Chris Wright: SG-01 China Express November 2009
|
|
| |
|
"We had a great time... the balance of activities was good - we appreciated the free time to do our own thing and the smooth booking for all flights, trains and hotels (which gave us more time to enjoy China compared to other travelers we met who spent much of their time negotiating travel, permits and the like!) Personal page on website was a very nice touch. Even though we booked late, Chris was very helpful and sorted out everything quickly - excellent customer service."
|
|
| |
|
We add: Thanks Chris for the feedback regarding your China Express trip. Our Chris has just come back from a month long research trip which was mainly pre-arranged but had a few sections on the fly and can vouch for the benefits of having services pre-booked in China as it isn't always simple to make arrangements on the spot at all!

Lori & Rob Marjerison: Tailor Made Tibet trip October 2009
|
|
| |
|
"We had an excellent trip with good support in considering many options we had open for this itinerary. Everything went according to plan (as on prior trip with you). The Guides were excellent, very helpful, informative and took care of all the local details for us. As you know, this was our 2nd trip with The China Travel Company and we are very pleased and are more than happy to recommend you to others."
|
|
| |
|
We add: It is always very satisfying for us when clients take a second trip with us, especially inside the same year! With all the logistical issues with this trip to Tibet over the National Holiday in China it is good to hear it all worked out well and we hope we can be of assisstance yet again!

|
|
| |
|
“We would like to thank Chris, and The China Travel Company, for being exceptionally responsive to our plans for touring Tibet. Our trip was an amazing adventure made more special by the understated manner in which Tibetans showcase their marvelous national treasures. We love surprises, and CTC and Tibet offer these with great style and uniqueness.
Thank you again for making our trip so special and exceptional, a memory which will stay with us forever.”
|
|
| |
|
We add: Our popular Self-Guide Adventure Beijing to Kathmandu. We are very happy that you both enjoyed the trip as Tibet is a very special place and one of our favourites.

We just wanted to mention that our guide in Bejing, Johnny and our guide in XIAN Jessica could not have done more to make the trip for us.
Marvellous trip wonderful value.”

“We are back from China, tired but very happy. Many thanks for your organisational efforts, everything worked well.”
|
|
| |
|
We add: A classic China Express trip which we tailored to replace a train journey with a flight and added in some additional transfers and tours. These sort of adjustments can be made to any of our Self-Guide Adventure trips.

| |
|
“Just a quick note to say we've arrived with our friend in Zuhai and have finished our itinerary with China Travel Company. We'll write in more detail when we return and post comments on your website, but just wanted to say we've had an amazing time, and can't believe how smoothly and well everything has gone. It really has been a once in a lifetime trip and we'll certainly recommend you to everyone we know who says they want to go to China!
Thanks for everything.”
|
|
| |
|
We add: This was an extensive tour through China taking in both the classic sights as well as some more off the beaten path adventure. A similar itinerary can be found at Sample Itinerary 4 in our Tailor Made section.

Zach Kroh: Self-Guided Adventure Beijing to Kathmandu July 2009
|
|
| |
|
“The trip was exciting and well worth it. Our guides in Beijing, Tibet, and Nepal were all excellent. They were very friendly and spoke English very well. And everyone on the trip had a great time. I felt our contact at The China Travel Co. Chris, was very helpful and did a great job providing us with all of the information and changing the trip to suit our needs. Overall everything was great. Thanks.”
|
|
| |
|
We add: Our Beijing to Kathmandu tour is one of the classic overland journeys made even more of a must these days by the Tibet Train that runs from Beijing (and Shanghai and Chengdu) to Lhasa making a previously arduous trip a good deal more confortable and enjoyable.

I will definitely recommend your services to any of my friends considering China, and I am sure that we will also go back.

