Jack Li- Our Experienced Yangtze Cruise Advisor

Dear Mr Jack Li

This is my feedback on the Yangtze cruise Century Oasis.

We travelled in a group of 6 booked on the Century Oasis for the Yangtze river cruise from Chongqing to Yichang. We thank Mr Jack Li who provided excellent service and support in booking and making payments.

We enjoyed the cruise and found the facilities, amenities and rooms very much to expectations. The services were well orchestrated and coordinated by the Captain and his crew. Attention to detail, comfort, convenience and safety of the passengers were paramount and emphasized throughout our 4 day stay. Compliments to the Chef for the wide variety of food options. Each meal offers some dishes which are new and provides variety and taste.

The off-shore excursions are a must. They are thoroughly well planned and executed in small groups of 12-15 persons. The 3 Kingdom performance show is spectacular. We are very impressed. The cruise offered excellent central seating for the performance. The Ghost city and upstream excursions were very enjoyable. We heard there was a lot of walking but it was at an easy pace and not troubling at all (my group are in their sixties & seventies)

We had one hiccup which was beyond the control of the cruise operator. In early April the tide at the Chongqing Chao Tien Men terminal was too low, and the ship could not embank there. We were given 2 days advance notice to go to a different meeting venue in the city and were driven by coach to the next embarkation point. We felt that this hiccup was well managed and together with other travellers felt we were well taken care of.

We highly recommend this cruise and recommend booking through the yangtze-river-cruise.com website is an excellent choice.

Thank you, Jack.

Sincerely

Mr Kwong

Hi Jack,

I just wanted to say that the itinerary was outstanding—I was really impressed with how well everything was organized.

That said, I wanted to share a few observations. One concern was the number of stairs at several destinations during the day tours. My friend, who has a knee injury, found it quite challenging at times. It might be helpful to note this in the tour descriptions for future guests.

Also, we noticed that the rooms didn’t include hair dryers or conditioner, which are usually standard in similar accommodations.

There was a slight language barrier with some of the staff, which occasionally made communication a bit difficult. Additionally, the Karaoke Night didn’t seem set up for Western guests to participate easily, and one of the evening plays was entirely in the local language without any translation—making it hard to follow.

Overall, I truly enjoyed the experience and appreciated the cultural immersion. I just feel that a few small adjustments could make the experience more comfortable and accessible for Western visitors.

Thanks again for all your efforts!

Best regards,

Janett

Hello Jack,

The cruise went really well and we had a very good time during the 4 days. Unfortunately the day with the visit of the 3 gorges it was raining, but it is something we cannot plan in advance. In any case we were satisfied with the cruise, food was good, the room comfortable and the cruise's member really nice. Thank you helping us in the organization and booking, we had great time.

regards,

Jack,

We have made it back to America.

I wanted to THANK YOU for one of the most awesome trips that I have taken. I speak for the Browns also. Everything was first class and exceeded all of our expectations.

From the moment we stepped off the plane in Shanghai, we were immediately met by Seven (our guide in Shanghai). She was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. The accommodations were first class at the Hyatt. We had an amazing tour of Shanghai with the Museum. Some of the artifacts were priceless. We took lots of pictures. Next we visited the Yu Garden. Very peaceful and tranquil. We visited the financial district and saw amazing views of the City. We were pretty tired after this so we only took a short tour along the Bund.

Next we took the bullet train to Yichang. Again we were met at the station by our guide Leo who directed us to the Yangtze 2. When we were directed to the Presidential Suite, we were spell bound. It was overwhelming. The room was very spacious. We had our own table for meals and the food was great. It was much more than we could eat. Leo was an exceptional guide. He was very patient and accommodating to us. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the excursions. The welcoming party by the Captain the crew as over the top. It was truly first class. The Three Gorges Dam is one of the modern wonders of the world. We took the “elevator” ride with the cruise ship up the dam. It is one of the engineering feats of the world. We then visited the White Emperor City and the Great Rift Valley. That was breathtaking.

Because the river was low, we had to take a train from Wuling to Chongqing. Again we were met at the train station by David. He was very accommodating and showed us the sites of his city. Our guide, Julie, showed us the Hongya Cave. What a site!!! The rock formations and sheer beauty were very impressive.

Next was the train to Chengdu to see the pandas. It was the highlight for my wife. Our guide, Helen, was very passionate about the pandas. She was great. We also visited Jinli Old Street and visited with the vendors and toured all of the sites.

