Hi Vivien,
Thank you so very much for organizing this tour for us. We thoroughly enjoyed it. I received the Pada Bear soft toy gift that you had left for us with the receptionist. It was such a sweet gesture from you. I loved it. Thank you very much for all you did for us. I enjoyed the trip very much. I will refer your company to my friends who would wish to visit China in the future.
Kind regards,

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!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Ho

Dear Riley,
We were very happy on your boat President 8, together with our Chines friend Aries Tu who booked the same boat later for herself and her grandmother.
Your organisation and food and tours were excellent. Thank you. And that we were together with a group from Austria at the same table was wise and made us new friends.
We updated our room in the 6 th top floor. On the boat Nina took care of us. She was very friendly and always helpful towards us.
At the moment, we enjoy the last days in Phuket before going home tomorrow.
Best regards an thanks again

Yes, the cruise on the Victoria Katarina went very well. The boat was well maintained (looked in better condition than the Yangtze Gold 5, & 6), the food was more than adequate, the tours arrangements went smoothly.
Thank you for thoughtfully putting me in the English speaking group for meals, as my Mandarin is woefully inadequate.

Hi Wonder,
Thanks for your message. We are slowly getting back into our normal routine, hence the delayed reply.
The cruise was fantastic. Definitely a highlight of our three weeks in China.
Find my feedback to your questions below:
1) We were extremely impressed with the service provided to us. Our travel consultants handled all queries in an efficient and professional manner. They were quick to answer questions, and any concerns were addressed in a prompt manner.
2) The cruise was very good. The Century Paragon ship was clean and well maintained. The cruise manager, Jeffrey, had a fantastic sense of humour and glowing personality. The staff throughout the ship were friendly and attentive. The post-dinner events each night were entertaining. The shore excursions were interesting. It was helpful having tour guides communicating with us in English, however some of the guides were less than confident in their English-speaking abilities, and we did not get the same information that was being given to the Mandarin speaking guests. The cruise photographers were able to capture a lot of good memories.
3) I would not hesitate to recommend your company to friends and family. The
service provided was friendly, helpful, and of a high standard.
Kind regards

Thanks a lot for your precious assistance.
The cruise trip was excellent, included the additional excursions and the final

The boat was high-class as well as its lovely staff, headed by Molly (or so),
always gentle and available.
Soon I will send you some of a multitude of pictures I have taken along the
way.
I have already recommended this experience to several persons and will continue
doing it.
As for me, in a couple of years I could make a tour of southern China, Hong
Kong and Macao included.
This could be an occasion to get in touch with you again for some other tour

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 Lily,
I am back in Australia after my Sanctuary Yangtse Explorer cruise with my sister-in-law from England.
All the arrangements went very smoothly, many thanks, and we very much enjoyed our cruise.
I was particularly impressed with the guides on our various tours, especially the young lady in Fuling, who struggled with her English, (so much better than my Chinese!) but had the courage to continue, and put all her effort into giving us a genuine insight into her city. She, and the other young ladies, were lovely. We had many helpful experiences from people during our brief time in China, which is much appreciated when trying to learn a new country.
If I plan another tour in China in future, I will be in contact again,

Speaking about the staff on board the boat, they were just great. Friendly and always helpful.
Because of the booking situation on board we were offered an upgrade to the explorer suite, and we took it. Awesome. The food was really nice, no problems at all for us westerners, whatsoever.
Overall this was a great experience which we recommend without any restrictions.
