Dear
Magical Japan, Magical China, Magical Indochina
2015
I
had a fantastic time in China & Japan, the guides were brilliant,
and the hotels were top-notch.The tour was really well put together
and well organized. Thanks for the trip of a lifetime! D
Reaves (Ultimate China & Japan)
Our
holiday to Japan was arranged by "Magical Japan". The
whole programme was excellent, the places to visit,the transportation,hotels
etc. Everything was absolutely smooth with no delays anywhere. That
i think goes for the country itself,everything is so organised to
the minutest details.
We
enjoyed every bit of our tour. We were very lucky to have an excellent
tour guide called Shima. She was extraordinary, spoke very good
english and nothing was too much trouble for her. Everyone liked
her manner and ettiqutes. Very polite and well informed. Overall
a memorable holiday ,highly recommended.
Dr M Dar (Ultimate Japan tour).
Overall
the holiday was excellent and we had a fantastic time. Our guide
Eriko was exceptional at her job - very knowledgeable, good humored
and patient. I have seen some incredible things and made memories
to last a life time. On the whole the hotels were of a good standard
and well placed. I would definitely recommend this tour and Magical
Japan to others as we had an incredibly interesting and enjoyable
holiday.
L Ainsworth (Grandeur of Japan)
We
enjoyed our trip very much. We were also lucky with the weather,
having fine weather all the time except in Hakone were we had a
foggy day! By arriving in Tokyo on 24th March the cherry trees were
not yet blossoming but first in Miyajima end then back in Tokyo
on 2nd April we had a marvellous afternoon in the UENO park with
thousand of cherry trees fully blossoming. We also enjoyed to be
in a small group with only 10 participants this being easier for
our excellent guide Midori to manage, especially in Tokyo were we
had to take very often the crowded subway.
M Rossi (Scenic Japan) Switzerland
Realistically
this was a once in a lifetime trip for us due to the high cost.
However, we thought it was a fantastic trip - thanks very much for
doing a great job organising it.
P wright (Magical Japan)
We
were on the Scenic Japan tour from 27 March to 11 April, including
a four day extension to Nagasaki. We enjoyed the holiday very much,
Our guide, Shima, was excellent: charming and knowledgeable, with
very good English. She was helpful to us in lots of ways. All the
places we visited were fascinating and we thought it was a well
planned itinerary. We were pleased with the Nagasaki extension and
would like to thank Paul for his help and advice with the hotel
and travel bookings. The trip was a great success and we would definitely
consider another holiday with you and would recommend your company
to our friends. B Dougherty (Scenic Japan)
The
tour was great, well organised and covered everything, hotels were
great and well situated. Train journeys ran smoothly and were easy
when you work out how the system works.
J Maggs (Snow Monkey and Scenery tour)
Just
wanted to say we a had great time! The efficiency of the whole trip
was exceptional! Shima our guide was fantastic. The country is probably
the best we have visited and we are well travelled. Really was first
class. My only comment is it would be more reassuring if you offered
Atol protection on trip. But that is only a comment not a criticism
as the whole trip was really great. Be in touch in the future.
T Ripley (Scenic Japan).
MJ feedback - Glad you had great holiday. For your information ATOL
protection is only available when flights are booked together with
a tour. If you book flights yourself ATOL cannot be provided. This
is a government requirement applicable to all UK registered travel
companies.
A
well organized and comprehensive trip with good variety. However
it was very busy, and involved more walking than expected. We liked
our guide, who was very attentive, enthusiastic and friendly, and
dealt with all arrangements efficiently. Overall, the tour exceeded
our expectations. Mr
& Mrs Fawcett (Grandeur of Japan)
Holiday
was really good with lovely weather and peak cherry blossom time
in Tokyo, Ueno Park. It was very well organised which made it easy
to get around an unfamiliar country. Special thanks to our guide,
Midori Koga, who made us feel very welcome and spoke excellent English.
Particularly resourceful when there was an incident on the train
line from Hakone to Shinjuku when her local knowledge ensured we
got to our destination by a slightly different route with minimal
delay.
D Livermore (Spirit of Japan)
Just
returned from Magical China and Japan,we had a fantastic time, the
hotels were great, the guides were brilliant, really looked after
us and the tours were excellent. Your whole service was first class
from start to finish in Britain,China and Japan and we would certainly
recommend you to anyone wanting to go to China and Japan Many Thanks
Tom Hedges
(Magical China and Japan)
How
would you rate your holiday experience: excellent. Wonderful trip
and excellent Value..
Mr and Mrs J Smith (Ultimate Japan escorted
tour)
We
had an excellent vacation. We quite heavily customised the tour
to fit our own wishes and despite this everything worked perfectly.
All the connections worked. All the tours were well organised. And
going "off-piste" was no problem. Thank You Magical Japan
-we had a great time! D
Hamid (Cultural Japan).
