Customer Feedback

Dear chinatraveldesinger, Thank you for one of the most memorable trips I have ever taken. It was a great adventure. Since my group was small, we were allowed flexibility with the time we spent at stops. I never felt hurried. The meals were very good! I especially enjoyed the Tang Dynasty dinner show. The tour guides spoke very good English and had so much information to give. The cars were clean and the drivers were outstanding. They were able to navigate thru any situation, I felt very safe. Thank you, again for the trip of my life.

Hello Wang We had a great time in China and returned to Australia two weeks ago after visiting other countries. The whole trip was good. The various sights of Beijing, Xian and its wall and Terracotta warriors, Yangtze and Shanghai impressed us very much. The disappointments that it was foggy the day we visited Great Wall - but you can't control the weather. But we were very lucky in that we booked on a group tour and received a private tour with guide and driver. This was excellent and made our whole trip so easy and enjoyable. The tour guides were all very helpful and knowledgeable. We were particularly impressed by Christina's knowledge of archeology and history which she put to use with a very good tour museum in Xian. The driver in Beijing, was outstanding with his smooth, safe driving in very heavy traffic. And all the hotels were all excellent with good breakfasts although the beds in China tend to be firmer than what we are used to. The cruise accommodation was not the same standard as the hotels. We were lucky to have the opportunity to upgrade to a larger cabin which made a big difference. We would have had difficulty with our bags. Also it was more private with a balcony outside rather than a walkway. We all had a very good experience and your team was very helpful as your representative. Thanks!

Hi Chen Hong, First and foremost, let me say “Thank-you” to all the personnel working for “chinatraveldesigner” especially the tour guides in city who made our trip that much enjoyable and hassle-free. Everything went well without a hitch. A job well done!! We were treated like royalties—greeted at the airports, drove us to wine and dine, then put us up in luxury hotels. We will definitely go with your company for our next South China tour. I will talk friends and relatives into going with your tours and nobody else!!! We must say, the meals were sumptuous and the restaurants are plush. Services were excellent. All the waitresses were friendly and courteous. We would never find these restaurants if we were on our own. There is that particular restaurant in Beijing we all very much love to dine in. I have no doubt other groups will favor it too. This only restaurant serves steamed fish to the group liking and the settings are gorgeous. I forgot to jog down the name of the restaurant because I was too overwhelmed by the dishes……….Please find out the name of the restaurant. We would go back for more the next time we visit Beijing. Oh! We also love the Xian famous dumpling banquet dinner entertained with Tang Dynasty music and dance show. Chinatraveldesigner has the most friendly, knowledgeable, punctual and courteous tour guides especially the tour guides of Xian and Beijing. They are well-versed in the history of all the places we visited, more than we could absorbed. Questionnaires were handed to us personally at the end of each excursion for feedback. Please pass on my sincere appreciations to Xian’s and Beijing’s tour guides and also not to forget Shanghai’s tour guide too…….. The Drivers were all very conscientious, experienced and skillful. We have to say they are first-class divers who maneuvered through these busy city streets like no worry. They have humble and good mannered. We were fortunate to have them as our tour drivers. They brought us all back in one piece. Thanks to them!!! Their vehicles were clean and you could see them wiping the dust off in their spare time. The hotel rooms were excellent and the breakfast were fantastic. You could not ask for more…..There was a mixture of Western and Asian food and no shortage of varieties. Breakfast included with each hotel stay is the best way to go. It saved us time looking for a place to have something to eat before we take off for the tour. Just imagine we had to walk miles the last few days in Shanghai to find something that we like for lunch and dinner. It was not worth the trouble. We like to share with you some of the happy and memorable moments we had during our tour. Everyone was happy and smiling!!! Best Regards,

Hi Zhongxin- About the scenic attractions-Forbidden City and Xian-the city and the Warriors were fabulous. And the guides-Elina in Xian knew history-spoke great English and answered all our questions. Hotels and meals were up to standard-the Sofitel was a lovely spot-the Tang Dynasty show we saw in Xi'an was great. We would recommend China Travel Designer to friends-every connection was there on the tour-every guide showed up on time and did a good job. Some tips for future visitors---The 'slide' down the great wall. The ride through the country was great. Also the visit to the home by rickshaw in Beijing was good. Each traveler takes their own hand sanitizer-small container of tissues and 'airborne' to take after air travel.

Hi Hong Chen, But of course, with pleasure! The trip was simply so wonderful. Beijing is just such a pleasant city. It may be big, and it has many people, but it is easy to get acquainted with. So many fantastic restaurants as well and so nice to see the people living in the streets, little street diners where people enjoy their meals. You have to make some preparations before you go if you go without a guide such as printing the name and address of your hotel in Chinese to show the taxi driver. However, thanks to China travel designer, that is not really necessary. From all the cities we have visited, I liked Xi’an the least. But the fascinating terracotta warriors, historic city wall and beautiful old city center around the mosque make up for the chaotic street scene in the modern part of the city. Also, our guide in X'ian was a lovely young lady, compensating for the crazy traffic which seemed so much less organized than in the other cities. I absolutely love Guilin. The atmosphere in the city is cozy almost. The beautiful lakes and karst mountains you can see throughout the whole city have a calming effect. Not only does Guilin city offer a heartwarming memory, the excursions you can make to the rice paddies and the Li River are simply unforgettable. I have seldom seen landscapes so breathtaking. Kevin, our guide, was such a nice guy, in the 3 days we spent together we had real fun in a very relaxing way. I am sure China travel designer will pick a hotel by the lake, because walking by the lake area in the evening hours gives a good view of how the Chinese live and enjoy their lives... Shanghai is just such an impressive city, especially after seeing all the others. It's amazing how the city was build in less then 15 years. I would definitely recommend a hotel in the French quarter, just to get away from all the skyscrapers and amazingly modern world. Also an easy city to get around, metros are great, even more luxurious then in Beijing, and everything in 2 languages, so no need to get lost. Must say. I think I prefer Beijing, but it's just such a different city, I don't think it's fair to make a comparison! Then, coming to the comfort of traveling with China travel designer: you literally do not have to worry about a thing. Everything is taken care of, from the moment you arrive, until the moment you leave. For me the first time to travel China like this, as I was traveling with my 70+ parents, but it was an extremely relaxing experience, I must admit. The guides were all pleasant, the cars and drivers excellent. It was a very recommendable experience absolutely!
