Testimonial

Hi Sunny, We planned on contacting you to tell you that we enjoyed our trip very much and it far exceeded our expectations! We were a bit apprehensive about the tour since we were not using a travel agent and trusting that China Highlights was legitimate, since everything about your firm was only by way of the internet. This was a big trip for us all and we really didn't really know what to expect in China itself. The best part of our trip which we did not realize from the start was in fact the tour guides and drivers you supplied us. When we arrived in Beijing, Joy was right there with her sign in hand welcoming us to China. As this was really a private tour we became very fond of her and depended on her in everything we did. She took care of us in every detail from translating for us, taking us to all our activities and making sure we were well informed on everything. She was like a mother looking after her children. When we left Beijing we felt like we had left a very close friend. When we arrived in Shanghai we were once again met by Vivaldi. What a fun fellow he was. He took his job very seriously and made himselfnavailable to us 24 hours a day if we wanted. He too took care of us in every way and was very good about trying to teach us the Chinese way and Chinese language. Anything we wanted to do he was willing to do it with us. These two guides treated us like royalty. We will miss them both very much. They both went above & beyond what was required or expected. The other guides we had were wonderful as well, however, our time with them was limited and we didn't get to know them as well as Joy and Vivaldi. The Great Wall: March was probably not the best time to go to China, however, we saw the Great Wall with snow on it and I guess this does not happen very often. It was awsome. The Cruise down the Yantzee: Had no idea how wonderful the suites were on the boat and the scenery and everything that went with the cruise was exceptional. Shopping at the Markets in Beijin, Shanghai and Hong Kong: We enjoyed the bartering for all the treasures we purchased while in China & Hong Kong. HOLLY & VERN EPP

Dear Cheryl, Thank you very much for your help during our trip. We had a fantastic time in your beautiful country! Everything was arranged very well and that made our holiday very easy. I think you will receive our evluation forms from all the guides,but just to let you know the last hotel we staied in Beijing "Travel Inn" in the Hutongs area , was very very good. The room was very clean,with hot water; staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very nice. So,please recommend it for other guests stopping in Beijing! Thanks again, Sara Antinori

Hi Angela, First of all - I was extermely pleased with the everything about the tour. Number one best of all was our guide,Fangfang Hu. She was absolutely perfect. She was kind, courteous, very intellent and knowledgeable about all the places we went. Even though we had seen most sights before, here interest and knowledge made most repeat visits seem like the first time we were there. Thank you for all of your help. Best regards, Paul

Hi Elaine I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful trip to Taishan. It's really a spectaculoar place (although our legs are really sore from walking down the mountain! We are really happy we did it though.) Mary was very nice, very enthusiastic and helpful in all things. Everything really went smoothly with the airline, meeting Mary & our driver, and so forth and we really, really liked the Dai Temple and Puzhaou Temples--maybe a little quiet for some tourists, but so beautiful and peaceful. All our meals were very good and mary and our driver were very accomodating when we wanted to stop and take pictures in town of just everyday life. We had a great time and loved Mt. Tai and I woulod recommend your company and a very professional and trustworthy one. Thanks for everything

Hi Elaine We absolutely enjoyed the tour you organised and really impressed with your guides specially Lemon. Lemon is such a delight and very knowledgeable from history to politics to economy of Shanghai! We really wished we stayed more in Shanghai too. Sam was great company but being a bloke he is a little more quiet. Also, I will forward your details to a friend of mine as he and his family are thinking of going to China sometime next year and I highly recommended your tour. Again thank you for all the effort and warm hospitality from your company. Please send our warm regards to Lemon and Sam. Warm regards Bernice Cowan

Sunny, I was most impressed with the planning and the arrangements. I was pleased that our requests could be accomodated and that the arrangements were flexible. I especially appreciated our guide's (Ding Fang) help with ordering our meals. With our allergies it helped make our trip a healthy one. We have many unforgetable memories. The trip was truly unique.

Good morning Cheryl, Thank you very much for organizing our trip to Guilin last week. We really enjoyed our time with Sissie, she was the perfect tour guide and we wish her all the best for the future. Even though our plane from Hong Kong was two hours late and arrived at 10pm Sissie and the driver Mr Wong were there to meet us with a pleasant smile and good humor while taking us to our hotel. Sissie organized for us to be ready at 8.00am the next morning and took us on the Li River cruise which we all enjoyed (even the lunch on the boat!) We took many photos and videos and met interesting people from all parts of the world. Sissie was a great help when trying to communicate with shop assistants and other people selling souvenirs at the Reed Flute Cave and also at Elephant Hill Park. We all climbed to the top of Fubo Hill and enjoyed the view of Guilin and surrounding districts. Sissie then took us to lunch in a local restaurant where we enjoyed the meal and cold beer and warm Sprite (in Australia all the drinks are served cold – because the weather is mostly hot). Sissie's attention to detail and timing was appreciated when we had to return to the airport 4 hours earlier than our schedule due to a change in flights and also her help in locating the correct people for our new tickets. Sissie made sure we passed through immigration and customs safely before leaving us. We were all very sad to say goodbye to Sissie and would welcome her if she could ever come to Australia for a visit. Thanks Cheryl again for your assistance and for arranging our trip. We had no problems with our communications and you explained everything in our many emails. Payment for the trip via Paypal worked very well and without problems. We will always recommend Chinahighlights to our friends who visit China. Once again many thanks to you and especially Sissie for the wonderful time we had in Guilin.