We
wanted to send you feedback from our wonderful trip to Japan. We
loved the small group under the guidance of our fabulous leader,
Erica, and with her we were able to navigate our way around the
metro stations, regular stations, Shinkansen stations, to name but
a few! None of us would have attempted this activity unaccompanied!
Erica looked after us so well and here are a few of her catch phrases
which we will always remember : ‘Thank you for waiting’ ‘I buy the
tickets’ ‘Do you need the toilet?’ Your itinerary certainly gave
us an insight into life across a wide ranging area of Honshu and
we loved every hectic minute of it! Please would you convey our
thanks to Erica: she was the ‘star of the show’.
C Lewis (Grandeur of Japan)
Hi
Paul, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you very much
to you and you team to make our holiday a memorable one. We had
a wonderful time and all along our journey we mate wonderful staff
and guides who took great care of us. The choice of hotels and the
tours was very good. The Japanese people are very helpful and very
polite. We had no problem in getting around various cities and town
in Japan. I would defiantly recommend you to my friends and family.
Once more thank you very much from all of us for all your help and
support you gave us. V
Patel (Enchanted Japan).
Thoroughly
enjoyed our tour of Japan this spring. The arrangements and organisation
were excellent,and everything ran smoothly. Our guide Eriko was
excellent and her advice and assistance was invaluable. The holiday
would not have been the same without her. I would strongly recommend
extending the holiday at the beginning and the end to get the most
out of your trip to Japan.
P Jones (Grandeur of Japan)
Dear
Ling, Lisa and team, We wanted to thank you for doing such a fantastic
job organising our 'trip of a lifetime' to China to celebrate my
birthday. I was worried you might cancel the trip because there
was only us two booked on it, but you honoured every detail and
I am so grateful and very happy! Despite such a hectic schedule,
everything ran like clockwork. All the guides were excellent - friendly,
efficient & knowledgeable, they went out of their way to look after
us. Tony in Shanghai, Ryan in Xi'an & Tina in Guillin were excellent,
but I don't want to omit the other guides either, as they were all
so good. We're vegetarians, and they made sure all the restaurants
knew beforehand - so we enjoyed some fabulous lunchtime banquets.
The speed and efficiency at diverting the crisis when an internal
flight was cancelled (due to the weather) astounded me; alternative
plans were made within minutes and we enjoyed another trip on a
bullet train! The drivers were also very good and the hotels were
excellent - I cannot fault this holiday at all. China far exceeded
my expectations, as did this holiday. I would heartily recommend
Magical China to anyone planning a trip to this incredible country.
Thanks & best wishes S
Robertson (Grand China and Yangtze Cruise)
We
rebooked with your company as last year we went with you to China
and Hong Kong which was excellent. This year the experience was
the same. We were met and escorted by our guides everywhere we were
supposed to and they helped us check in at our hotels. The standard
of accommodation was very good, the guides were knowledgeable, friendly
and had a good standard of English.The program was interesting,
varied and covered all the major sights within the time available.
Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend to anyone
looking to visit Indochina.
S Wright (Magical IndoChina)
I am just writing to let you know how much
we enjoyed our holiday in China, sorry for the delay in doing so.
We had a wonderful time. Your organisation was perfect and ran like
clockwork. Mr and Mrs Johnston (Ultimate
China & Yangtze Cruise)
From
start to finish the experience was perfect and gave us exactly what
we wanted; a great introduction to the wonderful country of China.
When our personalised itinerary took us away from the group we started
out with, we had our own driver and guide which made the holiday
even more special. Even the notorious traffic congestion did not
detract!!
J. Bodman (Scenic China)
It
was very enjoyable and I also feel I know much more about the country
now, and have a much better understanding of the people and their
culture.
F Dunstan (Magical China tour)
Guide
Mina was outstanding
and the driver very good. Inevitably, to cover the Korean peninsula
in 5 days necessitated a lot of travelling. The local guides were
most helpful and flexible when we asked to change the included half-day
Seoul tour to the DMZ. Transfers from airport to hotel and back
were flawless. All local people we dealt with during our week in
Korea were punctual and efficient. E Dabbs
(Magical Korea)
I
really enjoyed the vacation package that was provided by Magical
Indochina. It was really well put together and organized. Thank
you. Regards,
S Speers (Magical Vietnam and Cambodia (Ontario
Canada).
Hi
everyone at Magical Indochina First a big thank you for a memorable
holiday experience! We would certainly recommend your company to
all family and friends. Thank you once again for a great holiday.
W Lewis (Ultimate Indochina).
We
had an excellent holiday, and the itinerary and local guides etc.
were also very good. More often than not our expectations were exceeded.
There were many highlights but ones that immediately stand out were
the Halong Bay cruise, the cycle ride and visit in Hoi An, and the
cruises on the Mekong in Vietnam and from Luang Prabang. Overall
it was an outstanding trip and we'd happily travel again with Magical
Indochina and recommend the company to other travellers.
Mr and Mrs J Sigger (Ultimate Indochina).
We
had a lovely holiday and the arrangements went like clock work.
