Ms. Banerjee's China Tour Review
Dear Ivy Lu and Tracy Liu,
Thank you for organizing the wonderful trip for us in China. All of us had a wonderful time with you and thoroughly enjoyed all the cultural shows there. The hotel accommodations and services were also very good.
My only worry is the vegetarian food for my future trips. Unfortunately the vegetarian people are not at all flexible where food is concerned and that makes it more difficult for the organizers to arrange for their food !
For the rest of us the food was simply delicious and there was such a variety too ! Thank you for all the trouble you took.
My guides everywhere tried their best to help with this vegetarian food problem and so we somehow managed that side.
Our tour vehicles and the drivers were very good. We got our two bottles of mineral water each day free.
Unlike my previous experience, I found that the guides here did not try to push us to buy things from the factories or shops. They did not trouble us.
I would like to say a special word for our guide in Shanghai, Jessica. She was the best and I wish to definitely have her for my next visit. Lena in Xian was also good and so was Michael while Li in Guilin was a nervous lady and tried her best to satisfy us. On the whole they were all good, with Jessica the best.
Before taking another group I am now wanting to visit China with my husband because I liked your beautiful country so much. My husband will also like the picturesque country and enjoy all the lovely meals too.
Thanks for everything.

Dear Ivy,
Our China tour was one of the best vacations we have ever had. The tour guides, locations, transportation arrangements, hotels, restaurants, various shows such as Peking Opera, Tang dynasty and Shanghai acrobat show and yangtze cruise were top class. We also got the best value for money during our shopping trips. The quality and level of service offered by China Tour online exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back to continue our China tour to other destinations in the near future.
Since we were a group size of 8 we were not sure about the size of the tour vehicles. After arriving in Beijing, we were pleasantly surprised to see a mini van which could comfortably seat 20 people. In fact all the locations had a similar van which made it very comfortable with plenty of space to keep our baggage. All the vehicles provided during the various trips were very clean and had good air conditioning.
All the drivers were wonderful and polite. They drove safely and we did not come across any problems at all. The drivers had limited knowledge of English, but it was never a problem. We had brief conversations with them wherever possible. All of them were very prompt and punctual.
It is worth mentioning that all our tour guides spoke excellent English and we had no problems with communication. They had excellent knowledge of Chinese culture and history and could answer all of our questions. They were very friendly and we would have long conversations during the drive on various topics. We got to know them better during these conversations and it was a good experience. It would be difficult to single out one particular guide. Nevertheless, we would like to mention a special word of thanks especially to Mr. Liu (Beijing), Ms Chen (Xian), Ms Judy (Chongqing), Ms Linda (Yichang) and Mr. Jack (Shanghai) who made our trip very memorable. They gave us detailed explanations in response to our questions on Chinese history, culture and also on various other issues concerning China which were of interest to us. They were very polite, cheerful, courteous and very friendly. The english language spoken by the guides , especially Mr. Liu (Beijing) and Mr. Jack (Shanghai) was of very high standard. The Peking duck lunch was our favourite meal during the entire trip. Our kids also enjoyed the interactions with the tour guides. The arrangements were very also flexible and according to our requirements. Mr. Liu , our guide from Beijing who was the best among all the guides for his attention to detail and accommodating and polite nature. He was also very friendly with kids. Even our guide from Xian (Ms Coco) was excellent and very friendly with the kids.
The hotels and restaurants were excellent and of high quality. The day we landed in Beijing, we had talked to the guide specifically about our diet requirements and that we had no problem in eating vegetables, fish, chicken, beef, lamb and duck and all other meat had to be avoided. Thereafter, we had given specific requests on similar lines to all the guides. We loved Chinese food and the menu was varied and tasty. The hotels were excellent – Prime hotel in Beijing had the best location since it was close to Wanfujing street. Huating tower in Shanghai was the most comfortable since it had very large rooms. The best hotel for comfort and breakfast was Huating towers in Shanghai. The best hotel for location was Prime Hotel in Beijing. Overall, all the hotels were tidy, comfortable and offered excellent service.
Since we had given clear instructions regarding our food requirements, the guides did a very good job in selecting the menu. All the guides checked at our table during the meals to ensure that the food was OK. The quantity of food was more than adequate There were no problems with any of the waiters or waitresses, all of them were polite. All restaurants were generally clean. The best restaurant was in Beijing, where we had Peking duck. The dumpling banquet in Xian was also excellent. We were served with two glasses of beer and unlimited tea, which was really wonderful. We were able to sample varied cuisine , quite different from the Chinese food which we are used to having in our country.
Our favorite part of the trip were our visits to the Great Wall in Badaling, Beijing and the Xian fort wall , where we took a bicycle ride with our kids covering almost 14 kms. The bicycle ride was thrilling for the kids. The Yangtze cruise was also very relaxing and enjoyable. We made lots of friends on the tour boat and so did the kids. The Chinese people were very friendly and they love kids. In many places , we were requested to pose with them for photographs and we happily obliged. We were very comfortable in China. All the streets and roads were very clean and green.
I would like to thank Ms Ivy for the excellent communication and follow up in finalizing the tour and providing us with detailed itinerary which was very clear and gave an accurate description of the tour schedule. Every aspect of the trip was properly planned and organized well. All the guides were excellent and the hotels and restaurants were top class. We did not have to worry about anything and could enjoy the tour.Thank you very much for your wonderful service and attention to detail which made it a memorable trip for us. We will definitely recommend CTO to our friends and will be back in China very soon.
