Linan Hotel was not the same as the Oness Resort Hotel. 

The Oness Resort Hotel was fantastic!!! At the Oness Resort Hortel, we experienced beauty, comfort, and polite/courteous staff.  Never once did we feel like we were treated differently from being "foreigners."  They asked for our passports and our health codes, and after that, they were satisfied.  

Our experience with the Jianshui Linan Hotel was different.  It was very obvious that they did not want foreigners staying there, and they gave us a hard time.  They took photos of every piece of identification we had.  This included Chinese government identification that we have been issued.  It was surprising that this didn't even convince them.   They took photos of every passport entry/exit stamp.  They had Tom write down on paper, after seeing our passports, every place we visited in China, including the night before at the rice terraces.  They took photos of letters we had indicating why we were in-country. They saw our health-codes and then took pictures of those -- while also making us do another QR health code.  Tom tried to argue on our behalf, highlighting that this was all pre arranged, but they were persistent. (we really appreciated Tom's attempts) Through every step of the way, they made us feel like they did not believe what the prior piece of documentation had stated -- that we had been in China for 6 months.   When they finally gave us a room, we believe they gave us a room that they felt no one else wanted: it was heavily a "smoker's room" [they did not ask us if we wanted smoking or not], next to construction (drilling, hammering).  The fridge was unplugged, so it appeared that, because it was next to construction, this room was designated as a "do not put people in" room. . . which is why we received it.  I do realize that we live in a sensitive time, but the experience was so drawn out, and so different than the Oness Resort Hotel experience, that I wanted to highlight it to you in case you have any other foreigners booking a hotel in Jianshui.  We were just thankful that we stayed two nights at Oness, and therefore, our hotel experiences were mostly good! :) 

I am answering your survey questions below.  We are okay with you posting our survey response (the italicized text below), if you would like.

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

Wonder of China Discovery was exactly as his name implies "wonderful!"   When we first contacted China Discovery via the information provided on their website, we did not know what to expect.  However, Wonder provided thoughtful and immediate responses to our questions and concerns.  He followed up to ensure we were satisfied.  He explained what the tour entailed. He gave us solutions when original plans did not work.  He was up front about what the payment of the tour included and the payment policies.  When we paid, he also immediately followed up to let us know that payment had gone through and was well received -- which is always an important and nervous thing when a foreigner is paying a foreign company in a different country for a future trip.  During the planning of the trip, he was always in contact with us at least every two or three days, just to "check in" and let us know what part of the itinerary he was working on. We were very satisfied with Wonder. We hope to plan more trips in the future and we hope to be able to reach out to Wonder to do so.  He left us feeling very confident and happy with our experience!!  

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

We absolutely loved our tour!!!  Tom and our driver were amazing. From the very beginning when we arrived at the airport, Tom and our driver, Mr. Han, were always on time, always knowledgeable about roadways/etc to stick/meet our itinerary (there was a lot driving on our particular itinerary), and flexible.  Mr. Han was a most-impressive driver: he always drove alert with fast reflexes. His skill around the switchbacks up in the hills cannot be matched.  I always felt like we were in safe hands.  He was also always courteous and respectful.  Tom, our guide, was a great conversationalist.  He gave us multiple cultural and history lessons, which is what my husband and I enjoyed and hoped for.  He was also flexible, so he always helped us adjust to whatever predicament came our way: bad weather, road construction, etc.  When a particular hotel was closed in a town that hosted the best view of the rice terraces, he wanted to make sure we had the best experience possible -- so he personally called the hotel owner so the owner could open up the hotel's terrace and we could have the most magical view.  The hotel owner then made us some breakfast: one of the best bowls of rice noodles I've had.  That is just one example of how impressed and happy we were with Tom.  For the meals that were identified as part of our itinerary, we were always more than well fed.  We feasted!   The stops on our itinerary gave us insight and experiences that could not be matched.  We came away from our experience feeling like we really had the opportunity to take a glimpse into people's lives.  We saw small towns that we would never have stumbled upon otherwise.  Tom never took our photo without asking.  He never forced us into a shopping-stop.  He talked to locals at every stop to give us more insights and used his skill as a tour guide to make sure we could get into sites, get little tastes of a variety of foods, not stand overly long in lines, and learn little extra cultural tidbits along the way.  He always asked us if we needed restroom stops.  Actually, one time, he called and asked another hotel owner in another small town if the owner could open a closed hotel so that we could use the nicer restroom.  He never did anything that made us feel uncomfortable and he always made sure we were in agreement with a plan before he pursued it.  He also made sure we had every minute possible to enjoy all aspects of our itinerary.  If given the opportunity, we would go on a tour with Tom again!   It was fantastic.  Thank you to Mr. Han, Tom, Wonder and China Discovery for such a wonderful and positive experience.  

Thank you, Wonder!

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend and we hope to hear from you soon (about the potential future ideas for trips)

take care,

Hi Wonder

I hope things are returning to normal for you and that the impact in your business of covid-19 has not been too depressing. Please forgive my tardy response, for which there is no excuse!

I flew from Shanghai to Saigon just 3 days before the flights were banned and managed to spend a great 4 weeks travelling through Cambodia and Thailand as well as re-entering Vietnam in Hanoi and touring back to Saigon for a week returning to UK on 22 February, where I completed 2 weeks of self isolation with my wife. As you will know we have been locked down for 9 weeks now so life is very different to how it was before I left for China back on 12 January! I have inserted my answers to your questions below and hope they are helpful to you.

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

Wonder Wang, at China Discovery, was very helpful and responsive to my questions and needs and I felt supported and safe in a strange land, especially during a period of uncertainty when I lost key documentation and needed to ensure its replacement before I left China, and also during a time when many around us were conscious of the emerging coved 19 pandemic (Mid to late January 2020).

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

Very attentive and knowledgeable. Maybe it’s my age (67) but at times I found understanding their English a challenge but they were all patient with me and would repeat their explanations when I asked them to. 

3. Would you like to recommend our company?

 I have no hesitation in recommending China Discovery to anyone looking for a bespoke trip to the land of Wonder that is China.

Thanks again for all you did for me during the China leg of my trip. I had a wonderful time.

Take great care and best wishes

Simon

Thank you for the e-mail letting us know you are well and providing an update on the situation there.   We’re looking forward to the day we can feel the threat from the virus is over.  Hopefully, we’ll all get together to capture the lessons-learned and best practices, so we’re better prepared for the next time.

One request would be a current picture of your baby or babies?  We still think back fondly on our Silk Road trip that you expertly arranged for us.  We were at Angkor Wat and in Thailand over the Lunar New Year and sadly few tourists were there.  Hopefully tourists will quickly regain their confidence to travel again.

Again, thanks for thinking of us. And remember, if anyone asks for a recommendation of your services, we’ll respond!

Greetings from California.  Thank you so much for your heart warming email.  My family and I deeply appreciate your thoughtfulness. 

All of us are doing fine and no one is in danger.  Our oldest daughter is an emergency room physician.  She has a rather challenging job on her hands, but so far she is doing well and taking all precautions.

Tonight our Governor has just issued an emergency executive order to have all citizens in California to stay home, except for law enforcement and emergency personnel.

My wife and I have been staying inside our home close to a week now because of our age, we are the high risk groups. We are doing fine.

Anyway we hope this crisis will go away soon, just like China defeating COVID-19.  

Again we thank you for your care and concern about us.  We wish you and your family are safe and well.

We are doing the very best we can to protect ourselves and staying away from our grandchildren, which is not easy! Avi has essential work so continues to go to work, otherwise most people are home.

Yes, in Italy the situation is very bad. China’s experience, example and direct support are hopefully guiding us out of this crisis, but we are not able to apply such strict measures as you did, so it’s not clear how far is the peak yet.

And unfortunately all the rest of Europe is going through the same path.

What is amazing is that until it happens to you, you don’t understand, When we heard about China we felt supportive, but everything seemed to be so far away, and when the virus started spreading across Italy, the other European countries looked at Italy as a weird case and felt absolutely safe!

It’s good to hear that everything now is stable in China, thank you again for sending the document.

Dear Wonder,

Thank you very, very much for your message!

I must tell you that we were very worried about you, your family, and the families of all the very nice people we got to meet thanks to the wonderful (no pun intended !) trip you organized for us and which we cherish in our memories. We are extremely happy to hear from someone inside China that the situation has evolved very positively and that you feel that the crisis is on its way to be soon over in your country.

I believe that, contrarily to some other Western countries (Italy, Spain, the USA...), Belgium has tried to learn in a timely fashion from the Chinese experience with the novel coronavirus and that we are reasonably well prepared. Still, we are now in almost complete lockdown and life goes on in a very restricted way to limit propagation. Many of the recommendations in your document are already in force, but I shall distribute it to our circle of family and friends, since information resulting from the experience in China is obviously extremely valuable to us. We are also very grateful to China for the medical supplies your country has recently sent to supply our hospitals and our fronline medical staff.

We sincerely hope that the economic consequences of the coronavirus crisis won't be too painful to bear for the Chinese people and both Monique and I wish you all the best and a speedy return to "normal" life!

Yours sincerely,

Hi Wonder

Thanks for organising our 8 day Yunnan tour in Dec 2019. We were impressed with your prompt response, efficient service in planning the itinerary and acceding to all of our requests.

The itinerary was very well thought out and was at an easy pace. The 2 drivers we had (Mr Zheng in Kunming and Mr Yu for the rest of the journey) were very friendly and most importantly, safe drivers.

The tour guides were also very informative and spoke English well. Special mention goes to:

1) Mr Wang in Kunming, who guided us all the way from hotel pickup to go through customs and check in at the high speed rail. He even kept my Swiss Army Knife for me when I couldn't bring it onboard the train and returned to me the moment we arrived back in Kunming. He also helped us take very nice pictures while we were in the Stone Forest.

2) Alice in Dali was a breath of fresh air, she was always smiling, high-spirited and checking with us if we wanted to do certain activities she'd planned for us. We really appreciate the initiative taken to show us how the locals live and work (sipping tea, embroidery school, Dai dye, local market etc). She was genuine, honest, open and was very informative and knowledgeable in the local culture and the historical facts about the places we'd visited. 

3) Aten in Shangri-La was very friendly, well-spoken and communicated very well in English about the places of interest we'd visited. He was thoughtful, attentive and ensured that we were safe every step of the way as it had snowed and the floors were slippery at certain places. We really appreciated that he executed the itinerary there seamlessly without rushing through anything. We particularly enjoyed the 3km walk in the Potatso National Park, even though the lake was iced over, it was one of the most beautiful snowscapes we've seen and Aten kept it interesting with stories and facts about the place.

4) Mr Yu, our driver for Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La was one of the best drivers we've had. He drove well regarding safety as the most important. He was also very friendly and kind and had our best interests at heart: one day in Shangri-La, he noted we were tired the day before and he actually suggested that we start the following day later so we could rest. That touched our hearts :)

All in all, we had a wonderful time in Yunnan and of the many provinces we've visited so far, this is now our favourite. We will visit again.

Thanks Wonder for the beautiful memories we've garnered on this trip.

Listed below are responses to your appraisal--

1)Wonder was incredibly quick at answering our e-mails and super efficient when dealing with any queries I had both before and after the tour.Nothing was ever too much for him.

2)Tour arrangements were fantastic! Drivers were always available to meet us at train stations or airports to take us to our hotels. Also guides often arrived earlier than planned in the morning for our daily tours. Guides also very helpful and informative. (Minor point but Guilin Hotel was a bit out of town and did not offer facilities of the others—Chengdu hotel was magnificent)

3)I certainly am very willing to speak to anyone who is interested in travelling with you in the future

And recommending your company.

4)General opinion—10 out of 10—it couldn’t be better

5)I think overall the tour was very well organised-maybe the guides could promote evening events more in the different cities.I did attend a Sichuan opera eve.in Chengdu which was good.

6)Have lots of photos which I can send—let me know-panda cubs attached

Please use any of my comments on your web site

7)Certainly –future/potential customers can contact me for advice

Both Ashley and Wonder were very clear in responding to our requests for information, and both did well in addressing our questions and concerns.

We appreciated the efforts they made and are generally satisfied with the results. They were also very patient in explaining everything to us, and we had very little confusion regarding the details of the trip.

We want to give extra credit to Kai, our guide in Beijing, who was not only helpful but caring. We thoroughly enjoyed our excursions with him, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace. He is truly the best guide in our entire tour, and we hope all guides in the future can be as knowledgeable and caring as him.

Our general opinion of your tour company is generally positive, as your tour is a fresh idea compared to the usual Chinese tour operators we encountered in the past. Your focus on spending more time on the historical and cultural aspects of China and not pressuring tourists to do other activities (ex: shopping) is very refreshing, and allows us to appreciate the areas we visit more. We hope there are more tour operators in China who are willing to operate this way in the future.

Both the tour guides (Roland of Xiamen and Cherry of Wuyishan) were very good in getting us around. They were helpful, very knowledgeable and patient in explaining to us the important points of the area.

I highly recommend China Discovery to everyone who are looking for quality services.

Hi Wonder

I apologize for not replying earlier. Please find my review below.

Century Glory Yangtze River Cruise November 2019

I arranged our River Cruise through Wonder Wang at www.chinadiscovery.com. Wonder was superb! When there was an issue with the email server he phoned to check that I had received the information. He was patient as we decided on dates and efficiently organized all the details and information we required.

The cruise itself was fabulous. The Century Glory had only been launched in September 2019 so we were fortunate to be on an almost brand new Cruise Ship.  The ship was extremely well decorated and equipped.  We only booked a basic cabin with the intention of upgrading on the boat.  This wasn't possible as all the upgrades had been completed by the time we boarded.  However, our cabin was excellent and we don't believe that there would have been any advantage in being on a higher deck.  We did upgrade to the higher floor dining room.  We didn't hear any complaints from other guests in the standard dining room but I can say that the food and the service in the upgraded dining room was 5 Star.  All in all the ship staff at all levels delivered excellent service.  English was never a problem and staff in the dining room were able to assure me quickly that my allergy to MSG wouldn't a problem - and it wasn't.