Next was the train to Xi’an to see the Terra Cotta Soldiers. That was a marvel. We were all overwhelmed. Our guide was Linda. She was great. We visited Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. We tried on the Hanfu. We had our picture taken with about a dozen people. They all wanted their picture taken with us. I was dressed as a prime minister, my wife was a fair maiden as was Marianne. Ron was dressed as one of the ministers. It was so much fun. We had a blast.

Next was the train to Beijing. Our guide, Jaime, was super. We first visited Tiananmen Square. It was breathtaking. The walk through the Forbidden City was stunning. The beauty and immensity of it were overwhelming. The highlight for me was to visit the Great Wall. It was stunning. I was overwhelmed at the immense structure. It truly is one of the seven wonders of the world.

I cannot thank you enough for putting this trip together. The people were so nice to us that we did not feel like foreigners. Lots of people wanted our picture. We felt like celebrities. You truly have a beautiful country steeped in history.

All of the guides and drivers were very well spoken. We had no trouble with understanding them. The hotels were all first class. The Yangtze 2 was a great ship. All of meals were great. There was so much food we had trouble eating half of it. It was too much. I would not change a single thing on the entire trip.

We had many American people question why we were going to China. They cautioned us to be “careful”. I felt more safe in China than in most parts of America. I have recommended this trip to several people. We in America need to learn about the Chinese people and need to learn from them. You have many great things about your country. It is too bad that more people do not know the wonders of China.

Again THANK YOU FOR AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE. One that we will never forget.

Hi Jack,

We had a wonderful time on our cruise! We absolutely loved our room on the uppermost deck towards the front of the ship.

My daughter and I both wrote reviews while we were still on board. They asked us to handwrite our reviews, so I’ve taken pictures of two of them and attached them to this email.

I also plan to post our reviews on TripAdvisor and any social media that mentions Century Voyage.

Would you like me to send you screenshots of my reviews once they’re complete? We’re currently traveling from Zhangjiajie to Xi’an, but I should have some time after this weekend to finalize them.

Thank you again for this unforgettable trip!

Best regards,

Mary

Hi, Jack - We had a great time on the cruise. Luckily we had chance to go to Chongqing to see the train through building and the night lights of Chongqing. We really enjoyed the FengYanShanGuo show. It was amazing.

Thanks.

HI Jack,

Firstly congratulations wishes to you been married, have a lovely and joyful journey a head of your marriage.

Regarding my trip on yangtze river cruise.

It was lovely, wonderful and joyful for us.

About the cruise. It is well managed and the staffs welcome us with highly hospitality.

I highly recommend it to my friends.

Oh congratulations then Jack!

Yangtze River Cruise could be better if the weather was great. We love our room though however should improve on sound proofing the room. Guide Betty for White Emperor City spoke excellent English. We were disappointed with the dual language guide for Three Gorges Dam Project. He spoke Mandarin most of the time and we could barely understand!

Sharon

Singapore   May 06, 2024

Hi Jack,

Sorry for this late reply. I had a very busy day today running errands here and there, so many things to attend to after my return from China!

The Dazu tour was great! David was a great English speaking guide and he took care to go through with us the history of Dazu Rock & The Beishan Carvings. He was very knowledgeable, nice and friendly. Then he took us to a nearby Restaurant for our lunch, the food was good and the price was reasonable. Unfortunately we couldn't converse much with the driver as he can't speak english and our Chinese was quite limited but he was very pleasant and nice. The car was nice, clean and comfortable. All in all, we had a great day!

Oh, we enjoyed the Yangtze Cruise too ... there were a lot of activities to do on board if we chose not to join in the excursions. 4 days 3 nights just flew by so fast, which meant, we had a great time. The Officers and Staff on board the cruise were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, which made our stay very nice and comfortable.

The transfer from Yichang Three Gorges Dam Centre to Yichang East Railway Station went smoothly and without any problem. With the help of the Cruise Manager Allan and Vivian from your side, we were able to finalise the final details of the transfer. We arrived at the Yichang East Railway Station at about 13:30, with plenty of time to spare before our train left for Chongqing at 14:45.

As for the train tickets, thank you very much for your patience and your time in getting us the train tickets back to Chongqing on the 30 April, at no extra costs. It was a very great relief when we heard that!

All in all, we were very happy with your services! Both you and Jason were very professional and were there to help us with our itinerary along the way and everything went well as planned. I would definitely be in touch again when I plan my next trip to China.

