Hello Grace,

We were very pleased with our trip and I have been impressed by how responsive you are and were in our communications before our trip. Thank you so much.

It’s hard to choose the most memorable attraction between the Great wall, Li River and Huangshan. We were very lucky I think as the day we visited the Great wall there were few tourists and blue sky and we were able to walk for a couple hours on the wall as far as allowed which was wonderful.  Li River and Huangshan are astoundingly beautiful as you know.

Our guide William in Beijing was our favorite. Very knowledgeable, told us the most information about history and different areas but also very earnest and likable. Irene (in Guilin) and Ting (Shanghai) were also excellent. ( least favorite was Libby in Huangshan, she was competent, but less interested in telling us info about where we were, also small things like not turning around to face us while talking to us in the car - all the other guides did turn around, so hard to hear her etc. She was fine but not fabulous).

All hotels were great. We loved the location and feel of the Beijing Red Wall Garden Hotel, especially the courtyard and breakfasts. Did have a bad smell in our room there but would stay there again gladly. Our favorite probably the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat as we were constantly wowed by the view outside our window and balcony.

For the suggestions to other travelers, don't miss the biking in Yangshuo. We were not so thrilled with the impressions show at Guilin although it was indeed impressive. One tip is for Huangshan; need to have a backpack or bag that you are able to "hike” with for a while that you can pack for overnight. We had that, so no problem for us. Loved the acrobat show in Beijing that William recommended and arranged for us.

The Wow factor in our tour is the bike ride in Yangshuo. Wish it could have been longer. Great to be so close to the river, mountains, rice paddies, water buffalo and small towns. Irene our Guilin guide was tireless, kind and great. Other wows: Li River cruise, Huangshan, and Great wall.   

We have already recommended your company to friends and have lots of travelling friends!

Thanks Grace.

Best Regards,
