Testimonial

Dear Clare, We are now in Hong Kong, and have completed the China portion of our trip. We have had a WONDERFUL trip, and we thank you so very much for making the arrangements for us. Everything worked very smoothly, and all the hotels, etc. were completely satisfactory. We will write again when we are back in the US. When we were in Chongqing, the guide was very helpful to us, and even took us toa grocery store to get a few things before we got on the boat. I wanted to give her some money (perhaps for her to buy dinner for herself). ...So please tell your people in Chongqing to tell the guide that we thought she did a very good job for us. Thanks once again,

Dear Angela Gong, After a long trip to Asia-- first China and then onto India-- we have returned to the states. My parents and I want to thank you for arranging 3 wonderful city tours (January 16-18) for us in Beijing. Also, please extend our thanks to Thomas who was our guide to Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City; Matthew who was our guide to The Great Wall and the Ming Tombs; and Sarah who guided us through the Hutong. And to Lou was kind enough to pick us up at the hotel at 4:00 a.m. in the morning and drop us off at the airport on the 19th. We hope to visit China again sometime in the near future. And perhaps we will make the trip to Xian. All the best A Mohan

Hi Elaine, Sorry I've been so long. First I must say that I very much enjoyed the tour you arranged for me so quickly. I was a bit worried at the start, when I had no itinerary and no official receipt and only a ticket from Beijing to Xi'an in exchange for my 13,000 yuan or whatever it was, but after I had persuaded the hotel to take me in everything was fine. The tour guides arrived and the tickets arrived at each hotel and I found all the places very interesting, especially Guilin, where the guide was particularly good. I shall get in touch with you again next time I'm in China, which should be fairly soon. At present I'm in HK and off tomorrow to see some other countries in the region.

Dear Clare, Here we are back at home after our fantastic trip to China. Thank you so much for doing all the organisation and making the holiday so memorable for us. We saw everything we wished for and were able to enjoy the travelling as well as all the sights. Our guides were all very different characters and all great! Tiu in Beijing gave us a wonderful introduction to the Chinese people as well as to the sights. He was engaging and amusing as well as knowledgeable. It would be difficult to name one experience in Beijing as the best but we will never forget struggling along the Great Wall with people from all over the world. Clare, our Yangtze guide,was serious, thoghtful, kind and helpful. I felt she had a particularly difficult task as she was travelling with us on the boat and eating meals with us as well as being our personal guide.She was consistantly polite and helpful, clearly took her work seriously and was wonderful company. I felt we got to know each other well and parted as friends. I was so pleased that we were able to see the Yangtze, particularly the Little Gorges before the first big innundation next year. In Xian, Lynn really contributed to our enjoyment. She was proud of her region, it's history and heritage and communicated her enthusiasm to us.What sights she was able to take us to! The Terracotta Army was astonishing. I find it difficult to put my feelings about it into words but we have the pictures, both real and in our heads, to remind us.Sean loved the birthday present that she chose for him - a bronze wine cup. Finally Annie in Shanghai was able to show us some of a modern city - mostly in the rain! That did not dampen our - or her - enthusiasm! The Jade Buddah temple was lovely and I particularly enjoyed the tranquility of the Yu Gardens. Hongkong was a good last stop on the tour. It felt more like a European city and helped us re-acclimatise for home. It was easy to make our way around without a guide and we used the brief time we had there very well, and even managed to take a trip to Kowloon on the Star ferry. I must also mention the travelling between the various locations. All the fights were fine and we found the bus journey from Wuhan to Sashi particularly fascinating.The guides for the transfers here and in Chongqing were also helpful. You will see from this email that we loved it all and, despite Sean having come back with a Chinese virus(!), have already recommended this personal tour arrangement to friends. I will send our evaluation sheets by post. Please pass on our best wishes and comments to all our guides and thank you once again for all your efforts on our behalf. Very best wishes, Sandy Boyle