R. Barnacle (Magical Indochina)
I
had a great holiday, loved China and Tour guides Ryan (Xian) and
Susan (Chengdu) was amazing!!
L Morris (11 day China Encounter)
The
overall holiday was memorable. At the Terracotta Army site, it would
have been easier for the guide to choose a meeting place and time
for each section and allow the group to look round at their leisure
- we found trying to take photos and remain with the guide in such
a crowded tourist area almost impossible, thus loosing some of the
group. In Yangshou,they have punting on the River Yulong, which
we would have loved to do, but as we were being shown the countryside,
we did not have time. Would be a great addition to the tour.
S Proctor (19 day Ultimate China and Yangze
cruise)
I would like to thank everyone at Magical
China for providing us with the trip of a lifetime. Your service
was first class throughout. The holiday itself was fantastic and
I have and will recommend magical China to friends and colleagues
who wish to visit Asia. I McCulloch
(15 day Magical China)
Guides
- Excellent. They were prepared to make changes to the timetable
if there had been delays or changes to our internal flights. For
example, one flight was cancelled and the guide quickly arranged
for us to take a different flight, transporting all of us and our
luggage to another terminal and contacting the next guide via Magical
China offices to inform them of the change. The next guide arranged
for us to eat at a different restaurant due to lack of time. All
the guides were courteous and helpful, going out of their way to
make our visit as enjoyable as possible.
Hotels
- The hotels were clean and ranged from comfortable to luxurious.
Rooms were larger than would be expected in the UK, although the
window between the bedroom and bathroom was unusual! Reception staff
were helpful and spoke good English; other staff spoke less English
but were friendly and patient.
Holiday
Overall experience - A fantastic experience, we saw all the sights
we wanted to see, and some extra ones added on by guides when time
(and energy) permitted. China was even more beautiful and contained
more historical artefacts than I had expected. Although we had a
busy schedule, there was enough time to relax as well, especially
on the Yangtze cruise. I particularly enjoyed walking along the
Great Wall and seeing the pandas at Chengdu. The excursions were
well chosen to complement the holiday. G
Hough (Magical China and Yangtze Cruise).
I
had a fantastic experience on the 15 day tour in China! as I was
a single traveller going on my own, I was nervous about meeting
everyone else on the tour, but I needn't have worried as the vibe
we had as a group was brilliant. All in all a fantastic, memorable
experience. I will definitely recommend to all. all the tour guides
were professionals, friendly and talkative. hotels were great and
all tour attractions were great.
N. Kachhwaha (15 day Magical China tour)
The
tour was superb. The guides were brilliant - same high standard
as those in Vietnam/Cambodia you supplied us in 2013. I will put
this on TripAdvisor.
M Dougherty (15 day Essential China tour)
Travelled
to China in May 2015 through Magical China and I can honestly say
that I've had the best experience of a lifetime. The people that
I met on the same tour were brilliant and everything was very well
organised. I initially had my doubts because I travelled alone without
experience, but it turned out to be the best decision ever because
I made new friends and had a fascinating experience. Overall I am
very impressed with the service provided by Magical China and I
would happily recommend Magical China to friends, family and anyone
looking for the experience of a lifetime!
T. Adacan (11 day China Encounter).
We
had a fantastic holiday and were very impressed with the standard
of all the hotels. We liked the fact that the hotels all had a different
character. We really enjoyed the countless experiences that we had
which gave us our first "encounter" with China and got
on very well with the other members of our small group. We would
definitely consider another holiday with your company, when we've
saved up some more money!
A. Haubenschmid (China Encounter)
2014
We
had an amazing trip, to an amazing country. Everything was well
planned and we had no real problems getting to any of our destinations
etc. Being from the UK, it was often hard to believe our cases would
really turn up when and where we were told whilst we swanned off
on the Shinkansen, but they always did! All in all, an unforgettable
experience that will live with us for many years that had near military
planning and covered everything we wanted to see (if you want to
see the Sumo, check your planned dates/destinations first!) that
we were able to. We have only been back a week and are thinking
about how/when to get back there! We LOVE Japan!!!!
Mr and Mrs L Flint (Japan Snow Monkey and
Scenery Tour)
As
we travelled alone we had the opportunity to see and do things that
would have not been possible in a group. You do have to embrace
the ethos of the country and travel with an open mind. The assistants
that met us were very informative especially the lady in Kyoto the
hotel vouchers and train/ bus tickets were all spot on. We had our
luggage transferred this worked very well. The Myojinkan Ryokan
in Matsumoto was fabulous we were upgraded and had our own private
onsen. The best organised tour was in Kyoto were we travelled to
Nara and took the afternoon walking tour we had a guide and only
4 other people on the tour. D
Clarke (Splendour of Japan).
