Hi Tracy,

My apologies in not getting this review to you sooner. 

Thank you for all of your help organizing our trip to China.  My cousin and I had a wonderful time.  We really appreciated the surprise souvenirs you sent us too!  Below is a review for you to use.  I do not have Trip Advisor, but you can use this on your website or post if you'd like. 

REVIEW:

My cousin and I recently returned home to the USA from a two week private tour of China (June 2018), where we visited Beijing, Zhangjiajie, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guilin, and Longsheng.  We were skeptical at first about using a foreign company to plan our trip and exchange currency.  We tried to look up reviews and found limited information.  We were pleasantly surprised at the level of attention and customer service provided by China Discovery, our agent Tracy, and each individual tour guide.

China Discovery has many travel agents and connections throughout the country.  Using this company helped alleviate the stress of researching and planning a trip in a location that we had never visited with a language we were unfamiliar with.  They were very reliable for our trip.

Tracy Tan was wonderful!!  We were so grateful that she was our travel agent.  From the start of our trip with the initial inquiry email to the very end on our travels home, she was quick with her replies and tailored the trip to our needs.  Even after the trip was completely organized, she shuffled around the cities on our tour because it was very important to us to have extra time to visit Zhangjiajie.  Her knowledge of the areas, things to do, and travel in between cities were very useful and thoughtfully executed.  The itinerary she compiled was catered to our needs based on activities we enjoy to help make the most out of our experience in China.  We wanted to visit some less popular tourist sights and get a good feel for the beauty of the land and culture.  We explained what cities we wanted to visit, what places we wanted to see, and things we wanted to avoid, and Tracy took care to plan the trip of a lifetime. 

The individual tour guides that traveled around with us in each city were also great.  Each of them were very factual and professional.  They also helped with our inquiries for activities and travels during our time outside of the daily scheduled tours.  Randy in Beijing had a lot of knowledge about the history of the country.  Timo in Xi'an was friendly, insightful, and engaging about Chinese history.  Nancy in Chengu was also well informed and thoughtful.  Chin in Guilin/Longsheng was resourceful.  All of the tour guides were hard working and sensible in planning our daily trips, places to eat, and using their exposure to tourism to help translate not only the language, but also the understanding of the content and culture. 

I would highly recommend China Discovery to any of my friends and family who are considering a trip to China.  I have encouraged others to visit China after our recent tour and am excited to bring my husband back some day.  Thank you China Discovery, Tracy Tan, and all of our tour guides for an amazing trip!
