Things are great! things are slower when traveling with a baby. lol but John and the driver are so understanding.
It's really great everything being private. especially because of the baby. and he has his own schedule and it doesn't always work with the tour schedule. it's nice that it's okay and we don't have to make other people wait for us or rush from one place to another. we went on the silk Road tour last summer. and it was great but such a strict schedule. and other people so we can't be late or take our time at certain places. we actually think we want to travel again in August before our holiday is over.

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
Mark

Hi Riley,
Thanks so much for organising our trip. I’ve wanted to visit this mountain region for years and you helped make it possible.
The mountain and volcanic crater are stunning.
The hotels, particularly the Park Hyatt, were first class.
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
The biggest challenge we had was finding somewhere to walk. So much space and no long walks. Everything seems to be arranged around shipping visitors to the scenic spots, enabling them to take some selfies and then shipping them to the next place. And all without any walking in between. The sense is of arranging everything for a spectacular social media photo opportunity rather than enabling people to get, exercise and feel nature.
Thanks for having arranged the walk in the river valley. That was a very pleasant hour‘s stroll along a beautiful and quaint little stream.
We were also a bit unlucky. The few paths at the north gate that normally allow a few minutes extra daunder were even shut for repair.
No worries. We enjoyed it.
Thanks again. We very much appreciate the care and effort that you invest in these trips.

Hi Leo,
Overall Experience:
Overall we had a fantastic trip! While we have always been more independent travelers, the changing status of restrictions due to COVID made us reluctant to book our own trip – we wanted to have someone we could call and/or have by our sides to help address any concerns, at least someone with a better fluency than ours. We loved everything about Ping’an and hope to return to see the terraces in a different season. We loved the Yangshou and hope to return there – it’s an easy train ride from Shenzhen.
Transportation:
The train was super comfortable, all pick-ups and drop-offs were good, the van was comfortable and the driver was safe.
Lodging:
We loved the atmosphere, the room, the people, and the food at Longji One Art Hotel. One of our favorite places, we hope to return and stay there. The Family Room had ventilation issues upstairs in the loft, but the room A/C was awesome.
The Shangri-La in Guilin was our least favorite. The room was stuffy and hot, and even with a fan that we requested, it was uncomfortable to sleep. The theme was amusing – as a family room, it had a tent, but the bathroom accessories were for an infant, not an 11-year old. We would not stay there again, nor recommend it to friends.
The Bamboo Leaf outside Yangshou was really great. By fate, we knew a fair amount of people staying there, from Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The food there was FANTASTIC! We definitely plan to return to Yangshou and would stay at the Bamboo Leaf. We would go just for the dinner!
Sights:
Longji Rice Terraces – incredible beauty! So few people were there, we had the whole area to ourselves. We would like to return to see the terraces in a different season. It FAR exceeded our expectations!
Guilin – we live in a big city, so seeing another city is less than a thrill. Reed Flute Cave and Xiangbishan were cool, but not awesome.
Li River – we were the only boat on the river – the sights were amazing, well worth the trip. The provided lunch was actually quite good.
Yulong River / bamboo raft – we liked the more intimate setting, some great pictures.
Comments:
I would recommend you and the tour company to others - everything worked as planned and promised. We appreciate your help, and had the comfort knowing that if the situation changed due to travel restrictions, etc., we had someone to help us. It was a curious time to travel, as cases were picking up in other areas.
Small Things:
It would have been better to know about packing ONE bag to take up to Ping’an. While it wasn’t a terrible inconvenience to unpack/re-pack in a parking lot, I wish we had known.
Peter did a nice job. He wasn’t the best guide we ever had, but he was OK. Very friendly and polite, his English was fantastic, and he shared a lot of his knowledge. However, I would prefer not to use him again.
Leo, if we need help with another guided tour the Fall, I will reach out to you!
Many Thanks.

Hi Johnson,
Our five families had a superb trip! The incredible sites we visited such as the 'Great wall' and the 'Terracotta warriors' will stay in our memories forever! Our guides took us to some superb restaurants where we really enjoyed the local food. The Peking duck for me was a favourite. Your organization and that of our local guides was excellent! Our guides knowledge of the places we visited was in-depth and really added to the interest in what we were seeing. I will highly recommend your tour to other teachers at my school and friends and family back in New Zealand.
Things to improve upon:
I think when travelling with younger children we found it's better sometimes to do 1 or 2 things a day rather than try and fit everything in on the itinerary especially when it was hot and there was lot's of walking to do. I think the guides were good at realizing this and were flexible when there were things we cut out of the daily itinerary. Having a pool at the end of the day was great for tired kids.
Perhaps next time with families try and have them stay not underneath the bar on the boat as it got a bit noisy. Although the people on the boat were really good when we said something about this on the first night. We also thought there could have been a bit more for children to do on the boat and we put that in our comments at the end of the trip.
That's all I can really think of as there was not really anything wrong with the trip. Thanks again Johnson, let me know if you want me to add any more detail in recommending the trip to others.
Regards.

Dear Tracy,
We came back from our wonderful Yunnan trip yesterday, so I thought I would just give you some detailed feedback. My expectation is to use you whenever we go travelling in China as long as your prices are competitive, so I think it will benefit us both to give you feedback each time.
First of all I would like to say, that this is one of the best trips we ever had as a family - we really enjoyed it.
Dali
Nancy is the best guide we have had in China so far - she is so sweet and really good in explaning our different sightseeing options and telling relevant interesting stories. She also gives advice to us on the day we did not have anything scheduled.
The hotel in Dali was nice, ok breakfast and pool - although a little cold.
We enjoyed both the cycling trip and the Cangshan Mountain. The trip to Shibao Mountain we felt was a little rushed. We would have preferred to have more time here and done some hiking in the beautiful surroundings. It felt like a lot of transportation for a very short walk.
Shaxi
This city is fantastic - and we loved the hotel. The breakfast was perfect, the best breakfast we had at any hotel in China.
Lijiang
Evan was ok as a guide. I wrote to him to get a restaurant recommendation before coming to Lijiang, and his first question was which hotel we stay at. On the day we were going to the Tiger Leaping Gorge hike, he was not really informed about our programme it seemed, and wanted to cut two hours of the hike. I really appreciate when the guides know our itinerary, so we do not have to give him information.
As our first two days in Lijiang was on out own, it would have been nice with just a 2 minutes introduction from his side, when we met at the hotel. For example that there are both a Shuhe old town and a Lijiang Old Town. No one at the hotel spoke a word English, so it was difficult for us to figure out how to best spend the days.
The day in the snow mountain was fantastic - but I had to ask for the yak meadow. I would have liked him to explain to me the options at the snow mountain, so I could make a decision based on that, not my own research. Our friends who came two days later, also travelling with China Discovery, went all the way to the gletcher. We did not even know that was an option.
The hotel in Lijiang was the best on our trip - nice rooms, pool and gym. And I have to say their service is AMAZING! I got the wechat of one of the staff, and he helped us with everything, I do not have his English name, but can send his Chinese to you on WeChat. He should really be recognized for his efforts! The only thing about this hotel was, that their breakfast is really bad. It seemed strange because this hotel is so beautiful and amazing, but their breakfast seems to belong to a one star hotel. I have to say again, that their service is really good - so when we complained they made scramble eggs for us and something that resembled bacon. So the staff did everything they could. But a hotel like that should have better breakfast - maybe they should visit the hotel in Shaxi.
Tiger Leaping Gorge
So everything on this trip was amazing!!!!! We loved the hike and the hotel was like a small piece of paradise. The room, the pool the spa - it was just perfect. Also we really liked Pema, our guide.
One comment is that our friends, who did the hike two days later, had their suitcases brought all the way to this hotel. Why were we not offered this? I know we have paid the same price for the trip.
Shangri-La
The two hikes and visit to the monestary was very good, Pema had a good feeling of what our family liked and he was very sweet to our kids.
We did not really like the hotel that much. Actually I prefer the often much more charming boutique hotels. You properly chose it because of the pool, which I know I wanted. But the water at the pool was 13 degrees - so not really something we could use.
So that was all the feedback I had. I hope it is useful to you! I will send you the name of the employee at the Lijiang hotel, he deserves extra credit.
Kind regards.

The tour was really well-organised whilst also being flexible according to our preferences. The driver was also very good. The hotels were very nice. The only feedback on hotels is that the first one we stayed in Hailar, the Holiday Inn, was very busy, which meant a lot of the breakfast options at the breakfast buffet finished really quickly, so there wasn't a lot of choice. It also meant that we really struggled trying to get on an elevator to get downstairs in the morning - we ended up having to carry our suitcases down 8 flights of stairs!

The trip was very nice. The places are amazing. Food wise some of it was good, but some hotels had a difficult time with meals (example Heshe where we had to order meituan as there was no open kitchen).
Car is a little uncomfortable for adults. The space between seats is a little tight. Another version of van would be more suitable for long travel.
Would better to sleep 2 nights in Yangshou.
Steven and He were very nice and accommodating.
My wife and daughters really enjoyed the trip. Other than the food (we don’t eat fast food, and we are all vegetarian, so sometimes it’s a little tough to find healthier foods, or not so fried) but we loved it.
I added some activities which you can put into your schedule for sure (the cable car and the glass bridge for example), so in general an amazing trip.

Good morning Jack,
Lee was excellent. Very personable, very professional. Your drivers were very good. The pace of the trip was good. We enjoyed seeing both reconstructed and old wall. It gave us a much better appreciation of the work to not only to build but to maintain as well .We would caution that knowing in advance what sections of the wall are closed would be helpful. The second day it seemed we spent more time hiking in the brush than visiting the wall itself. Plenty of water and bathroom breaks were offered. Li was very knowledgeable about the wall and history. He gave us information in the van and allowed us to enjoy the wall without interruptions. Great job on his part The water town hotel was very enjoyable. The room was clean, air conditioner, and felt traditional but clean and new. Li did a great job of preparing us and getting us through the security points at the square. The local farmhouse restaurants were decent and the people very kind.
Xi'An: Tomi was good. He had a less engaging tour so our interaction with him was less but still enjoyable. He accommodated our request to spend time with friends that were in the area as well.Muslim street was very small and not as unique as I thought it would be.The bike ride along the city wall enjoyable. Better first thing in the morning or late afternoon. It would have been too hot for a mid-day visit.We stayed at the W in Xi'An. Great place to stay. I would visit that property again. We ate dinner at a new Turkish restaurant called The Chill right outside the hotel. Would recommend.Warriors was amazing. Tomi's knowledge very much appreciated. We were two and half hours early to the airport so timing was a bit off.All said, we would definitely use China Discovery again.

We have arrived in Sanya and are on the way to our resort. Thank you for arranging the very helpful guide and driver this morning. They were professional and prompt.
Do you have a feedback form that I should complete or would you like me to write something in my own words?
I must tell you, the cruise was amazing! I have never felt so much like a queen as I did on the cruise. The staff was unbelievable, the accommodations were excellent by my western-standards, and the activities were splendid! Nobody wanted to leave the cruise!!
The two boys enjoyed the unlimited “mocktails” drink package and flying kites on the sundeck. The two girls enjoyed the “mocktails” and the variety of relaxing spaces on the ship. Sometimes they wanted to relax in the Executive Lounge, sometimes they wanted to do karaoke. It was wonderful that the children had easy access to any place in board that they might have an interest.
As you know, we already recommended you to
my friend Sylbeth. We will continue to recommend your services. If
we have time for one more vacation before leaving China, we will definitely
arrange it through you.

