China Trip to Beijing, Xian and Hong Kong in May from USA

Dear Tina,

Well, it's been a couple of weeks now since we returned from China. We want to thank you for a wonderful trip with Top China Travel. We would like to tell you that having your agency arrange our trip was incredibly helpful. Your agent that worked with us, Sophie was extremely helpful. We bookedat the last moment and changed our itinerary often. Sophie was very patient with us and helped as we kept changing our options.

From the time we arrived in Bejing until our departure in Hong Kong all of the guides and drivers were very courteous and accomodating. They were flexible and worked with our needs and desires to see more of China. They made many good recommendations for additional sites to see. We were able to see 2 shows that were not on our schedule because of their recommendations. They got us very good seating in each event even though they were last minute reservations.

We found that prices of merchandise in China were higher than expected. Maybe that's a good thing because it kept us from buying too much. But for China, you should consider that the prices are high and do cause us tourist to buy less. A big example is the Chinese silk carpets. We currently live in the Middle East and we can buy silk rugs from Iran, Cashmiere, India and Turkey for much less than the silk rugs in China. We would have enjoyed buying one, but not at the prices in China.

No problems with any of the TCT tour. Everyone was lovely. Thanks for the experience.
