Remarkable

The local travel specialist was amazing! A friend recommended them, and they went above and beyond my expectations! Unfortunately, my flights changed twice, yet Kimi made sure that I was driven to and from the airport. My guide, Phoebe, was amazing! She was knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and professional. She was virtually a walking encyclopedia! They made my visit remarkable! Thank you!

China was marvelous and China Highlights made it happen

My husband, Dr George Thomas & I have just completed a tour of a few cities in your beautiful country from 15th June to 22nd June. I wished to give you feedback regarding the trip from it's planning to its implementation. 1) Nick Cheng was a pleasure to deal with: Prompt, courteous and so approachable. I called him up many times, sometimes even beyond his official hours, but he was always available for me. I'm impressed by his professionalism, and his customized planning of an excellent holiday where I could enjoy the beauty, as well as, the culture of your great country. I grade him 10/10, a marvelous performance indeed! 2) All three guides, Simon, Susan and Anna were very good representatives of your country & its culture. They were informative without being pushy, respected time, allowed us to enjoy the sights and doubled up as friends & photographers when needed! I have fallen in love with your country because I saw many Chinese people were happy and comfortable with the lives they lead. One week in China was an eye opening experience. I'm amazed & admiring of the changes wrought in the country & would love to visit again, when possible. Regards,