Jean Short: Tailor Made Tibet trip July 2009
|
|
| |
|
“Tibet was quite a trip for all of us to undertake...please advise people to go soon as it is bound to change and to go when they are young and not pushing 70 like we all are!!!! It was well worth everything...all the hotels were great and we think you did a good job with of us asking you so many questions. Thanks again for everything. If you ever need me to be a reference for your future bookers, please do not hesitate to give out my email address....”
|

Kathie Peron-Matthews: Tailor Made trip June 2009
|
|
| |
|
“...I haven't stopped since I got home from China. Yes, our trip was wonderful--everything that you did for us was perfect. The tour guides were great--very helpful, and very knowledgeable & always right there for us. I can't say enough good about all of them. The Yangtze River Cruise was also awesome--very beautiful scenery and our room was great as was the food and everyone was very nice and accomodating. I have no regrets or issues about anything. Thank you for all your help--if I ever know anyone else who is planning a trip to China, I will definitely give them your name."
|
|
| |
|
We add: Great to hear that Kathie had a good trip and I am glad we could accommodate your specific needs.

Jean Willoughby: Tailor Made trip June 2009

| |
|
“I just want you to know that your service and continued service throughout our tour was fabulous. The driver's and tour guides were so very accommodating. Everyone wanted us to have the best. The River Cruise was wonderful and a real eye opener to the many life styles of the people of China. I have to say, I was so impressed with all of our travels. Thank you again for always being there to answer questions. Please give each of those tour guides and driver's a real bonus if you can......They really deserve it.”
|
|
| |
|
We add: Even a short Tailor Made Trip as this one was will allow you to see a wide variety of what China has to offer culturally and there is no better way to do this than a relaxing cruise down the Yangtze River watching the Chinese world go by.

John Fisher & Lynne Rogerson: China Explorer May 2009
|
|
| |
|
“Had a fantastic time. The whole trip was stress free and the mix of trips to free time worked brilliantly for us. That coupled with the culture, landscape, scenery and city skylines made the whole trip more than we expected. The service by The China Travel Company always felt personal and the organisation of the trip demonstrated this. The personalised guide was a good touch. Thank you.”
|
|
| |
|
We add: The China Explorer trip is one of our most popular trips. If you have an additional week it is possible to add in a side trip to another extremely popular destination, Tibet, which can also be easily added into the China Essentials trip.

Raymond Treloar and Family: China Explorer October 2008
|
|
| |
|
“What a trip that was! China certainly wasn’t what we were expecting, full of surprises and almost all of them good ones. How you managed to make all the arrangements so effortlessly I don’t know - we couldn’t have managed much ourselves in 2 weeks. We tend to like to make our own way on trips but if you have a limited amount of time like we had booking in advance comes highly recommended for somewhere like China.
Thanks again for all your advise and patience and we wish you and your company all the best for the future - we’ll certainly be recommending you.”
|
|
| |
|
We add: The China Explorer trip is one of the best introductory trips we operate and will give you a real flavour as to what China has to offer and all inside 2 weeks.

Andrew Jones: Tailor Made trip September 2008
|
|
| |
|
“I just got back from China a week ago and wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for all your efforts regarding my trip. It is only when you get to China that you realise that it really pays to have travel arrangements made in advance as there is no way I could have seen so much trying to deal with train tickets myself - at least until my Mandarin improves!
I was also impressed with your flexibility during the booking process - lots of advice that proved itself on the actual trip...”
|
|
| |
|
We add: Thanks for taking the time to let us know how the trip went. The Tailor Made trip you took was one of the most extensive we have organised.

Farhat & Cisca Jah: Xinjiang Explorer August 2008
|
|
| |
|
“We took your Xinjiang trip in August and had a fantastic time. The organisation went without a hitch and we were very happy you suggested taking the train to Urumqi to start the trip rather than flying. Kashgar was amazing but the highlight was the Karakorum Highway from Karakul Lake to Tashkurgan. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to others and hope to be able to plan another trip with yourselves in the future."
|
|
| |
|
We add: The Xinjiang Explorer you took really is a visit to a wholly different China and makes a fascinating contrast the the bulk of China trips to the East of the country.

Maureen Pembroke: China Essentials April 2008
|
|
| |
|
“I have just been going through the photos of our April trip to China with your company and it has prompted me to write to let you know how pleased we were with the arrangements through your company. The local guides we had were fantastic (especially Rachel on the Yantze river) and the hotels you picked for us were better than we had been expecting.
I have attached a photo of my travel partner and I on the Yangtze river entering one of the gorges...”
|
|
| |
|
We add: Many thanks for the photo you sent of you Yangtze River Cruise. We always enjoy seeing photos of our clients out in the field!
