I took this tour with your company "travelchinaguide" on June to
celebrate my honeymoon. I was very satisfied with your excellent service.
We were met at each city on time and every thing went smoothly. The
guides were all very professional, kind and helpful. They went out of
their way to accommodate every etails of our requests. Most of the meals
could not be more well-arranged only except one or two of them. Anyway,
it's really a fatastic honeymoon with your help. Thank you so much!!