Thank you again and may you have a great day!

Warmest Regards,

Hi Jack,

Thank you Jack and staff of Chengdu Bamboo for helping to arrange for our cruise to Yangtze River with Century cruise. He also provided me with the information needed to ensure a safe trip and timely trip there.

My elderly parents and I enjoyed our cruise onboard Century Oasis. The sights are beautiful and the attractions well organised.

Hello Jack.

My wife and I wish to thank you for your recommendation. We also want to compliment the crew and the management of the cruise company. The ship is beautiful and the service is outstanding. We have now been here for 24 hours and are enjoying every minute on the boat and the tours. It has beyond our highest expectations so far.

Once again, thank you for your patience and dedication through the whole process. Kindly convey our appreciation and gratitude to the management and crew of the vessel and the owners.

Yours very sincerely

Dear Jack

I just want to let you know that we had a fantastic cruise tour with Century Victory and its highly competent and kind staff.

The cabin was very fine, so was the restaurant and the excursions. We chose the ship lift tour in the end which was also amazing.

Once again thank you so much for your assistance in making this tour possible.

Best regards,

Hello,

We had a great time thank you. We were grateful for the upgraded cabins. We enjoyed the underwater museum and evening show excursions very much. The sky road was also enjoyable. The lesser three gorges excursion was quite long, if we had known how long it was going to be we may have decided to skip it, or at least go prepared with drinks etc.

The lead tour guide on board was great. Although we were a bit disappointed there was no real farewell. The final day felt very rushed. It seemed like there was more to do at the three gorges dam like the underwater gallery but we didn't have the time to see it.

The service onboard was very good. Very attentive staff. Given the price I would have expected a bit better quality food. The select was good but often the buffet items had gone cold and weren't replaced with fresh. I think a better selection of wines, including a nicer house wine would help attract more western guests too.

Hope that's helpful.

Thank you Jack for your email advising on corona virus and updating on the status of the virus in China. We are also following the case not only in China but all over the world. We hope that a vaccine is found soon so that the economy can return to normal. I can understand that the tourist industry is hard hit and hope that China Discovery/Tibet Discovery is able to maintain its operation until this problem is resolved.

Glad that you have read the ongseokkim website. If you so wish, recommend it to your colleagues, friends, family, etc to read. As my father's original root and thus my root is China, our history may be of interest to people in China especially those with surname of Wang.

With peace and harmony

Hi Jack,

I hear China continues to recovery from the Virus. I'm happy to hear that and hope you remain well.  

The US has begun to respond strongly to the outbreak. Asking all people to work from home if possible, closing businesses, cancelling large gatherings, closing schools.  My company has asked us to work from home so I am working from home for the next 4 weeks. Unfortunately, testing is not available unless the person has symptoms, recently traveled, and is at high risk. They are working on releasing more test kits and slowing the spread of the virus.  My thoughts are with Italy and other countries that are fighting this terrible virus.

My best wishes to you and the people of China for you continued recovery.

Dear Jack,

Thank you for your thoughtful help and advice at this time. Much appreciated. We are happy that things in China have improved and you and all Chinese are an example to the rest of us. Soon it’ll be the anniversary of our holiday in China. We frequently look at the photos and remember all the beauty we saw and the kindness of the people. Brendan and I are being very cautious. Our daughter lives with us and she is very caring and amusing and we cannot ask for more. Our leader, Leo Varadkar Is an exceptional person whom we trust and appreciate. This too will pass. I hope you and your family are all well. Also the excellent company you work with will no doubt emerge again and will we wish you all the best. Kindest regards.

Honora and Brendan.

Hi Jack,

TQ for good advice. Hope all of you and family at ChinaDiscovery are fine.

Here in Malaysia, the number of cases are increasing .Our government had just ordered a lockdown for two weeks-no travel outside home except for emergencies and for food.Except for essential services , all businesses also closed. Hopefully it will not have to be extended after that.

Hi Jack,

Could you please pass on our appreciation and thanks to Management and staff at Yangtze River Cruises?

My wife and myself have just completed a cruise from Chongqing to Yichang on 7/10/2019. We wish to say that the cruise was excellent. The land excursions were excellent and interesting.

With regard to the Victoria Jenna, the ship was clean, and ALL crew were very helpful, courteous and friendly and in our opinion did there jobs in an excellent manner.

We also enjoyed the food and the amenities on board.

A big thank you to YRC for the excellent way they handled our booking and the prompt attention to our inquiries along the way.