Excellent
customer service whilst booking the holiday: I was reassured as
a single female traveller that Japan would be safe for me, and this
I can now categorically confirm and am happy that I opted for the
unescorted holiday which gave me some freedom to see things outside
of the arranged tours. All trips and transport were arranged and
in place as advertised and the trains were easily negotiated. This
is definitely the way to travel around Tokyo. When following directions
given for hotel changes, need to make sure to leave via the train
station exit given: exiting via the wrong one adds to the exploration
of a new city, but for sure such a small slip can get you really
lost. Tour guides were very good and all spoke excellent English.
Thoroughly spoilt by first hotel in Tokyo, where I was given a family
room with 3 queen sized beds as a single room, for which the staff
were most apologetic. I met some great people from all over the
globe too. Only downside was that the holiday was not long enough
and there is plenty more to go back to see!
L Amor (Cultural Japan)
We
have just returned from an excellent holiday in Japan on the Magical
Japan trip. The accommodation was good, tour arrangements were excellent
and the UK staff were very good at answering our queries before
the holiday. We found the trip to be a well-balanced holiday covering
historical sites, the beautiful countryside, suitable amounts of
free time and opportunities to experience modern Japan - travel
on the bullet train and a very moving visit to the Hiroshima Peace
Park. Mr
and Mrs Failes (Magical Japan)
We
had a self-guided tour which meant we were given an itinerary and
a wallet full of tickets. All credit to Magical Japan, it worked
out perfectly. The balance between organised tours and free time
was about right. Overall, a very enjoyable holiday.
J White (Splendours of Japan)
Thanks
to you and Magical for arranging a fantastic tour of Vietnam, China
and Japan for us. Overall we have had a fabulous time and enjoyed
the trips that you have arranged.
Mr and Mrs T Cort (China, Japan Vietnam tailormade
tour) - Canada
We
really enjoyed our holiday with Magical Japan. The organisation
was very professional, everything worked like clockwork. We liked
all the hotels, with a special mention for the Grand Prince New
Takanawa in Tokyo. We enjoyed all the tours and learned much about
Japanese life and history in the process. It was a holiday we will
remember always.
J Leneghan (Cultural Japan tour)
We
have just returned from a wonderful 2 week holiday in Japan and
South Korea and we would like to thank you so much for all the arrangements
you made on our behalf. From the moment we arrived in Tokyo, until
we left Seoul, every single detail was taken care of. All the transfers
and tours were well organised and all the hotels were comfortable,
clean and within easy reach of tourist sites. I particularly appreciated
the flexibility which allowed us to spend 4 days under our own arrangements
in S. Korea which allowed us to visit our daughter who is teaching
out there.
S Price (Magical Japan and Korea)
We
had a really WONDERFUL time and thank you for organising not only
the main tour but also our trip to Nikko beforehand which went very
well. Excellent itinerary Great group except for one person (who
shall remain nameless) OUTSTANDING guide in Miki. She really was
good and so ‘right’ for our group. Quite one of the best we have
ever been with. S Warner (Scenic Japan Tour)
London.
A
very well organised trip, and great fun. Well done Magical Japan
tours! M Leggatt (Magical Japan) Edinburgh
Ultimate
Japan was an excellent combination of destinations, organised transport
and good hotels, and Shima, our brilliant and knowledgeable guide.
Add to this sun, snow(!) and cherry blossom we had a fantastic and
memorable vacation which we would recommend to anyone. J
Anderson (Ultimate Japan) Cambridge
Overall
an excellent holiday, though the weather was pretty rough I'm not
going to blame you for the typhoon! Small party meant we could lunch
in local restaurants together whenever we felt like it, which was
nice. Interesting to visit an onsen and traditional Japanese inn
rather than just Westernized hotels. Guide was willing to modify
tours a bit when we had weather problems as well. Enjoyed myself
a lot and have some great memories. W Moore
(Grand Japan tour)
We
had great time during Scenic Japan tour, thanks to the excellent
guide and great fellow travelers. Our tour guide Mikiko Kato provided
us with the inside view in Japanese life.Great experience. However,
the tour is intense, lot of activities to cover, require fitness
and endurance. Often public transportation is used and distances
had to be covered by foot. Magical Japan did their part of the work
professionally, hotels were decent and centrally located, ryokans
added to the Japanese feel , there were no hidden extras.
O Grupche (Scenic Japan Tour) Austria.
How
would you rate your holiday experience: excellent - In general the
tour worked very well. We liked the variety of activities from shrines
and temples to historic sites such as Shirakawa-go, castles and
gardens, not to mention Mt Fuji! Travelling by train in Japan is
a pleasure with lots of legroom and on-time trains guaranteed! We
appreciated the time to do "our own thing" as well. Most
meals were not included in the tour but this was fine as we found
Japanese restaurants to be extremely good value (though hotel restaurants
tended to be quite expensive) and there's always a convenience store
such a 7-Eleven or Lawsons nearby if you want to buy something there,
which we did. And there are vending machines everywhere - even selling
hot coffee in little cans and bottles! The convenience stores sell
instant coffee so we bought some of that to supplement the hotels'
provision. All hotels also provide all you need in the bathroom:
not only soap and shampoo but also razors and toothbrushes, combs
etc. The local guides provided interesting general cultural information
such as common gestures, counting to ten, making Mt Fuji from origami,
the Japanese belief systems etc. as well as historical information
related to the sites we were visiting. We thoroughly enjoyed our
time in Japan and look forward to visiting again.