The Yangtze River, Dam and tours were all amazing.  We had wondered if the scenery would live up to the other spectacular sights we have had the privilege to see around China and it did.  The optional tour of the Ship Lift at the Three Gorges Dam was incredible and if you have the opportunity a must do.

All out tour guides spoke excellent English, were knowledgeable,engaging and had a great love of their country and its progress.

An absolutely wonderful cruise, If you have the opportunity I would highly recommend it.  We then followed up with a most enjoyable 7 days in Chongqing.

Hi Wonder!! How are you!!

Sorry for the late response, it has been a bit more time demanding coming back home than I expected!!

We will gladly write a review in trip advisor. Actually Rubi and I worked on a review for you that you can find below, it is written both in English and Spanish if that helps you with the Spanish speaking countries. Also for your information we are sending you our comments of hotels and guides, but that is for you only.

Wonder Wang was fantastic since day 1, he always replied very quickly to our multiple emails and questions. He worked in record time to provide us with a perfect itinerary that adjusted not only to our wishes, but as well to our budget.

As many customers have pointed out, thinking of paying for your trip to a chinese company many miles away could be nervewracking. Nevertheless, you have nothing to worry about, we did the payments through paypal and Wonder and China Discovery fulfilled all our expectations, always going the extra mile.

As an example, once our itinerary and plane tickets were booked, the Chinese government informed that the Forbbiden City was going to be closed in order for the 70th Anniversary preparations. That was very sad, but Wonder informed us right away appending the official communication and with lots of new proposals for us to choose from. Kudos Wonder!!!

Both the guides and drivers were fantastic, they took us to really nice places for lunch with plenty of food and gave great recommendations for our dinners. The vehicles were impeccable, and they always greeted us with water bottles. Thank you Jack in Beijing, Lucas in Xian, Lee in Guilin and Nini in Shanghai.

We have nothing but gratitude to Wonder and China Discovery they managed to make our trip a hassle free no worries holiday, in a challenging country. Definately we will be booking our future China trips with them.

Wonder Wang fue fantástico desde el día 1, siempre contestó rápidamente todos nuestros correos y nuestras dudas. Trabajó en tiempo record con nosotras para poder lograr un itinerario que fuera perfecto, que no sólo se ajustara a nuestros gustos y deseos si no también a nuestro presupuesto. 

Como todos lo han dicho, el pensar en pagar vía paypal a una empresa china a tantos kilómetros da nervios. Sin embargo, no tienen nada de que preocuparse, Wonder y China Discovery cumplieron todas nuestras expectativas!!! y siempre fueron más allá atentos a nosotras y a lo que pudiera pasar. 

A modo de ejemplo, cuando ya habíamos organizado todo nuestro viaje, el gobierno de China informó que la Ciudad Prohibida estaría cerrada por preparativos para el 70 Aniversario. Wonder inmediatamente nos comunicó esta triste noticia, adjuntando el comunicado oficial y con miles de propuestas de visitas. Muy bien resuelto!

Los choferes y guías fueron espectaculares, los lugares a donde nos llevaron a comer deliciosos y sus recomendaciones de lugares de cenas muy buenos. Los vehículos siempre estuvieron bien cuidados y limpios. Todos los días nos recibieron con botellas de agua. Excelente atención!! Gracias Jack en Beijing, Lucas en Xian, Lee en Guilin and Nini in Shanghai.

No nos queda más que agradecer a Wonder y a China Discovery por permitirnos disfrutar inmensamente de nuestras vacaciones, resolviendo todo lo necesario. Definitivamente para nuestros siguientes viajes a China buscaremos a Wonder Wang de China Discovery sin dudarlo.

Now Wonder about your questionnaire, yes you can give our contact details to customers. And finally here are our personal comments on hotels and guides for you:

Beijing:

Jack was a fantastic guide, he knew a lot, he always had great information to talked about. He took us to great places to eat and gave the most wonderful recomendations for dinner. We had a great time with him! 

Sunworld hotel: excellent location, rooms are ok, it is true it is a bit old hotel, but staff was great, the room was clean and of good size for 2 people for a couple of days is good. For this hotel our only concern was the restaurant, it is not big enough for the amount of guests, so unless you wake up really early, it will we difficult to find a place to seat at rush hour. Food choice was good and ok for a couple of days.

Xian:

Lucas was really funny, he had cool fun facts and made the visits were interesting. He also took us to really delicious restaurants and was very attentive to us and our needs. He knew the museum was going to be crowded so beforehand he showed us lots of great pictures and information of the most representative pieces on his ipad so we could appreciate them calmly. We loved that!

Xian Park Hotel, was one of our favorite hotels, room was large and clean, staff was really attentive and the breakfast was great with lots of options to choose from.

Shanghai:

Nini was really sweet and kind, she explain lots of interesting things about the chinese culture and about her and her family. She was our first guide so we didnt know what to expect. We found it odd that on the museum she took us to the top floor, explained to us one jade piece and then left us on our own to explore the museum. We didnt know if this was what we could expect from the guide, but Lucas did it different because he stayd with us through the whole visit to the museum and explain the most important pieces which was nicer than us going alone. The restaurant she took us was nice, clean and with lots of food although it wasnt the best of our trips the other restaurants were tastier.

Sunrise on the bund: our first leg of the trip we thought the hotel was great, the room size and bathroom were great, the breakfast was amazing and the staff very attentive. We thought it was a bit far away, although metro station was close. What shock us the firs time was that one of the beds had holes and hairs between the mattress and the sheet. But our last day the room was better situated and had no problem with the linen. 

Guilin:

Lee was such a nice guy, he was very attentive, he taught lots of cool things and took great pictures of us!! he took us to really nice restaurants and was very helpful with everything we needed.

Guilin park hotel: from our perspective it is not possible to compare the Guilin Park and the Sunworld as the same category 4 stars. We think the Guilin park must be a 3 stars or less. Or maybe it was just bad luck for us the room we were in. The staff was attentive and the location was good. For us the problem was the room, the carpet was dirty, the wallpaper was coming off on several places, the bathroom had damp and mold on ceiling and on the shower, the tv only had 1 channel in english. All the corridors and the room next to us smell awful of cigarette. And the breakfast had very little options and was not nice in taste, we actually bought some food and decided to have that as breakfast for the second day instead of what was offered in the hotel. 

We decided not to bother you with this during our trip, because at the end we knew that we had a tight budget and the first thing we decided to do was to pay less for hotels, and because we could survive it for 2 days. But if we were going back to Guilin we now know that we will be willing to pay more for a better hotel.

If we were to go back to all the same places we will certainly stay at the same hotels except for the one in Guilin, as we say for us it is very far from a 4 stars.

Finally Yangshuo Mountain retreat: was everyhing we wanted and more, rooms were great, food was excelent as well as service!!!

Well Wonder I hope all of this information is good and useful for you.

Once again thank you for everything and we will keep in touch!!

Christy in Guilin was good, however, she could have done a better job in accommodating our food preferences as she preordered all meals for us without giving us the options from the menu or choice of vegetable/meat. She took us to many interesting places and did a good job of that. 

Eben in Chengdu was very good. His command over English was really good, and shared a lot of knowledge about Chengdu and China with us. He managed to get us into the Panda reserve without waiting in line at all. Food options from him were very good, and he helped us order even for dinner.

3.     Would you like to recommend our company? Because of the high elevation, the tour guide in Shangrila should have recommended purchasing supplemental oxygen before the hike; we only discovered it was possible to buy oxygen when we were on the hike and saw many others had oxygen canisters.  Also recommend booking non-Chinese tourists like ourselves in hotels suitable to foreigners; some of the hotels were not well suited for foreigners because the staff did not speak English and there were no international TV stations.  Lastly, we recommend the tour guides ask us for lunch preferences and let us choose meals among a menu of options; several times the tour guides ordered our food and we did not like what was ordered.

Thanks for your help with organizing our enjoyable and memorable tour of Yunnan province.

  • Sarvin was a good guide, very insightful, friendly and helpful. She knew of all the places to go, how to avoid tourist groups, and she was very patient while I was busy taking photos. However, I think she can still improve on her English proficiency, as at times there was difficulty in her understanding me, and me understanding her.

1) We were extremely impressed with the service provided to us. Our travel consultants handled all queries in an efficient and professional manner. They were quick to answer questions, and any concerns were addressed in a prompt manner.

2) The cruise was very good. The Century Paragon ship was clean and well maintained. The cruise manager, Jeffrey, had a fantastic sense of humour and glowing personality. The staff throughout the ship were friendly and attentive. The post-dinner events each night were entertaining. The shore excursions were interesting. It was helpful having tour guides communicating with us in English, however some of the guides were less than confident in their English-speaking abilities, and we did not get the same information that was being given to the Mandarin speaking guests. The cruise photographers were able to capture a lot of good memories.

3) I would not hesitate to recommend your company to friends and family. The service provided was friendly, helpful, and of a high standard.

China Discovery (Wonder and Tiffany) were excellent in being able to meet our needs and be accessible with any enquiries we had. When I was on tour Wonder answered a number of queries I had promptly and often outside normal business hours. 

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

We visited a number of cities and were provided with tour guides and drivers. All had excellent English and were knowledgeable of the sites we were visiting, they were engaging and drivers made suggestions as to the best times to leave to avoid traffic and crowds. 

The guides who took us to our Train stations proved additional city commentary and went out of their way to make sure we knew where to go to make sure we caught the correct train, that was unexpected and very reassuring.

Dear Wonder

Thank you again for arranging an enjoyable trip.  And it was good that you warned me about the lack of real non-smoking rooms in those areas so that I was prepared – while I was assured by the hotels that the rooms were non-smoking, there was usually a linger of smoke in the rooms from previous occupants!

Another useful tip for any travelers taking this trip is to warn them to be prepared for the range of squat toilets (some were very clean, some were not) and to remind people to take their own toilet paper and have water to wash their hands in case there is no water in the taps (we encountered this is some toilets).  But we were prepared, so not a problem for us!

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my comments.

Hi Wonder,

I am sorry I have been a little delayed in sending this feedback. It took us several days to get all the grass cut in the garden and to check that everything was still O.K. The plants in the greenhouse have grown a lot!

Anyway I will begin with the guides, who we thought were all very helpful and also interesting people to talk to. Their English was excellent and they provided exceptionally tasty lunches. Michael and I agreed that the food in Yunnan was much better than we had on the first trip. Some of it was a bit spicy, but I loved all the fresh fruit and variety of vegetables. Both drivers were good, but the one in Kunming was really impressive and very friendly as well.

Cherry was a lovely woman, whose company we really enjoyed. We had many conversations on all sorts of topics. She was very informative with a great sense of humour. She was very conscientious and we always had great confidence in her. Her English was clear and easy to understand. We came to think of her more as a very friendly and pleasant travelling companion rather than a guide. The day we shared on Jiaozi Mountain was very special and one I will never forget. I didn't get her email, but would very much like to write to her direct.

Frank's interest and enthusiasm for plants was obvious. He had even named his two daughters, Camelia and Azalea. Frank made great efforts to ensure we saw as many plants as possible on our walk on Cangshan Mountain. He was also able to provide a perspective on the Bai Community. Again he was friendly and interesting company.

Evan was a very kind and thoughtful man and we really appreciated the efforts he made on our behalf.  He was informative but also concerned to focus on our interests. I liked Evan and had considerable respect for what he had achieved.

Tenzen was another interesting character and he also was concerned to try and ensure we saw the azaleas and rhododendrons that were in flower. The highlight of our day with him was definitely the walk around Shudu Lake. The Tibetan lunch was a novel experience and I actually liked the Yak butter tea.

The hotels were all of a very high standard in terms of facilities and décor.

The Mengjiang in Kunming had a lovely courtyard just outside our room which was a comfortable place to sit in the evening. Michael very much liked the breakfasts (pre-ordered from a picture menu) but I found them rather too much and would have preferred a more conventional buffet style. None of the staff spoke English and given the potential for confusion over breakfast this was an issue. I think their menus needed to contain information in English as to what the different options actually included.

The Oness Resort in Yuanyang was set in a pleasant garden with modern but tasteful décor. The breakfast was very good although Cherry did have to help us choose the evening meal as the menu was only in Chinese.

The Jianshui Hanlinyuan Hotel was set in the most beautiful gardens. The room was gorgeous and it was quite the most perfect hotel in terms of accommodation. I will send you photos of the gardens later. They were exquisite. Strangely the breakfast was rather limited and disappointing, but I was less bothered about that than Michael.

The Dali Yunxi Hotel was a much more modest establishment, but still very comfortable with all the facilities you needed. The roof-top terrace was just outside our room and was a restful place to retreat from all the bustle of Dali. The hotel was run by extremely friendly people who served the option of a Western style breakfast of muesli, fruit and yoghourt, a welcome treat as far as I was concerned.

The Jan Bo Xuan in Lijiang was probably our favourite place to stay. It did have a very tastefully furnished and comfortable room looking out on to a pretty courtyard garden. The staff could not have been more helpful and the breakfasts were tasty. The hotel itself was set in the old town of Lijiang which was incredibly picturesque. Lijiang reminded me very much of Suzhou.

The E-outfitting Hotel in Shangri-La was the strangest place we visited. The accommodation was of a high standard with attractive rooms and the bathroom was fine. The roof terrace was a lovely place to sit and enjoy the evening sun. However the organisation of the hotel was very peculiar. It is on three sites and they didn't know which building we were in when we arrived, and so we walked round the old streets for some minutes before they finally worked out where we were. We were then told breakfast would be on a different site but someone would show us in the morning, which they did. Breakfast itself was alright rather than good.

In terms of places visited. I will group them in terms of how much we liked them.