Dear Lyn,
we had a wonderful trip and are very happy altogether. Everything worked out very well.
In Zhangjiajie we were a little bit unlucky with the weather (no one can change that) and with the masses travelling (also something that cannot be changed). Because of the latter I am very glad that you suggested to visit the Gorge on arrival day already, we would never have made it on the second day (and it would have been in pouring rain).
The river cruise was excellent; although it being pretty expensive we most certainly appreciated the special treatment we received due to booking “executive”.
So I have already recommended this trip to colleagues and friends.
Thanks for all your support before the trip (and for getting us out of the broom-closet in Zhangjiajie)

Hi Leo,
Yes, I can give you some feedback on the Beijing trip. In general we enjoyed the trip very much. It was a good idea to go to Jinshanling Great Wall instead of Badaling. Actually we had heard of Badaling being rather crowded during National Holidays, that’s why we asked you to include Jinshanling. It was a good choice;
Jack, our tour guide was very nice, he has a very good knowledge about the places we went and the history behind. The driver was very experienced and we always had a smooth drive, although obviously sometimes the traffic was dense.
The Restaurants that Jack picked were all ok, the experience with the family in the Hutong for the Dumpling making was very nice.
There could be some minor changes to the tour. For example it was more convenient to go to Jingshan Park and Beihai Park on the same day instead of separate days. Actually Jack proposed that and it was good. We went to both of the parks the day after the Forbidden City. There are some further attractions to visit inside the Summer Palace and Beihai Park. You have to buy extra tickets, which are 10 Yuan per person. I think it might make sense to include these in the tour right away from the beginning.

Hi Leo,
It was a great tour! The staff on the boat were so nice and helpful! The accommodations were excellent. The food was so good. If I had one complaint it would just be how rushed everything is when you visit things off the boat. I understand why and know there is a busy schedule but it was so rushed to me. Sorry it took so long to answer. I had no mobile data all day.
The only place I felt it was really crowded was at the fungdu ghost city. Everywhere else had people but not too bad at all for China.
I saw some places were really busy. I heard a lot of people are traveling again. I have a lot of friends who have shown some interest in my cruise. When they ask me for more info about booking the cruise I will definitely send them your contact card. I will put some pictures on WeChat tonight. So many want to see some. That will help I think.

Hi Echo
We had a great holiday in Guilin. A place we would like to revisit before leaving China.
The hotel in Guilin was quite good. Spacious room with a lovely view and a great bar. The breakfast was mostly Chinese, but we still haven’t found a hotel with great western breakfast yet. It was okay - but not amazing.
The hotel in Yangshuo was more simple but the service was good and the surroundings were amazing. I could imagine that it would not be so good if it was colder since the room wasn’t isolated. There was air conditioning/heating so it was okay for this season. I think it will be great in to sit outside by the river in the summertime.
The guide was nice and friendly and so was the driver. But my husband couldn’t see out of the windows in the car since he is quite tall. So he missed out on the beautiful scenery when we were driving.
On the Li River Cruise we sat at a 6 persons table - we would have preferred a 4 persons table - but otherwise it was a great trip.
Best regards,

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.

We had a great tour in Sichuan. The room in the last hotel in Chengdu was fine although breakfast wasn’t. But I guess that’s because that they didn’t have a great selection of western foods and you cannot expect that everywhere in China.
Overall it was a really great tour and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great tour to Sichuan. Jason was a good guide and my youngest son Anton really liked him immediately.
If something needed to be changed that would be an extra night at Emeishan. After driving up and down the mountain the kids were tired and would have loved going straight back to the hotel and the pool and the playground. And then done the drive back to Chengdu the next day. I know it wasn’t possible due to the flight time the next day but if there were flights a bit later that would have been perfect.
The driver was also friendly and service minded. If the car had autopilot the ride would have been more smooth - setting the seed to a certain limit - but that is a minor thing.
Thanks for all your help.

Thanks a lot for your kind mail and pieces of advice. I do remember you and our wonderful trip to Gansu last November.
It's true France and other countries are now hit by the Covid-19 disease and many measures have been taken to flatten the curve of new cases.
We work at home for more than a month now, and this will probably continue for a long time.
The main issue was the lack of masks. The situation is getting better now but we still miss masks. As individuals we cannot buy some, they are indeed reserved for health professionals. I wish we could get disposable masks.
The positive aspect is that I had time to sort all the photos I took during our trip to Gansu. We hope to come again and discover other parts of China.

I was very pleased to get an email from you today and know that you were safe. Our friends in Beijing have also managed to keep well by keeping isolated since January. They have a baby now so it was very important to keep well. My family and the group that travelled to Tibet with you are all safe and well. I am sorry about all the people that China has lost over the last few months to the virus. The world is a sad place to be at the present time.
In New Zealand we are entering our 4th week of full lockdown. We have all been required to stay home except for essential services. Supermarkets have stayed open but with strict distancing and only a few people allowed in at a time. This was fortunate as life would have been a lot different had the supermarkets closed. We can go out in the local area for short walks or runs for exercise but other than that police are being very strict on people who have no reason to be out and about.
We appear to be winning the fight so far as we have only had 11 lives lost and around 1500 people infected. This because our lockdown came very early and almost every New Zealander has stuck to the rules and kept apart. We also closed our borders early and it doesn’t look like anybody in New Zealand will be leaving the country or people from other countries coming here for quite some time. Possibly years. Our success in keeping the virus out, so far, means we will not have immunity to it but we have saved a lot of lives. The government will make the decision on Monday if we come out of full lockdown and what the new rules will be.
How are you in Chengdu? I hope your beautiful city has been well in the current time and suffered only a little. We hear little of how things are in China other than the numbers. I note from your attachment about Personal Protection information that your approach has been very similar to ours including policing measures and governmental control. We have done it mainly by co-operation and few have been fined or arrested for disobedience as most are in agreement with the measures taken and our government has kept us fully informed as to what is happening on a daily basis.
Stay Safe and well. Please keep me up to date with how you are. Hopefully both our countries are over the worst and we can begin contact again.

Thanks Mike;
Our hearts go out to the people of China. We sincerely hope that the situation in China, and the rest of the world gets back to normal soon.
We sent a package of N95 masks to one our tour guides several weeks ago, as a small token to show our appreciation for her efforts while we were in China, and to show our concern for the well-being of her family.
Thanks very much for sending the information and suggestions about dealing with the virus. We are starting to experience many of the same problems that the Chinese people faced when the virus first started to spread, and your suggestions will be most helpful.

Hello Johnson,
Many thanks for your warm greetings and concern while we undergo our trials and tribulations with Covid 19. Thank you also for offering to mail masks to us. Lucky we were well prepared, having been living in HK during SARS and bird flu.
I also passed your email on to other family members and they too thank you for your concern.
New Zealand is in lock down, day 7 and so far, all is well. We ourselves are managing very well in self isolation. There is plenty to keep us busy within the home – work, crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, knitting, cleaning out cupboards and I am doing my keep fit via video. A sign of the current times, but hopefully in 3 weeks, all will be well again.
Take care, ad best wishes.

Hi Rita. You are very kind for your advices.
As you can read in internet, all Europe is blocked. Italian government was the first to introduce strong restrictions to try to stop the infections. Italy is the first country for the number of deads, more than 2 thousands. At the moment the infection continues, unfortunatly. Doctors say it takes other 2 weeks to reach the pick. Our government established by law to remain at home, everybody. We can go out shopping for foods only, possibly with masks( I have some), with one meter of distance. Now there is a strong control to make people respect the law, big fines for offenders.
These restrictions until 3th April. Anyway it is very hard .
I red China is getting better and I hope you don't have problems.
We are fine at the moment. I will inform you about recent news later.

It is good to hear that matters are improving in China. Here in Manila the virus is only just beginning to take its toll.
One of the doctors at the hospital that recently treated me for a minor cancer has died from its effects and most of the others at that hospital are now under quarantine. Many more people will die in the coming weeks. Because of my age (over 60) the local authorities do not allow me to leave my apartment -but that is fine with me as it will force me to write up material I have been meaning to write up for some time now.
Once this is over I sincerely hope to get back to China - this time covering Xining and Chengdu. Always on the search for rhubarb growing in the wild! And when the virus allows that to happen I shall be in touch with China Discovery. The last trip you organized for us was excellent.

It has now spread around the world and in the UK we are just about to start to experience the worst of it as the numbers infected are beginning to rise dramatically. It seems the whole of Europe and much of the rest of the world is going into lock down with borders being closed and curfews against people gathering together being imposed. Here in the UK, all schools are to be shut from tomorrow and summer examinations cancelled, all sporting events, music and theatre shows etc. have been cancelled, travel is restricted, everyone is being asked to work from home wherever possible, airlines are grounding most of their planes and every person over 70 years old is about to be told to go into total isolation for at least the next 12 weeks. Our hospitals and health service have cancelled all non-emergency procedures and engineering companies are being asked to change their production and to immediately start manufacturing oxygen ventilators for the hospitals as fast as possible. We have never seen anything like this before but when something like this happens, it shows that it doesn’t matter what country we are from as we are all just citizens of the world.
It is very encouraging to see that China now seems to be over the worst and is slowly getting back to normal. My daughter Sarah is still in Shanghai having spent most of the last 8 weeks in isolation in her apartment, so she is very happy that things are getting better in China. But she will now have the problem of how to get home to the UK as her contract and work visa will expire soon.

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,
Elie

Dear Mr Wonder Wang, thank you very much for your email! I really appreciate it and I am happy to hear that you are alright! I was thinking also the past months about you and the lovely people in China that I met last year, if you are healthy and well. Now the virus came to Europe and in some places, like Italy, it is vey terrible. We stay here at home and working home office. We still have food but we do not have masks and disinfectant! I use after save lotion to clean my hands. A lot of people also still think that Covid 19 is only a flu... I hope the scientists will solve the problem soon and our life will be normal again. I also hope to come to China again, I like China so much!
I hope we hear again each other in the future, stay healthy.

My daughter who traveled to Beijing 101 has been in constant contact with her exchange student and her host family and they have been very helpful in providing much needed information. We keep them in our prayers and follow all the recommendations they have made. We are hoping that all Americans can do the same as we love to travel and would like to see this pandemic eradicated. We do hope to return to China and visit some of the areas my youngest daughter was able to see. She speaks so fondly Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Dear Wonder,
Thank you so much for your nice email.
We are fine, and hope the same for you.
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.

However, to combat the widespread of COVID-19, we were advised by the Singapore government to defer all travel plans till further notice. This is to contain all possible spread of the virus. Hence, for the travel plan, we will temporary put it on hold.

We are in the city of Edmonton, but where we live is more like a suburb, with space between the houses and in the neighborhood, so hopefully ok to go out without masks. Still, we are staying home except when someone needs to go out.

Hello Lily,
Thanks for your mail. I am glad to hear you and your family are well. And that the situation is stabilising in China.
I am afraid the infection has spread to Europe now and since last week the situation has changed immensely. Since Friday all bars and restaurants are closed. There are no more lessons in schools, but there is a minimum of teachers to take care of children whose parents work in the medical service or take care of elder people.
I work for a local community and last news is that we remain open and keep working. We have to avoid unnecessary meetings or reorganise them. And civilians are only allowed inside the building if they have an urgent appointment.
But since today lots of companies decided to close for a certain period of time. It is expected that in the next few days more and more companies will have to close. I think that would be best, otherwise the virus can keep spreading.
The prognosis is that we will only reach the peak in another month! So we are only at the beginning...
We’ll have to wait and see what the future brings.
KLM status is still the same at the moment. But now we are getting news that European passengers are put in a 2 week quarantine when arriving in China. We’ll just have to be patient I guess and see what happens.
Meanwhile we hope to stay healthy and that we can keep working.

Hopefully you in China are coming out of the worst of the impact of the virus now which is small comfort for all the families effected by it. We in Europe now are heading into a very dark place with us where China was back in mid-January – with our Governments now realising they have to undertake very drastic action with their people.
We in the UK are just today moving to business where they can work from home - with big events and gatherings now cancelled. We are about 1-2 weeks we think behind where Spain and Italy find themselves - with them now entering total lockdown.
We are very grateful for how you in China have lead and showed us the way to handle the virus and see how the world can and has to learn form this on how to internationally together handle future situations better together.
For the future we would still love to travel and see China - but that is now not likely for at least 6 months I think – our Government in the UK now talking of the virus being “active” for at least the next 6 to 9 months….