P Gosden (17 day Japan FIT tour) Belgium
We
have just come back to England after an absolutely superb tour.
Everything you organised was spot on, nothing missing. The ryokan
was definitely a highlight. A big THANK YOU to all the team. C
Vanerem (Cultural Japan) Frodsham
First
class holiday. We would recommend staying an extra few days at the
end of the tour. A Slator (Ultimate Japan
tour) Worthing.
A
VERY WARM THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT MAGICAL JAPAN TOURS. EVERYTHING
PROMISED WAS DELIVERED, ON TIME AND TO A HIGH STANDARD. WERE THE
HOTEL IN KYOTO A BENCHMARK WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SATISFIED, HOWEVER,
THE HOTELS IN TOKYO AND OSAKA WERE OUTSTANDING. OUR TOUR GUIDES
WERE SUPERB, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL AND EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE. MY SON
AND I WOULD URGE ALL TRAVELERS TO BOOK THE OPTIONAL CYCLE TOUR OF
KYOTO, A SPLENDID WAY TO SEE THE BACK STREETS AND HIDDEN GEMS OF
THE CITY IN THE COMPANY OF A DELIGHTFUL GUIDE, THANK YOU KAORI-SAN,
THE HIGHLIGHT OF A BRILLIANT TOUR.
P Olliver (Japan Highlights + extra) Southsea
We
had a wonderful trip. The tour size was great and meant the guide
was able to be responsive and personalise small portions to suit
our group. The food choices were fantastic, and the hotels in the
main were great All of the guides & drivers were exceptional
- very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. S.
Lines (China Highlights)
Our
holiday with Magical China was indeed Magical! All our tour guides
were punctual, knowledgable and extremely curteous especially (Yung)
in Xian. We particularly chose Magical China because of the small
numbers to a group. In our case only 8 in Beijing and Xian and just
the pair of us with the tour guide in Chengdu, Guilin and Shanghai(our
own private tour!). We have so many great memories of our wonderful
holiday from climbing the Great Wall of China and toboganning down,the
terracotta soldiers and meeting the farmer who discovered them,
taking lunch in a family home, watching the face changing show,
seeing cormorants fish and even joining the local ladies dancing
in the park..... and much much more. China is truely a fascinating
place - a definate must for anyone's holiday destination. N
Baxter (Magical China Tour) West Sussex
Overall
we had a fantastic experience and enjoyed the trip immensely. The
organisation by Magical China was tremendous and the guides were
excellent. Mr and Mrs R. Lowe (17 day China
and Yangtze tour).
Hello,
I just wanted you to know that we were totally amazed by the tour
that you arranged for us. We were stunned by the wonderful sights,
the friendliness of the people and everything (except the hawking
and spitting everywhere). Hats off to you for the excellent planning
and arranging you did. True to your word there was always someone
at each airport/station to meet us and take care of everything.
The hotels were all very good to excellent. The only glitch was
due to a misunderstanding and again you managed to resolve the matter
to make the day for us, for which many thanks. All in all it was
our best holiday ever and for that many, many thanks. I would have
no hesitation in recommending you to anyone asking about a Chinese
holiday, thanks again, Best Wishes
Adrian Forber (Ultimate China and Yangtze
Cruise).
Fabulous
hotels, knowledgeable guides and great food. Transport and logistics
were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to others.
H Kemp (Magical China)
My
comments are that it was a wonderful holiday, lots to see, most
guides excellent - only one not good. Hotels and food excellent.
A great experience. It involved a lot of walking, climbing steps
and good mobility is needed. We found it quite tiring for our age
(72) but we kept up with the younger ones(mainly 45-60). What we
liked was the easy going arrangements with time to explore ourselves.
We were not regimented like some other companies holidays or conveyed
in large coaches. Our group varied between 4 and 9. We thought China
was a great country.
E Zamker (China Encounter).
An
excellent tour having never toured before I didn't know what to
expect but I would recommend any one visiting first time to do it
this way ! our tour guides were very knowledgable and passionate
about their culture. all the hotels were a high standard and all
of the meals provided were excellent and very enjoyable. I would
100 % rcommend Magical China.
M. McKerman (China Highlights)
Everything
was very well organised. We were met at every destination on time
by a driver and a guide all of whom were excellent. The tours had
a small amount of people, in fact very often there was only myself
and my wife in each destination. Accommodation and tours exceeded
all expectations. Overall a great experience and when we go back
to the far east we will definitely use the company again.
S Wright (Magical China).
I
just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how much we have enjoyed
the trip - it really was both fascinating and amazing at times.
