Hi Julia, Well, the time in China went so quickly. We returned home, taking so many nice photos as well as some enjoyable experiences along with us. You will get the pictures as always that we will send you later. Thank you for your assistance & thank you to the people (tour guides) who showed us the different cities & sites & also the drivers. If I had to complain about anything, it would have to be the beds, not as soft as ours. I have filled out the individual city evaluations for your staff and maybe it is helpful to you. Some of the sights we saw were fantastic. For instance, the old part of Xian and Beijing were far more interesting & would have loved to spend more time there. The trip by rail was not an experience as airways and I have flown with them many years ago and not much has changed. My wife is in second thoughts of returning. I’m hoping to persuade her to try a trip in Hong Kong, 10 days was not really enough for enjoy the whole China, but enough for a memorable holiday! Regards, Malvin & Kim Whyte USA

Dear Luis, Thank you for your email! We had a great trip to China, thank you for the organization in each place we stayed. Guilin was beautiful, everything went really well even though the weather was not so good. The hotel on the first night, the Osmathus hotel, we had to ask Paul the tourist guide to change our rooms as there was damp visible on the walls and the rooms smelt really bad. Once the rooms were swapped over everything was fine. Paul was our favourite tourist guide out of the 3 that we had, he made the children laugh with his jokes and was always recommending other/extra things for us to do. When we got to Hong Kong, after our 11 hour journey on the train overnight, we were all obviously very tired and needed showers and to freshen up. The tourist guide took us straight on our tour and i had to tell her later that we needed to have lunch and that we wanted western food, she then took us to a Hainanese chicken rice place which was awful, not our idea of western food at all. Personally i was not impressed with the tourist guide in Hong Kong at all. She took us to the train station to get our train back to Guangzhou and just waved us goodbye without making sure we were on the right train or not, very poor, even though the others gave her a tip because we felt like we should. Overall we have fond memories of our trip to China and if coming again would definitely send you an email to get a quote from you. Thanks again, Jo Cooper South Africa

Dear Luis, Firstly let me thank you and your group for an excellent holiday - please feel free to put the photo on your website with my email address and you can add the following comment. Being able to customize our tour at several points made it wonderful, as well as being picked up at the end of some of our long walks, instead of having to walk way back to a car. The sights included in our Beijing and Xian tours were spectacular, the hotels lovely, have a private guide to ask all kinds of questions of was the best part! Our guides were very professional and provided us with an excellent service during our stays in China. We had fantastic guides in Beijing and Xian, and learnt lots of information about your cultural sites and general information about your country. And all drivers had a good attitude and all vehicles were clean. We also enjoyed most of the meals, especially the ones we were able to help select the dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed each day!! Thank you so much!! Best Regards, Martin Banwell, U. S. A.

Dear Carol, Thank you for arranging our tours in China. We had a wonderful trip. The guide you assigned in Guilin was especially good, he was extremely helpful in suggesting things to do in our free time, to point out restaurants we might like, and to provide a lot of information about the area and history; he was definitely an outstanding guide for us. while the one in Guangzhou not so good. Now some other specifics during our tour in China: 1. Meals: The meals in Guilin were very good; we especially liked the meal in Longsheng and would recommend that restaurant; the service in Guilin was always good. 2. Drivers & Cars: The drivers were all very pleasant, especially the one in Guilin. Their cars were very clean. 3. Hotels: The hotels met our expectations and the breakfasts were very good. We had no complaints about the hotels. We will recommend China Travel Depot to any of our friends traveling to China and will use you again should we have future travel to China. Thank you again.