How lovely to hear from you again, and thank you for your thoughtful attachment of Covid-19 Precautions. They will be useful.
How have you been since the outbreak in China? – I do hope you and your family and colleagues have managed to escape and are well. You were all very much in our thoughts. The school my son-in-law was teaching at near Dalian did not re-open after the Chinese New Year, so he and my daughter and grandson went to Kuala Lumpur for 2 weeks then back to Australia. He has been teaching by Correspondence all this time - not easy with students all over China and around the world. However the school hopes to reopen physically at the end of March so Glenn returned to China and the school last Saturday for 2 weeks quarantine. Kerry and Ethan are staying in Australia until the end of the Summer holidays and hopefully will return to China then. Your country has been so strict and we hope that the downturn in cases continues to be effective and everything else returns to normal for you soon.
We feel so much for those in the Travel industry who are the hardest hit. Is your company still operating? Do you still have work? What did you do during the outbreak. Our airlines and Travel agents are just beginning to feel it in the last two weeks. Our largest travel agency Flight Centre is very hard hit, not to mention the cruise ships. Our small town is dependent on tourism – we have dolphin and whale-watching boats, with busloads of visitors mainly from China and Korea. These are no longer coming and only one boat goes out each day.
We are so pleased that we were able to have the wonderful trip to Harbin that you organised for us - great memories! Glenn’s mother did not get to China - had to cancel the day before leaving Australia.
Our movement restrictions have only just started properly today – we have about 290 cases of Covid-19 in Australia to date.. Anyone returning from overseas has to be quarantined for 2 weeks. I think this is just the beginning for us, however to date we are much better off than many European countries. Congregations of people are being limited, and people are learning to be very careful. They are not closing the schools or universities yet, unless a case of Covid- 19 is found in them. Only 3 to date. It will be a day-to-day situation, as you will understand. We have a 90-year old friend who left Spain on 10 March heading for Australia through Vietnam and then transiting in Singapore. We wonder if he will get here (Singapore is stopping even transitting) and if he does he will have to go into quarantine! We have advised him to consider postponing the remainder of his trip as he may not be able to return to Spain later.
Again, thank you for your thoughtful email and do let us know how you are faring.
With very best wishes

Great to hear from you! We have some diving and a cruise planned the last week of April to first week of May to Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire in the Caribbean which we hope is not cancelled. We are now completing a two week ski vacation in the local mountains, and we have gotten a good work out. Just a couple days left and we'll consider winter over. So far, so good here...we hope to be healthy and strong when the virus visits us. It is not smallpox, polio, or ebola but some challenge is presented. You know best about that...how is it affecting people you know? Panic is never productive, but, challenges must be faced, especially when unavoidable. I would be interested in how you and your friends are coping with coronavirus, perhaps I can learn from you. One thing I really like about Chinese culture and society is their interest in learning from others, which I hope to do the same with you.
Remember, our house is your house if you ever come to the USA. We are booked this year as we have another two week dive vacation planned at St Kitts in the Caribbean in November. Hope to show my wife some Wudang Tai Chi next time I visit, and my son is interested in Tibet, especially Mt Everest.

Hi Wendy
Yes, home safely thank you. Could I tell you before I respond to your queries, it was a wonderful, brilliantly organised trip, thank you so much.
1. You were always prompt with responses to any queries and clarifications. Your suggestions were carefully considered and you accommodated our requests effortlessly.
2. The tour was simply great. Beijing - Kai as guide and driver Mr Ho. What a find with Kai! His English was perfect; his knowledge was exceptional. Kai constantly volunteered information and explanation without having to be asked. The restaurants he took us to for our lunches were fabulous - very fresh, freshly cooked and spice level to accommodate our palette. He was also very considerate towards my sister who is older and less mobile than us, always looking out for her, assisting with her bag etc. You have a real gem with Kai. Mr Ho and the vehicle were also fantastic. The van was very clean and comfortable. Mr Ho was also very helpful with luggage. If there needs to be a simple suggestion for the future, perhaps a low step to assist customers into the van would be helpful. Kai provided us with bottled water each day, without being asked.
With regards to the itinerary in Beijing, I should have included an extra day to see the Ming Tombs. As we had a full free day at the end of the holiday, I did organise a private tour for this reason, and it was great. The Great Wall - I chose the option of the cable car because my sister has mobility problems. 350 metres of steep cobbled ramp way, plus approximately 100 steps of varying heights (from 10 cm to 45 cm in height) were extremely challenging for my sister and she would have missed this amazing place had Kai and my partner Tony not been so kind to her and physically assisted her. Perhaps a bit of a misunderstanding on our part Wendy, as this was certainly not disability friendly!
Xi'an - bullet train was great except both the conductors and the officials at the exit gates in Xi'an, wanted to see our tickets! I showed the itinerary to them, but Kai told me later that perhaps I should have also shown our passports? Never mind, we got there! Crystal and driver Mr Hou(?) were also great. The vehicle was clean, however smaller than in Beijing and a little more difficult for 4 people to be comfortable. Again, a low step would be advantageous for customers to access the van more easily. Crystal was very knowledgeable and both were helpful. The museum and the warriors just have to be seen to be believed. The theatre restaurant in the evening was technically the best I have seen, anywhere. A wonderful experience was Xi'an. Crystal provided water each day without being asked.
Harbin - flight was good. Guide was Karl but the driver was never introduced to us. Karl's English was not very good and his understanding of us and our questions was quite poor. A very pleasant and nice young man however. We had breakfast early in Xi'an, then nothing until we arrived in Harbin late in the afternoon. The itinerary stated we would tour the ice lanterns after dinner, but Karl did not understand we had not yet had dinner. Finally he understood us and took us to a local cafe where we had one choice only for our meal (it was very good though) and then we headed to the park. Excellent sculptures, we had seen nothing like this before. The snow sculptures the next day were simply quite stunning. Wonderful, talented people. The ice and snow festival in the evening was unbelievably spectacular. The vehicle was not really acceptable I am sorry to say. Very cramped and quite dirty as had not been cleaned after previous customers. There were used tissues and empty water bottles in the van. We had to ask Karl for water, and he went to a store to buy some. When I realised the Tiger Park was not on our itinerary I was very disappointed as I thought I had included this. Karl arranged this for us for Y600 and we appreciated this.
On our last day in Harbin we had Celine as our guide and she, like Kai, was brilliant. Excellent English, offering information constantly. The ice swimming with the locals was extremely funny as the older Russian women really made it very entertaining and fun. On our leisurely way to the airport she was told our flight was now leaving 1.5 hours earlier than scheduled and no one had been told. We received royal treatment by Celine who sped us through check-in and waved us off just in the nick of time! Thank you Celine. I think she may also have checked the van as it was cleaned that morning and we hope she realised that it was not us who left rubbish in the van. Again a low step would be helpful for customers, particularly as the floor became very icy and slippery and was problematic for us.
I arranged a private tour of the Ming Tombs on our last holiday day and I realise we could not have included this on our original itinerary due to time constraints. This was really worthwhile, so I would definitely recommend this to other customers Wendy.
3. Suggestions? Low step for each van please, especially where it is icy. In Beijing if time is as limited as ours, perhaps suggestion of Ming Tombs in place of the Sacred Way?
Wendy, a great holiday with so much included. Both Kai and Celine are wonderful. I will put review on TripAdvisor as soon as possible.

We just arrived home in Australia last night and I wanted to write to you and let you know how much we enjoyed our Harbin trip. All the arrangements went perfectly to your plan.
Grace was a superb guide – provided so much local and historical information which we all enjoyed (including our 10 year old grandson who was learning much of the material at school in Dalian). The ice and snow festivals were unbelievable and being a little early in the festival meant that we could see some of the exhibits under construction and they were not so crowded. We enjoyed the historical parts of the city and the ice swimmers. The two lunches Grace took us to were the best meals we had in China – superb!
We were very grateful that at the end Grace unexpectedly obtained a station pass and helped us find a place for our luggage on the train (being eight of us and from overseas we had more than normal).
We will have no hesitation in recommending China Discovery, and yours and Grace’s service to any friends who enquire.

Hi, Mark,
Thanks for the follow up. The tour went well and we had a great time. The panda volunteer program ended earlier than expected so we asked if Cindy would be willing to take us to Dujiangyan irrigation/dam. Both Cindy and the driver were flexible enough to take us there even though it meant longer hours for them. We really appreciate it. We went to the panda breeding center the next morning because we wanted to see baby pandas so we only spent half a day for the city tour. Cindy took us to a few places that we thought were very interesting.
The tour package says B, L included, which is perhaps a mistake as breakfast does not seem to be included. Cindy bought us a small breakfast (soy milk and steamed buns) on Day 1 as we thought we would get breakfast and we left the hotel at 7:30 am.

First off let me say that we have traveled to over 30 countries with our children and this trip was among the best organized we have experienced. The people were extremely welcoming throughout China and it all started with us working with you at China Discovery. We knew that November is not the ideal month to travel due to the colder weather but that did not detract us from a wonderful vacation. Here are some additional answers for you below:
(1) How do you like our tour arrangements and are you willing to recommend our service to your friends?
Your services were exceptional! I appreciate your prompt responses to our questions and you were always willing to help.

(2) Do you have some suggestions for us to improve our service?
That is difficult to say. All tour guides we experienced spoke English very well and we enjoyed their company. Typically the tour guide is vital to the success of the vacation and we liked all them all which made everything great - Special thanks to our guide in Yichang who found an incredible restaurant on the way to the Yichang restaurant / The food we had was wonderful.
(3) If you come to China again, would you like to use our service again?

Hello Riley,
Thanks for reaching out, I can certainly share some feedback with you.
Transportation Services: Overall transportation services were good quality, the size, type of vehicle and driver were good and that's the kind of service I was expecting. Really appreciate your fast response when we needed to arrange transportation services from one day to another. Having you as a WeChat contact made the difference. The most important thing was that every single time the driver and vehicle was on time and with a printed sign with my name on it. I appreciate you having my flight information and taking care of times, arrival information etc. This worry-free experience is very important to me. The only not so positive thing to share was maybe not related to you or the driver but the two times we were picked up at the airport we had a long walk to reach the vehicle. When you are traveling with large group of people, many kids and a lot of lugagge this is difficult.
Tour in Shanghai: I have nothing but positive things to say about the guide. Her knowledge about the places we visited were amazing she had a vast amount of information to share, every single detail about the places we visited she mastered the details and we as a tourist value this a lot. I appreciate that you understood my VIP request travel to the river. When we get there we had a special place on the boat that made the difference. My people were pleased with this. Please recognize the work the guide did that day, working with a large group of latin american people including kids is difficult I admit but she was so kind and professional that I admire her. Even when we were in the bus driving to our destination she was sharing so many facts about Shanghai that we gladly received.
Happy to share this feedback to you and I hope you find it useful

Hello Mike:
I will send some sceneries pics from each place we have been to, without the participants, since I need to get others to give me permissions In order to release their pictures. (Under separate email).
1) How do you like our tour arrangements and are you willing to recommend our service to your friends?
Your tour arrangements were seamless and perfect. We couldn’t ask for better arrangements. Everything went very smoothly.
Our very special thanks to Rita and Mike. You guys made our trip a very memorable experience traveling through the Chengdu and Yangtze regions.
All of our Tour Guides were great - Cherry, May, Nancy, Susan, and Jack were the best. They all could speak perfect English, and Jack was able to speak to us in Cantonese too!
We have a “Special Thank You” to Kathy and her team on the Yangtze gold 5 cruise ship. She was most caring and helpful to us from the time we arrived on the cruise and throughout our stay. Upon her recommendation, we had opted for the better accommodation category and dining, and she made sure we understood the various tour options etc. When Jack (our brother in law) inadvertently scraped his leg and it started to bleed, she and one of the Captain’s Assistant came to his aid. Since the cruise ship’s First Aid station was not adequately equipped with bandages, etc, Kathy and her staff made sure he received the proper first aid care needed. The Captain Assistant accompanied him to the nearby hospital once the boat docked, and they made sure he was ok. We could not have asked for more. He is doing fine.
Also, thank you so much for sending one of your tour guide, Frank, and driver to pick us up at midnight when we arrived in Guangzhou Airport that first night. That was greatly appreciated.
The added bonus of the Pearl River Night Cruise was a very nice gesture of China Discovery. It was a last minute surprise, and we all enjoyed the lovely lights and beautiful sceneries of Guangzhou from the river perspective. Thank you very much.
(2) If you come to China again, would you like to use our service again?
Definitely. The quality of your service is commendable, your Tour Consultant, Mike Liu, did a great job in helping us to plan, formulate and worked out all the details of our trip. All of your tour guides were great, genuine individuals who were more than willing to go a second mile to make sure the customers are satisfied. I have nothing bad/ or undesirable to say really.
On our next trip to China, we will be sure to contact you again. Thanks for all you have done, you have six very satisfied customers. We will recommend you without any hesitations to all of our friends and associates. Keep up the good work!