Jiaozi Mountain was my favourite place. It was exactly as I had hoped to see the flowers. I know they were rhododendrons and not azaleas but that did not matter. They are very similar and often get confused. I am still sorting the photos out from the day and a little disappointed that they do not do justice to the magical beauty of the place. I can't understand why the people from Kunming only visit it in the winter. Cherry was really  surprised by how lovely it all was and said she would be recommending it to her tour company, as well as visiting it again herself with a friend in a few weeks. I think Westerners would love this place if it was promoted more.

The rice terraces in Yuanyang were Michael's favourite place. We both thought the day we spent walking with Cherry through the rice fields was delightful. Again I found it strange that the Chinese are more taken with the place in the winter, simply because of the reflections on the water. But I think the beauty of the place is in the abundant life and all the wonderful fresh green. We were less bothered about the sunset and sunrise, but just enjoyed being in such verdant countryside.

The next group of places are ones which we also really liked but didn't rank as favourites.

I have already said that walking around Cangshan Moutain with Frank, and Shudu Lake with Tenzen were memorable experiences. Michael is not very good with heights, but didn't mind the chair-lift to get us to the higher level of Cangshan, which then meant we could walk on the level. Again we were impressed with China's ability to process large numbers of people visiting rural beauty spots without spoiling the natural environment.

We were very pleased with the visit to Ziu Shan Park in Tonghai. Cherry said she had never been there before and the staff on the gate said they hadn't had Westerners before. Cherry was again surprised at how beautiful the place was and will be recommending it to her tour company. I do have some good photos which I will send you. The Temples are set in beautiful courtyard gardens, but it is all surrounded by wooded hillside so that it all feels very natural. Again I think more Western visitors could be encouraged to visit especially as it breaks the journey to the rice terraces.

The Joseph Rock Museum in Yuhu Village was a very evocative place. I loved looking up at Jade Dragon Mountain and longed to go up there, but realised that would have been difficult.

We also very much liked the Confucian Temple and the Zhu Family Garden, the temple was interesting as a contrast to the other religious temples we visited. We found Tuanshan Village fascinating and it was encouraging to see the old buildings being restored. The Botanical Gardens in Kunming and the first bend of the Yangtze provided wonderful sights. Lijiang was probably our favourite town with all its pretty rivers and streets with their profusion of flowers.

In the third group are the places that we were quite happy to visit, but didn't rate as highly as the others. Erhai Lake was beautiful but I could see Frank's point that it's real beauty was when you could see the mountains clearly behind the lake, which was more likely in winter. For us the mountains remained in a misty haze. The Three Pagodas were impressive, but it was a little like Black Dragon Pool, in that it seemed more like a rather busy, but still very nice park. The Songzalin Monastery certainly did give a very good insight into Buddhism in China, but our interest in religious practices is limited. The Dongba Cultural Museum was interesting, but what really caught our eye were the gorgeous orchids in one of the courtyards. I guess we are just really enthusiastic about plants. We didn't bother with the Ethnic Minorities Museum as it wasn't something that was a priority and we had already learned a lot about the minorities during our trip. It was preferable to have a more relaxed morning on our last day.

The disappointment for me was Tiger Leaping Gorge although Michael liked it more than me. There is so much construction going on in the whole area with the new road and rail link between Lijiang and Shangri La, not to mention all the new hotels going up, that it all feels like a large building site. Also Tenzen said that as they were putting a new elevator in to take people down to the gorge, it was not possible to walk very far along the gorge at the moment. It did feel like we walked a very long way down and then only a few metres along the gorge before walking all the way up again.

But apart from Tiger Leaping Gorge everything else was really amazing and we had a wonderful trip thanks to all your careful organisation. As before the connections and travel arrangements worked very efficiently. We only wish public transport in the UK worked as well.

It is going to take me a little while to sort out the photos. I only have a little camera and as I have said the quality of the photos is not as good as I'd hoped. We have some family visitors this week-end and so I don't expect to be able to do much work on the photos until next week, but will try and sort out the best ones for you.  I assume you have plenty of pictures of the well known sights and it will be Xiu Shan Park and Jiaozi that you might be most interested in.

Thanks again Wonder for a memorable trip and as I said in my previous email I am very keen on the idea of helping to develop an interest here in the UK in Chinese garden tours.

Hi Wonder

I am back in the UK on Saturday afternoon. I couldn't use my email while in China as Hotmail were blocking me as a security precaution after I had been hacked a couple of weeks ago by someone in Nigeria.

Anyway this is just to let you know that we had a truly memorable holiday and the trip to Jiaozi Mountain was amazing, with the whole mountainside covered in a glorious profusion of rhododendrons which are very like azaleas, only bigger. The scenery was breath-taking. It really was the highlight of the trip and Cherry and the driver were delightful company on what was a perfect day.

I am still quite jet-lagged so will write more in a day or two, with more detailed feedback. All the guides were great, as were the hotels. I have lots and lots of photos to sort out but will send you the best ones for you to use in your publicity.

Thank you again Wonder for all the trouble you have taken in organising another fantastic holiday for us. I have some ideas which I would like to share with you about whether we could maybe work together in the future to try and look at how a tour could be put together and marketed in the UK and Europe, highlighting Chinese gardens and the Chinese landscape. I would be happy to do some research at this end but I really do think there could be interest amongst people in the UK for such a tour. Anyway it is just an idea at the moment and it would be fun to develop something like that with you.

We enjoyed  & loved the magnificent scenery from Beijing to Guilin and specially Zhangjiajie. The beautiful and magnificent Zhangjiajie National Park & Canyon plus the Tianzi Mountain which made us appreciate what China has to offer. The glass bridge and Great Wall plus the Yellow Dragon Cave ( optional) in Zhangjiajie were awesome. We love all the places which we have visited in China.

1. I wanted to thank Mr. Wang for all the arrangements for the tour. Mr. Wang is very professional and has provided an outstanding service in terms of quick responses, answered all questions and went above & beyond  to help when needed ( 5 stars)

Dear Wonder,

My wife and I have finally returned from our cruise from Shanghai to Tokyo which followed our tour with your company.

I wanted to thank you and give you some favorable feedback on our Yangtze River Cruise.

Everything was great and well executed by your staff.

Our interaction with you during the planning phase was excellent as you were very thorough and accurate in your descriptions and responded very quickly to any questions that we had. You were very responsive even during your wedding and Chinese New Year holiday which we appreciated. One suggestion would be to give your American customers the airline confirmation numbers and flight details in advance to allay any anxieties they might have. In the US we like to have such details. Advance details of train tickets or hotel confirmation numbers would be good too.

The Yangtze River Cruise on the Victoria Katerina was also excellent and we enjoyed this part of the trip very much. The Katerina was not quite up to US 5 star standards and we ended up upgrading our suite to the more expensive Shangrila Suite at an extra cost of USD 640. There are very few foreigners on this cruise and the english language tour guides spoke very little english. The tour guides wold speak in chinese at some length and then speak in english very briefly so it was clear we were not getting the whole tour commentary.

The guides you arranged in each of the cities we visited all were excellent. These were Charlie Soong in Chongqing, Coffee in Yichang, Derrick Dai in Zhangjiajie and Laura in Shanghai. All of them were punctual, friendly, polite and knowledgeable. We spent the most time with Derrick in Zhangjiajie and he was really terrific. But we really liked all the guides.

Overall we are very pleased with the service of your company and would recommend you highly to anyone else.

Thank you so much for arranging our China and Yangtze River trip.

Best wishes,

Hi Wonder,

Please see my responses below.

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

 Yes, no issues.

2. How’s the cruise?

We both enjoyed it very much.  It was a good way to spend the 3 days we had.  We got to meet other travelers, everything was very clean, food was good, and everyone on the cruise was very helpful.  The entertainment activities on the cruise were surprisingly good.  Some of the downsides were that you could not go to the front deck of the ship, without paying extra, and activities were started too early, with breakfast ended too early at 8am.  We were also told that we could not exit the ship, unless we joined the tours.  I don't think this is acceptable.  You should be free to exit the ship, as you wish. 

3. Would you like to recommend our company?

 Yes, responses were quick and prices seemed competitive.  Quick responses were critical, as we contacted you only 2-3 days before the cruise.

Hi Wonder,

I just want to let you now I did a trip advisor review for you today. I was so happy to do this for you. Sorry it took me awhile to get this done for you. I had a very difficult time & I am still struggling with the 12 hr time difference. I went back to work also this past week & was still struggling with the time change. Having a hard time this time bouncing back after the 12 hr time change. I want to thank you so much for providing such great tour guides to Mary & I for our trip to China! Make sure you tell all of our guides how much we loved them & what a great job they did for us. We were so impressed! They were always on time when we were suppose to meet!  And very friendly & professional! Would recommend all three of them again to all my friends. I loved the Yangtze Explorer Boat! It was a great recommendation from you to go on this boat!  We loved that there were less people on this boat! And we loved getting more one on one service from the crew! I already have one friend that wants to go on the Yangtze River Cruise & I will be recommending her to you to book her cruise. I will also direct her to my review on trip advisor as well. I can’t wait to come back to China for a Third time & next time I want to do the up river cruise on the Yangtze River Explorer & bring my husband with me. He has never been to China. Each time I come back to China I like to see something different than I did before. So I am sure I will be getting a hold of you this time next year in planning my trip back to China. Thanks again for all your hard work in helping me to plan this trip to China. Let me know what you think of my review & my pictures I included with my review once you have time to check it out! I hope you like the review & it helps your career. You deserve it! You work hard!

Dear Mr Wonder Wang,

We are back after a long holiday in China arranged by you.

We were very well treated by the tour guides and drivers. Without them we would not have been able to have any lunch or dinner, or get proper hotel services.

In fact tour guide Mr. Thruptin at Shangri La turned out to be Indian born and could speak our language. My wife was thrilled.

Ms Sophie the tour guide at Linjian was extremely helpful to my wife when she had indigestion after eating local flower cakes. This was the only Chinese food we had problem with.

Ms Cherry who travelled with us the most, was not only a very innovative tour guide, but also an excellent travelling company for my wife, especially for the use of toilets

The next time we visit China, we should get China SIM cards, since my Indian SIM though with roaming serviced by China Mobile was not supporting 4G data. None of the hotel rooms had 4G data support.

I wish you all the best.

Regards.

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’s the experience of the cruise?

Great experience considered it was a river cruise in China.  Certainly Century cruise can learn from the ocean cruises to make their evening entertaining programme even more successful in terms of variety and quality, but for now those entertaining shows met my expectations.


I tried to look for another river cruise with another route for next year but it looks like the Yangtze 3 gorges river cruise is the only river cruise available.  I look forward to further development in future.

Hi Wonder,

Well, all I can say on behalf of David and myself, you organized an incredible, memorable tour for us. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

We had an experience of a lifetime. China was more than we ever expected.

We pinched ourselves in incredibly modern Shanghai; at the historical Terracotta Soldiers; and as for the Beijing wall words can’t explain our feelings.

I have to tell you that your choice of tour guides was simply amazing.

Avril, Vivian and Forest went way beyond their services - as I am a slow walker and struggle with steps each one was more than helpful and obliging to assist us.

They cared for me in such a wonderful manner.

Their knowledge is first class - each one is a classy tour guide and was able to get us through the "crowds" and queues with no problems.

I would recommend them as Number ONE CHOICE. Forest was particularly caring - arranging a wheelchair on one day where there was a lot of walking.

He helped me with the steps - one very super, caring and feeling young man.

Vivian took us literally onto the bullet train from Xian to Beijing in case we got lost.

Their knowledge of English is great.

Their drivers were also excellent.

They were all punctual - caring - arranged lovely lunches.

Please send me their email details as wish to thank them individually.

All the Hotels were excellent. However, the one in Beijing, Crowne Plaza bedrooms were run down - bathrooms rather tired - not expected for a 5* hotel.

All Hotels locations were first class. Breakfasts great.

By the way we stayed as you know at the Nuo Hotel - just to let you know it was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Can highly recommend.

We will recommend you to everyone who intend to travel to China.

Once again THANK YOU.

Thanks for your Christmas greeting .and thanks for your organization of our trip to China in October.

We had a wonderful time and were very impressed as everything went very smoothly and our guides were very helpful and informative. We found China to be an exciting and forward moving country. Both the cities and country side are interesting and there are so many highlights that we enjoyed on our trip. The time we spent on the cruise was very restful and enjoyable, we loved cycling on the old city wall in Xian, visiting the "Avatar Mountains" and the favourite city was Shanghai with the Bund and the lovely water village that we visited there.

The tour was extremely well organized and we were met and transferred by very reliable guides in each destination.I would recommend your company to anyone

Timo was extremely considerate, knowledgeable and kind. He anticipated all of our questions and always made us feel comfortable and safe on the tour in Xi'an. Kai was a walking text book on Chinese history and told us many interesting stories about ancient China and the many dynasties and emperors. He brought to life the places that we visited in Beijing. The drivers of all of our tour vans/cars were also excellent and always made us feel safe on the roads.

Hi Wonder,

Check the 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. Very prompt indeed.

2.    How do you comment your tour arrangements? – Excellent with one exception.

The D312 overnight train has recently been replaced with newer carriages. This means that there are no longer Soft Sleeper compartments. This meant that we had Hard Sleeper berths which were very uncomfortable. Also the rail tracks are not always of good quality resulting in a very bumpy and noisy ride between 2:30am and 3:30am. However we fully appreciate that this was totally beyond your control. On the positive side, we greatly appreciated being right at the back of the train with one empty berth so that we were not disturbed unduly by other passengers.

The G25 high speed train, on the other hand was very comfortable and we very much appreciated being right at the front of the carriage so were in a good location.

The domestic flight HU7841 was also good as was our seating allocation.

All three hotels were first class and very conveniently located.

