Mr. Bob McEvoy's China Tour Review

| Our clients at Summer Palace, Beijing |
Hello Ivy and Tracy,
We are back in Adelaide and reflecting on our tour of China, which was enjoyable. Everything that was arranged with Chinatouronline worked well, and the guides in each city were able to add extra side tours to make our visit memorable.
The vehicles were great, no breakdown and comfortable and all the drivers were courteous and helpful. We have no communication difficulty at all. All guides were very knowledgeable of the area and history and were very helpful.
Our guide in Beijing, Jason, was the most knowledgeable and helpful; and our guifde in Xi'an, Michael was the most friendly.
We booked the following tours with you or our guides:
Beijing - KungFu (the very best) Acrobats (Excellent) Peking Opera (Excellent)
Xian - Cultural Show - excellent
Guilin - Cultural Show - excellent
Yangshuo Liu Sanjie Impression - unique and breathtaking!
Vehicles were clean and air conditioned throughout our trip. It was always a pleasure to get in the car and all drivers were well behaved and drove responsibly. And all tour guides spoke well and were easy to understand.
All hotels were well appointed in the centre of each city, access to public transport & shops was good.
All meals provided throughout the tour were excellent. In Xi'an the train was late arriving and the hotel provided breakfast for us even though we arrived very late. We enjoyed a good range of food, all enjoyable and the waiters and waitresses always entertain us politely with great thoughtfulness. We are Very difficult to select out one for the best food we have enjoyed, but dinner at our last restaurant in Beijing was possibly the best.
In some hotels the air conditioning did not work well. We reported it to the hotel staff and they handled the case accordingly and very efficiently. Our hotel in Guilin ( the Universal Hotel) was exceptional and well situated on the Li River and near the centre of action in the city.
Thanks again for the wonderful tour arranged by CTO !

Miss. Nelia Soares Doenges's China Tour Review
Dear Chinatouronline,
The vehicles are clean and tidy with air-conditioners during the whole trip, and they were great and no problems during the whole tour.
The drivers were excellent and the guides went above and beyond to take care of us to ensure that everything is going smoothly. I have had many tour guides before and I must say they were the best and they spoke great English.
The restaurants and hotels in our trip are no problems and I have to say that they are all great and I had a great time at all hotels.
The persons I would like to praise are Jason and Mr Chan, (our driver in beijing), their service were outstanding. Our tour guide in Xian was also wonderful. Very patient and knowledgeable and with great personalities.

Mr. George Robertson & Mrs Helga Marianne Robertso's China Tour Review

Dear Tracy,
My wife and I would like to thank you for the superb holiday you recently organised for us and for all the hardwork you put in to ensure that it was such a great success. I am particularly grateful for your patience over the problems of transferring payment to China. We were especially delighted to meet you in Xian and be able to thank you personally; if you have an opportunity we would very much appreciate it if you could email copies of the photographs you took that evening.
We had a marvelous time and found China to be a fascinating country with a wonderful cultural heritage. All our guides and drivers were absolutely great and could not do enough to make our stay such a success. Indeed everyone we came into contact with went out of their way to make us welcome.
Thank you once again, and if we are ever lucky enough to come back to China we shall certainly make use of your company.

Mike & Denise Fuller-Lewis's China Tour Review
Dear Tracy, Ivy and colleagues,
Many thanks for organizing our wonderful China holiday.
We were a little anxious at first dealing with an unknown company over the net and cable transferring the full payment amount before departure. It all depended on trust, a trust that was well justified C you never let us down once.
Of course different tourists like different things but for us the far outstanding segment was our visit to the Datong area. The grottoes, the Huayan Monastery, The hanging monastery, the wooden Pagoda and of course the magical ancient city of Pingyao, not to mention the spectacular Wang family courtyard were all breathtakingly beautiful. Our excellent local guide (Jellie) and ever polite driver made it all the more enjoyable.
Perhaps the most unexpected customer service was to find our guide waiting us on the train platform exactly at our car number. That was most reassuring.
All guides took great care of us at all times.
Our rather confusing family name caused confusion with the airline booking.1. First name 2. middle name 3. family name
1. Denise 2. Jennifer 3. Fuller-Lewis (the middle name is rarely used).
The plane tickets were booked as Denise Jenniferful & Mike Jenniferful. The guides sorted confusion out at check in. At one airport we arrived too early for check-in and insisted our guide leave us. We then had terrible trouble checking in and had to see a senior supervisor before we could resolve the name problem.
However it was a wonderful holiday and we would thoroughly recommend you to others who wish to travel in China!