Hi Johnson,
Hope this email find you well.
My family and I have returned to Sydney after 6 weeks of travelling! I want to thank you for arranging our 25 days China tour which we have really enjoyed. The itinerary was good although a bit tiring!
China was amazing and your service in organizing and trouble shooting while we were there was greatly appreciated.
On reflection, we realized the highlights during our tours were the cities where we had a good guide and driver.
FYI the guides in SuZhou (Sarah), Guilin (Summer), Kunming (Jessie) and Lijiang ( Susan) and Chengdu (Jane) were all amazing. Their English and knowledge were very good. They made these cities/ places come alive for us.
Alan in Hangzhou took us to the best restaurant and ordered the best lunch we had in 25 days. Again a memorable city for us
On the flip side, Dali which was a beautiful city but we did not enjoy mostly because our guide ( Shirley) does not speak English well. We could not understand her narrative or explanation most of the time. The guide in Wuhan ( Jennifer) was very unhelpful, was on her phone most of the time unless we asked her questions. For e.g. The highlight of Wuhan to us was the yellow crane tower but she did not even bother to walk up with us ( and gave us 20 min to go up and come down) As we all could not read Chinese , it made all the beautiful artworks, poems and historical significance a complete loss to us! At the Eastlake, again a beautiful area she rushed us in and out because she said we did not have enough time but we ended finishing the day around 4 ! As you know she also ignore us during lunch so I had to send you the complaint myself! So Wuhan to use was the least enjoyable day.
For your reference, I think you have to ensure the guides you provide to any group you organize speak good English and are experience and helpful.
Overall, I think it was a great tour and your service is excellent from start to finish. I will certainly recommend you to my friends and hope to organize a Silk Road tour with you in the near future !
Thanks again

Hi Yanny!
I must apologize for replying so late. I got so busy with work and kept forgetting to reply to you. Thank you for asking about our tour. We had a really nice time with Cheryl. And sure let me answer your questions. I hope its not too late yet.
1.How about your tour arrangements?
Before the actual tour, we were in contact with the travel consultant Yanny He, who helped us customize the tour we wanted. She had to re do the itinerary several times since we had to keep changing our itinerary considering our budget and time constraints. Yanny was always cheerful to help. Once we got to China, and once our tour started, everything was effortless as we were met in the train station. We had our own personal car service with guide and chauffeur. We were brought to the tourist spots and back to the hotel, until we were done with our tour and we were brought to the airport. Everything in the tour package agreed upon beforehand was what we given to us in the actual tour.
2. Are you willing to recommend our service to those who would like to come to China ?
Yes very much. And also it was the most affordable one we find, but also quality
3. Your general opinion on us?
It was a good value for money and legitimate tour service. At first we were hesitant because there were many reviews of scams of different tour agencies. But this one was legitimate.
4. Would you like to share your tour with us? we will appreciate it if you would like to send some pics.
Our tour was in Henan--Longmen and Zhengzhou. It was around 4days. Our main goal was the Shaolin temple which had been my dream since I was a kid, after watching my first kungfu movie

Thank you for your email. We really enjoyed our China tour with China Discovery. The itinerary planned for us were very comprehensive which allows us maximum time to enjoy the natural beauty and attractions each locations had to offer with minimum shopping trips. We really don't like those tours that spend a lot of time bringing us shopping rather than spending time to explore the attractions and I am really glad the tour that you organized for us did not make us do that.
The transfer from one place to another was also arranged very well and we were well looked after. The hotel and meals arranged were good except for the hotel in Beijing where the toilet is not very clean especially the shower cubicle. Other than that we were really satisfied with the hotels arranged which were in convenient locations in the city center and the food was great.
The tour guides were also very accommodating and look after us very well especially Lily and the driver Mr Chang from Beijing who really made sure that we had a really enjoyable time in Beijing.
We will definitely deal with China Discovery for our next trip to China and will not hesitate to recommend China Discovery to our friends.

We met the wonderful guides and drivers on our travels, and although it is very difficult to single any out one, I thought Danny, who looked after us in Guilin and the surrounding areas – was incredible.
The other guides were equally fantastic and they ensured we visited every site and more, to really make our trip to China a fantastic and memorable trip of a lifetime!

Thank You for the opportunity to give some feedback!
Our journey through China was perfektly organised! For me, it was a very good combination between sightseeing, historical information about the Republik of China and beside that, it became nearly the feeling of a roadtrip with good old friends!!! On the one hand, our driver Ladu (maybe I wrote it wrong!?) drove us very safely and though we couldn't speak a word together, the communication was warm and friendly! On the other hand, our guide Pipoo was always very careing, when we had some problems with the altitude, so that we were never worried. As I said before, all the time he was able to make a good mix between interessting historical facts about the sights and the developement of China, but also framed it with a lot of fun. It never got boring or exausting. Pipoo was also very helpful, when we had some problems with the service of one hotel, to manage this problem. So even in those few problemsituations, we never felt uncomortable or lost!
I want to thank You Mr. Li and Your Team for organising this unforgetable trip for us. From my side, i wish defenitly to come back some more times in this beautiful country and hope to have the same guidance and service I was able to enjoy this time!

We have now completed our China tour with you and are sailing away on the ship. So I wanted to take a quick moment to thank you for an AMAZING trip!!! You were such a pleasure to deal with and super responsive to all my questions and requests. And then your tour partners stepped up to deliver on all the promises you made. We were taken care of every step of the way!!! We couldn’t have imagined getting better service!
There were so many little extra touches that your team gave us that took your service from beyond great to outstanding but here are a few examples:
- When we were dropped at our hotel in Beijing Fong Fong came up to our room with us to make sure that everything was in order and we didn’t need anything.
- Fong Fong and Mr Lee went out of their way and found us a Subway restaurant so we could grab a submarine sandwich to eat on the train.
- Fong Fong stayed with us at the train station until we got on our train and had our luggage stowed. She even took me to a different part of the train station in search of a western toilet for me.
- I wasn’t feeling great in Xi’an and Vivian made sure I drank lots of water, found comfortable places for me to sit and rest when needed and automatically found elevators and shorter routes to help me see everything with as little effort as possible.
- Vivian also stayed with us until we were on the train, which was a very different experience than some other fellow travelers who used a different tour company and were just dropped at the front doors of the train station
- Gila and Zhang adjusted their plans to take us to the Opera in the evening. This was a BIG ask given that we only decided to do this the day of (because I hadn’t been feeling well and wasn’t sure if I’d be up to it) and then they had to then be back in the morning at 5:30 to take us to the airport.
- When we were dropped back at the hotel after the Opera Gila came in with us and made arrangements with the hotel to have a “to go” breakfast ready for us in the morning.
- Gila stayed with us at the airport and helped us navigate through the check in process and the payment for our extra piece of luggage. This was invaluable for us as I’m not sure, with the language barrier, if we would have been able to sort all this out.
I will definitely complete your evaluation and send it to you when I get home. I will also go online and post my extremely positive review of your company. However, I did want to let you know how pleased we are and how grateful we are to you and the team for an amazing adventure!

Hi Wonder,
We’ve just arrived at our Beijing hotel and there was a packet waiting for us containing our train tickets.
We are very pleased with the service we have received from you and will certainly use China Discovery for any future trips to China. Your company was recommended to us by a work colleague last year and Vivienne I think organised a really good day for us in Xian. So of course when we needed some Chinese rail tickets this year your company was the first one we tried.
Many thanks for all your help.

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!!

CHINA DISCOVERY (CHENGDU CHINA): chinadiscovery.com Highly recommended.
The itinerary ; 16 days private tour in Shanghai Hangzhou Guilin Zhangjiajie Xian Beijing and group tour Yangtze Cruise (13th Sept to 28th September 2019)
If there is one word that best describes the flow of our 16 day long tour to China , the word is SEAMLESS. Our tour operator China discovery (based out of Chengdu China) were simply awesome. Right from the time we landed to the our last day they ensured we were cared for and made all efforts to make the trip memorable. It all started with an email to Leo Li (Representative at China Discovery). I’m sure he practices meditation coz he never lost his cool answering the several questions we had and innumerable changes we made before landing. He replied to my queries even whilst on his personal leave….that’s dedication. He guided me on the dates. We would have landed during golden week and that would have been a challenge with the local holiday crowds. Leo was also empathetic when we lost our perfumes, hairspray and swiss knife to security at the railway station in Xian (bear in mind you cannot have these if you are taking the bullet trains). He arranged to pick the confiscated items from the railway authorities and ship it back to us in Dubai. The level of service is par excellence. Having travelled extensively I can vouch for China discovery for the extra-efforts they put in to make it a great experience.
All tour guides spoke good English (Trust me you need one). I would like to mention KAI (Our guide in Beijing). He is an excellent story teller. Got us hooked to the history of China (Wish I had someone like him teach us in School). Then there were the other guides who gave us enough time as required, never overdoing the information bit. Answering the never ending questions we threw at them.
Our only setback during the trip was missing The forbidden city tour. The site was closed earlier than expected; as preparations were on for the 70th National Day. However we were re-imbursed by the tour operator.
China has something for everyone. We chose the more scene route. Avatar mountains of Zhangjiajie are surreal, the rice terraces of Guilin, the Li river cruise , the lake city of Hangzhou and the Yangtze cruise were all a delight to experience. We insisted on a no-shopping tour.
Food can be a bit of a challenge to a few . Chinese food although popular may be quite different than how its made in a foreign land. If you are a vegetarian , pls specify this to your tour operator to help them guide you.
Hotel rooms were comfortable and locations were perfect. We could wander around the happening streets in every city and enjoy a dinner and a drink whilst taking in the local experiences.
People of China love to take pics with foreigners and its fun to share a smile , a laughter or even a hug with well-meaning individuals. Chinese parents encourage their kids to speak in English. So do indulge in a bit of a chat with the little one’s .
Tips :
When visiting China , ensure you give it at least 2 weeks. It’s a huge country, with every city/town/village offering different experiences.
Keep an eye out for what you cannot carry on train journeys or risk prohibited items getting forfeited.
VPN : Buy it to stay connected.
Have an offline app to translate your language into Mandarin (This is a BIG help)
Do not take offence if the Chinese don’t smile back at you. They are not being rude. It’s just my understanding that they do not know what to make of your smile. They do not understand your intent or it could be that they simply don’t smile often. They are lovely people if you get to know them .
Do not pack in too much for the day. Every location has lots to see, so a lot of walking. Shortlist your choices and finish the day at around 5 or 6 p.m . This way you are ready for the next day.
China will surprise you in ways you weren’t expecting. This middle kingdom is indeed a sleeping giant as Napoleon Bonaparte rightly put. The country has had a remarkable growth economically. They have adapted to change .The transportation systems are super-efficient , the development in tourism is surprising and all these changes while keeping its traditions and culture alive.
China fascinates.

