Tour Reviews:

Hello Michael.

Finally I have time to do what I offer you.

First of all: the trip according to your plan, was excellent, Really, we enjoy a lot. And still we are “digesting” what we saw there in all the places visited. In general, the attention of your personal was very good, and in the short time we had, we could see many interesting things. 

Shanghai. Incredible city, with an astonish growth. Beautiful and full of surprised.

The personal you selected, took very good care of us. They were on time for the sightseeing and helpful. The English knowledge of the guide was satisfactory. The Ocean Hotel excellent, very well located and the food is first quality. 

Xi’An or Xian

Jessica took care of us. Excellent guide with very good English. She showed a great knowledge of China and especially of Xian, as a tour guide. About the Aurum Hotel PERFECT! The driver was good and very friendly and the foot massage, Incredible! The Dumpling Dinner and Tang Dynasty Show were excellent.

Beijing, 

As the capital and more important city from China, for us was very impressive.

The guide is not the best of the group, also the driver. We enjoyed all the visits, specially the Temple of Heaven. Really we saw there how Chinese people singing and behave, nice and friendly people. It was an excellent experience for us.

One thing that we enjoy a lot, was to visit the Pearl Market, it was so funny that we went twice, to buy and see. 

Yangze River Cruise

Splendid! As engineers and architects, we enjoy the visit to the fantastic 3 Gorges Project. We learn a lot in the visit. The tour trough the river was delightful and interesting. The boat was good, food and activities were excellent. Still we are discussing about the project, the implications this have in the ecological system and in the thing that are going to be lost for ever when the go under water, but really this is a controversy between the past and the future needs.

Chongqing. Really we enjoy the most those few hours at this beautiful city. The visit to the zoo with the Pandas was unique. The lunch was out of this world, the visits we made to the museum where you can see and buy paintings in a leave, the attention we had from your people, was also excellent. Rest PERFECT. We never forger Chongqing.

Guiling. One of the most beautiful cities I have seen in this world. It is a simple, flowers, cleanliness, people, streets lakes and as we say in my country “STOP TO COUNT”. Were ever you see and go, is beautiful and clean. The passage trough the Li River was really an experience as you say magical beauty of limestone rock formations. At Yangshuo we had contrasting experiences. An excellent show, in the lake, strange things (for us) at the food market, nice people and beautiful city. The trip back to Guilin by road was perfect. It was something special, the visit to the cave of the red flute. It is out of this world. I have no other comment. 

The hotels at Guilin and Yangshuo. Excellent.

Guangzhou. The visit to the Chan Family Temple was really beautiful, the only opposing remark in all the trip, was the guide, restaurant and food at this place. Fortunately was only for few hours. 

Hongkong. Excellent hotel. I have to tell you that the person, that pick us up and take us to the airport, was really on time and agreeable. I was the one that asked you to put me at Hong Kong, but, today I tell you, I will comeback to all cities I visited in China, every time I could, but to Hong Kong only with one visit is sufficient.

Tokyo. Really is interesting and EXPENSIVE. The visit to Kyoto was perfect. The guide Gilbert Ching, was with Jessica (Xian) the best of all. 

All the Chinese Airlines and Japan Airline were EXCELENT. The timing, attention, food and cleanness were first class.

Thanks again for all your help. 

For publishing, you can edit what ever you consider, but the best is that when ever I have to travel again to any place in the world, I will ask you and your company if you can assist me. Again the trip was very well programmed, we were excellent assisted, every thing was better than expected. 

Thanks for the nice, EXCELENT TRIP!
