"ok": We didn't enjoy the trip as much as we thought as the village wasn't as "untouched" as we had thought. The guide and driver were very accomodating and flexible.

"": Hi Luis,
Let us tell you that our travel to China was an marvelous experience, unforgettable and pleasant places and people as a whole. The work of the guides was outstanding with perfect knowledge of places. They explained us not only the development of each region, but also others data like the typical meal of each place.

The car was always clean and we had a fresh bottle of water waiting for us. Our driver (do not remember his name) was also nice and we felt very comfortable with his driving skills.

Best regards,
Christine Kohunsky, America