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.

1.Was your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions?
Wendy was wonderful. She always replied quickly to our emails, answered all of our questions and was willing to make any arrangements we needed.
2.How was your tour? Are you satisfied with the tour we arranged for you?
The tour in the Huangshan mountains was wonderful. Our guide Zora was helpful checking into hotels. We were lucky to have great weather and the mountains didn't disappoint at all. Zora knew the tour very well and took us to many highlights of the mountains. Be prepared to climb MANY steps. The Xihai Hotel in the mountains was also perfectly adequate. We also visited Hongcun and Xidi, two ancient villages. And we had a tour on the Xin'an river. The first stop in the ice cave is not a highlight, but the other three stops were well visiting. The stop in Jiusha Village is particularly beautiful in the fall, when the harvest is displayed.
When not in the mountains we stayed at Huashan Huiyan Hotel. It is not a fancy hotel, but the location is right by the 900 year old Tunxi street. Perfect to spend an afternoon and evening. Zora, our guide, was helpful in pointing out some areas to visit.
3.Do you have any suggestions on improving our services?
It might have been nice to have a guide in the Tunxi street. We had so many questions. Zora was great answering them the next day, but it would have been nice to have her with us on our first visit. Otherwise, I couldn't think of any improvements. I would definitely use China Discovery again to arrange for future travels.

On behalf of our group, I thank you once again for your dedicated effort so that we have a great holiday in China
Overall, our tour was good but hard to choose which part of the tour was the best. Below are our daily tour activities:
Zhangjiajie is our first destination:
On day 1, local guide, Carol was helpful, punctual and spoke English well. Her local knowledge was handy where she took us on the shortcut up to "1-step from Heaven" which saved us a couple of hours walking time. That was our 20km walk day!
On day 2, when we did the “Bailong Elevator”, and “10-li Gallery - 十里畫廊” was probably a bit disappointing cos Carol didn't give us much info on some of the sights or the significance of them (if there was any significance). may be too noisy traveling in the cable car.
On day 3, very handy to have Carol organise for tickets to the evening show for “Mei Li Xiang Xi - 魅力湘西”, which was pretty good show can’t miss.
On day 4, This is a 2 days visit to “Fenghuang old town” was good, Carol was able to show us best vantage point to take photos of an old town at night. Carol is also flexible enough to make arrangement for us to visit the “Hibiscus town - 芙蓉镇” on our way back from FengHuang.
Last day – day 6 in Zhangjiajie, Carol was good in chasing down our outstanding train tickets from Zhangjiajie to Yichang and saw us off at the train station. So, overall, Carol was very good, in our opinion, but probably could have given us a bit more background info and historical significance of the places we visited.
We enjoy the Yangtze river cruise very much. The friendly crew members, the foods and the entertainments are excellent. The state room is roomy and clean. This is exceeded our expectation
Chongqing is our 2nd destination:
On day 1, a day tour to “Dazu Grotto - 大足”, the local guide Alex, he certainly seemed to have more clued up on his subject re: the Dazu Grotto and the Beishan Rock Carvings. Alex’s English was pretty good.
On day 2, a day tour to visit the “Wulong Karst Scenic Area -武隆 & Furong Cave - 芙蓉洞”was great. It features the rare geological wonder - three natural karst stone bridges. Both Wulong and the Furong Caves are highly recommended.
Alex did his best to ensure we saw both places.
Guangzhou is our 3rd(last) destination:
Our last day tour is to visit – “Windows of the World” in Shenzhen. The local guide was Maggie. She spoke the best English. No real requirement for a guide as we were only going to Shenzhen. The miniature park which combines history relics nature wonders and culture together was good. Cos of time restraints, the CBD - shopping centre that we went to was probably really just to kill time, certainly not a lot that we were interested in, but that could just have been us.
Have said that, Maggie did a fantastic job for us. She is doing her best to resolve our transportation issues. She organised a van to pick up us for the airport at 04:45am from our hotel. The van is able to carry 6 of us and 6 large luggage. Maggie, also organised a private car tour for me to visit my hometown in Chongbian, xinhu. The total price is cheap and the service is great.
Moreover, Maggie did recommend us a fantastic restaurant for us to have dinner at (this is the best meal we have since we arrived China), no one will forget that meal we had at the 1 Michelin star restaurant, nor the “Bor-lor bao - 菠蘿包”Many thanks to Maggie!
2. Are you satisfied with the tour we arranged for you?
Yes. We are happy with the services provided. Our travel consultant Wendy Dan is a response person, she communicates with us frequently and make sure our requirements are met. She also contacts us thru email while we are on our journey to ensure we are problem free. The quotations provided are clear & reasonable, the payment instructions are clear. Having said that, since we have chosen our destinations, I guess so, it was a lot easier for Wendy to make arrangement, provide local guide and van/driver based on our choose destinations.
Overall, we are happy with the services arranged. Because it was a lot easier to get to the faraway places with the organised driver and guide, rather than we have to organise it ourselves at the risk of being ripped off, or given a bum steer like that driver in Guangzhou (after getting off the airport shuttle bus) who said that he could take all of us in the one car, with the suitcases, only to find out that he couldn’t do it!
3. Do you have any suggestions on improving our services ?
Well done. Only suggestion may be, ensure the local guide has a bit more background information and historical knowledge on the sights that we are visiting.

Hi Wonder
Firstly I wish to thank you for a most wonderful holiday last week in China that you so professionally and efficiently organised for me. Despite a couple of small hiccups, I found your arrangements for everything very professional and I am also most grateful for your accommodation of several last minute changes and tailoring to my itinerary.
I have recommended you and China Discovery to others, and have also written up a positive review in TripAdvisor.
I would be interested in exploring the Silk Road tour, especially the 10-day classic tour. When I checked on the website below for a preliminary quotation, it did not give it to me. Wonder, you know I would like to explore the most comfortable, 5-star tailored tour. Would you be able to facilitate an introduction to an experienced agent that covers the Silk Road who might be able to help me please?
Again, very well done and I appreciate your great help.

Back in India and I wanted to thank you for all the arrangements and tour planning you have done.
I have enjoyed every bit of the tour, guides and car drivers were all good and helpful. Must say Shanghai has been the best interms of everything. The hotel, their service, city and the experience everything was the best.
Beijing was also good and pleasant. It would have been more fun if the hotel people were more customer oriented. I had to struggle with room and air conditioning of the room everyday. I would suggest you choose another hotel for other customers.
But overall, I loved the trip and have lovely memories of all the places visited. Will plan next visit again through you.

Hi Leo,
Apologies for my delayed response. My family and I greatly appreciated the beautiful gifts that you had sent us. We also greatly enjoyed our experience with the Tibet tour. My feedback is overwhelmingly positive! Thank you also for accommodating my family's request for the additional hotel room. It was decided on the trip that it would have been best to have three rooms instead of two. The hotel in Lhasa had wonderful accommodations as did the hotel in Shigatse, though our first night in Shigatse had rooms that seemed a bit outdated. However, it was still very comfortable. I also appreciated the experience at the Rongbuk Guest House because it was such a unique experience. Most of us could not sleep at the Rongbuk Guest House but that was due to the high elevation and not because of the room.
The tour guide and driver kept us on schedule and our tour guide shared very good information. We all felt it was very thorough and informative beyond what we could have learned on our own. He was also transparent with adjusting the schedule and I thought that was a very good adjustment. It was probably better to do the longer sightseeing drive (11 hours) going back to Lhasa from Shigatse rather than what was originally on the itinerary. By then, we had been more acclimated with the altitude so we were less tired and able to enjoy the sights more. I think that was a very good change. He was also great with helping us navigate through all the monasteries and palaces, even with the large number of other tour groups.
My mother did have some feedback regarding some of the bathrooms along the way from Shigatse to Lhasa as well as the bathroom at the Rongbuk Guest House. However, I did share with her that we were informed in advance about the more rugged conditions. She wanted me to share this with you, but everyone else in my group had no issue with the bathrooms as we understand that there are certain areas in Tibet that are far less developed.
Thank you again for your hospitality. I have also shared my positive feedback with my Uncle Stephen who will be in China with your company later this month. I do plan to return to China and possibly visit a different area in the future and will reach out to your company when the time comes.

Hello Catherine,
First let me apologize for the length of time getting back to you. As soon as we returned home on September 17, following our twenty-two day cruise from Shanghai to Sydney, my wife had to go to the doctor with a strained hip muscle. I stopped all my activities for almost a week to help her as she could barely walk. Then on the 26th we had to fly Phoenix, Arizona to attend a "Celebration of Life" memorial service for Myrna's brother-in-law who died while we were gone. We didn't return until the 29th.
Finally I am able to respond to your request for information about our China Discovery Tour. Here are our comments:
1. You, Catherine Liu, our Travel Consultant, were excellent in answering our E-mails and definitely patient enough to answer our questions. We were very pleased with all you did to make our time in China a wonderful experience.
2. Our tour arrangements were very good although we were under the impression that the same people would be on our tours each day. Picking up different people at different stops each day took more time from touring than we expected.
3. We definitely are willing to recommend your service to people who are interested in visiting China. We have already been doing so.
4. Our opinion of your service is very good. The explanation of our China Discover Tour we received before booking was very thorough. Our hotels were excellent. Our tours were very informative. The guides were very good. The people that met us and/or helped us at the airports and train stations were very helpful. Without their help we would have had a great deal of trouble.
Our only problem was when we arrived in Beijing from Los Angeles. We were not met upon arrival and had to call to find out what to do. Evidently the person who was to greet us, and take us to the hotel, went to the wrong exit gate. He did find us after receiving a call from your office.
Our tours were generally very good although we did not get to stop at Tian'anmen Square and our long walk through the Forbidden City was in the rain. We were able to avoid a 1-2 hour wait in line at the museum in Shanghai because of our age. The others in the group were quite unhappy to have to wait in line so long.
We were disappointed in the 2nd class seating on the Bullet Train ride from Beijing to XiAn. It was extremely crowded. We had to store our large bags in the next compartment and put our smaller bags between our legs for the entire trip. Out suggestion would be to book 1st Class or higher tickets rather than 2nd Class train tickets.
Highlights of our China Discovery Tour were our visits to The Great Wall, the Terra Cotta Warriors, XiAn and the Pudong and Bund areas of Shanghai.
5. A suggestion would be to include a dinner at a Hot Pot restaurant. We did this on our own in XiAn with the help of our guide. It was a great experience. Also, unless you can get immediate entrance into the museum in Shanghai, you should eliminate this stop.
6. You can use our comments. As to photos, we have not separated them as yet but will email some at a later date. I have yet to start on my article but will notify you when it is published on-line....probably not for a few months.
7. You can have potential customers contact me at 501-922-1101 or by email at Chuck@TheTravelingGuy.com.
Catherine, again I apologize for the delay in getting this information to you.

Yes, we had a wonderful time in China - thank you for the effort that you put into making our tour excellent. I have sent you a few photographs by a separate email and I give you permission to put these and my evaluation on your website, provided my email address is not included.
1. Our travel consultant was very quick in replying to everyone of our emails. An email sent one day would be replied to the next. Given the 7 hour time difference - we were delighted with this aspect of the service. Every question I asked was immediately answered to our satisfaction and we were left in absolutely no doubt that all our requirements would be met.
2. All our tour guides were excellent. They were informative and knowledgeable and easy to get on with. We would particularly like to mention that Candy (Beijing), Timo (Xi’an) and Smiley (Guilin) were exceptional. However, all our guides looked after us very well. After I fell over badly (in Xi’an) Timo and Smiley went out of their way to ensure that I was able to get about easily, offering support where necessary.
3. I would absolutely recommend your company to anyone. The service we received from the date of our first enquiry was exceptional. I cannot recommend China Discovery highly enough.
Thank you Ashley, for arranging everything so thoroughly - David and I really appreciated your efforts. As stated in my email attaching the photographs - I give you permission to include my evaluation - but would appreciate it if you ensure that my email address is not published.

