What Our Travelers Say

Hi Lily,

Sorry I did not reply sooner but have had a problem with email.

We had a wonderful day at Wolong - we will remember it forever. Thank you for you lovely gift and kind wishes. Ruby was a great tour guide and knew everything about the pandas. She made every effort to give us a memorable day - the staff at Wolong are very strict with the guests and the guides.

I would be very happy to recommend your services.

We are now going to Lijiang, Xian and back to Beijing before returning home.

It would have been nice to meet you in person but we will always remember your patience and kindness.

With all of our best wishes

Margaret and Rebecca

Hi Tracy,

We are safely back in the UK having had a wonderful trip to parts of China, organised by your company, and also your extended care of us as we tried to get to Hong Kong during Typhoon Mangkhut!  We enjoyed our shortened visit to HK despite missing our son due to the typhoon delays.

You asked for comments of our trip and the organisation by your company, but first I apologise for not giving a comments sheet back re our visit to Guilin. This was because we did not see our fantastic guide "Smiley" later in our stay whilst waiting for the typhoon to move away.  Please let her know she was great - we did leave some money for her and the driver with our stand-in guide Stephen. I hope she and the driver got it.

First of all you, Tracy, have been an excellent organizer and responder to my questions and when things got difficult with onward travel and extra hotel nights in Guilin the team in Chengdu and Guilin worked well together.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Xian, Chengdu and Guilin.

I am not sure the train from Beijing to Xian was the best choice after a long flight from UK via Amsterdam and into Beijing.  It made for a very long journey time and a flight to Xian might have been better as we were already at Beijing airport.

All the guides and drivers were excellent in each city.  We learnt a lot from the guides and they all had good English and good personalities.

We did have one problem on arrival in Chengdu by train from Xian as the guide was not waiting where we had expected to be met. We were lucky that a train/station employee was able to help us and contact you and for you to alert the guide. Chengdu station has multiple exits and we should have been met at the platform arrival exit or told which other exit to go to.

In general everything worked smoothly and the quality of hotels was also good. My only negative would be the hotel in Guilin, which did not offer food one night because they had a conference and a wedding, although they had promised us food after 8pm.  At 8:10pm we were told we could not after all have food and were told to go out into town!

The hotels in Xian and especially Chengdu were very good.

Overall we were very happy with chinadiscovery.com and we would certainly recommend the company and its ability to organise a private tour with excellent guides.

Lastly the final thing you organised was the transfer from Shenzhen to my son's house in Stanley on Hong Kong Island. Mr Liu was waiting with a very nice van at the right exit from the train station and we were soon on our way dodging the fallen trees and the clear-up vehicles.  We arrived quickly and safely.

Thank you for organising this great trip for us.

Dear Wendy,

Thanks again for arranging the trip for us. We enjoyed Qingdao as a city and the food. We have a very good time and the whole experience was what I have expected. The local guide was also flexible to meet our needs. We were also able to make the connecting flights with ease.

Have a nice day,

Hi Rita,

We arrived home last Saturday 15th and have just about got everything back to normal.  Thank you so much for orgnising such a wonderful tour for us.  The guides were all wonderful, knowledgeable and very friendly. They made adaptations to the itinerary to take account of us and the weather.  We missed nothing that we wanted to see.  I hope the Radisson Blu didn't try and charge you for the upgraded room that did not eventuate.  The only problem with the hotel was that the shower was located in the bathtub and it was quite dangerous for any person who did not have a good sense of balance, the bath was quite narrow and high to climb into, I found it difficult to spread my feet for a better stance.  I suggest you ask the hotel in future to accommodate your guests in the Park Tower which is newer and has better bathroom facilities.  This was the only problem we encountered the whole trip.  I would happily recommend your company to people interested in travelling to China.  The accommodation elsewhere was excellent.  I'm attaching some photos for you, hopefully they show our enjoyment as well as some of the highlights.

If you require further information don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards and many thanks.

Hi Rita,

Thank you for all the help you gave us along the way. We had a wonderful trip on the Yangtze!

Kind regards,