The Yangtze Cruise was one of the highlights of our trip to China and will always be remembered.

Keep up the good work, we will always, when the opportunity arises recommend YRC and the Victoria Jenna to any of our friends looking for a cruise on the beautiful Yangtze.

Dear Jack,

We had a very nice time in China. 

We filled in all the different feedbackforms allready. 

To make a Trip to Longji, it could help to know in advance, that in makes sence to bring a small bag. 

The most important information for you is to know, that everything was perfectly organized. 

Thank you very much

Hi Jack,

We will definitely be recommending this to our friends.

Hi Jack,  

I was going to email you when I got home to say thank you very much - it was a very good trip and with hindsight my only regret is not doing a longer trip to include mount kailsdh and possibly lake namtso. 

They changed the itinerary so I left for Everest a day early and I think the original plan would have been better with one more day to acclimatise, but luckily I was ok and we were lucky with the weather - we saw the top of Everest at night and the bottom of Everest in the morning. 

So I would very much recommend the trip to anyone. The guides were nice and everything worked perfectly.

Thank you very much for all your help. I will look at the chengdu bamboo site when I get home to see what else you offer - I still have about 4 or 5 further Chinese itineraries to work out.

Hi Jack,

Many thanks for organising a wonderful holiday. All the guides were kind and friendly especially Lingzy in Beijing, David in Lhasa, Yuti in Chongqing and Zhou Fei in Yichang. Tours and activities were well organised. Flights went fine and hotels were good although wifi was terrible in all places.

Airport collection and drop off at Lhasa should be better and it would have been helpful if you had emailed Airport Hotel in Beijing with Chinese characters.

Best wishes

Dear Jack,

We've been so busy after coming back home. After ending the tour we were for a few days in Shanghai in a conference and then for a week in Athens with the same purpose. We had a wonderful time in China and want to thank you for the tour. The organization was wonderful, all meetings for transfers and for tours were on time, in nice cars with nice guides. All guides were good specially Gila in Shengdu. The hotels were nice, Xian was just amazing. We enjoyed the Yangtsee trip, cabin was confortable.

The guide at the dam was very good with great English.

We would have changed the last day, we had many hours of waiting at the airport for the flight to Shanghai, Amanda was in a hurry to leave us at the airport, we could have done something if suggested beforehand.

Anyway you have a great country and we will certainly recommend the tour.

All the best

Hi Jack,

So good to hear from you!  Yes I came back to Canada on April 22 and am still adjusting the time difference.

Thanks for your help. We had a very good cruise down the Yangtze River.  Everything went as planned.  We were very much impressed by the smooth operation by the ship crew, despite of the large number of passengers.  One thing particularly surprised us was that passengers could board the ship as soon as they come in, which does not happen often in China.  This has eliminated the long lines and waiting.  All the shore excursions were well-organized without a glitch.   Unfortunately the weather was wet but that did not damper our enjoyment with all the sightseeing.  The food onboard was also very good.  We also appreciated it very much that your group had actively made contact with the ship in advance to fix the transportation to the Yichang train station.  Because the delay caused by the tour to the Three Gorge Dam, we thought we were going to miss the train to Zhangjiajie.  But the two ladies sent by your agency did a great job to rush us to the train station.  Not only they came very early waiting for us, they even called the train station to find out details of the layout of the train station so that we could go straight to our train without any delay.   Because of their all-out efforts, we got to the train station some 20 minutes ahead of the time, which was absolutely impressive.  If we are ever going back to China to visit your area, I know which travel agency to use.

Please extend our sincere gratitude to those ladies and please feel free to use my comments on any of your promotion info material as you see fit.

Hello Jack,

It was one of the best trips we have ever made in China. My whole family enjoyed every single hour of it. It was impressive, exciting but also quite relaxing at the same time. We would definitely recommend to those who are interested in ancient history, who enjoy beautiful nature landscape and can value the great engineering achievements in bending the power of the fascinating Jangtze!

Hello Jack.

We were very happy on the century emerald. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The land tours where perfectly organized and interesting. Only the visit in the 3 gorges project was insufficient. Bad weather ( not yours) and missing the most interesting point ( the technik and the view from the low point of the wall.) We would however recommend the tour with you to our friends.

So long

The trip was wonderful. Very well organized and good guides. It was exhausting travel, especially from Yichang to Zhangjiajie. The sleeper car was not so clean, but I realize that was the first class car on that train.