The tour guides and drivers were also very good, looked after us very well and we greatly appreciated the information given to us by Kai and Darcy. The historical information that Kai gave us in Beijing made our entire visit to China much more interesting and enjoyable. Mr Wang is an excellent driver.

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

4.    Your general opinion on us? – If we return to China, we would definitely choose to arrange it with China Discovery.

5.    Do you have any suggestions on improving our services? – The China Tea Ceremony was more of a tea tasting so was a bit disappointing. The other visits were great. Apart from that we can’t think of anything else.

6.    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. You may.

We sometimes have requests from potential customers who would like to inquire from or our ex-customers.

May they contact you for advices? – Certainly.

I am again in touch with you, to express my greatest gratitude for the work done by you and your team of guides. I must say that its availability, and ability to meet the goals we have set, and to find alternatives, was gratifying and indisputably, was an added value to make this trip through china, a delightful ride. in which we had access to a small part of the history and culture of this great country. where we were able to contact people from urban centers to the most rural areas. and to feel at the end of your work, that everything, but everything that we have combined, has been fulfilled, and where it has been added more by the initiative of the guides themselves, enriching our trip. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the professional, efficient and diligent work they have done, for total honesty. As far as our guides are concerned, I have nothing to point out that is not the total dedication to our group, fulfilling in all aspects with extreme kindness, friendliness and incredible education, elements that also contributed a lot, that trip that we dreamed and that I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends and acquaintances, I would recommend it to my own son. 

As far as China Discovery is concerned, as I have already mentioned, I have been totally satisfied with the work done, and I would recommend and recommend to all my friends, acquaintances and family members who intend to pay a visit to your great country.

Thank you for the unforgettable moments you have given us.

I do not know what I can say more about your work, in an appreciation of 1 to 5 stars, my evaluation would always be more than 8 stars, because they were much more than a company, and your guides went far beyond a cold commercial relationship.

It has been a memorable experience also thanks to our exceptional guide, Kevin Bao, who accompanied us in Beijing.

Many thanks and all the best for your future!

Kind regards

Hi Wonder,

Sorry for not responding sooner.  It’s been busy since I returned.

I want to give you a more specific answer to your questions when I get a chance, but I could not have done this trip without you. And Candy was fantastic in Beijing, as was Daniel in Chengdu. Johnny was also very helpful in Xian. I did this trip for my Mom, and she had a great time!

I will get back to you, but 2 things to pass along.

I know I asked for it, but wish I had skipped Dazu. It was a little too much, as was Charlie frankly, who obviously was very knowledgeable. I Or just hung out in Chongqing for the day, which actually was interesting. Next time I am asking you about the itinerary. ;)

And in Xi’an, the van that picked us up and for the tour the next day was a little suspect but easy to recognize — we called it the wolf van.  It was not as comfortable as the others we had. But the woman who drove us to the airport when we left was awesome.

My only regret is that I did not rely on you more for advice. Now I know and am happy to let others know, too.  I will get back to you.

Hi Wonder,

Yes sure. I am well, thanks.

The cruise was great, truly 5 star standards. The price was very reasonable, my cabin was very good, the dining room and meals were fantastic, and the open air upper deck was wonderful too. Other things like the bar area, gym, and snack shop also helped make things more enjoyable. The on-board staff were all very professional and friendly and bilingual. The on-board entertainment and scenic spots during the cruise were very well presented. Offshore excursions were very well planned and impressive and the local tour guides were very good too. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone.

Best Regards,

Hello Wonder,

I want to thank you very sincerely for arranging our amazing China trip.   I was really impressed by how smoothly everything went.  Before the trip you were always very courteous and responsive to our questions. The information you provided us were very thorough.  Booking the trip was very easy.

Our trip started very well.  We had a late arrival or 10:45 pm landing time. Our guide actually did the hotel check in before picking us up so we could just go to the hotel and quickly get into our room. Thank you Betty for doing that.

All pickups and drop offs were on time and efficient. And All hotels exceeded our expectations for their locations.

The breakfasts were also sufficient, and some abundant.  Most of the beds in our hotels had really hard beds which we were not used to. I think maybe that is a Chinese preference and our friends like the hard beds.

Our itinerary was also well planned out. We packed in maximum amount of activities. We enjoyed all 6 of our locations.  In fact most places I found myself wishing I could have stayed longer.  My personal favorite was Huangshan. I wished I had more time to explore the mountains and also the neighboring old cities.

Our guides in general have been very courteous, kind and patient. We enjoyed Betty from Xi’an and Jerry from Shanghai the most. They were both outstanding in their effort to ensure our comfort, even prior to our arrival, and also the explanations and information.  We learned so so much from them. I need to give a special mention to Jerry. He is everything s good guide should be. We are very glad to have met him. He was always teaching us some Chinese culture, Chinese sayings, and at the same time trying motivate us for the hard hikes.

Most days we had lunch included in our agenda. They have mostly been good. We tasted local cuisines everywhere we went. Some we like better than others but we were glad we tasted the local affairs.

The only minor negative was the pickup at Shanghai when we arrived 2 hours late due to the severe weather.  Our guide Mark told us he waited 3 hours for us and was hungry. He was a bit impatient with us. We had a different lady for airport drop off next day and she was extremely sweet.

All in all, we had an amazing 2 week of jam packed activities and everything went without a hitch.  The itinerary was well planned, and we followed it without problems. I would definitely recommend China Discovery and Wonder Wang.

Thank you very much, Wonder.

I will be back next year for another trip.

Hi Wonder,

Here is our feedback.

1. My husband and I want to thank our travel consultant, Wonder Wang, for his travel advice, prompt reply, and professionalism. We had a private group of 5 adults and 2 children. We travelled to 6 places in China in 2 weeks: Xian, Zhangye, Chengdu, Zhangjiajie, Huangshan, and Shanghai. Wonder made all the arrangement for us and kept us updated on everything. We had no problem with the fast speed train, soft sleepers, and flights. Wonder did an amazing job with the planning. We had the itinerary with flight and train details before our departure except for the soft sleepers which could only be booked at a later time. He called us while we were in China and updated us on the tickets for the soft sleepers. We appreciate all his hard work. One thing we commented on throughout the trip was the thoroughness of his planning.  

2. At every destination, we were greeted by an English speaking local guide. The local guides took us to every places that were listed in our itinerary. The van was big enough to accommodate 7 of us and our luggage. It was humid in China and we welcomed the air-condition in the van. All the hotel rooms had air-conditioning except for the hotel in Huangshan. It was up in the mountain and the open window brought in cool air.

3. We highly recommend China Discovery. We do have a friend who signed up for a trip next year.

4. We were very impressed with China Discovery and were fortunate to get Wonder as our travel consultant. We had emailed three travel companies with our travel destination and China Discovery was able to provide an itinerary to match our wish at a reasonable quote.

We had a local guide in every province. We highly recommend our Xian guide, Betty. She was knowledgeable and explained things well. Ivy, our guide in Chengdu was friendly and personal. She took us to a place for dinner and showed us what the locals eat. In Huangshan, we had the best guide, Jerry. Jerry walked us to our rooms and checked each room, making sure we had what we needed. He encouraged and motivated us to hike further. He was patience with the adults and children. When I told him that I had lost my train ticket for Huangshan to Shanghai, he stayed calm and helped solved my issue. I was able to purchase a new ticket and got refund at Shanghai train station.

5. As my sister had mentioned, it would be better if family members could sit together on train or plane.

In Zhangye, it would be great if the local guide would give a more in-depth explanation about the geological formation of Danxia landform and not just the shapes of some rock formations.

6. Sure. You are welcome to use our comments and photos. Photos attached.

Dear Mister Wang Zhen!

Now we have come home from Beijing I have the pleasure to report to you that our expedition has been a complete success and your agency and you personally must have our full gratitude for it. Our guides were good and precise and did more than usual guides could be expected to do. Mister Wang Hao for example has rescued bravely my penknife in the National Museum and Mister Sherab has been spending his private time to give us some orientation in the world of Tibetan thangkas. And although our wishes had not been standard and simple ones they have been fulfilled to a point and with a perfect regularity. So as a sign of acknowledgment let me present you my poem written in the classical style (I hope your computer will support the program I have used; note that Wang Zhenbang is just a translation of “Wonder Wang”).

Tony was a great and knowledgeable tour guide and the driver was also very good. Tony picked us up and dropped us off very promptly.

Now we are back in the UK, I felt that I needed to take this opportunity to thank you again for arranging our tour. We thought that the programme you arranged for us fitted in very well with our expectations, all the guides/drivers were very good and your choice of hotels was excellent.

We realize that putting the tour together involved a lot of your time, so thank you for always answering our email questions so promptly and knowledgeably.

We would certainly recommend your services to anyone who should wish to travel within China.

As a suggestion, we would strongly recommend the use of a Mobile WiFi Router whilst in China. We rented one from WiFiBB in Hong Kong Airport for 900 HKD for the 3 weeks and it gave all 4 of us very good access to the internet almost everywhere whilst traveling and quite often it was better and easier to use than the hotel WiFi.

Hi Wonder,

We had a really great and enjoyable time in China

We like to express our thanks and appreciation to you and your great team for the effort in getting us to Yichang- when our flight was suddenly cancelled from Xian.

It was really great of you to respond to my email immediately then.It was very reassuring for us, when we were stuck in an unfamiliar place, to know that you were organizing alternative transport to get us to Yichang on time to catch the cruise ship that evening

You had turned a stressful situation-of been stranded in Xian - into an exciting bonus trip on the fast train- and it was reassuring for us to know you had organized for a guide to take us to the correct gate at Wuhan terminal and a late pick up at Yichang station

Could you please convey our appreciation, gratitude and thank to -the driver who pick us up from Xian airport to the train station, the guides who organized the train tickets and the one who met us at Wuhan Station and the driver who met us at the Yichang Stations.

Overall the guides -Kelly,Diana and Alice -were very friendly and professional and helpful

Will write a review for you and will definitely recommend your company to friends and family

Thank you

It was so nice to meet you and we both thank you for making the effort.

Thank you also for organising the sending of the things we left in the first hotel.

One of the things that is in the travel wallet is the paper we have to give to customs when we leave China!!!!!  We leave one bit when we enter and the other when we leave.

If we don’t get the wallet in time I wonder what we do when we get to Customs.

I like to prepare ahead of time so would appreciate your finding out what we would have to do.

Our time in China has been wonderful. Every day with something different and exciting. The guides have been great too, I would have to say that the full time ones are more enthusiastic in sharing their knowledge.  That is no criticism of Belle and Stephen though.

We have had so much fun with them and Jeff has driven them mad with all his questions.

Hello Wonder,

I just wanted to leave some feedback on my recent trip to Guilin and Xi’an:

- TOUR GUIDES: Smiley in Guilin was outstanding. I can’t imagine anyone exceeding the expertise she provided. She was fun and informative and the highlight of my visit. Johnny in Xi’an was also very good and extremely informative when visiting the TERRACOTTA WARRIORS and the HISTORY MUSEUM. Both tour guides were on time each day and always cordial and upbeat.

- DRIVERS: professional and safety conscious. I always felt safe whether in city traffic or on country roads.

- ACCOMMODATIONS: I thought the best hotel was the LONGSHENG INYUE HOTEL. For me it was the perfect hotel for the Pingan area. Rustic and comfortable with great service. Unfortunately the hotel I thought was inferior was the GUILIN PARK HOTEL. Although the service was excellent I found the condition of the rooms poor. Since I stayed in 3 different rooms during my stay I experienced the same room conditions each time. Broken, crooked and ripped lampshades, dirty carpeting and refrigerators that either didn’t work or were locked and unavailable. The temperature in the rooms was impossible to control and for two nights I had to open the windows in order to cool down the temperature in order to sleep. The rooms need major renovations.

- TOURS: Outstanding. I am very pleased with the sites I visited. I would recommend one change, however. In Xi’an I would have rather visited the TERRACOTTA WARRIORS exhibition before I visited the factory. I would have made a more educated purchase at the factory had I seen the exhibition beforehand.

Thank you again for putting my itinerary together and for always keeping me informed. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to work together in the future.

Sincerely,

Ron Grether

Hello Mr. Wang,

We completed our evaluation forms with our tour guides in Beijing and Xian, however I wanted to send an email to you directly regarding our very excellent China Discovery experience from 10-15 November 2017.

From our very first correspondence with China Discovery we were very happy with the professionalism of the organization and the very quick responses we received as we planned our trip together. The trip was well organized, efficient and included everything we wanted to see and do. The cost of the trip was an excellent value based on comparisons we made with other tour companies, prior to booking with China Discovery. We opted to book our own hotel in Beijing and that was not an issue with China Discovery.

We had a very positive experience in China and cannot thank you enough for all your help in making this trip possible! The personal guides you arranged for us, Lisa in Beijing and Timo in Xian, were the perfect guides for us. Both guides were always on time, very professional, knowledgeable about the sights we visited and took very good care of us. Our drivers provided comfortable and clean cars for our travels and we felt very safe traveling around Beijing and Xian.

China Discovery made our first trip to China memorable and stress free from beginning to end!

We highly recommend China Discovery for anyone planning a trip to China.

Please feel free to share our comments with potential customers.

Thank you again!

My sister Gail & I enjoyed the company & great knowledge of our lovely guide Vivian who went above & beyond helping us in every way possible.  We also felt very safe with her. We especially appreciated that she did extra to help us get the computers returned from the Qantas office . It would have been very difficult for us to achieve without her language skills and arrangements she made. I also wish to make a glowing comment for our driver Mr Tong. He is a very patient man and an excellent driver with great skills to move amongst the mixed traffic of Beijing. I can see he takes great pride in time management and his work and also keeping his car beautiful. I’m sure there is a minimal expectation of work ethic but both were very good. I will promote your company to as many people as I can when I can. If I return soon, I will also travel through your company.

