Dear Rita Jiang,

Thanks for your message. We have just landed back in Santiago and we are a bit "out" at the moment. We will come back again to you with some photos and more detailed comments. Now, just a summary: it was great, everything run smoothly and we are very happy to have arranged the travel with you. The problem with the hotel was just a human, understandable mistake and anyway it was arranged very promptly and well: the new room was also very good and the Maria´s guidance in Beijing was outstanding. The only "black spot" on the whole tour was the room in Shanghai: the hotel was great, very well located, breakfast very good, but the room they assigned to us was old, small and not in accordance to the hotel category. I think it was even small for a single person and the shower was just an old fixed thing inside the bathtube with cheap plastic courtains. I guess that is more a failure of the hotel itself, but we wanted to let you know. Anyway ,we had a very good time in Shanghai.

Hi Leo,

My Summary Comments:-

I must admit it is good fortune to be able to work with Leo to plan and arrange a short tour of preferred sights which I have not done before or to revisit from my previous visits around the Guilin area. Leo’s unfailing promptness to respond to my impromptu emailed enquiries and queries is commendable and helpful to effortlessly facilitate a fulfilling itinerary.

I have now completed a comfortable and absolutely satisfying three days trip with helpful and friendly guides and drivers and comfortable transport together with pleasant hotels accommodations.

Thank you Leo and also to your Chengdu Bamboo International Tours Co.Ltd.

Hi Wonder,

Please see my comments below.

1. Yes, the travel consultant was very fast in answering my email and very clear in his explanation.

2. The service of both tour guides in Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou was excellent, very impressed with the quality of the tour guides provided by your company.

3. Yes, will definitely recommend your company but pricing is a little on the high side given the quality of hotels provided.

Dear Wonder,

Thanks for organising our trip and we appreciated your prompt replies. It was a pleasant and wonderful trip to China.

Here, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Nancy of Yichang. Our Yichang flight to Guangzhou was cancelled without notifying us. We arrived at the airport only to be informed of it. Nancy swiftly took action and changed our flight from Wuhan-Guangzhou and rushed us to the train station to take the high speed train to Wuhan. We managed to arrive in time and back in Kuala Lumpur now. Nancy proves to be a very efficient and reliable guide. Thanks!
