Victoria Sabrina Cruise Ship

Dear Reya,

We are back from our cruise and would like to sincerely thank you for the perfect organization of the trip! Everything went wonderfully—the journey was a complete success, and we enjoyed every minute. We will gladly reach out to you again as soon as our next vacation planning begins.

Warm regards,

Birgit and Michael

Wonder

That all seems very reasonable.

Please proceed.

If you are able to itemise those cost for us please it would be appreciated, as we will need to justify it all to our insurers.

For your information, the Yangtze River Cruise people were fantastic, and assisted us in ways that went beyond their duty. The lady that first went with us, I’m sorry but I can’t remember her name, I seem to recall she was head of Food and Catering (?), was just marvellous. Can you please pass on our huge gratitude to them on our behalf.

I am recovering back home. There are a few post- operation issues that I am dealing with but expect a full recovery.

Thank you for your efficiency and understanding of the unpleasant situation we found ourselves in.

According to Mr & Mrs Turner the Yangtze River cruise was an absolute highlight - and Helen and I missed it!! Oh well, perhaps another visit to China is required to take care of that. We know who to contact if we do decide to come back!

Take care

Eldon

Wonder.

We have just arrived in New Zealand, very tired, and Eldon is recovering well, but with some minor post-operation issues to deal with.

When we have caught up on sleep, and started to get some normality back into our lives, we will address the issues you have detailed.

Thank you so much for your efficiency and thoroughness throughout, from planning to dealing with Eldon’s issues.

It could be a few days before we respond.

We must also comment on the amazing guides and staff you selected throughout.

A job well done, Wonder.

Until we next correspond.

Regards

Eldon and Helen

Hi Elk,

You are very kind, and I'll certainly be recommending you to anyone we know who is traveling to China! I've left a 5 star review on TripAdvisor also!

We really enjoyed the cruise and found it very relaxing and interesting. The rooms were really clean and comfortable, and the food was surprisingly good and varied. Some of the earlier excursions we found a little boring (we had already seen a lot of temples at that point) but the top of the Three Gorges and the trip up the smaller gorge was great!

Dear Shirley,

The Cruise was amazing. Everything was well organized. The staff on the ship was very friendly, helpful and everyone spoke good English. We will definitely recommend the trip to our friends and family.

Also the cabin was very nice and clean. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Best regards,

Robert

Thank you Elk.

We really enjoyed our experience and can highly recommend to future guests. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Jack,

“We are very impressed with China Discovery. They are a very reputable company as we found out. Our 22 day trip in China was amazing. Our travel consultant Jack Li arranged everything for us. He was great and kept in contact when necessary. We are very appreciative of his help from the beginning to the end of our planning and trip. Everything ran smoothly as per transportation, guides, meals and excellent hotels and attractions. It was a wonderful experience for the two of us through our China Discovery private tour. All our bucket list destinations were met. We enjoyed comfort on speed trains, airplane, cruise ship, boat, vans and cars. The guides spoke English well and were very informative and had pleasing personalities. Food was tasty and many choices available to try. The hotels were top notch and with great service. The attractions and daily sight-seeing was incredible. Again we would like to thank Mr. Jack Li for his welcome to China gifts he gave us when in Chengdu. This was our once in a lifetime trip to China and it truly met all our expectations and more. The rating would be 10/10 for sure. Thank you!”

Don and Sharon

Dear Jack,

Don and I want to thank you so much for arranging this wonderful tour for us. Everything has been fantastic! A big thank you for the gifts today! The Chinese chopsticks set, the Panda Player ornament, the Panda magnet, the Hand Drawings of Chengdu and the Panda postcard with your kind words are all so lovely and meaningful for us. We will treasure them. Many many thanks!

We are so impressed with China! The accommodations, the food, and the chosen sites for us to see are amazing! We will tell our family and friends to come to China and use China Discovery!

Take Care

Dear Tracy,

Hi, Jack

We had a great time on the cruise. Luckily we had chance to go to Chongqing to see the train through building and the night lights of Chongqing. We really enjoyed the FengYanShanGuo show. It was amazing.

Thanks.

Dear April,

We are home after the trip of a lifetime and whilst Kathy as the lead will send in the feedback form, I just wanted to say a BIG Thank You to you personally, and of course your team, for organising and arranging our tour which went seamlessly, and exactly to the plan you put together.

The tour guides were brilliant as were the drivers, and you were always available with prompt responses when needed.

We will certainly be recommending China Discovery to our friends, and are already thinking about our next trip to China.

谢谢

Hi Tracy:

I finally recovered from the long flights and the 12 hour-time difference with Florida. I first of all would like to thank you for such a great job before and during my trip. You answered all of my questions and gave me peace of mind since I was traveling all by myself so far away from home. Alipay was a great suggestion because it not only helped with paying for just about anything but also kept us in touch throughout my trip with their chat feature. The trip you put together for me was exceptional, and along with some of the optional tours we added, and the cruise ship you picked made for a superb experience.

The hotels were very good, well located and clean, I was just a bit disappointed that most of the staff in the majority of hotels, even at the front desk, didn't speak English, but I was able to communicate through translation apps. The guides were excellent, their English was very good, they were very knowledgeable, attentive, flexible, and very helpful; what I'm very thankful for is that whenever I had train rides they helped me all the way into the train car, with my luggage and finding my seat, that meant a lot because without knowing Chinese I surely would have missed the train or gotten into the wrong one, they also gave me instructions as which way to go once I arrived to my destination to meet the guide. I particularly enjoyed Linda, Kenny, the guide in Chongqing, and Eileen. The vehicles and drivers were also very good.

The cruise ship couldn't have been better, the staff and local guides with the exception of the very last one (I already contacted the cruise ship regarding this issue) were friendly and very very nice. There were very few non Chinese-speaking passengers and I felt that the cruise director made sure to take care of us at all times. They had shows, optional tours and activities that I enjoyed thoroughly.

The only flaw was the last night in Xi'an, the Airport Hotel was actually NOT within walking distance so I needed to take a shuttle which was provided by the hotel and had a little difficulty communicating with the driver to give him the instructions as to where I needed to be dropped off, but I made it!!!

I will be glad to recommend your company. I loved my China trip and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't think twice about contacting you and China Discovery!!!! Well done Tracy!

Best regards

Celica

Hi Rita,

Hi Wonder,

The trip has been fabulous

Dear Jack, our trip isn't over yet, but I wanted to thank you for making it possible. It has been a very interesting trip and the big difference was made by the great Victoria Sabrina. Excellent service, very friendly crew, very good English and everything has been great. This is also what I think of your work, thank you very much and we will recommend and continue to use your services in the future. We appreciate your work.

Hello Echo,

We had an very good tour in Chongqing and on The Victoria Sabrina. The cruise company did an excellent job.  The cabin was very nice, the food was very good, and the staff took great care of us.  We were the only two westerners on the boat, and all the staff made sure we were comfortable at all times. The even arranged for a private rout guide for the two of us at one of the sites.

I don't know about the other cruise companies, but the staff on the Victoria Sabrina speak very good to fluent English, which made it very easy for us.

I have also attached a copy of the survey you requested.

Hi Wendy, it was good

The weather didn't help but the cruise and the crew were really nice I can send you some pictures later.