He was very prompt in making changes in itinerary when we mentioned what we would like to see. He was also very accommodating for us to book our own accommodation in Xian. He was very upfront in mentioning the cost of hotel rooms. He is one of the best consultants we have worked with.

  3. How’s the service of the tour guides during your whole tour?
  4. The tour guides in Xian and Luoyang are good in English. They were puncture, patient and professional with our requests. We visited all the places as outlined in the itinerary with good timing for each site.  The quides were courteous. We are very happy with them.

  5. The drivers were courteous and professional. We felt comfortable with them,

However, in a few cases, the choice of vegetarian restaurants and the dishes can be improved. We understand that the vegetarian choices are limited in Xian and Luoyang but extra effort would have been much appreciated. Another area they can improve on is the explanation of the tour site. We observed that the Chinese language tour guides for local tours were very thorough in their explanation.

In conclusion, we will be glad to engage China Discovery in our next trip to China.

My friend Wayne had some back trouble on the penultimate day but the treatment Dr Liu gave him seems to have put him right. A good example of Chinese medicine!

Many blessings

Dear Wonder,

It was our first time travelling with China Discovery, and we must say our tour of Hangzhou and Huangshan from 12-19 September 2017 was most enjoyable. For ease of discussion, we have divided our tour into three parts – Hangzhou 12-15, Huangshan 15-18, Hangzhou 18-19 – because the guides were different for each leg. To gauge our tour satisfaction, we asked ourselves two questions:

1. Would we travel with China Discovery again?

2. What factors contributed to our satisfaction?

Without a doubt, if we were to travel within China again, we would rate China Discovery very highly in our choice of tour operator. Mr Wonder Wang has been very approachable, giving suggestions while taking into consideration all our inputs and ideas, plus answering all our questions in a timely manner. It is no idle boast when they say they will answer every email within 24 hours. When we wanted a change of hotel for variety’s sake for our last night in Hangzhou, 18th, Wonder was amenable to our request. This last night in Hangzhou led us to explore a different side of West Lake, vastly changing our erstwhile bland impression of the famed tourist site.

May we suggest that you advise your clients to stay, when in Hangzhou, in Sofitel rather than in Dragon Hotel. The proximity of Sofitel to the far-more-vibrant bank of West Lake makes for amazing photo opportunities, colourful evening strolls and stops at interesting eateries. Of course, there could be a price differentiation between the two 5-star hotels, but location is worth paying for.

For the Huangshan segment of our tour, we cannot commend any more highly the impeccable services offered by our English-speaking guide, Mr Jerry Xia. That he knew well the places of interest, had local knowledge, and historical insights were to be expected of any competent guide. However, he often went out of his way to ensure our comfort and security. He not only checked us into our hotels, but also secured rooms with a double bed, a view and away from noisy guests. He was the first guide in all our years of travel to lead us to our rooms (what happened to the bellboys?) and check that our rooms were satisfactory, before leaving. Since the evening meals were not included in the tour, he often gave us suggestions on what to eat. Thanks to him we can brag that we have tasted Hangzhou’s famed Stinky Fish!

When guiding us, he always had a plan, which he would introduce as his “suggestion”. (This was Jerry – helpful without being obtrusive and loud.) Without hesitation, we would agree, and never once did we regret doing so. In this manner, we saw Hongcun and Xidi in one afternoon, taking away with us many beautiful shots of the water towns that rightly deserve their Unesco status.

Huangshan was equally stunning. After we had arrived in the afternoon, Jerry showed us the way to Purple Cloud Peak, prepping us for the 4.30am climb tomorrow morning to catch the sunrise. And in case we got thirsty, he had carried two bottles of water for us up the mountain. We promptly declined because we had brought some bottles with us too. When this argument proved useless with him, we pressed one bottle upon him. Again he politely declined, saying very diplomatically that he preferred the locals’ Longjin tea. The next day’s trek down to Xihai Grand Canyon was spectacular. True, it was nature at its best; not to be outdone was China’s amazing engineering feat in sticking the spindly staircase to the mountainside. We also have many photos to help us recall the extraordinary views.

Will we redo Huangshan? There is a good possibility and, taking Jerry’s advice, we might do it even in winter to see the Yellow Mountain in a totally different colour. One point is non-negotiable -- Jerry must be the guide.

Please see photos attached.

All the best to you, Wonder.

Hi Wonder,

This is Lisa's/our feedback on the trip. You are welcome to use it. I've attached a few photos.

Three adults, extended family members, traveled to China for sight-seeing and to visit adult children studying and working in Suzhou. Wonder at China Discovery was terrific. An itinerary was suggested to us (at a reasonable rate) and then modified according to feedback about things we wanted to do and see over several emails back and forth. Wonder responded quickly to requests for more information or changes. It meant that we were able to personalize our trip (now with experience I'd personalize even more). We chose to upgrade to five star hotels, for example. The hotels selected by China Discovery were excellent, except for the Pan Pacific in Suzhou (very beautiful in public areas with a great restaurant, but rooms were not kept up as well and location not preferable). Hotels in Beijing, Xian and Shanghai were in particularly good locations and all had included wifi (usually of good quality). We were also able to add another family member and friend living in China to join us on specific days for touring. Each city had an individual guide and driver with car (usually a seven-passenger minivan) who handled transfers from train stations and airports and toured with us for about eight hours each day. Because we were a small group (usually three or at most five of us) we could speak in depth with our guides. A very extensive full breakfast was included at the hotel (with Chinese, American and European choices - always good and often outstanding), and our guide arranged a pickup time the day before. We saw a lot each day and there was a lot of walking - the days were full. Except for Beijing arrival, the transfers were very easy. At each sightseeing stop and for transfers our guides picked up tickets for us and at sights accompanied us inside and narrated a cultural tour. We were on our own once we passed security at train stations and airports but our guides gave us good instructions first so we never felt lost. Our tour guides were good, although some stood out as fantastic. We spent several days with Johnny in Xian, and he was extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history and pleasantly social (along with our driver there who had a good sense of humor). Leedan in Hangzhou was very energetic and also warm and friendly. We enjoyed her company. Lily in Shanghai was very cheerful and bright and Mr. Wu our driver was quick to assist with luggage. Lily was also very very helpful in recovering a mobile phone forgotten in a restaurant, and at our lunch in Shanghai ran next door to get some special fried dumplings for us to try. Another benefit to having a private guide is at included lunches. Our guides all carefully asked about any allergies or food restrictions (we had none). We had several "foodies" in the group and the guides learning our preferences took care to order dishes or even select lunch spots that were more adventuresome and local to the area. There was always more than enough food for our group and it was excellent quality with a lot of variety. We particularly enjoyed lunches in Xian, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Our guide Jenny in Suzhou arranged a boat ride for us and took us (at our request) for tea tasting at a local shop. We were generally on our own for dinner. Selected sights were mostly very good to outstanding. The Great Wall (near Beijing) and Terracotta Warriors (near Xian) were highlights. The Muslim Quarter in Xian is an absolute must for foodies (go see it at night too). The Lingering Garden and Pingjiang Road in Suzhou were lovely, interesting and fun. Feilai Peak in Hangzhou was unique. The trip up to the observation deck in the Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai gave an impressive view both outside and inside (into the 88-story Grand Hyatt atrium). If you don't want to visit multiple Buddhist temples or museums or want more shopping or a slower pace, be sure to make this clear. There were always options offered to see additional sights or for activities (like boat or bike rides) at an optional extra cost when available and time permitted. The only negatives in visiting China were the long air travel, traffic and other drivers, and public restrooms (not a style Americans are used to). Car drop off and pick up at each sight was usually handled extremely smoothly, and the drivers handled the traffic conditions well. Another huge positive were the Chinese who approached us or who worked in the hotels - usually friendly, helpful, and interested in speaking or interacting with us. Wonder shared the names and phone contact for our guides in each city ahead of the tour, along with all of the flight and train numbers and schedules (and of course a confirmation letter with itinerary for obtaining the visa). Overall we really appreciate Wonder and the team from China Discovery and would highly recommend them to other American or English-speaking tourists. We enjoyed our trip very much.

Best regards,

Juan

We really liked our tour guide, Sandy.  He was very professional, knowledgeable, yet personable at the same time.  We enjoyed all the stories he told us about the panda reserve, and about Chengdu.  He was genuinely concerned that my children will not enjoy the cafeteria food provided for the panda reserve employees, but they were fine.  I really appreciate his caring, it's very touching.

I would highly recommend your company to my friends and family.  We would definitely use your company next time we visit China.

Wonder,

We (a couple of U.S. residence) planned to travel to China. Since I was interested in landscape painting, we choose four well-known places (Great Wall, Guilin, Zhangjiajie, and Yellow Mountain) to visit through Beijing and Shanghai.  With a tight schedule, we arranged a private tour through China Discovery rather than a group tour. It was a tight schedule with 8 nights and 9 days, but we made it, beyond our expectation, with the tour arranged by China Discovery. 

Here are our comments on the tour:

1. Our travel consultant (Wonder Wang) was not only proficient in making the tour plan and schedule, but also responded promptly to our questions and needs through e-mail and phone calls.  For example, disappointingly we missed our original planned flight to Beijing (our first stop) due to an unexpected passport problem encountered during the departing procedure at the airport.  With Wonder’s prompt response to our problem, we were able to catch the next flight and accomplished our china tour as planned. It was a great relief, which could not have happened without his help.

2. The tour arrangement was well planned covering important aspect of the touring places with efficient transportation from one place to another.  The hotels reserved for us were excellent. Their quality and services are as good as 5-star hotels in the United States.

3. Tour guides were on-time, kind, and flexible to our needs.  They were knowledgeable about the place that they were guiding and fluent in English.  We were very comfortable while touring the places.

4. We are very impressed with the service provided by China Discovery.  China Discovery provides top quality touring services with a reasonable expense.  We strongly recommend China Discovery to others who plan to visit China.

5. It was our first time to visit China, but we had some limited knowledge about China through news, magazine, and friends who had traveled China before.  Based on the limited knowledge, we were a little concerned about our China trip.  However, we changed our minds of China completely after our visit.  China is safe, clean, and modernized.  People are kind and look happy.

6.  The convenient features prepared for the tourists are amazing.  Cable cars, trams, and escalators to the top of mountains make it possible to reach the tourist spots in a short time with ease.  It was relatively easy to walk around on trails in the mountains – every trail is paved leading to vista points, and there were no dirt trails. Some trails are built on the cliff for which many workers lost their life during the construction.  We really appreciate their dedication and hard work.  Without their sacrifice, it would be much more difficult to view these beautiful world famous sceneries.

7.  We also experienced some problems in infrastructure in public place.  Often times, domestic flights were delayed. Even in a big airport such as Xian, there were no directions posted in English, nor a guide for foreigners. That made it difficult for us to go to the next gate in time for the next destination. Because of these problems, we missed our flight from Xian to Zhangjiajie.  These kinds of problems need to be corrected or improved.

8.  Our experience and comments can be shared with others as a reference.  I also attach several panoramic pictures taken during our tour, which can be used in your publication.

Sincerely,

Kyoung

Just back from the extension of the trip to Vietnam.

First thank you for all your work to make this trip to China memorable. All of the arrangements were in place, all of the guides and drivers meet as as scheduled, all of the hotels were 4 star and we were well received every where we went.

All of our guides Stephen in Beijing, Jacob Lee in Xian, cherry in Chongging, Nancy in Yichang

And Yao in Shangai were all knowledgeable, helpful and fun to be with.

I must single out Cherry. Our flight from Xian was 3 hrs late and we arrived with 45 minutes to make it to the boat for the Yangtze River cruise. She was there took charge of our luggage and

Was in touch with the boat to tell them of our progress. When we reached the the dock she

Grabbed our largest suitcase and took off down the dock to get us to the ship on time. She is a

Great asset to your company as were all the guides and drivers.

My only complaint is the internal flights in China. Beijing to Xian 1.5 hrs late. Xian to Chongging

3 hrs late. Yichang to Shanghai 4.5 hrs late (arrived at 2 am but was happy to see the driver Waiting for us)

There was no information from the airlines about the delays or how long they would be, we were just left to wait in the terminal. From what I understand this is normal and while I know there is nothing you can do about it you should work delays into the schedules and advise your clients about it.

Again thank you for all your work. It was a wonderful trip.

I will gladly recommend you to anyone interested in travel in China.

You are welcome to put this e mail and the photos below on your website.

I have nothing but good things to say about you. Since day one that I contacted you after finding you on China Discovery website, you have provided us with an exceptional service.  Wonder has been prompt, clear, and trustworthy on all his responses. Every time I had questions he emailed me back right away with honest responses. He worked with me, arranged and fulfilled all my requirements I had for this trip. Even during our stay in China he emailed us to make sure everything was going well while visiting China.

We traveled in several cities of China. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, on time, tried to accommodate everything as scheduled in the itinerary. We were pleased with hotels chosen for us and the breakfast buffet was great. Lunches provided in Xian, Guilin, and Zhangjiajie were amazing. I wished and hoped lunches provided in Beijing and Shanghai were as good as in the other places. We had Carol as our guide on Zhangjiajie tour and we loved her. She went above and beyond by making herself available even after hours of sightseeing time for the day. She knew right away what we were more interested on seeing and doing while visiting the beautiful area of Zhangjiajie.   We liked Eric while visiting Beijing. He was a good source of information and made us understand better the culture and history of China.

I would definitely recommend your agency to my friends. We hope to go back and visit China again; it was a lifetime experience for us.

Thank you for your great service.

Wonder you rock!  We would love to have you again as our coordinator on our next visit to China.