We would like to say how well balanced we felt the tour was with
just the right amount of relaxing days. Thank you particularly for
the arrangements made for Jan's birthday - it could not have been
a better day. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to
anyone looking to make this type of trip and if lucky enough to
be making any trips to China or Japan will certainly come to you
first. Thanks again for a memorable trip.
Anne McKean (Ultimate Indochina)
We
had a wonderful two and a half weeks in China. The organisation
was excellent, we started as a group of ten but gradually throughtout
the tour each party went in different directions and we ended up
just the two of us in Shanghai and Hong Kong. The small group made
it easier to keep together, to keep to time but also to deviate
from the schedule if you all wanted to. It really was an amazing
experience, very busy but we saw an incredible amount in the time.
A Cassedy (China Highlights and Hong Kong)
We
are just back from a most enjoyable holiday. Your organisation of
guides to meet us at every step was immaculate and worked perfectly.
The guides too were excellent and spoke excellent English. The drivers
were very competent too. The hotels were all excellent. The holiday
was memorable and we shall keep our memories of it for many years.Thanks.
David and Chris Rees (Ultimate China and Yangtze
Cruise)
Had
a fantastic holiday, most of the tour guides went above and beyond
what was expected, especially in Beijing and Chengdu. Great holiday
experience and would recommend to anyone.
S Robb (Essential China + Hong Kong)
China
Holidays recommended, Excellent Organisation. Very nice vegetarian
food. Helpful guides.
R Surana (Grand China and Yangtze Cruise)
The
holiday was well organised and managed. The Hotels were overall
very good and in good locations. The guides were very helpful. We
had a very enjoyable holiday and experienced all the main tourist
attractions China has to offer.
S Cave (China Highlights and Yangtze River)
Just
returned from our trip it was wonderful ! our guides were fantastic
especially "ryan" who made sure that I had vegetarian food at every
meal! nothing was too much trouble. the whole experience was awesome,
I recommend any one to you x the only downfall that I would have
liked a little more time to soak in the atmosphere but think that
was down more to people on the tour wanting to do different things
M McKernan (Magical China Tour).
Overall
we were delighted with our tour - well done! The pace of the tour
was quite relentless, but we couldn't think of any day or place
we would want to leave out. So our recommendation is to add a day
to the length of the tour and have a 'quiet day' between the Vietnam
and Cambodia sections. The Victoria Nui Sam Lodge where we stayed
in Chau Doc would be perfect for this: little nature trails on the
hill but mainly superb for enjoying the infinity pool and the views
for miles and miles. Every single one of the guides was excellent,
and fascinating to talk to about the country. It will be a while
before we're able to visit the region again, but we won't forget
Magical and in the meantime have already been recommending you to
our friends.
M Boulding (Magical Vietnam and Cambodia
Tour
was organised very well. Tour guides were very good but must mention
Ryan who was our guide in Xi'an was exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed
being with him. All in all we had a great time in China.
K Khosla (Magical China).
Magical
China! That aptly sums up our view of our recent trip. During the
booking process Ling were extremely helpful and courteous, and arranged
the itinerary changes we requested without problem. Hotels were
of a good standard, tour guides were always in place to meet us
and were extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their particular
region of China. From the magnificent Great Wall to the spectacular
Terracotta Army, the stunning scenery of the Yangtze and Li rivers
and views of everyday life in cities and countryside, we were truly
impressed.
P Moss (Ultimate China & Yangtze Cruise)
A
great Holiday loved it the things we saw and did was a amazing thank
you.
J. Smith (Vietnam and Cambodia Highlights)
We
had an amazing trip. The organisation of transfers, hotels and tickets
to attractions were superb. Everything happened on time as planned,the
guides stayed with us to ensure we were checked in and comfortable.
I cannot fault Magical China and highly recommend it. G
Leadbetter (China Tropical paradise) Middlesex
I
cannot fault this trip, the tour agency were amazing .All their
guides spoke excellent english and were extremely knowledgeable
, courteous and helpful The drivers were all very safe and drove
carefully Hotels were well positioned and were very nicely appointed
The tour itinerary was excellent .......taking us to places that
we would not have found ourselves. So much was included as part

We
had a lovely holiday and met some very nice people, a memorable
experience. Once again a special mention about Ryan In xi'an, knowledgeable,
kind and passionate in his knowledge. E. Mitchell
(Grand China & Yangtze River)
Our
vacation in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia was a fantastic experience.
