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,
You will be picked up at your hotel lobby between 7:00am and 8:00am. Then you will be transferred to Zhujiang Pier. The guide will call or leave you a message the night before your tour to prearrange the meeting time.
9:30 a.m. Relax on the boat and take in the majestic scenery of the Li River. Glide along the water, with the hills and the rugged nature around you on all sides. Enjoy the picturesque landscape, dip your toes into the crystal clear water, see the buffalos swimming or eating water weed in the river, and the fisherman drawing the nets. A Chinese buffet-style lunch will be served on board. (4 hours)
2:00 p.m. Disembark at Yangshuo. Lastly, you will proceed to Yangshuo Market. Then you will be transferred back to your hotel.
Note: Visiting one or two shops or markets is always included in a seat-in-a-coach tour, but you don’t have to buy anything.