Already during organizing of our trip you had all the time very fast response, usually you answered already the same day and this was also important reason why at beginning I decided to go with China discovery ( at beginning I contacted 3 travel agencies). All guides had offer us promised and expected service, especially we would like to thank and praise Mrs. Ellen (from Huangshan) and Mr. Kennedy (from Gullian), who really put personal signature on the tour. The tour was excellent combination of cities (Shanghai, Beijing), nature (yellow mountains, cruise on Li river, bicycling around Yangshuo), history ( Tuxi, Hongcun and Xidi, Teracota warriors, China great wall...) and cultural events ( we enjoyed acrobatic show Era in Shangai, local show near Hot spring/ Yellow mountains and in Yangshuo). If we will visit China again, we will go for sure with China Discovery and we will recommend China discovery with pleasure also to others, who plan visit to China.

We enjoy the cruise but it's a shame that you don't provide a light meal the first day, registered between 18 and 20h1/2. The captain diner was a mistake, poor service, cold food... petty because the waiters where very friendly.

The visit of the dam is a shdow of a visit, too far away, no seen on the spot and the pseudo entry through the visiter center is a jocke.

Days 2 and 3 were a good experience, nice scenary, nice people.

We have returned from a truly fantastic trip to China, thanks mostly to the organization and professionalism of you and your company, China Discovery.

After our tour that you arranged ended, we made our way to Shunned railway station where we were met and taken to our hotel. Many other relatives also met up there.

On Monday 1st May we attended my Nephew’s wedding reception and then the next day travelled to Hong Kong for a few days before flying home to Australia.

My Cousin and his wife also attended the wedding and then set off with China Discovery to do our tour backwards, ending in Beijing. They must be there now. (Also named Butow…)

As to your questions;

You were most certainly fast enough to answer our emails, and most patient and thorough in answering all our questions.

The tour guides were all good, some better than others.

Eric in Beijing was particularly good and friendly.

Nancy in Chengdu also needs to be mentioned. She was very friendly and an excellent guide.

I think the guide in Chongqing was named Amy, she seemed more interested in her mobile phone than us, but did meet her obligations.

Dave in Guilin was not as confident and seemed hesitant to assist but was knowledgeable when questioned.

We would not hesitate to recommend your company. We already have and hence my Cousin and his wife are now touring with you.

We have already mentioned how well organized our tour was to many of our friends.

Wonder, thanks to the organization and attention to detail, every part of our trip went fantastically well.

We were promptly met as expected; we were guided to see everything we wanted and able to make small adjustments along the way.

We were assisted with check-in at our hotels, assisted with often quite congested airport transfers and railway station transfers to get us to our next location.

We were really impressed with the operation of your railway stations and trains, especially the Bullet train to Xian.

Most of the guides provided us with bottles of water, for which we were grateful, and took us to nice restaurants and ensured we were well provided for with meals.

Everything went so smoothly, was so well arranged. Thank you again for a great holiday in China.

We are happy for you to use any part of this email, as you see fit.

Yours sincerely,

John and Pauline

We have finally returned home after an exceptional tour to Nepal and Tibet.

I would like to thank you for putting it all together and for the very good efforts of the Nepal and Tibet teams.

There were some exceptional people such as Nabaraj in Nepal and Pendon in Tibet who, because of who they were, helped to make the tour a memorable one for us. Please thank them personally for us as well as the other people like Sunita. They are all a tremendous asset to any tour.

Dear Wonder,

Just a quick note to THANK YOU very much for the excellent trip you had organised for us. And for booking us with Lisa, the best tour guide ever!!!! :-)

We have just loved your beautiful country, and enjoyed every minute of the week spent there!!! :-)

I have written a review to TripAdvisor, but am not really sure that it is the right place to post it, as the only thing I could find when searching China Discovery on TripAdvisor was “China Discovery - Day Tour”, referring to the Panda Base in Chengdu.

Therefore, I am copying my review to this email.  Please feel free to publish it wherever this might be useful for you, or please send me the links if you want me to publish it myself.

I can also add pictures if you wish. Just tell me if I should send them to you, or publish them myself in the links you would provide.

Once again, thank you for everything!  We will definitely contact you again if we are coming back to China!

REVIEW TRIPADVISOR:

I don't write reviews very often.  However, this time, I really felt the need to do so.

We decided to travel to China with our 5 children, knowing nothing about the country.  I read a lot, came across many different reviews and contacted approx. 10 travel agents to help us with the planning of our trip. 

China Discovery came out as the perfect solution.

From Day1, China Discovery met all our expectations.  Not only were they extremely fast in answering all our request (all emails answered within 24 hrs), but they also understood our needs perfectly and came with suggestions that proved during our trip to be excellent.

Let us also mention the flexibility of China Discovery, who adapts to your wishes.  You can book parts of your trip, only some of the hotels or restaurants...  You really decide what you wish and China Discovery adapts to your desires.  From there, they design the tour and pick ups to have the most convenient itinerary based on your choices.

Wonder Wang, our contact for the trip preparation, is 100% reliable, clear, concise and of excellent advice.  He also speaks a perfect English, which is always easy and convenient...

Lisa, our tour guide during our stay, was the sweetest person ever.  She supervised everything for us, in a way that we had never experienced before.  (She took care of the check in of our flights and of our hotels, even though these hotels had not been booked via China Discovery.  She was on the phone until midnight one day, because one of our kid had lost his camera, and she wanted to make sure it had not been found by an employee upon closing time.  These things clearly didn't fall into the list of things she was supposed to do for us. ) 

She assisted us in a non-touristic way, and in a perfect understanding of the western expectations.  (Very good advice for ordering food in restaurants, for example, or for the places to avoid for shopping...)

Last thing to mention: we had a domestic flight postponed (not the responsibility of China Discovery), leading to the cancellation of an activity in our planning.  The next day, our guide, Lisa, was refunding us in cash money without even having been requested by us.

You understood my point: China Discovery is strongly to be recommended!!!! 

Kindest regards,

Larissa

Hello Wonder,

It has been almost 2 weeks since we returned from our trip. I would like to comment on a few things:-

1.    The trip was very well organized by you and the arrangements were seamless. Everything was as you described. I really appreciate your honest and frank advice. A big thank you to you Wonder!

2.    The hotels were much better than we expected. They were clean and well maintained, with good hot showers.

3.    Our guides were really excellent and very good people. Although we only had 2 days with Lisa we find her very professional and a nice lady. Our Tibetan guide, DJ, was very knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. What we really appreciate about DJ was his sense of care and responsibility. When we had some health problems with one of our members, he took care of everything and made most of the decisions for us especially as regards to the ambulance and the hospital arrangements. He was extremely caring which comforted us a lot. All of us think very highly of him.

4.    We would also like to praise your company in the way your staff in Lhasa took care of our friend in the hospital. They made all arrangements and one of them even paid the hospital fee for him before we arrived. That was heartwarming and went beyond her responsibility. Fantastic service and care!

All in all, the trip was very well organized and enjoyable. A very big thank you to you, Tibet Discovery staff in Lhasa, Lisa and especially DJ!

Thanks a lot

Dear Wonder,

Thank you so very much for organizing our trip to China and Tibet. From the very first e mail to you, right through to us leaving China after 17 very memorable days, everything was perfect. You, your company and your representatives in China and Tibet were nothing other than professional, courteous and a pleasure to spend time with. The guides we had at every destination were very knowledgeable, spoke very good English and a credit to your company, but above all they were also very nice, easy going people, and I feel they went further than they need to have, to make sure our trip was an enjoyable and memorable one.

If it was on our itinerary it happened, and it happened on time, that's not always been the case on other trips we have taken! Not once were we left scratching our heads at the airport or railway station wondering where our guides were. I could probably write chapters telling you all about our trip, I won’t; I will just say "thank you very much, without you it wouldn't have been possible" I wouldn't hesitate in recommending you and your company to anyone who is thinking of visiting China or Tibet. If anyone wants to contact me then please pass on my e mail address.

Many, many thanks

We just got back home from the journey. We arrived at Incheon airport last night however, couldn't get on the bus to Daejeon because of no ticket available. We stayed in Seoul overnight and took bus to Daejeon this morning.

your responses to my questions were really fast and I got all the necessary informations right away. No complaint what so ever.

The cruise was very good. Scenery was fantastic, the Sanxia Dam was overwhelming and weather was very cooperative throughout the cruises. Food was OK. We had met wonderful people at the dining table, Germans, American, Pueto Ricans, and Britishes on the downstream cruise. On the up stream cruise, we had all German guests at the table, and majority of the cruise guests were Chineses. Overall it was a good experience and we will remember for a long time.

I hardly take pictures nowadays. I used to have several cameras and enjoyed to take pictures. But after the digital camera and smart phone were invented, I don't care about picture taking any more.

Hello Wonder,

I apologize for the late response - we have having a very pleasant vacation.

1) You (our travel consultant) have provided excellent service. You have made it easy for a foreign customer to work with a China based tour company. Your responses have been prompt and any delays due to your own holidays have not mattered at all. The tour itself was fantastic. We loved Huangshan and the time on the Mountain.

We also very much appreciated your flexibility in arranging train tickets for the intercity travel during the rest of our time in China.

2) The tour guides were very good. Not surprisingly, the guide we spent the most time with Nicole (Huangshan & Huangshan Mountain) gave us the most enduring memories and was a pleasure to work with.

3) We have no hesitation in recommending your company to other travelers.

When I sift through my many photos, I will gladly send you some for you to share.

Dear Wonder,

The answers to your questions:

  1. Our travel consultant was very helpful in planning our trip to fit our needs. All our questions were answered promptly and satisfactory.
  2. The hotels and public transport were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking up the mountain and all the sightseeing in Huangshan and Xian.

Both tour guides were always strictly on time. Ivan was our guide in the Yellow Mountains. He was always very friendly, enthusiastic and engaging and patient. An excellent guide.

Johnny was our tour guide in Xian. He has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and gave us a very good historical perspective. The down side was that he was not enthusiastic and engaging. We were also very disappointed that he did not take us through the Ancient Weapons Hall at the terracotta warriors site. We only realised that afterwards. He also insisted that the driver could not pick us up after 6 in the evening. We had to pay for a taxi to take us home 8h00 that evening.

  1. I will highly recommend the service of China Discovery.
  2. Your website and arrangements was good. The most important person is the travel consultant. If he/she is willing and helpful it makes all the difference. I eventually choose China Discovery because Wonder Wang was more helpful compared to another consultant at a different company.

Hi Wonder,

Thank you so much for checking in with us. We had a really enjoyable cruise and I am very happy to provide a feedback for your kind assistance and the brilliance of Victoria Cruises. Please see my responses below.

I was assisted by Wonder Wang, who replied promptly to all my emails and provided further details which helped me to make an informed choice. Your experience and knowledge on the cruise packages also helped me to tailor our holiday to our specific needs.

Your company's process also helped to make the booking and payment for the cruise really smooth and straight forward.

Our experience of the cruise was brilliant from the time we stepped onto Victoria Jenna till we left. Special mention of gratitude to Dr. Li who went out of his way to accompany me to hospital when I had an unfortunate accident and ensured I had received the care I needed. I cannot imagine how events would have turned out without Dr. Li's help.

The route of the cruise was well planned and the shore excursions were well organised in small groups.

The service on board the Jenna was excellent. From the food and beverage to house keeping and entertainment. We could not fault a thing.

The river guides were very knowledgable and provided valuable insights about the local area and history.

All my needs were adequately met so I can only say Victoria Cruises should keep doing a great job.

I shall try and attached some pictures here for you but if it doesn't work I will send it in a separate email.

Feel free to post my review on your website and look out for recommendations I will send your way. Wonder.

Thank you for a job well done!

It is been 2 weeks since my friends and I return from our holiday in China. We all enjoyed ourselves very much and we thank you for the good arrangement except for a few hick-ups in misunderstanding and email communication. All went well for our tour except for the incident in X'ian where one of our group members was lost for 2 hours. And the other problem was the knives and scissors that we could not carry on board the High Speed Train.

Please let me know whether you are able to arrange for someone to bring the knives and scissors back to Kuala Lumpur.

I would like to let you know that we were really pleased with the tour guides and drivers, especially the driver in Turpan/Urumqi. One of our group members sprained her ankle in Urumqi and he took his own initiative to buy a pack of ice for her to put on her ankle. We were also impressed with Lu Ming for his good command of English and details stories of the places we visited although it was only for half a day.

Each of the guides - Randy, Fran, and Kim - were extremely helpful, friendly, and intelligent and provided us with extensive information on the cities and sites which we visited. In our conversations with each of the guides, we were also able to get a glimpse into the personal and family lives of Chinese people. The drivers provided us with bottled water which we very much appreciated during the hot weather.

Every tour was fantastic. However I have a few notes:

1) Xian is perfect for a full day (two at most).The show offered (Tang Dinasty... not very good)

2) Luoyang + DaFeng =INCREDIBLE (Shaolin Temple + Longmen Grotto was unbelievable) The show offered: Zen Ritual is AMAZING! One of the biggest productions Ive ever seen,

3) Beijing was Ok. The Great Wall (from the mountain) is certainly spectacular! Not crowded at all at the sights are very good. The shows offered were very "touristic" (good, but not over the top)

4) Lhasa is really something spectacular. We would like to have some options for the night (a show perhaps).

Regarding to tour guides

Tashi (Lhasa) - Tashi is super good. He´s one of the most experienced tour guides I’ve ever met. His knowledge about Tibet is truly amazing. Also very patient.

Angela (Xian). She’s a fine tour guide, very attentive and very careful regarding to information she gave us.

Snow (Luoyang). A very friendly guide! And funny too! We had a great time with her.

Hi Wonder,

I'm doing fine, thanks. It was a good tour except for the long flight delay(both,onward & return journey). However, Jean handled the situation very well and tried to accommodate most of the sightseeing in the limited available time.

1) Yes, the travel consultant from Bamboo Tours was fast & patient enough to answer my questions.

2) Tour guide Jean was excellent. She spoke very good English & had thorough knowledge of the places she took us to. Her attitude was very pleasant & friendly.

3) Sure, shall recommend your tour agency.