All the guides were excellent. Very helpful and eager to please.

Thank you for your help

Good morning Jake,

We have arrived home and can’t THANK YOU enough the trip you organized and planed for us, was the best ever. All 6 of us thank you, everything went to time and all the drivers and tour guides were terrific.

The vans that picked us up were clean and had good air conditioning. The tour guides spoke clear English and very helpful, they knew a lot about your country .

We could not fault a thing, it was a 10 out of 10 for all of us,the other 2 couples said that it was the best holiday they have done I agree.

We would be recommending you to all our family and friends.

I hope one day to come back with my children and grandchildren.

You have a beautiful country and lovely people.

They Yangzi River cruise was a high light and the ship was great I would recommend the Century Legend it was so quit and comfortable to travel on, we upgraded to the 6 floor[ dinning] and that was the best thing we did.

Thank you and hope to do business with you again one day.

Helen, Fay and Wally were all terrific tour guides and very helpful , would recommend them.

Many thanks,

Hello Jack,

We enjoy the cruise but it's a shame that you don't provide a light meal the first day, registered between 18 and 20h1/2. The captain diner was a mistake, poor service, cold food... petty because the waiters where very friendly.

The visit of the dam is a shdow of a visit, too far away, no seen on the spot and the pseudo entry through the visiter center is a jocke.

Days 2 and 3 were a good experience, nice scenary, nice people.

Best regards.

Hi Jack

We are back home in Australia now.

The cruise was great. Wonderful scenery, interesting sights and a well organised ship. We were especially happy with the service received from the on board guide, Elissa, who made sure that we knew and understood what was going on and having English speaking guides at each of the side trips made the cruise all the more enjoyable and interesting. The accommodation was quite satisfactory and as expected. Service was good and we found the beds quite comfortable which was not our experience in many of the hotels where the beds were extremely firm to rock hard. The cabin temperature was a little to hot but with the ability to leave the balcony doors open, we were able to have a comfortable nights sleep.

Many thanks for your effort in arranging the cruise for us and keeping us informed.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Yangtze River Cruises and Yangtze Gold Cruise vessels to others.

Hi Jack,

Well, here it is, just a little over a month since our amazing trip to China and Hong Kong. We are still talking about it, people are still asking about it, and we wish we had more pictures and a journal to document our experiences. We must remember that the next time.

We have not submitted information regarding the services provided by China Discovery during our trip. I would like to work on that, however, I need the names of our tour guides to help my memory. Would you please send me the first name of all our guides you provided on our tour? I made comments for every survey that each guide gave us. I hope they turned them in to you. Anyway, I will wait for you to email me their names so I can respond to the survey. Yes, if there is any comment or advice in my survey response which could be of help to your company, then please use it in your advertisement. As for pictures, we will send them if we feel they are striking and worth publishing.

Thank you again for an awesome tour! We will be sure to use your services whenever we are in Asia.

Hi Jack,

I'm sorry I have not written before to thank you for arranging the cruise. It was so good of you to contact us in Shanghai to say the plans had changed and we got the bus OK to Nanjing. We had a wonderful time and we're really pleased to have booked the suite room as it was very comfortable for our stay on board the Victoria Sophia. We had some really enjoyable trips too, and I enjoyed the walking along the Yangtze very much.

Thank you Jack. I will keep your contact details because perhaps you can help with another China trip next year.

Yours gratefully,

Ellie

Dear jack,

I am sorry I have taken so long to write. June and I did not return to Canberra until 18th and since then until today I have had a problem with my computer. We had a wonderful cruise. Everything went well and we enjoyed all we saw and learned about that amazing 3 Gorges project. We enjoyed the cruise and found the crew all helpful and friendly. Yes there was a small delay at Yichang but that did not matter. We were well cared for by the cruise Director and Hotel Manager on the ship until our transport arrived. They also spoke to you. We were not put out or worried about that short delay. Thank you so much for your organization of our cruise and for the transport connections. Our visit to Shanghai also went well and we have had a lovely holiday.

Yours sincerely

Margaret and June

Hi, Jack!

It was wonderful, one of the very best parts of the trip. All of my travelers loved it. The facilities aboard ship, the food, and the entertainment were splendid, and we loved the shore excursions. The Gorges were beautiful, of course.

Thank you so much for creating this unforgettable experience!