Everything worked just perfect. I would like to give my compliments
to Magical Indochina Travel for such very organized and interesting
trip you planned for us. You kept us entertained all the time! Every
day was a different and good surprise! The hotels overall were very
good, the greeting service at the airports also (guides always on
time waiting for us either at the airports or at the hotels), the
meals with local cuisine were a good experience, the guides were
very knowledgeable, polite and cooperative. The trip was overall
excellent!! I would like to highlight the guide in Saigon - Dang
Nhuit Quang - he did an outstanding job! Thanks for everything,
looking forward to travel with you again in the near future. L
Mota (Classic Indochina) Florida USA
We
have had a fantastic holiday thanks to Magical Indochina.The organisation
of the whole trip was amazing.We covered Cambodia and from the north
to the south of Vietnam.Our guides were always there waiting for
us and could'nt have done more for us,so welcoming and very knowledgeable.My
highlights were Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Sapa north Vietnam.I
highly recommend Magical Indochina and would not hesitate to recommend
them.Thank you again. H Weightman (Cambodia
and Vietnam Discovery) Kent
How
would you rate your holiday experience: excellent- We had a fantastic
trip, and most of the guides went above and beyond what we wanted
them to do. Ryan (Xian), Judy (Guilin) and our tour guide in Shanghai
were excellent. M Wilson (Magical China and
Yangtze River) London
2013
We
came home yesterday and just wanted to say what a fab holiday it
was. We thought Japan was just beautiful and there were plenty of
cherry blossoms despite them coming out a week earlier in Tokyo.
The tours all went very smoothly and we saw and experienced such
a lot. We even had a geisha come to chat to us in our meal at the
Tazuru ryokan.The peace memorial Park at Hiroshima was very moving.
After some heavy rain in Tokyo the first two days and then in Takayama
we had sunny weather and saw the top of Mt Fuji in a blue sky, sadly
only from the 4th station as the road was closed due to ice. We
even had an earthquake thrown in on the package which we felt from
200 miles away in bed in Hiroshima but we were thankful it caused
no damage at Osaka to prevent us getting home. We just had to take
a taxi from Shin Osaka to the hotel as the JR line seemed to out
of action with earthquake damage. Many thanks for all your work
putting the holiday together for us. We can certainly recommend
your company. Heather and Kevan Royle (Enchanted
Japan)
Holiday
was one of the best we have experienced. The tour guide Akito was
courteous and very helpful. Everything was organised in advance
and alternatives sorted if there was a change in plan due to weather.
There were 15 people on our trip and this was a nice size party.
Our highlight was that we were fortunate to see the Cherry Blossom
in full bloom and to view Mt Fuji. Or trip to see the Geisha show
was also a truly memorable experience. Japanese people were very
friendly and helpful. It really was Magical Japan.
John Northcott (Spirit of Japan Escorted tour)
I
was truly humbled by the experience.The hotels were superb.The people
were very courteous indeed and fascinating in there social behaviour.The
gardens were just stunning and the Todai-Ji temple was a fitting
climax to the later stages of the holiday - an unbelievable structure.
The guides were very well prepared and also they all seem to speak
three languages!!!! The tours were so informative,so much packed
into them,will take a G.P.s camera for the next Japan holiday. whilst
the holiday is the best yet (i'm thinking of perhaps S.Korea and
then Japan or even proceeding with China for my next tour). Best
wishes R Turner, Stockport (Classic Japan)
Fantastic
Trip, so much packed into such a short time! Thank-you very much.
We rate our holiday experience as excellent.
Kind Regards M David, Bristol (Grand China & Japan)
I
had previously booked day tours with Magical Japan before setting
off, therefore we didn't have the hassle of booking with anyone
else when we got there and everything was taken care of. The tour
guides were all lovely, experienced and knowledgeable which made
the trips. Any questions you needed to ask they would answer, even
if it wasn't relating to the trip you were on. Everyday was a different
experience and venture from Mount Fuji to the deer park to a 15km
cycle ride around Kyoto. We did love the cycle ride and would recommend
it to anyone. Our guide spoke brilliant English and had an excellent
knowledge of the area. Because there was only the three of us on
the cycle ride it was very personal. The main plus was we were able
to go off the beaten trail and see things that you normally don't
see on the tourist trips. We rode around the Gion area where the
Geishas lived and a Geisha wedding was taking place. Like i said
previously, I would recommend it to anyone and don't be put of by
thinking 15km (9 miles) is along way as it doesn't seem that long
as you are stopping every 20 minutes or so. Japan is a beautiful
country. Their people are so proud of their country and are humble
and will do anything to help you. L Bills,
Doncaster (Japan tailored tour)
Overall
a very well organized tour with good accommodation throughout the
whole 12 days. The assisted transfers and contacts at the airport
were always there, waiting for our arrival. For our tour, what seemed
like a lot of transfers and train journeys at the beginning was
actually very soothing and relaxing. Magical Japan answered all
our queries promptly and professionally and suggested various options
including the baggage transfer to ease the transfer stress. In essence
a wonderful holiday that showed Japan off in all its glory. Kind
Regards Mr & Mrs R Wheeler, Herts (Japan Snow monkey and scenery
tour)
We
rate our holiday experience as excellent. If you want a holiday
with a difference then this is it, using local and public transport
gave a greater insight into the lives of local people. Japanese
people were so friendly and helpful its a pity we British are not
more like them. The whole holiday was a fantastic experience, the
guide was fantastic and so helpful she was a joy to be with. Kind
Regards M Wood West Midlands (Spirit of Japan Escorted tour)
We
had an amazing time in Japan, we were made very welcome at our hotels,
the guides on our tours were very helpful and friendly and the gentleman
who met us at the airport was the first of many friendly and polite
people we met.It was a wonderful to ride on the bullet train and
see Mount Fuji, feel the buzz of Tokyo and the culture of Kyoto,
everything about this holiday was a pleasure and a wonderful experience.