Hello Mr Li
we really enjoyed our tour in China. Hotels in Beijing New World Bejiing Hotel, Sofitel in Xi'an, Sofitel in Chengdu and Grand Meridien in Shanghai were super (meet our expectations).
As for the train it has change a lot in 20 years and you were right it was alright and efficient
Our guides were Sally in Bejiing, Iris in Pingyao,Crystal in Xi'an, Kevin in Chengdu and Caroline in Shanghai. The four first one asked us to complete a form for evaluation of their services we gave them back the form with our comments, we really like them and what we saw
We liked the visit of the hutongs in Beijing, the forbidden city, the summer palace, the temple of Heaven, the great wall and the Ming tombs. Crystal in Xi'an took us on a place between the bell tower and the drum tower it was really a good spot for pictures; when we went to The Terra cotta museum it was raining heavily but she help us find good shoes cover
Chengdu also meet our expectations, the Panda research base, the Jilin street,etc
As we told Iris in Pingyao the bathroom in the hotel was dirty and the food were not good but Iris and the driver were very nice. We liked Pingyao
As for Shanghai heavy rain and smog made it impossible to visit as planned, we were told that Yu garden was under renovation.
We would be pleased to recommend China Discovery

Jack,
Below is a copy of a review I have submitted to Trip Advisor - my wife and I had a fantastic time in China and your company delivered everything promised at a great price, and the guides were fantastic.
I'm a meticulous vacation planner and while the pre-planned packages available from various tour companies were good, none specifically met what my wife and wanted to do on vacation. I did some research on where to go and what to see and we originally were going to do 12-13 days to include some trips into the rural areas to see some scenery, etc. We ended up limiting the trip to the three big cities and received bids from multiple tour companies based in China. China Discovery stood out in the quality and completeness of their responses and had the most competitive pricing. The reviews on Trip Advisor were also very positive and helpful.
We ended up booking 8 days in China with visits to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing. We had a list of everything we wanted to see and China Discovery made it happen -- an advantage of booking a private tour is that you can go and see what you alone want to do. (We booked our own air travel to and from China using miles earned on an airline)
In Hong Kong I was not able to find a private guide -- they are all group tours. The buses are designed for around 30 people and we had 10 in our group one day on a Lantau Island tour (fantastic) and just the two of us the next day (Victoria's Peak, Aberdeen Fishing Village/Stanley Market -- avoid it, just find a way to go to Victoria's Peak).
In mainland China private tours are the only way to go. Why? You are only as fast as the slowest people in your group. And when it was just the three of us (us plus guide/driver) we were much more nimble at getting through crowds and we were in a car or minivan, not a bus, for driving around. The tour company gets the tickets for everywhere you are going so you don't have to wait in line. And we were able to customize portions -- like no Shanghai Museum, but add Tongli water town and a night cruise in Shanghai. Add high-speed train instead of plane between Shanghai and Beijing ... with first class tickets.
I read reviews of the hotels they had chosen to put us up at and all got good to great reviews -- and they lived up to expectations. Note: you can ask for different hotels if you want higher quality or different location -- a China four-star is Western three-star, etc. The Regal Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong was 2 1/2-3 star compared to the other two hotels. Food was average -- I had to teach the cook how to do Over Easy Eggs. The Yangtze Boutique Shanghai was fantastic -- huge room and great service -- 4-4.5 stars! Beijing hotel was the Ramada Park Plaza Wangfujing that was also great ... 4 stars. Food was great at both Shanghai and Beijing hotels. Breakfast at the hotels was included every day and lunch on most days which was in local Chinese restaurants. Extra expenses were tips for our guides and drivers, dinner, snacks, souvenirs, taxis -- we ended up spending much less than anticipated in this regard.
We had different guides each day in Hong Kong because they were group tours, then a guide + driver for the Shanghai area and guide + driver for the Beijing area. All of them spoke English well and were able to answer questions that we had. They were all very knowledgable about the subjects of each tour and even got into nitty gritty details. We were VERY impressed. At meals we would talk about all sorts of things -- especially about how we all lived and family, things like that. The guides had no problem taking photos of us with our phones and never hurried us along if we wanted to take additional photos or video.
We happened to encounter an annual holiday when we were in Shanghai -- with millions of people pouring into the city to celebrate -- and then rehearsals for a 70th anniversary of the PRC parade and celebration in Beijing shut some roads and attractions. Both could have really thrown a monkey wrench into our plans, but the guides were adept at rearranging the schedule to our advantage to avoid crowds and juggle going to sights that were open.
What did we see? Each line is what we did in a day
Hong Kong -- Lantau Island tour (4 sights to see) .... rating A
Hong Kong -- HK Island tour ... rating C (avoid as Aberdeen Fishing Village
doesn't exist, Stanley Market is OK if you want to shop for clothes, artwork
and souvenirs, and you are forced to do a Jewelry Factory Tour that is really a
way to try and get you to buy some jewelry, only Victoria's Peak was good on
that tour)
Shanghai -- Yu Garden, the Bund, Nanjing Road (shopping), World Financial
Center (100th floor observatory), nighttime cruise ... rating A
Shanghai -- Tongli Water Town (has canals like Venice) ... rating B (very
touristy, but still interesting)
Beijing -- The Mutianyu Great Wall, the Ming Tombs ... rating A
Beijing -- Hutong Tour/Rickshaw Ride, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven ...
rating A
Beijing -- Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City ... rating A (the Square is kind of
meh, but the Forbidden City more than made up for it)
One piece of advice save the Forbidden City for last ... it is so impressive it may make other sights seem much less interesting.
Everything China Discovery promised, they delivered at a reasonable price.

Excellent Private Tour with China Discovery (Wendy) to China
We (German family of 4) had a most pleasant and interesting tour through some of the highlights of China. We stressed from the beginning, that our goals were the history, the nature, and the future outlook of China which we are the most interested in. And exactly to meet these expectations of us, Wendy organized the trip accordingly (Beijing with history, Guilin with nature, Yangtse cruise, and Shanghai to see the future).
As we are experienced travelers (I have been to some 80-90 countries traveling and working), we were not sure at the beginning, if we should use the services of a traveling agent at all. I had been in contact with a few Chinese and foreign agents, but then decided to use the package prepared by Wendy of China Discovery. After the trip, I can say, it was good to use this travel agency with such an efficient, always fast-reacting and well-advising tour operator, Ms Wendy Dan.
Ms Wendy did such an excellent job, very helpful, answered all our questions within hours, all her recommendations were great. She was always available to us, with an excellent command of English. She efficiently organized all the local guides and all the domestic journeys (plane, trains, boats) - everything worked well.
Beside my appreciation to Ms Wendy I am also grateful to these six tour guides, who also were all very friendly and helpful, some of them being with us for a few days, some only for a few hours. They were very helpful, gave good information on the venues but also in general conversation, always punctual, but also flexible, when we requested some minor changes of the program.
If we would have been traveling by our own, we surely would not have seen this much within the short period of 15 days. Also, language can be a challenge for visitors without tour (maybe not in Shanghai).
I also appreciate that Wendy informed us in a honest and realistic way about additional expenses, such as tips for the guides, or any fees not included. Additional expenses are acceptable, if you know them beforehand.
While some visitors complain about obligatory sales shows, we did not mind them at all (3), everyone was very polite, and we learned a lot.
One word about China and the main reason of our visit: China is huge, absolutely fascinating, often misunderstood and poorly reported in the West. This trip gave us a further insight (though clearly not complete within such a short time), how China is developing, and what dynamics it has at potential. It is by far better organized and structured than I thought, with great technologies and investments as the right means to bring development to the people. I consider China as a motor for the development to the future. To see it first hand and not only through the media of the West, made this trip a great lesson. Conclusion of this nice trip: Africa can copy, Europe can learn a lot from China.
Feel free to contact me (for questions or discussions).

Hello Wonder,
Thank you for the gift and the card. We really enjoyed our trip and we want to say a big thank-you for organizing it for us. I don't believe we could have seen nearly as many wonderful sights in the time we had, if not for China Discovery and your amazing guides and drivers. Also, thanks for making our last minute change for our flight to Beijing. We really appreciate that!

Hi Mark
We had a wonderful day with Ruby!! The day was a real highlight of our trip for all of us, and my parents were pretty proud of themselves for all the walking they did. Ruby was an excellent guide, she was very informative and knowledgable and didn't tire of answering all our questions and made sure it was the right pace for everyone. We really appreciated her willingness to share insights into chinese life and culture along the way with us and to learn about our way of life in New Zealand! It was also great having her join us for our local lunch and share the meal. A fantastic day. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know visting china!
Thank you for the gift too! I will share some pictures when I return to New Zealand.

I would like to thank you for your great services before and during our trip to China this year in August. Not only that everything was perfectly organised but you also put extra effort to help us with the lost item of my daughter. Working with you was a big pleasure and we enjoyed our trip very much. As we really love the natural beauty of China and its culture and history I am sure we will be back soon and we will definitely turn to you again as to our tour operator to organise our trip. I wanted to write my thanks earlier but I was busy at work and with my family.

Hi Jack
I was going to email you when I got home to say thank you very much - it was a very good trip and with hindsight my only regret is not doing a longer trip to include mount kailsdh and possibly lake namtso.
They changed the itinerary so I left for Everest a day early and I think the original plan would have been better with on more day to acclimatise, but luckily I was ok and we were lucky with the weather - we saw the top of Everest at night and the bottom of Everest in the morning.
So I would very much recommend the trip to anyone. The guides were nice and everything worked perfectly.
Thank you very much for all your help. I will look at the chengdu bamboo site when I get home to see what else you offer - I still have about 4 or 5 further Chinese itineraries to work out.

Hello Mark,
Sorry for not responding to you sooner. We got back to home-California on August 19. And I have been ill for almost 2 weeks, finally I feel better.
Yes, we had a great trip in China, except the weather-hot and humid. The Yangtze Cruise was the highlight of our trip. We really enjoyed the history and the cultural along the Yaangtze river, especially the Three Gorge Dam excursion. It was incredible to experience the engineering marvel.
The service on the cruise was great. The arrangment of the dinning table was very thoughtful. We enjoyed our company at the same table at every meal. We appreciated being placed with others who spoke English.
Two things I would like to point out are 1) the information provided needs to be consistent - for the last days excursion, it was confusing. We highly recommend that the ship manager -Jack should do that excursion at least once, so he would provide clear information on how the excursion worked. Also, Jack was difficult to understand. 2) The mandatory tip per passenger was not disclosed properly. We were charged 150rmb per person instead of 150rmb per adult.
All in all, the cruise was great. The waitress assigned to our table was fantastic. All the people on the board were friendly and helpful. We had a joyful experience on the cruise. Thank you for suggesting this ship and your attentive service. Attached are the photoes you requested.
Best wishes,

Dear Ashley,
Thank you for your very kind and thoughtful text message of 9 Sept.
which we received on arriving home.
I am a little unsure just how to start to thank you enough for the manner and way that you have worked and the kindness you have shown to us to make our brief visit to your magnificent Country so enjoyable and one we shall always remember.
However I will begin by saying I was greatly impressed with the manner and honesty in which you displayed in the detailed planning stage of our trip.
I want to thank you again for the gifts which you gave as at our only too short but enjoyable meeting in Chengdu. I don't know how you learned (or guessed) what Lindy favorites were: but you got them all. They were unexpected and a lovey surprise.
Every thing organized for the trip went off well. We did not encounter any problems and so were able enjoy are brief trip to the 4 cities. Although having done a lot of research on the internet prior to departing, the tours and sites visited at each city exceeded my expectations.
The guides and drivers were also great and the system of drop of and pick works well up saved us countless hours.
Each of our guides were very helpful, polite and most knowledgeable, and showed quite different strengths, character and personalities.
Kai in Beijing: a born teacher who is passionate about and loves his subject and was keen to impart it to us. A very intense personality, inclined to repeat himself a little, but with excellent fluent English and an easy accent easy for us poor mono-linguist Australians to understand. Lindy would have liked a few more coffee stops (what's new) but understand that they was not available at many of the sights we visited.
Ben in Xi'An: very knowledgeable about the Warriors, items at the Museum and the city, friendly and accommodating with a very good and easy to understand English. He also arranged every thing for us to see the Tang Dynasty Theater show at night.
Sandy in Chengdu: ensured that we were able enjoy the visit to the Pandas a real highlight of the tour. He was most accommodating to our every wish and Lindy's like for Starbucks coffee.
Danny in Guilin: The real friendly family "county" man. Out to do every thing possible to show us what we wonted to see on some-wot tiring hot days. The country views here are breathtaking.
The two fast train rides were very pleasant and comfortable but the crowds at stations were a little overwhelming.
The two short domestic plane rides were uneventful (similar to ours)
The two Hotels you booked were great, The Bamboo Leaf, very friendly, quite and a nice change from the somewhat impersonal international chains. Thank you for getting their signature room for us, Lindy loved the country outlook.
The Hilton Capital suite was also a welcome surprise.
Although you may not have much to do with it, the weather was favorable with the only rain we experienced for the whole trip being a very light shower on the morning we visited the Pandas which they seemed to enjoy.
We are still in awe at the skill, patience and tolerance of your car drivers, but were in fear of the silent scooters every time we crossed the road.
You and your associates have helped China Discovery to earn the excellent reputation it has on the many Internet review sites.
So summing up, well done and thank you so very much.

