Hi Grace,

We are back home and yes we very much enjoyed our China vacation. See responses below.

1. For our family, we enjoyed the Great Wall, and the Li River and karst mountains.  We always knew China had famous temples and palaces, but the natural beauty of these 2 favorites was a WOW factor for us.

2. For the guide, Linda was absolutely outstanding. We feel like we had a relationship with her (joking, discussions about families, photo sharing).

3. As per the hotel, Sofitel Xian on Renmin Square #1, Harbor Grand in Hong Kong # 2, Red Wall Garden Hotel in Beijing #3, Yangshuo Mt Retreat #4, Sheraton Guilin #5, Holliday  Inn , # 6.Yangshuo was not very good.

4. We enjoyed mixing it up between air and train.  No suggestions for improvement.

5. For the suggestions of the not-to-be-missed attractions, biking, rafting along Li River, cooking class and Great Wall hike were our WOW favorites. Snack Street in Beijing was a favorite for our adult children. The dinner buffet at the Harbor Grand was pretty good. 

We thought about it and wanted to add that the tours included a perfect balance between tour time and personal time.For our family we enjoy a sense of humor and this is why we enjoyed Linda so much.

Tips for future tours: In Xian Kenneth was good but we all had difficulty hearing him. He did a lot of his talking from the front seat of the van and we were in the back. It was okay. We used Internet searches to find out about the terra cotta warriors.  But this might bother future customers. Still enjoyed our time in Xian.Actually we really enjoyed the Terra Cotta Warriors. Tea tasting, city wall bike tour and Big Wild Goose! These were still all WOW do not miss attractions for us.

"We recommend that you customize a private Hong Kong Tour based on your interests and requests!"

The ancient towns in Guilin - not too enjoyable for our family.Perhaps it was too hot in June.

Absolutely we will recommend you. We already did recommend you to others.

Norman & Joyce from the US customized a Hong Kong Tour to Beijing Xian Chengdu Guilin and Shenzhen with private guides and vehicles, well-selected hotels, top attractions, interesting activities, etc.
