Hello Elk,

We thank you Elk and your company for the excellent organization of our Yangtze 1 cruise!!! We had a very vivid experience. The beauty of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is mesmerizing and amazing! The cruise program was full and concise. We would like to express our gratitude to the Yangtze 1 cruise team, who worked very well. The food during the cruise was good and sufficient. The cabins were cleaned twice a day. The excursions were interesting. We will recommend our friends to take this trip along the Yangtze River!

Hello Jack,

I'm back home in Canada after a memorable stay in the wonderful country of China. The Yangtze River cruise aboard the Century Legend was beyond my expectations. I was the only Westerner on board, but the welcome I received from the crew members, and especially from the passengers, deeply touched me, and I will never forget them. Our daily excursions to the various sites (museums, temples, mountains, etc.), accompanied by bilingual guides (English/Chinese) who were always on the lookout for my understanding of the explanations given in Chinese, were greatly appreciated. I am still overwhelmed by it. I would like to point out to anyone reading this that I am 72 years old and that my 26-day trip to China: Beijing, Chongqing, and the 11-day Yangtze (Century Legends) cruise to Shanghai, was one of the most beautiful trips I have ever taken. Thank you for your excellent advice. I sincerely hope to be able to make the return trip from Shanghai to Chongqing in a few years.

Thank you again for your excellent service.
