One Aussie took a trouble-free tour in China from March 23 to April 3, 2005

Dear Ricky:
Yes, I arrived home safe and sound last evening after a wonderful holiday in China.
I wish to thank you for your excellent service and attention, and to let you know that the trip was most enjoyable and trouble-free. All arrangements went well and made the holiday so much more enjoyable. The tour guides and drivers were all courteous and friendly, and very efficient. The hotels were clean and comfortable and offered very good service.
I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone contemplating a tour to China.
The following notes may assist you:
Guang Yun Hotel, Beijing -- a little out of the way, not near good public transport, and hiring a taxi there was not always easy. No staff speak English. There is no internet access in the hotel"s business centre or nearby. Otherwise, very good accommodation.
Dejuyuan Guesthouse, Pingyao -- a delightful experience!
City Hotel, Xian -- very conveniently located in heart of the city. No English-speaking staff. No internet access at hotel business centre, but a good internet cafe nearby. Very good accommodation.
Zhong Ya Hotel, Shanghai -- excellent location next to Metro station; adequate English spoken; internet access available in hotel business centre; good restaurants. The best value accommodation of the trip.
Can I also add that the service of being met at airport/railway and helped to book into hotel is to be highly recommended. Especially when English language is a problem, the guide is able to assist and see that one is happily settled in. Similarly departures. I doubt if a foreigner could possibly find their own way at Beijing Railway station!!
So thank you again for your services! At this stage I am thinking about returning in 2010 when Shanghai hosts the World Expo there!
Cheers
