Hello Tom, What a nice surprise to have this morning! We have a lot of very good memories of our trip to China and have told many of our friends about how enjoyable it was and how well organized. Probably the highlight for both Paul and me was visiting the Great Wall, something we have both wanted to do for many years. I have attached a couple of photos for you. We were watching a TV program called “Hidden China” the other night and saw things we would still like to see – for example the round houses in the tea-province south-west of Shanghai where 10+ families live – so we may also visit again very soon. We have another holiday to look forward to in September when we will be sailing in the Caribbean with some other friends. It will be nice to be in the sunshine again: after the warmth and sunshine of Yichang and Chongqing, arriving back into England where it is quite cold and wet was a shock. Trusting that you are happy and well, Best regards, Debra UK

Dear Carol, While recovering from jet lag we often found ourselves traveling again through China with the many images still floating in our brains. I had never used China travel depot before and didn't know quite what to expect, but after our initial meeting in Shanghai, I felt we were in good hands. You guides and drivers were always punctual and knowledgeable. Our biggest surprise came when we visited a little known city to us, Chongqing, and found a charming metropolis of 30 million people. Our guide went over and above to show us her city and planned outings she thought we would enjoy. She had never been out of Chongqing but her English was excellent and spoke like a native. I appreciate your handling of our travel affairs at each city throughout our journey. The hotels were excellent and comfortable. The breakfasts at the hotels were very good and offered a variety of choice. This was an excellent start since not all the offerings at the pre-planned restaurants were very appetizing. Although all the restaurants appeared clean and efficient, they lacked the local flavor and variety of local specialties that we sought. They were operated mainly for tourists and we had better experiences at local restaurants. I regret we didn't have more time at the Forbidden City. Our guide was anxious to cover everything in the itinerary, but that deserved more time. I also regret not visiting the Ming Tombs which I felt should have been included but not for the lofty sum quoted us. I guess that will be left for our next adventure. The Peking Opera and a Peking Dinner would also have been a good addition to our itinerary. Thank you for all your help and I hope these comments will help the next visitor. Wishing all the best and pleasant travels in the future. Regards, Marianne Pantin UK

Dear Luis, My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves in Beijing and all thanks to the excellent service and facilities provided by China Travel Depot. We were satisfied with the quality and quantity of food provided and the venue for all the other meals. We had some special diet requirements. We were pleased that China Travel Depot was able to made special arrangements for us. If there were only one meal that I like to recommend to my friends or family, it would be the dinners at the Cruise Ship. The foods were simply super! The hotels were quite comfortable and the meals were very good. Our guides had good English skills and they were able to explain and help very capably. I think each guide was happy in their work and proud of your country and their heritage. All guides knew their local areas extremely well and were very passionate about their own local areas. Our favorite guide is the one in Beijing. He was most in tune with what information we wanted and we really enjoyed being with him and he made us feel very comfortable in his company. All the transportation arrangements worked out wonderfully—our flights from Shanghai to Yichang, Chongqin to Xian, Xian to Beijing—all went smoothly and our drives were all pleasant and interesting. It was a trip of a lifetime for us and one that we’re sharing with our friends and family. Thank you. Best Regards, Duncan Sommerville, Ireland

We were impressed by our agent – China Travel Depot, since the first moment we contacted them. They responded to all our emails within 24 hours. That is why we chose them, we knew we could count on them in case some problems would arise in China. Everything went smoothly without any incidents. They gave us everything they promised . We chose Yangtze Cruise Tours Package, and the whole trip was well organized. We started our journey from Beijing, where our agent arranged us the Imperial Beijing Day Trip including Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and Temple of Heaven, then on the next day, we travelled Badaling Great Wall and Ming Tomb ,Beijing is really a city with great history and culture, and following our tour, xi’an gave us the same impression. But our journey along the Yangtze River was a completely different, we were all astonished by its splendid landscape, especially the Three Gorge area, its spectacular scenery even unique in the world. Thank you for arranging such a wonderful holiday we had in your country. Thanks for the considerate arrangement! Timothy from England