Hi Jack

We really enjoyed our Yangtze Cruise on Victoria Anna. The boat was really good – not too crowded and the rooms were clean and comfortable with nice big glass doors to see the views. The included activities were fun, and we also enjoyed going ashore on our own when we could despite being told in the daily notes that we couldn’t! We enjoyed meeting the other guests seated at our table, and the food was plentiful and pleasant. We were lucky with the weather – although it was quite hot, it didn’t actually rain during our trip. It was great being able to sit out on the covered deck in front of the Yangtze Club and watch the passage through the gorges with a nice breeze blowing to keep us cool.

We would definitely recommend a cruise on Victoria Anna to our friends and family.

Kind regards

Hi Jack,

We had a great time. We were only 2 of 6 foreigners (there were 350 passengers) but they had a few English speaking crew. 

The food was satisfactory and plentiful. The views were fantastic. All in all a great experience.

Hi Jack.

The tour was very good. I especially liked he 3 gorges museum.   

Also added a visit to another old building. The sign called it the Huguang Guild house. That was the highlight.

Tour guide was very enthusiastic about Chongqing and all the reasons I should come back.  

Thank you.

Hi Jack,

As an online travel agent, you were very helpful by offering great service and reasonable prices. Thanks for your organization of several trips for me in China (e.g., Yellow Mountain, Beijing and Yangtze River cruise) and your advice and support were just great. The arrangement of car, guide, hotels, transportation and food was perfect and the prices were very good. I will recommend you to all my friends. Thanks again.

Hi Jack,

I’m back in Canada - the tour was good, exactly as promised, the boat was in good shape, the staff friendly, the food was good and varied and the drink packages were good value for money. There was a good mixture of western and Chinese and the crew managed to provide good communication for the projects. The scenery and trips were good and the crew night performances were excellent.

Thanks

Hello Jack,

I'm sorry that I have not been able to reply earlier but often I find my personal email is not easy to use when I am in China.

Our Yangtze Cruise went like a dream. The transfers worked well & we were able to spend some time on a short tour of the center of Chongqing which we had not anticipated. The Century Paragon was a beautiful experience. Everything was spotlessly clean and well presented. The tours were very good (we did not take the optional extra trips). At the end of the cruise our guide transferred us to Yichang SanXia airport in good time for our flight to Hangzhou.

We would like to thank you for all the smooth arrangements and will definitely be recommending your services to our friends.

Best regards

Dear Jack,

The weather wasn't great, but the rest was fine.

We were offered a discounted upgrade to suite on arrival, which we accepted. The cruise and sights were interesting, the food and service were good. We enjoyed the private forward-facing balcony. All in all, very enjoyable.

Thanks

Dear Jack Li,

We enjoyed the river cruise much. The staff on board was very engaged and the scenery was in spite of some rain and clouds impressive. The presentation of the Chinese medicine by the ship doctor has been of special interest for us. Everything went as it should!

Hi Jack

We have finally reached our new home in Kazakhstan after a month of traveling by train all the way from Saigon, Vietnam.

Without a doubt our Yangtze River cruise was the highlight of the trip and highly recommended. Not only is the scenery breathtaking, but the staff on board the Victoria Selina went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Everything from food to daily excursions left nothing to want.

Thanks once again.

Hi Jack,

I just got back from China after almost three weeks there. After the Yangtze River cruise I joined a tour with my sister and went to Xi'an and Shanghai.

The cruise and the sleeper train that you arranged for us went very well. The cruise was beautiful and we had English speaking guides on the two excursions. We managed very well taking taxis to and from airports, cruise ports and train stations.

Thank you for making the arrangements! I would recommend you to friends going to China and if I go back I will contact you again.

Sincerely,

Hello Jack,

I will be writing a trip advisor review shortly to recommend your services to any one that is wishing for a great tour of the Yangtze. I had a wonderful time and can not thank you enough for all your help. I was extremely excited to be able to pass through the ship locks and the scenery was amazing!  Overall the trip, accommodations, and transfer service was exceptional.

Thank you again for everything and best regards,

Hello Jack,

I want to give my compliments. The driver picked me up promptly at 5:00 am and not only did he help with my luggage and get my ticket, he waited with me since the train station was completely empty at that early hour. Extremely polite young man. I have arrived in Yichang and look forward to exploring the city before the cruise on Sunday. So far Yangtze River Cruises has provided exceptional service and made my travels very easy. I look forward to writing a positive review on trip advisor so that others who wish to travel to China will not fear and use your travel company.

Thank you for all the help.

Best Regards,
