Re:Two-day Great Wall hiking from Gubeikou to Simatai

Hello! We are back in Japan~ it was a very quick trip for us mostly only to see the Great Wall. It was SPECTACULAR! We had a great experience hiking for 2 days and the wall was even more impressive than we had imagined. I know that a good tour company and guide can make all the difference and we are thrilled with how well this trip worked out. Cheney was a great guide- an asset to our trip. He was energetic, informative and interesting. And it seemed like he really enjoyed being on the wall too, and enjoyed the scenery and hiking. The driver was great too, he was trustworthy and safe, and the car was comfortable and clean. Working with you before the trip was a breeze, it was easy to contact you by email up until our departure and you always responded quickly. It was all fairly smooth, I would have packed slightly different and may have changed some food options, but those are minor details that I commented about in our comment sheet. Overall we are both very happy with CNadventure and the Great Wall tour. We will absolutely recommend to everyone we know to get to Beijing and see you for a tour of the Great Wall. We had an awesome experience! If you have any more specific questions about our trip our impressions please let me know.

Re: Horseback Riding Tour to Hunlun Beier Grand Grassland
Dear Jennifer:
Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures. They bring back all the good memories we have from our trip to Inner Mongolia. However, I still carry inside of me all the good feelings those few days gave me. All of us very much enjoyed the outdoor-horse-camping-life we shared with your great group. Which is quite an accomplishment considering the variety of ages: 7 kids ranging from 5 to 15 and adults. The kids all had a blast: horseback riding, swimming in the river, fishing, football, camping, camp-fire, great food, nice weather, good companions. We adults very much took pleasure in the beautiful scenery and – more than anything – sharing a few days with the Mongolian horseman. Joyful, playful, awesome riders, who did a fantastic job looking out for everybody.No one ever felt unsafe. Did I mention they sang a lot too.
The organization was also very good. A big bus for all of us and a going along van, that was almost always within sight. Very caring guides and a terrific cook.

Thank you very much! We'll be back,

Re:Xi'an Warrior Tour
Dear Lisa:
We had a wonderful time in Xi'an. Thank you for meeting us at the train station in Beijing and assisting us directly to our compartment. It would have been difficult without your help.
The hotel was lovely and breakfast was most welcome. The children enjoyed ping pong in the evening. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the flexibility of the tour.
The driver was helpful and courteous, always prompt and available.
Thank you for fulfilling our expectations. We have many good memories.
Please pass on our regards to Lucky and our driver.

Sincerely,
Helen Hoeve

Re:http://www.cnadventure.com/docc/Tourlist.asp?id=70 (Part of the itinerary)
Hi Mandy 
Our guides were wonderful. 
Lucky in Xi'an was very knowledgeable and enjoyed Mark challenging her opinions about things – something he really enjoys doing.  She was very good with the children and was able to engage with them.  The hotel in Xi'an was very nice.  
In Qingdao Felix was an excellent guide.  He was bright and enthusiastic, spoke English brilliantly and was very knowledgeable.  Yes there was some difficulty with our meeting, but that was not a fault of service, simply a change in airport procedure.  The hotel was beautiful, we all wanted to stay much longer.
In Shanghai our guide Hou (is that how I spell it?) was very good also. He was flexible and understanding when we wanted to change things. 

Best regards

Re:http://www.cnadventure.com/docc/Tourlist.asp?id=15
Dear Mandy,
Happy New Year to you.
I hope you are keeping well.

Guide:
Our guide, Xiao Xia, was very knowledgeable of the hiking part.
Xiao Xia was helpful because he speaks local Naxi language.
Our guide has very good relationship with the inn/lodge owner.
It could be more informative in terms of the education/environment perspective.

Overall,
Food was very good and fresh. 
We were satisfied with the inn/lodge even though the rooms get very cold.  Our expectation was managed before the start of the trip.
Our driver demonstrated very good and safe driving skills. Safety was very important to us.
The managers or owners of the inn/lodge were very friendly.
Emergency contact was essential. It should be provided to customer without being asked to.
I hope this is useful as I travel at least twice a year with adventure outfitters all over the world.  My next destination is Belize in Central America.  I am going for kayaking and snorkeling.  I hope to learn something about marine conservation as well.  
Thanks again for your assistance and I really enjoyed my trip.

Sincerely,
Ms. Jada Lam

Re: Buddhism Culture tour: Chengdu, Mt.Emei & Leshan Giant Buddha
Hi Joanne,
Thank you for your email. Yes we all had a wonderful time on our tours!
Actually my boyfriend and I want to take another tour through CN Adventure if you could put together another quote for me I would appreciate it. We want to take the 2 day Mongolia tour and then when we get back to Beijing do another 2 days hiking along the wall (preferably a different section to the one I recently hiked.)
Thanks again for everything, we were happy with all our guides, drivers and accommodations!

Re:Xi'an Warrior Tour
Dear Lisa,
Trip to Xi'an was very good. The guide (Benny) was excellent. We learned a lot about Xi'an and its history from Benny. He was flexible in accommodating the activities and sights we were interested in seeing. He is also very good with children.