Dear Angela, I would like to thank you very much for your help in tracing our money. Your assistance during our tour has been the most precious to us and be sure we will use your service any time we are coming to China in the future. It is the most unusual and pleasant surprise to have come across to so honest and responsible person as Mr, Liyong and his fellow workers and superiors. I would like to thank him directly and personally and to give my words of appreciation to the Habour Plaze Hotel direction, for their professional and trustworthy personnel. I will write an official letter next week also to your company and to the Hotel direction to express my feeling. I would like that the10% of the found amount is paid to Mr. Liyong for a reward, as we are used to do in Italy. Therefore please deduct the amount due to Mr. Liyong from the money you are going to remit to our representative Mr. Charles Tang, in Hong Kong. This simple episode has fortified in me the love for your marvelous country, made of beautiful cities and unique landscapes, but most of all by the most wonderful people that I have ever met. Thank you again Carla Delfino

Dear Aileen, Thank you for arranging a wonderful trip for Hyang Chung and me. We really enjoyed our time in China and have "spread the word" among our friends of the new China. We found it fascinating from both a cultural and economic viewpoint. I was surprised by how misconceptions I, an educated and well read physician, had about your country. We particularly enjoyed our tour guides. I would especially like to commend Li Ann in Xian, Stephen in Kunming and Xing in Shanghai. Although all the guides were excellent. In addition, our accommodations and service from guides and tours were excellent. I especially appreciated their interest in getting us to the planes and trains on time and on board safely. Feel free to use my name and have individuals email me if they desire any recommendations of CITS. Thanks again.

Dear Clare Mo, The money has arrived, we thank you very much for your taking care. Let us repeat, that we had a wonderful trip perfectly organized from your staff. We will recommend your company very warmly. Wish you a happy New Year.

Hello Clare, We are sorry it has taken so long to send the evaluation letter back to you after our trip. Let us say that we had a fantastic trip. It was even better than we had hoped for. We want to thank you for all of your help planning the trip and making sure that all the details were taken care of for us. The professionalism of CITS, yourself, and our two guides, Ken: in Xi?n and Jasmine: in Dunhuang, could not be better. When we return to China, CITS on-line will be our first stop. And we will recommend CITS and yourself; to everyone we come in contact with who is planning a trip to China. You are the Best! With my highest regards, Mark Ketter & Jim Simmons from Seattle,Washington USA Travel Xian, Dunhuang

Dear Jing Ji-Ping, It is with the greatest pleasure that I write to you about Clare Mo, a Sales and Marketing specialist in the Guilin office of CITS. In February, 2002, when my sister and I began planning our trip to China, we found your website on the internet.It was very interesting and offered some unusual and interesting options that we found attractive.When I sent an email to your travel service with my enquiries about these trips, I was fortunate indeed to make contact with Clare Mo.She answered my questions quickly and efficiently, as she did the many emails that I subsequently sent to her.In these emails she was personable and extremely helpful in every way. In short, the excellent quality of her work with my sister and me convinced us that we should definitely let her arrange our entire trip to China. And what a wonderful trip it was! Clare arranged every aspect of this holiday and it went perfectly, with every detail in place. In fact and with only three days notice, she arranged another two-day trip for a friend and me to tour Beijing and its environs. I just wanted to share with you that Clare Mo is a wonderful asset to and representative for your company. She is everything that a tourist wants in a travel agent! In fact, I fully intend to ask her to arrange all of my future trips to China and also those of all of my friends. In one email, I asked her if something I wanted to do was possible and she replied, "All things are possible!" Congratulations on having her on your staff! Most sincerely, Rosemary Platt from USA Travelling Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Shanghai

Hi Angela, We had a wonderful trip to China--everything worked like clock work. It was a pleasure doing business with your agency. All arrangements were executed flawlessly. We were very satisfied with the flights, hotels, tour guides and the drivers. We were able to visit the monuments and liked the factory visits--it was extremely reassuring to know that all products we purchased at the factories were guaranteed and authentic. Your tour guides and drivers were extremely courteous, professional and accommodating ensuring we had the best trip possible.We felt at home although we were in a country where we did not speak the language. We highly recommend your agency and the tours to anyone visiting China.The Tang Dynasty show was extremely colorful and entertaining. We felt we got the most out of our trip due to your recommendations for the short time we spent in each city.
