Excellent
Excellent!!The service delivered for our tour of China exceeded our expectations. We say that as we added additional days before and after the programmed tour. All the guides were excellent and oversaw all our check ins for hotels, flights and train journeys.
Very impressed
My husband and I were both very impressed with all arrangements on our tour of China. The guides were all really helpful and knowledgeable, and made everything run smoothly - not easy when there were so many planes and trains involved. Thanks particularly to LJ in Guilin who arranged for some ginger tea to be made by the hotel when my husband was ill. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and have come home feeling we have a much better understanding of this huge and fascinating country.