Hi
Wendy,
I apologize, that I didn't reply to your earlier email. You might understand,
that I have a full desk after return.
Let me answer you shortly, as per request, on those 3 questions:
1. Was your travel consultant of our company
fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions?
The response by Wendy to all our emails and inquiries was always immediate and
answering exactly our questions, or adjusting to our requests. Excellent.
2. How was your tour? Are you satisfied with
the tour we arranged for you?
The trip was great, fantastic. We saw a lot of China, within the given
trip of 15 days. We are completely satisfied with both the tour planning (by
Wendy) and also with the individual tour guides and their personalities and
knowledge (in particular, Keven and Steven). The trip was, as I expected, a
combination of seeing history, nature and future.
3. Do you have any suggestions on improving
our services?
The trip was for our full satisfaction. The only thing I could think of would
be an option at some of the day or half-day trips to select between
alternatives.
For the other points, such as photos, review in Trip Advisor, my extended
travel blog etc, I like to ask you kindly to give me another week before I
send/submit them.
Feel free to publish my email address, if other travelers are asking for a

Hi Echo,
I will share some photos once I have been through them. I have responded to the questions below which I hope is of value.
1.How about your tour arrangements?
Tour arrangements were perfect. Having previously visited China we were very particular about where we wanted to visit this time and Echo was very accommodating and helpful with the initial itinerary.
Echo’s patience with some unavoidable delays in obtaining our Chinese visa was commendable and I very much appreciated the support and patience.
Our pickups an drop-offs to and from our transportation was perfect with a guide waiting for us with a clear sign in a very visible area each and every time was fantastic. That and the friendly and helpful nature of all of the guides really made our trip into a highly pleasurable experience.
2.Are you willing to recommend our service to those who would like to come to China ?
Absolutely, I did quite a bit of research before deciding which travel company to choose and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by China Discovery and Echo Gou.
3. Your general opinion on us?
My opinion is that China Discovery provides a first class service to anyone wishing to visit China without the normal problems associated with travel arrangements.
4. What will be your suggestions regarding how to improve our services?
The service was perfect! I cannot think of any advice which would improve it.
5.Do you plan to write (or have already written) a travelogue or a story to share with your friends? Would you like to share it with us and our clients? We would be happy to publish it on our website. Photos often tell more than words and we would appreciate if you share some of them with us.
Yes, we travel often and I do go through all of my photos and make a selection of the best ones, which I would be happy to share once that enormous task is completed. We travelled for 10 weeks and have over 7000 photos to go through, but once that task is complete I will send a selection of photos.

Zoe was a great guide and like Ruby before her, she was very knowledgable on anything related to our tours in Xian. She made sure everthing went smoothly. In fact during our visit to Mt Hua, she was checking on the mountain guide (Henry) to ensure that we were both doing well.
Jo Jo doing the Beijing tour was very well prepared on the subjects and did well in handling a large group. We were very impressed with the great wall and in fact we thought that 2 hours allocated to this awesome site were too little.

Suggestions:
In some hotels we didn't found a continental breakfast: it was a problem for us to start the day :)
The last hotel of Zhangjiajie was too far from everything: difficult to go to the center ( taxi drivers didn't understand english) nothing nice all around ( just the park): i suggest you to let your hosts remain in Emperor 's Hotel ( even if it's not a very nice hotel) as in few minute by walk you can reach shops and bars especially in the evening.
I suggest you to book the glass bridge for the tourists that are interested in it because we wanted but our guide told us that was impossible to have tickets.

Echo,
We had a wonderful time on our tour through the four cities in China. All
of our tour guides were excellent each with their own special talent. Our
first guide, Forest in Beijing was extra attentive and flexible working around
our special circumstances, traveling with my “special needs”
granddaughter. He was also extremely knowledgeable about Beijing and the
attractions that were included in our tour. His assistance at the
train station also made our transfer to XiAn less stressful. Waldner in
XiAn was full of humor. Unfortunately, my son was pickpocketed at the
Terracotta Warriors Museum and his cell phone was stolen. That caused a
period of negative emotions during our stay in XiAn. Waldner also
assisted us at the train station to make the transfer less stressful.
Gila in Chengdu really went out of her way to allow us an authentic “taste” of
Chengdu. Gila also helped us check in at the airport for our flight to
Shanghai. Nanette in Shanghai was also very helpful when we got a late
start to the airport. She assisted us through baggage check to see us off
in good time to make it to our flight.
The tour guides’ assistance were also valuable because of the minimal English
that is spoken or understood throughout our travels through China. I was
quite surprised that even in the hotels that were booked for us, the staff’s
ability to communicate in English was very limited.
The hotels that were included in our tour were very nice. The location of
the hotels in Beijing and Chengdu were exactly what I like with dining and
shopping immediately surrounding the hotel. The location of the Xian
hotel felt a bit less comfortable.
I would definitely recommend China Discovery to my friends and family if they
are planning to visit China.
Thank you very much!

We really enjoyed our tour of China with your company. The hotel accommodations were quite good and met our needs. The vehicles that we rode around in were very nice and comfortable rides. The food that we ate at the hotels and restaurants was all very tasty and enjoyable. We feel that with your tour we saw the best things to see in each of the sites and saw the most of what could be seen in China with only 1 week’s time. We even got to do some things that were of special interest to us like getting a family massage and seeing some shows. The bullet trains were also fast and efficient to get us from place to place. The tour guides all spoke very good English and were knowledgeable. Our private tour was very well planned out and everything was taken care for us so we only needed to enjoy our vacation.

Beijing
Forrest was very attentive to our needs and was efficient in getting us to the places that we were to visit and made sure that we got priority access and did not need to wait in line. He picked us up early and on time for our visit to The Great Wall and made sure we had plenty of water to drink. When it was hot out at Tienanmen Square, he bought us all ice popsicles to cool down which we appreciated. He also gave us the most relevant information about each site that we visited. We wanted to go to a Chinese Herbal Medicine shop and he found one for us. He also acted calmly and quickly when the vehicle we were in was involved in a minor traffic accident. Forrest quickly called us a cab so that we could get to our last destination before leaving so that we did not miss the rickshaw ride.
Xi'an
Vivian was a warm and engaging tour guide that like to tell us about the places that we were visiting. She was also very accommodating in answering our questions and paying attention to our specific needs. She made us feel comfortable as we visited the different sites in Xian. On the second day we all wanted to get a massage and she made a special effort to look up a local place where the whole family could get a massage together and she took us there which we really enjoyed and appreciated. We also got to go see a Chinese dinner and theater show. Vivian arranged for the driver to pick us up and take us back to the hotel after it was done. We enjoyed her company and conversation as she led us to the various attractions that we saw.
Shanghai
Laura was a very experienced tour guide and she gave us a lot of detailed information to all of the sites that we visited. She also changed the schedule around while we were in Shanghai to maximize the amount of time that we had at each place and to avoid the crowds. She was very accommodating and knew the best places to get family photos. On the last day before we left, she found us a good restaurant to have lunch at. Our son was going to college at NYU Shanghai which was the purpose of our trip to drop him off. Laura arranged transportation for us to get to the campus for Move-In Day, and the same driver picked us up after we were done to drive us to the airport. We really appreciated Laura’s attention and suggestions, including taking us to see a Chinese acrobat show.

Yes, back at work now.
Our time in Guangzhou was excellent. Jack and the driver did a great job. In particular, Jack’s knowledge enhanced the museum visits. He also went the extra mile to help us get our train tickets to Hong Kong. This would have been very challenging without him.
We thought the hotel was the best for our visits to China, so far. You may wish to point out to British and Irish visitors that the hotel is close to the Happy Monk British pub and Paddy Field Irish pub.
Joe may wish to add his thoughts.
Thank you for organising yet another great trip to China.

Mr. Li,
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Vikki and Driver, Mr. Wu. She was very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She took us to some great restaurants and we enjoyed the cuisine of China in a most delightful way. She was considerate with allowing us time to engage with all aspects of of our interests, and we loved that she was not taking us to just shop!
Mr. Wu made us feel comfortable and safe in his vehicle, he was courteous to open doors and cooled the car down after long stays in the sun.
It is very difficult to say what was our best trip, we loved so much about it.
On the last day we visited a tea house in the village with the walls. It was nestled in the midst of the village and Vikki summed our trip up while we were there, giving us historical perspective and cultural perspectives of our sites. In reminiscing about the trip I would have to say my favorite thing was the “short-skirt” Miao were most hospitable and their food was very good, but truly every aspect of our visit was a delight. We hope to visit again to “Discover China” we really feel like we went beyond the tourists scene to really get a glimpse into the beauty and wonder of China.
Thank you very much!

Our guides were flexible if we needed more or less time. They helped us pick our meals at night. Drew maps to local restaurants. They translated for us when we needed help shopping, ordering food and other situations. They were full of interesting age appropriate information for each of our family members.

Dear Johnson,
We are back from our wonderful trip to China and wanted to thank you for the effort you put in to make it smooth and comfortable for us. As we didnt speak the language, we appreciated being helped through all the airports which made things much easier for us.
Your country is beautiful, so vast and with so much to see. All the meals we had were super delicious, the best one being in Xi’an at the spa resort. Truly, there was never a bad meal in China anywhere.
We loved Beijing - Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City were impressive, the Temple of Heaven, and walking through the Summer Palace and tombs of the Ming Dynasty, very lovely. The highlight though, was our climb to the Great Wall - amazing! Kevin, our guide in Beijing, was outstanding and went out of his way to cover it all while making sure we avoided the crowds.
In retrospect, we might have spent less time in Xi’an, where we traveled back to 221 BC to see the Terra-cotta Warriors and browse through the Muslim Quarters. Our guide, Timo was very professional. Perhaps though it might have been better to spend a few days in Sichuan where the pandas live. We also loved going to Lhasa and our guide, Zhou Ma, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Shanghai was not to be because of the typhoon, so going back to Beijing for the Lama Temple, Confucius Park, Imperial College and zoo was the right thing to do. We also appreciated upgrading to a suite at the Dong Fang. Our guide, Sally, and pick up person, Cherry, were very good. On the whole, it was a fabulous tour. Once again, thanks for all your help in making it happen.

