Alan's Feedback on 16-Day China Tour

The trip was excellent. It was more physically demanding that I'd anticipated, but part of that was due to the less than ideal weather conditions, which nobody can control. I thought all of the guides were good, and I would say Suki in Huangshan and Jason in Yangshuo/Longsheng were particularly outstanding. Even though Suki did not stay with me and mainly provided transportation, she checked in with me every night to make sure things were okay. Jason re-arranged the itinerary in response to weather conditions and I also enjoyed his company.

Hi Coco,

The trip was excellent. It was more physically demanding that I'd anticipated, but part of that was due to the less than ideal weather conditions, which nobody can control. I thought all of the guides were good, and I would say Suki in Huangshan and Jason in Yangshuo/Longsheng were particularly outstanding.

I've also enjoyed planning the trip with you and felt you were very responsive to my many questions.

If I were to suggest anything for improvement, I have a couple of ideas. One would be to give an idication of how physically demanding a trip is. Many of the adventure travel companies do this. The second would be to give an estimate of how long transport/transfers take. For example, for the day of departure in Huangshan, I thought after reading the itinerary that I had the morning to "tour" in the park. But I was surprised that I had to leave early in the day in order to make my travel connections. In this instance, an indication that a person would need to leave early in the morning to make the travel connections would suffice.

Thank you also for the refund. Your "regular" guides were sufficient for my needs as a photographer.