Hi Wonder,

Good to hear from you. Yes, I'm still in China - visiting a Chinese friend in Beijing. And back to Shanghai tomorrow. I really enjoyed Tibet, and had no problems with the altitude.

I am glad you will refund the money. Can you do it via Paypal? That is how I paid you, so that might be easiest.

The cruise experience was excellent, and the cruise exceeded all of our expectations! The service was impeccable, the shore excursions were exceptional, and our suite (We upgraded to the Celestial Suite) was out of this world fantastic! We had our own private sun deck to view China's incredible beauty from. Wow!

Hello Wonder,

We are back in Melbourne again after a most enjoyable trip. You could not have done any better with organising it. The hotels were as we had hoped, apart from Chengdu , small but with terrific atmosphere, food was very good, guides all good, knowledgeable, friendly, drivers all good and apart from one area where a car had no seatbelts and the driver used his mobile phone whilst driving ( I believe you have been made aware of this incident), transport was very comfortable and we felt very safe .Every contact was punctual, the cruise was very interesting and in general we enjoyed a great variety of scenery and people. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience. We will recommend your company to all our friends and would be quite happy to speak/email with anyone wishing direct contact.

All good wishes to you and your family, it would have been good to meet you but we were told your office was far away.

2)    Tour Guides overall good.

In  order of preference : 1) the best was Linda in Guilin perfect guide and tour leader  -  at par Jason and Timo –  Vivian in Shanghai ok - echo in  Beijing –better as tour leader then guide. But she is also very young and she will improve.

3)    Yes. I’d like to recommend ChinaDiscovery to my friends.

Hi Wonder,

Glad to hear from you again. Yesterday was my first day back in the office. Although I returned back to US on Friday, I spent the weekend in New York with my Family.

Here is my reply 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? Absolutely!! Wonder Wang always responded to my questions or request within 24 hours. 

2. How’s the service of the tour guides during your whole tour? The service level of the tours guide was great. They were all very knowledgeable of the history of the places we visited and explained everything thoroughly. Some of the guides spoke better English than others but we were able to communicate with no problems. We felt very comfortable with all our guides and they made sure all our meals fit our needs and palette. Our only issue was some of the optional tours or shows they offered were pricey and they would only accept cash as payment. Due to this, we had to look for an ATM to withdraw cash.      

3. Would you like to recommend our company? Yes, as a person in the travel industry, I would recommend China Discovery Tours. They are  very easy to work with and can customize your itinerary to your needs.

Best Regards,

Ray

Hi Wonder

In response 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?

I found Wonder Wang and previously Ian Wei to be very professional and quick with their responses to my requests. I would often text a question or request in the morning and have a response in the afternoon. On tour I occasionally requested contact from guides and Wonder would organize this immediately.

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

I found most of our guides very helpful and enjoyed their support, advice and company. Similarly the drivers were skilled and helped make our days go smoothly. I particularly found Wendy in Zhangjiajie, Jean in Mt Huangshan and Tony in Wuzhen to be particularly good.

3. Would you like to recommend our company?

I found your company to be very good.  Out trip was a complex one. The planning and execution required considerable skill and expertise so that the trip was able to be made without problems or exhaustion. The balance was right and the trip went seemlessly.

I would be more than happy to talk to up to 10 prospective customers to support your company.

I am happy for you to use this evaluation.

He designed a great trip for us. He also provided us with all the paperwork we needed for us to obtain our tourist visas in a very timely manner.  Payment options were also really easy to use.

All three of our guides - Happy in Beijing, Waldner in Xi'an and Maria in Shanghai were a delight- knowledgeable, thoughtful and professional; they wanted to make sure we had the best time - which we did.  

We already have recommended you to friends who would like to visit China - SO much better than the big western arranged tours to have your own vehicle and personal guide and itinerary. We felt like royalty. I am attaching one photo from our Red Flag limo in Beijing which sums it all up.

Today, we have 1 free hour, so I started to cover the unanswered emails.First and foremost, thanks for the beautiful gift of a landscape painting.My son took a special liking to it, so I plan to hang it in his room.

The tour in Guilin was very enjoyable in spite of the rainy weather. It is a beautiful city and we enjoyed the magnificent hotel in the center of the city.

Yangshuo was also very enjoyable; I especially liked the Bamboo raft trip and the emotional and magnificent Liu Sanjie show!

The boat trip from Guilin to Yangshuo was not so good, because of the rain and fog, crowded conditions, bad service and terrible lunch.

The guide was very good too, very patient and thoughtful.

Please give a couple of weeks to review all my notes and I promise to write a very positive review for you in Trip Advisor.

We are fine. We have just gotten over our jet lag and starting to get back to normal. 

Wonder, your itinerary for this trip and getting us back to the ancestral villages, as one of the kids said was “Unforgettable”.  To see the joy on the face of my father-in-law’s when we visited his village and to see the joy of my relatives when we met them for the first time and the excitement of the adults and grandkids to see the villages was memorable.  The trip was truly unforgettable.  You helped us make some priceless memories!   Thank you so much!

 

Each of the tour guides, for the lunches, were able to assist us in food allergies and letting the restaurants know of our allergies.  This was very much appreciated. In summary, all the tour guides were very informative, humorous, worked with our group’s needs, helped us board the train/planes and provided great service to our group of 21.

Dear Wonder,

We wanted to write and thank you for the help in making our trip so wonderful. All of the guides arrived on time, and the connections worked out perfectly. We were very pleased with the guides and drivers. We were also very pleased with the hotels that were chosen (although the Yangshou Resort - which is very beautiful - needs some workers who speak English, very odd for a 5-star hotel, and wanting to charge for cappuccino at breakfast was also very odd for such a place, none of the other hotels would have dreamed of it!)

We learned a great deal from the guides, and feel that we have gained a greater understanding of the country, its history and its people. The guides were all willing to make necessary changes (like going to a different part of the Great Wall due to a traffic accident, and it was a good choice!), or arranging to find us a pure vegetarian restaurant in Xian, and a supermarket on Friday in Shanghai so that we could prepare for our Sabbath, not the usual requests, I imagine.

Taking the train was also a very interesting experience, it was a good change from flying all the time.

If you ever get a chance to be in touch with the mayor in Kaifeng, you might mention that it is very bad for business to close the floors in the museum that have the Jewish artifacts, and not to keep up the old Jewish area: in Shanghai the authorities have made a beautiful museum and it is a big tourist attraction, in Kaifeng they are missing out and could attract many Western visitors! (The Millennium park and the rebuilt city hall/temple area is also very nice, and I am glad that we saw it, but I see that there are few Western visitors, and this is a genuine tourist attraction that they are not taking advantage of).

The jade factory and tea house in Beijing and the terracotta factory in Xian, and the pearl place in Guilin were very nice (bought something in each place).

We enjoyed all of the shows, especially the Tang dynasty and the Yangshou show, and the kung-fu was unexpectedly interesting as it had so much more than just a demonstration of kung-fu.

Did you receive any feedback on us from any of the guides?

We have already recommended your company to our friends, perhaps someday you will get another e-mail from Israel…

We were impressed with your quick and almost immediate response (even on weekends) as well as your polite and direct reply. It was one of the factors that helped us decide which travel agent to go with. In addition, we also appreciated that you were understanding with regards to the second deposit payment as this saved us some considerable amount in foreign exchange.

The arrangements for our tour were well planned as everything went on smoothly. We were met by your guides from point to point and we appreciated that they carried out the checking in and out at all the transportation hubs quite efficiently. Generally, the guides were competent in their tasks, punctual and were able to explain relatively well in english. In particular, our Changsa guide made us feel quite welcome with her thoughtfulness by getting us some local snacks on our arrival in Changsa. It's these little gestures that adds value to the services of a guide.

We were quite happy with the 4 star hotels in Xian and Chongqing as the rooms were comfortable and well equipped with all types of amenities. They were centrally located and close to transport systems. As for the Changsa hotel, the location was superb but I think the hotel is old and some of the amenities were not in good working condition.

Yes, we will be recommending your company to our friends who are keen to travel to China and require english speaking guides.

Beijing - Johnny - He did a good job, but didn't do any more than he had to. He produced the Feed Back Form just before we were to catch the train, leaving us no time to fill it in, so we signed a blank form and he filled it in himself.

Xian - Donna - She was very good, friendly and helpful and catered to all our needs.

Jiuzhaigou - Frank (Dong Dong) - Very good, extremely knowledgeable and easy going.

Chengdu - Berry Panda - He did a good job and helpful.

Guilin/Yangshou - Jenny - The best guide of the trip. Excellent with a great personality.

Chongqing - David - We were only with him for half a day, but didn't seem to interested and not overly flexible.

Shanghai - Shirley - She was OK but after reviewing the weather forecast she decided to change the tour schedule and visit the Water Town the first day when the weather was fine and clear.

We would definitely recommend China Discovery. A private tour of China allows you to visit and see the sights that we are interested in without following the same tourist path as many of the other tour companies.

We are having a fantastic time in China so far & are very excited for our Yangtze River cruise starting today. Can you tell us exactly where to find the Victoria Katarina please? We will be arriving at Chongqing North by bullet train from Chengdu & plan to take a taxi to the ship.

Many thanks,

1:  Our travel consultant, Wonder Wang, was excellent. He promptly and completely answered all questions that I asked prior to the trip. Towards the end of the tour, a flight was cancelled with no prior notification to the fliers or to the tour company.  Through Mr. Wang, the problem was swiftly and professionally resolved, providing seats on the only remaining flight of the day, on a different airline, at no additional cost.

2:  We had 2 tour guides. The first was Jiang Yong, who led our tour during the several day stay in Lhasa.  He was personable and knowledgeable, providing information and answering all specific questions in a way that deepened and broadened understanding of Tibetan culture and customs.  Although the attractions on the tour were obviously amazing, it was his reverent-patient presentations/explanations that made the visit so much more meaningful.  The second tour guide was Lob Sang, who led a partial day tour in Xining at the Ta'er/Kumbum Monastery.  There was not sufficient time in the tour to develop a personable relationship with him, but he was professional in every way.  And it might be noted, it was he who importantly was able to best convey the problem with the flight cancellation, dealing each with airline personnel of the cancelling airline, airline personnel of the airline providing later in day service, and with Mr. Wang of the tour company for the purchase of tickets.  At his insistence, he remained with us until the ticket-purchase could be verified.

3:  The tour was simply amazing. I've read many books about Tibet, but this for me was a lifetime journey to personally appreciate Tibetan culture in reality. The planning, the tour guides, the attractions…all were appropriately fitted into a specifically busy schedule which included other travel commitments. Our tour group was just 4 people plus the guide and driver, enabling both a broad array of questions and no difficulty in hearing responses and other information.

I would have a difficult time choosing among travel photos taken, and yet, I doubt that any I'd send would add to your inventory in a meaningful way. Just know that I would heartily recommend the tour to others, noting that a fair amount of climbing is essential to enjoy the attractions. Also, tour participants should be mindful that all of China is on one time zone, if other China travels are planned as well.

Thanks for your excellent tour services.

Mr Wonder Wang

Thank you for the email. I meant to email you as well, to thank you directly. We were very impressed by your organisation of the trip and would definitely recommend you to our friends, if they were to visit China. The transport and accommodation were all excellent, we were very happy. The high speed train was very impressive. The delay in the flight from Guilin to Beijing was nothing to do with you.

The trips were very interesting, albeit the last day was very busy, with perhaps too many things to do and we had to cut out the bike trip to the Bunyan Tree and Moon Rock, in truth we could have omitted the Pearl factory but that is the only change we would make. We definitely would recommend a bit more time on Xi'an city walls, we took a bike for an hour but could have spent longer there.

The guides were really good, Gerry was excellent. He was very well informed and very polite. Jayne was very nice but got a bit pressurised on the last day trying to fit everything in. These observations aren't meant as a criticism, we appreciate that China has so much to offer and the time is very short to take in what we did in the six days.

Thank you again, you and your company were brilliant!

Sorry it took so long to say Thank You for your follow up. You had been so gracious to call me this morning, we were in route to the 3 Gorges when you called, unfortunately we got disconnected before I could even say Thank You for your being so concerned about us on your day off from work. 

Everything went so smoothly from Yichang to Zhangjiajie, Fe from Yichang waited and made sure we were situated in our cabin before she said goodbye, she even got us a porter to help us with the luggages.

When we arrived in Zhangjiajie, Lily was already standing by the train looking for us. She even helped with our luggages by herself. Both guides from these 2 places did absolutely wonderful. But I knew it is all because of you being on top of everything.

What ever happened is in the past, I am the kind of person that never look back, I only look forward. The reason I brought them to your attention was for the sole purpose of just updating.

Later we went to the Ebony Museum, what an amazing & massive collection! In the evening we went to see a show, it was the 4th show we saw,  one in Shanghai, one in Huangshan, one in Yangshou, and the best one here on Sichuan. It was almost 10:30 pm my time we got back to the hotel.

And this morning we had to wake up early for our 8 o'clock journey to Mt.Emei. We climbed the steeped & very wet steps, it was a little hard today because it was so cloudy and cold and the air is so thin on top! We did not walk down the mountain, instead, we rode the Sedan Chair! What an experience! We loved it. Those guys are so strong and fast!! "

Hi Wonder,

Sorry I have taken so long to get around to writing to you to give you our feed-back.

Firstly, let me say that we were very happy with the way you organised our China trip for us.  Your service to us was of the highest standard and we thank you sincerely for that.

GUILIN:

Guide - Linda - a very pleasant young lady with very good English language skills.

Hotel - Bravo - good quality, clean, comfortable, good location.  Breakfast - both western and chinese was quite awful.

Driver/Vehicle - both very good - no improvement needed.

Guilin to Kunming (soft-sleeper train) - I realise that this is outside of your control however I will still advise you of our experience.  Our compartment was used and dirty when we boarded the train.