Thanks for your email. We had a great trip in China and thank you for meeting us in Chengdu!
Of the various guides, the best guides were Laura (in Shanghai) and Smiley (in Guilin / Yangshuo). They both chose excellent restaurant, great ambiance, very good selection of food and also gave us choices. They both made us fell very much at home. I would highly recommend them. Smiley’s English was excellent and very much fun to talk to. She even made an effort to take us to clean rest rooms as she knew my wife was very particular on rest room cleanliness.
Eban in Chengdu was good as well, but it was a short meeting with him.
Willy was fine in Xian and was helpful during the trip. His English was excellent! One area of opportunity for him is to become a better listener. He has great communication but sometimes does t listen.
Lily in Beijing is an excellent person, but her English can be improved. Many a times we could not understand what she was saying and we had to keep asking her to repeat. She was very good with the kids. She gave us local Beijing candies (very kind of her) and the kids loved it. Also on the food in Beijing, I wish it was as good as other places. The quality of food was not great compared to the food we got in Shanghai/ Guilin/Chengdu which was great! Also the restaurant ambience was not very good. But lily was great. May be this is an area for improvement for Beijing section. Better selection of restaurants.
Overall an excellent and memorable trip

Hi Leo,
Here is my review. I will likely post it on TripAdvisor to help other tourists out so they know what to expect. Let me know if you would like anything edited (such as the Wire Transfer vs PayPal part) if you find it harmful for your business. My intent is to describe my experience to other Western travellers that may have similar fears about booking a trip like this.
Thanks for all you did. The trip was both flawless and amazing.
I took a 2 week personalized vacation with Chendu Bamboo tours through China. I wanted to put some thoughts down to the TripAdvisor community as I had a lot of reservations going into it, and I hope my review will help clarify some of the items that I was uncertain of.
First, while I researching, I determined that I wanted to do a custom tour as none of the packages that I saw had everything I wanted. The towns I chose were Beijing, Xian, Dunhuang, Chengdu, Guilin and Shanghai. I submitted inquiries to multiple companies and ChinaDiscovery came back to me promptly with a very comprehensive tour that was detailed and in line with my expectations. The scary part of communicating my requirements was that it had to be done mostly through email, although the company was also quick to Skype call me to handle some of my more advanced questions.
If you decide to book a tour like this (and you are firmly in the middle class) this is and expensive endeavor. For you to pull the trigger, you can expect 4 big expenditures. First, you will need to put 1/3 balance down on the trip to reserve the reservation. That 1/3 was placed through PayPay, and the Paypal account that I placed it to did not look anything like the business I was dealing with. It was scary sending the money to such a strange account, but in the end, the transaction was fine. One point of confusion...you may research and book through ChinaDiscovery, however the invoice then turned into (in my case) Chengdu Bamboo International Tours Co, Ltd. I don't fully understand the relationship, but it was legitimate, although a little confusing of why the website said one thing, but the actual contractor that was doing the work said another. Another scary thing came later when I was asked to pay the remaining 2/3 balance, I was requested to do so via wire transfer. Again, a scary endeavor which I felt I would have no protection if the company was not legitimate. So fearing loss of funds, I reached a win/win compromise to use the Paypal account again (with Visa) to submit the funds. Once I received confirmation, the company executed the hotel, train and plane tickets flawlessly, communicating the reservations about 1 week later.
In short, my fears were unfounded.
You will also have to handle 3 other expenses. First, and not surprising are your international plane tickets, which I handled shortly after the deposit. But the 3rd and 4th were not known. As a US citizen, I needed to get Visas for myself and the family. A Chinese Visa costs about $160 per person, and to get it, you must carefully submit a form to the Chinese consulate in a designated region of the country. Because I delayed doing this, I needed to do expedited service. And because the form is brutal and requires you to send your passports to the Chinese consulate, I enlisted a visa expert (CIBT.com) in order to get in processed. Long story short, about $1K later, I received the last of the passports back from the consulate with about 2 days to spare.
The other warning, since all the trips have drivers and tour guides that take you around, you are advised (not mandated) to give them tips. Unfortunately, there are no guidelines given or direction of how much to give. I spent time researching on the internet what were fair tips for always outstanding service. Now, 1 week after the trip, I still have no idea if I tipped fairly, generously or cheaply. But, calculate 2 weeks and 2 persons a day, you can calculate that it will cost you hundreds of dollars or thousands of Yuan.
Last warning to give about going to China...you'll need cash. Only some (not most) banks and stores are hooked up to the Visa and Mastercard system. This means, (1) you may need to search for the right bank to get cash in China in order to withdraw funds and (2) the vendors that you'll see only will take your cash. This caused some stress the first couple of days as I had trouble finding a bank that worked.
Now...for the good stuff. Once prepping for all that, the trip that was designed by Chinadiscovery (or Chengdu Bamboo Tour Company) was pretty spectacular. The guides were beyond great, and did a truly amazing, amazing job of being everything you would want as a tour guide. Prompt, flexible, funny, sometimes motherly, sometimes brotherly, open, honest, kind, insightful, human, knowledgeable and ...simply great. Each one in each town was different...but each of them took such pride in their cities/country that you are given a great gift.
The hotels were as good as it gets as well. Breakfast was included in all hotels...some food good, and other food great. The hotels were within walking distance to all the good things. For Beijing, 15 min walk to the Forbidden City. Shanghai? 5 minute walk to the River and 20 minutes to The Bund. I could go on, but the accommodations were really good. Combine that with flawless execution of all travel arrangements, it made for a stress free trip. The lunches were all Chinese and again, and food ranged from good to great. They always gave our family of 3 too much food for one sitting, and I felt embarrassed about leaving so much food behind.
In Beijing, our guide took us through Tienanmen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, The Great Wall, and Temple of Heaven (among other places). When she took us to the train station, she insisted in walking us down to our seat on the High Speed railway car. When I asked if that is the company policy, she said 'that MY policy' (to ensure her clients get to where they are going). Amazing. We reached Xian for a day and Zoe gave us great insights of the growing city, the crowds, and life in China. Then onto Dunjuang, where Lily and her driver rearranged the schedule to ensure that we saw all the Silk Road sites. The schedule changes included her and the driver starting at 6AM (after we were picked up at the airport 10PM the night before) in order to ensure we saw everything. Then in Chengdu, Cherry helped so patiently with my wife's shopping at the Panda sanctuary. And in Guilin, Kennedy was awesome describing the land and China's ethnic minority. The insight for the rice fields and rivers were wonderful. We ate probably the best Chinese food of the trip in the fresh country air. Then finally, to Shanghai, where Zack was truly a joy, and one of the friendliest and enjoyable people I have ever met in my life. The city of Shanghai was amazing, and my son enjoyed it tremendously.
Two things I would do over if I could. First, I would plan to take it in June, not late July. We had to compete with the rest of China, which has summer break at this time. As a result, the places were packed with China tourist going to the same sites, which made the crowds a bit much. Second, I would have also altered the trip to spend 1 less day in Guilin and 1 more day in Shanghai. Other than that, I would not have changed anything.

Hello Zoe,
I’m sorry it took me so long to reply to you. We really appreciated your help in arranging our trip with such short notice. Usually when we travel we don’t use a travel agent and we spend many weeks planning. Because China is so large and we had only 10 days including flights we needed help in making decisions and you provided that. We had very good guides which made getting around easy. It would have been difficult to figure out getting around the airports and train stations by ourselves. The guides’ English ranged from good to excellent. We especially loved Carol in Zhangjiajie. She was fun and recommended really good restaurants! Johnny took us to a museum in Xian that was not on our itinerary and we enjoyed that. He also recommended a new market with many food vendors that was very fun to go for dinner in Xian. Our favorite places were Zhangjiajie, the Terra-cotta Warriors and the Great Wall. Our least favorite were the Jade Factory and the tea house. We felt they was some pressure to buy things and that is not something that interests us. We liked our hotels and their locations. We were able to walk to interesting places for dinner, especially the Hutong near our hotel in Beijing.
Zoe, you did a very good job for us. You always responded to my emails quickly, answered all my questions and gave us good advice. I think we must have kept you very busy. And you seem very friendly! I enjoyed working with you and I will write a review on Trip Advisor.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your email. We arrived back in the Netherlands last week, immediately back to work so quite busy. Need another holidays. :-)
Kindly find our reply to your questions below.
I have given our review on Tripadvisor and will recommend your company to our friends and family.
To give you some feedback on the hotels we stayed in this trip:
- Novotel Peace Beijing - Great location, very comfortable with connecting rooms, great service, great choices for breakfast, acceptable good quality
- Novotel SCPG Xian - Great location, very comfortable with connecting rooms, great service, great choices for breakfast, acceptable good quality
- Somerset Chongqing - Location ok, very comfortable, great service (change our room promptly due to broken aircon), limited choices for breakfast, acceptable ok quality
- Santo Domingo Wulingyuan - Great location, very comfortable, limited choices for breakfast, quality is not good at all.
- Sunrise on the Bund Shanghai - Location can be better, very comfortable but no connecting rooms, great choices for breakfast and acceptable good quality
Hope the above helps.
Thank you again for the great service and memorable trip.
Best regards

Hi
Lyn,
Thank you for your email. We have now returned from our most interesting trip
to China.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our cruise aboard Yangtze 8.
Unfortunately my wife had to return to Australia for medical reasons before the
cruise and was not able to come with us.
The highlights - Andrew and I particularly enjoyed the Little Three Gorges
excursion and the Mini Three Gorges option as well. We chose the upstairs
dining option and appreciated the quieter meals and friendly, helpful staff
there.
I have included a couple of our pictures which you are welcome to use if you
wish. I would recommend this cruise to others and thank you for your assistance
in arranging our booking beforehand.
Kind regards,
View on the Cruise Trip

Hi Wendy - I'm sorry for the late response.
Everything went perfectly during our trip and we had a great time. The train connections you booked for us were ideal and timing worked out great. Guilin and Yangshuo were well worth the trip. We even made it out to the rice terraces in Longsheng.
Your help is much appreciated. I will definitely reach back out if we plan a next trip to China and will recommend you to anyone else who needs help with travels to China.
Review on tripadvisor was just posted, too.
Thanks again!

Good evening
I am Sarala from Chennai, India
I am one of 3 visitors from India who visited China tour recently. It was wonderful experience visiting these places. After the whole trip I felt we could have skipped Nanjing and suzou.
Lee from Zhangjiajie and Jessy from Kunming are the best guide come translator during our trip.
On the whole the trip was wonderful and will look to see rest of china in future. Thank you.

Everything was perfect, from guides to actual tours etc, yes would recommend and have already.

Only thing would be for guides to provide an option for lunches, most of ours were really good, but an option for non Chinese food would be good also.

Hi Vivien,
I am writing to thank you for our wonderful trip to china. All the guides and drivers were great and taught us a lot. Our hotels were in good positions with our favourites being sunrise on the bund in shanghai and the Tianyuankui hotel in Pingyao. The others were a little dated and a bit too much alike. Thanks again for a great trip.

Hi Echo,
We had a really wonderful trip - thank you for all of your arrangements. I really appreciate all of your efforts to accommodate our group’s many requests leading up to the tour.
The best single aspect during the tour was the quality of the guides in each city. Each was excellent at flexibly accommodating our group’s requests, and in tailoring to the wide needs of our group, from my 74-year-old father down to my 11.5-month-old niece.
If I had to choose one detail of the tour to improve, it would be the hotel in Hangzhou, which compared relatively poorly to the great hotels in Beijing, Huangshan, and Suzhou in terms of room quality. Even so, the breakfast at the Hangzhou hotel was excellent, as was the location.
Overall, we had an extremely memorable trip, and are so happy that three generations could share such a wonderful experience together. My parents have already recommended China Discovery to friends, and I will also be in touch again the next time we visit China and need guide services.
Thank you again for all of your efforts on our behalf for this tour!
Best,