Re:Two-day Great Wall hiking from Gubeikou to Simatai
Dear Lisa,
The tour was absolutely fantastic. I’ve been telling everybody about it. It was exactly what I was looking for and the weather, besides being a little hot, was perfect as well and allowed us to camp out.
The guide and driver were very good as well and would recommend this trip to people serious about hiking harsh sections of the wall. It was amazing to be out along the wall and not see anyone the entire day except for a farmer tending to his goats. I cannot even explain how real it felt compared to at Badaling during my visit last year.
Also, your communication was excellent in getting back to me about the tour, which with the Olympics coming up next year is a big plus for any Americans coming over. While I enjoyed the trip and loved the challenge it provided, you may want to add more of a caution on the website that it does include steep climbs and narrow pathways even more than the description has on it currently.

Re:Grassland and Desert in Inner Mongolia
Hi Mandy,
We had a great trip. The driver and guide did a really good job. The yurts were much better than expected, not cold at night at all. Food was better in the city. Still, it was good food in the grassland. Only the breakfast was not so good. Overall, we had a lot of fun and a very good time.

Re:Two-day Leisure tour in Chengde
Dear Mandy,
Our trip to Chengde was great. We were very satisfied with hotel and guide and we enjoyed the two days. Everything was very good organized, guide and driver were always on time and the guide could give a lot of explanation. It was very interesting.
Many thanks for your support.

Re:Beijing, Mt. Huangshan, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai
Dear Mandy,
Our trip was wonderful. We are recommending you to our friends. Our tour guide and driver were fantastic. They were always on time, knowledgeable about the sites we visited and always very friendly. The hotel was very nice and its location was even better. We also enjoyed the restaurants and felt that we had a good sampling of all the different foods native to Beijing. The assistance you gave us before we even began our trip was very helpful and much appreciated. After Beijing our trip continued to go perfectly thanks to your guidance. You provide wonderful service that is flexible, professional and a great value. Thanks for your help and for making our trip in China absolutely perfect.

Re:Two-day Leisure tour in Chengde
Dear Many,
We had a great time in Chengde. Our guide, Mary, was lovely and very responsive to our needs. The hotel also was good. Our only criticism would be that we ate at the same restaurant for each meal. We would have enjoyed a little variety in venue. The meals were certainly good and plenty of food was served.
All in all it was a very enjoyable weekend and we are looking forward to Pingyao this weekend.

Re:Five-day trek to Tiger Leaping Gorge and Lijiang
Dear Lisa,
Thanks for your note. I had a great time in Tiger Leaping Gorge! Tashi was a great guide and the food was so plentiful, I thought I was going to get fat! :) Definitely had a great time and thought the itinerary, guiding, guest house, food, driver was all fantastic!
Thanks for the follow up!

Re:Beijing--a glimpse into the past of China
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for your message. Yes, we have been back home in California for about a week and a half.
I completed the feedback form and gave it to Lee. I have been meaning to write and provide additional information, so your request is timely.
Your choice of hotel was outstanding. The staff was terrific--always ready to help, and their English was usually sufficient to be understandable and for us to be understood. I don't know if you or Lee told them, or if they got the information from my passport, but they even left me a whole birthday cake on my birthday. It was delicious.
The meals ranged from good to great. We especially appreciated it when we went to restaurants that were not just catering to tourists--we had some excellent lunches and dinners, and the lunch at
the small guest house under the Great Wall was wonderful. Donna still talks about the corn cakes stuffed with willow leaf buds.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments. Your reply is welcome, as always.
Warm regards

Re:Great Wall Hiking from Jinshanling to Simatai
Dear Winne,
Happy New Year! I must say we had a fantastic time on the Great Wall and I thought the tour was excellent from start to finish.
The driver was funny and the tour guide - Ricky was very obliging and friendly. I will recommend your company to others in the future. By the way, do you have any information on tours to Inner Mongolia? I would like to visit in April.
Kind regards and good luck for 2007.

Re:Seven-day Great Wall Hiking
Hi Jenny,
Back in Shanghai we are still full of wonderful memories of our Great Wall
As already said we are full of praise for our two guides. Bruce is an extremely fit guide, who got on so well with the kids and who knew the hikes very well. Lee always made sure that everybody was fine, provided us well with food (all the fruit ready washed!) and drinks. During the drives he
exactly knew where to go and if anything unforeseen happened he was quick in getting off the car and gathering the necessary information. Also he has enormous knowledge on Chinese history and answered most patiently and competently all our innumerable questions. Both the guides were very flexible in coming up to our requests and needs, which depending on the group may be really very varied. Both of them tuned in so well to us.

Re:Two-day Great Wall hiking from Gubeikou to Simatai
Dear Jennifer,
We wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful hiking tour! Both Alan and Charlie were great, very informative, and well prepared. The driver was very helpful too. We would like to ask you if it is possible to still get the tickets (as a souvenir) for the wall in Jinshanling.

Re:Yungang Grottoes and Hanging Temple / Three-day trip
Dear Lisa,
The Datong trip was awesome! Everything that we saw was amazing! I believe that the Hanging Monastary was everyone's favorite. Our guide, Mr. Ping, was excellent and I highly recommend him for your future clients.
Take care,