KUNMING:

Guide - Wayan - very personable, friendly, and knowledgeable young man.  We very much enjoyed his company and the information which he shared with us about Kunming, its surrounds, and China in general. Wayan chose good restaurants and local dishes for us to enjoy.  He made us feel that he was always doing his best to ensure that our time with him was the best he could make it.

Hotel - Jinjian - good quality, clean, comfortable. Although the hotel was handy to the railway station it was not a particularly good location. Breakfast was the best that we experienced during our time in China. 

Driver/Vehicle - both very good - no improvement needed.

LIAJIANG:

Guide - Sophie - very personable, friendly, and caring young woman.  We enjoyed her company and her bubbly personality. 

Hotel - He Xi - clean and comfortable in an excellent location.

Driver/Vehicle - both very good - no improvement needed.

JINGHONG:

Guide - Mike - our least experienced guide but by far our most enthusiastic.  Mike is an outstanding young man who with experience will prove to be a major asset to your company.

Hotel - Tai Garden - good quality, clean, comfortable, with OK location.

Driver/Vehicle - both very good - no improvement needed.

All in all a very satisfactory experience.  One suggestion might be, for groups such as ours who are responsible for finding their dinner each evening, you might provide a list of suggested local restaurants. Perhaps a short tour of the city area would help your guests to orient themselves with regard to their hotel and its locale. We found Guilin and Lijiang relatively easy for this but Kunming and Jinghong were more of a challenge.

Thank you for all of your assistance.

Kindest regards,

Paul Hamill

By the way, has the gift we sent you - did you receive it yet?  It is nearly 2 months. We are losing hope by now and feel that this this must have been confiscated as we sent cash. It was too complicated to send money orders or transfers to China. As explained to us, you would have to go to Hong Kong to cash it. There was no order way we could think of which would be feasible for you.

I am thinking now. We paid for our trip through Pay Pal. Would this work if we sent you something personal through your Company Pay Pal account - just for you?

My wife and I took a 6 day trip private starting at the Wulingyuan National Park and ending at the ancient town of Fenghuang. The tour was arranged by China Discovery. It was a great trip: well arranged and managed, excellent local guide who is a native of the area and spoke good English. We are glad to have Wonder Wang of China Discovery managed our trip. We are already planning our next trip (to Guangxi) with Wonder. We have used other China-based travel agencies arranged our previous trips and this one is one of the best.

We will definitely engage you to plan for our next trip to Guilin China. By the way when is the best season to visit Guilin? How many days do I need to cover all the main attractions in Guilin and the neighboring areas like Longsheng and Yangshuo.

Thank you so much.

Regards,

Lilian

Hello Wonder,

Sorry for the delay we have had computer problems. Firstly when we decided to tour China we received information from 2 agents in Australia and 7 in China which included China discovery. Because we had a limited time window to make the tour and we had a very limited knowledge of what to see and where to visit our enquiries changed practically daily and the first agent to respond was Wonder Wang at China discovery. Also we where unaware about China’s Golden Week and you Wonder was the only agent to suggest we bring our trip forward by 3 days to avoid it .

Our tour of Beijing was excellent. We loved the city, loved the food, our meals in Beijing were the best we have ever eaten. We enjoyed all the sites were taken to and we were very happy with our guide Peter. He was passionate about China’s history and spoke very good English. He was also very happy and friendly always on time and nothing was too much trouble. Our driver Mr Tong was very capable and courteous. They drove us to the train station and Peter arranged our tickets and took us to the waiting area which was a great advantage.

The fast train to Xian was a great way to see the countryside and also a great way to travel. No delays and our tour guide Waldner  was waiting with the driver to meet us. They then took us to the hotel where we were upgraded and Waldner came up to the room to make sure everything was okay which it was. Our tour started the next day where we went to the Terracotta warriors which were amazing. Waldner was very knowlegable and he spoke very good English. We thoroughly enjoyed  Xian. Our driver Mr Guo was also a very capable and courteous driver. They drove us to the airport for our next part of the journey and Waldner came into the airport with us and smoothed the way.

The plane was delayed about an hour before arriving into Guilan but our tour guide Evelyn was waiting  to take us to our hotel and spoke very good english. This hotel was in an excellent location and we were happy to wander in the streets. We called Evelyn our pocket dynamo as she always got us the best seats at any event we went to. We loved the rice fields in the mountains at Longshuo and spent an enjoyable day there. The lunch was amazing. Then the river trip on the river Li was lovely and we did enjoy Youngshuo. Our driver Mr Wong very pleasant and excellent driver.

So Mr Wonder Wang many thanks from us we have had a wonderful experience and an unforgettable journey.

Hi wonder,

This is just to inform you that I m very happy rosky. I couldn't t ask more than a guide like him. He is extremely helpful n a very good guide. The tour today went very well. He specially brought me to a silk factory bc I wanted to buy silk. He even stayed late and waited for me to watch the Sichuan opera show. He also helped me buy an adapter at my request. He has organised the whole tour very well.

Thank you very much for recommending a very good guide like him. I couldn't t ask for more.

Sincerely,

Hello Wonder,

My husband wants to write a very good 'thank-you" letter to your Manager - Ms. Wong with a copy to you regarding the fantastic job you did of our tour - thank you, thank you - just give him a week to get down and write this letter.

We were very impressed the way you handled our tour - you are very hardworking, prompt in your correspondence, honest and co-ordinated the sightseeing in each city and pick-up efficiently. I would recommend you to the whole world!!  and "Tripadvisor" site.

This is for your own personal information as I regard you like my son.  As I said my husband will be wriiting a lenghtly to you. In the meantime, see below.

Beijing was great.  Except that we lost our photos - our camera got lost and it was raining too.  The best and most tasteful lunch in Beijing (and for that matter the whole tour) was at the Restaurant near the Great Wall. 

For my son, The Great Wall, Terra Cotta Warriors and especially the Panda Bears were his highlights - he thought he died and went to Heaven.  He acknowledged you did a super job here with respect to the guides we had - very knowledgable.

By the way, it was Xian and Chengdu that my son and Lindsay did not attend the optional shows.  The Era in Shanghai was mind boggling and kept us on our toes the whole time. It was fantastic and we will always hold this show very dear to our hearts as the best reminder of our China Trip.  Anyone who visits Shanghai, must see this show. 

By the way Wonder, can you email us your postal address.  

I am getting tired now and must take a nap. My husband and I will be writing to you soon.

Take care.

Regards,   

Mrs. Lena Fernandes

Hi Wonder,

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole two days and as it was the only tour we booked throughout our time in China it was really nice to have two days where someone looked after us!! We found the booking and organisation really easy and really appreciated how quickly you got back to us with all the information we wanted. We also appreciated your views about the temple etc and now understood why it was a better option to stay in the hotel.

My friend and I rated this very highly. You did everything you could and got back to us almost immediately with the information. You offered a very competitive rate and it meant that we could really maximize the time we had in Chengdu. We would've never been able to do all of that on our own.

The tour guide - Rosky (i think that is how you spell his name!) was great! He was very informative not only about the places we visited but about China and the culture in general which is what we wanted. But most importantly he was great fun!! Plus he had a real passion for the aspects of the tour - especially the pandas! Being a similar age, he knew what we would find interesting and wanted us to get the most out of the tour as well. For example, he recommended this show to us that we hadn't thought about and it was brilliantly and one of the highlights - something i don't think may tourists would have done. He did more than he needed to and even waited with us at the airport until we had checked in which he really didn't have to. He was also a great photographer and captured some photos of me and my friend as well as making us do some funny poses which made us laugh!

Kind regards

Sarah

So, overall my wife and I are very happy with our trip to Zhangjiajie, Dehang and Fenghuang. I hope you can help us again on our next trip in China. We want to take a tour of Guangxi. Do you have any experience with Guangxi and any suggestions?

Hi Wonder,

I'm sorry for my late reply.  We just got back to the United States yesterday.  We were in the Philippines for a few days after leaving China.  In summary the arrangements that you made worked perfectly!

1. The train from Wuhan to Zhangjiajie via Yichang was no problem.  Both trains had all of us together and we were quite comfortable.
2. Vivian met us at Zhangjiajie and was an excellent tour guide.  Her English is good and vocabulary and understanding excellent.
3. The Pullman Hotel was very nice.
4. Tours were very good and we saw a good variety of the Zhangjiajie Park.
5. The overnight train to Guangzhou in a soft sleeper was nice. We had all four of us in a single compartment that was comfortable and as promised.
6. We made our way to Hong Kong from Guangzhou with no problem at all. 

Thank you very much for making these arrangements.  If I want another trip in China outside of the big cities I will not hesitate to contact you. How difficult is it to take the train from Beijing (or Shanghai) to Lhasa, Tibet?  Is it difficult to get travel permits for Tibet if I am not with a tour group. I would like to see more of the remote parts of China since I travel to the big cities Guangzhou/Shanghai/Wuhan/Beijing several times a year.

Good morning Wonder, how are you?

We are back home now and settling back into our normal routine but definitely not over the WOW factor that is China!

Your service it was very good, your responses to my queries whether by e-mail or phone were very prompt. So, thank you for that, it was really appreciated.

The Itinerary Wonder was also very well thought out for the time that we had available, we felt that we saw what I am sure is only a little bit of the best of China but what we saw we will be talking about it for a long time to come.

The Tour Guide Service Wonder was excellent, in the hustle and bustle of your big cities it was very good to jump into a car with a very competent guide and driver. I think that we were spoilt a little bit in Beijing and of course we set our standards by our first experience. Our Shanghai guide was also very good.

We were most impressed with the local guides pride in their areas and their sense of history. When you have a history that goes back such a long way it is a very impressive achievement.

All of our local guides gave us their appraisal forms to fill out and we did that accordingly.

It was a wonderful journey, we met some very unique and beautiful people, saw sights that we never will forget and these things combined have only added to our life experience.

We have already recommended yourself, China Discovery and of course China to some of our friends and colleagues. Thank you once again for looking after us and I hope that we have another opportunity to do it again in the future.

Best regards

Hello Wonder,

I personally was very satisfied with our trip in China and I thank you for all the work that you put into it. I hope to get back to China someday. There is so much to see.

Before deciding on our final itinerary we made many modifications and I was very satisfied with the quick response times by email, despite the time change and the New Year vacation period. Also once we were in China we could resolve various issues by phone. 

The guides were generally responsive to our requests to change the plans or proposed options, for example to eat in a local restaurant,  bicycle rental in Pingyao, river cruise in Shanghai, etc. They were knowledgeable and they enjoyed giving us information about the places we visited.

Overall, very responsive, good quality hotels, comfortable cars.

Hi Wonder,

Thanks a lot for the email.

Yes we are now back in Sydney and everyone enjoyed the trip tremendously.

I appreciate the prompt attention, patience and service that you have rendered to me while planning the entire itinerary. It was thoughtful and allowed much flexibility for my family.

We were glad we have chosen to travel by the bullet trains as they were all punctual, comfortable and a very nice way to see this vast country of yours. I am pleasantly surprised by you calling during the trip (twice) to check in that everything is ok and that we are enjoying our trip. It’s beyond the normal client service standard that I had expected and reflected very well on the client service ethos that you and the company has.

The tour arrangements were flexible. Vian was able to arrange for transport to take us to the places we were going and also allowed us to have a bamboo rafting trip in Yangshuo which my family thoroughly enjoyed.

All the tour guides we encountered were knowledgeable and competent. The drivers all were also cautious and safe.

Overall, it was a very memorable trip and thanks to your organisation, we were able to enjoy the trip without much hassle.

Will definitely be recommending you and China Discovery to friends who are intending to travel to China.

Regards

Dear Wonder,

We were two couples making a short visit (14 days) to China. I would like to recommend, whole heartedly, the services of China Discovery, located in Chengdu, I mention especially the location of this company in order to avoid a confusion between that company and China Discovery Tours located in the USA (Whose services I don't recognise). China Discovery Chengdu is a company associated with Chengdu Bamboo International Tours, which I believe is known in the web. 

China Discovery, the Chinese company, for us, is the best value for moeny.

Hi Wonder,

Thank you for arranging a wonderful holiday. The tour was perfect really and Victor in Zhangjiajie was very good at tailoring the day to suit us - but we managed to do everything on your tour. Both guides were very considerate and patient and we took lots of breaks. They were punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. If we wanted to slightly change what we did - because we were a bit tired or something- then they were flexible and suggested alternatives. We were all very impressed by everything. All the arrangements worked very well - and the weather was great!

Your service was very professional and helpful and I will make sure I recommend your company to my friends in China and the UK.

Kelly, the guide was excellent! She was very knowledgeable , friendly & helpful. She called the hotel to ask them to keep the restaurant open last night. She also asked them to serve us breakfast early before it opened.

We were really impressed with the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an.

i have had the most wonderful experience, better then i dared hope, and John and I know that we could not have possibly organised such a wonderful experience on our own...it has been fantastic.

Thank you so much.

Fran

The very detailed feedbacks are offered in the following questions:

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

I cannot praise the service from Wonder Wang highly enough – most attentive and polite, most helpful and genuinely kind to us and to the needs of the agents too...diplomatic and fair…responding to every contact even when on the weekend or on holiday…I could not ask for better.

2. How do you comment your tour arrangements?

I think there were so many factors that could have made this fail…The time of year…the variety of the trips…the numbers of contacts. That we were met at the stations and taken to the correct location made such a difference…that alone made our holiday a success. Everything went so well…The tour was brilliant. I would not hesitate to call on Wonder again.

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

Absolutely yes – knowing China and how difficult it can be if you don't speak the language and do not understand the culture. I would actually tell people they would be foolish not to take wonder’s advice.  

4. Your general opinion on us?

Outstanding company, very reasonable, customer service excellent, excellent response to customer needs – delivers as promised in every way. Exceptional company.

5. Do you have any suggestions on improving our services?

The cruise was the most amazing experience though….amazing. I highly recommended it.