Thank you to all at Magical Japan for organising transport,tours,
tickets and flights for us it made the experience more enjoyable.
Thank you. Mr & Mrs Keenan Great Yarmouth
(Japan tour)
Excellent
holiday experience: We had hoped to visit the Yaeyama Islands, but
the opening of the new airport on Ishagaki, made this expensive
and overbooked. Paul from Magical Japan Tours was most helpful &
patient and modified one of Magical Tours stock arrangements to
fit our personal requirements. All his arrangements worked perfectly
and we had an excellent visit with no difficulties and total confidence
that what you arranged would work as planned. Well done all concerned.
It made the holiday pleasant and relaxed. We'd recommend you to
anyone. many thanks Mr & Mrs Hale (Magical
Japan + tailored rquirements)
Many
thanks for the trip I've just had to Japan which you organised for
me. All your arrangements worked out, and I really enjoyed seeing
the country. Especially memorable was visiting Koyasan, and staying
at the Fukuchi-In. That was a day to treasure, a feeling one had
stepped out of normal life into somewhere very different. I wouldn't
have seen so much without your assistance. Yours
sincerely, Mr P. Rootham-Smith Cambridge (Japan Highlights + Mt
Koya extension)
Akiko-san
was an excellent guide, unflustered and helpful at all times, despite
the challenges of shepherding fifteen foreign tourists through the
excellent Japanese public transport network, using surface trains,
underground trains, buses and trams. On the occasions when the JR
pass could not be used the appropriate tickets materialised as if
by magic. Best wishes Mr & Mrs Futcher
(Spirit
of Japan Escorted tour)
The
booking process was easy and friendly. The holiday itenerary information
was good. However, a little confusing in terms of the baggage transfers.
Hotels were in the main excellent. However, the hotel in
Osaka let the side down as the room was small compared to what we
had experienced earlier in our trip. All hotels were centrally located
for ease of use of trains and subways. Tour guides knew their stuff,
were more than efficiently prompt, but we felt there was not much
time to take in the surroundings. There was however plenty of free
time to explore other aspects of Japan under our own steam though.
Tickets and travel vouchers were all provided in the destination
country delivered by friendly staff who made sure we had and understood
everything. On the whole a very enjoyable experience.
Ms D Lee (Japan Highlight Tour)
- Magical Japan advisory note: Unlike most of our
longer tours, the 9 day Japan Highlights tour does not include Luggage
transfer but it can be added as an option. The New Hankyu hotel
in Osaka, as it is one of the best hotels in its standard, which
is situated very close to the train station, thus making transfers
easy. Rooms can be little smaller than our other hotels in Tokyo
and Kyoto, but for most people they are perfectly adequate. However
our upgrade Osaka Granvia hotel is also conveniently located near
the station and we can arrange this if requested.
My
daughter and I had a very enjoyable tour of Japan. The hotels were
comfortable and conveniently located within the cities we stayed.
The tour included interesting places and the guides were good and
in some cases excellent. The transfers went smoothly and the transport
arrangements worked well. We felt the time in Osaka was a little
short, being only half a day. An additional day would have been
good to get a better feel for the place. Otherwise the length of
stay in each location felt about right. Kind
Regards T Dodd, London (Grand Japan)
This
was a fantastic holiday - our guide Aikiko was fantastic and really
added to the trip. She was so informed, organised and so helpful.
Nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly recommend Magical
Japan. M Martin Farrell, Dalkey Co Dublin
(Spirit of Japan Escorted tour).
We
had a wonderful well organised holiday. Everything went to plan
and we were very impressed with service we received. Guides were
always there to meet us from airports and to book us in to our next
destination . Guide ,Lee in Bejing , , Ryan in Xian and Julie in
Shanghai and Coleen who took us to cruise were all wonderful and
so full of knowledge about the area in China they represented. Hotels
were all brilliant and provided for our every need . Cruise was
a wonderful adventure with nice cabin and food and all staff were
friendly and wanted you to have a great time everyone on board.
The trip was amazing and the personal touches like providing water
in our hotels and in the car were very welcome Thank you for a first
class holiday. I have also shared our experiences with colleagues
and friends who may like to visit China in the future . Kind Regards
Carol and Vic Hatton, Kent (China Highlights

This
was a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and lived up to most of our expectations.
Mr T. Cooper, Cornwall (China Highlights with

My
wife and I have just returned from a fantastic trip with your company
to the above destinations. Fascinating trip. The whole trip went
very well without any major problems and any minor alterations required
were dealt with professionally by all your staff involved in the
various countries. We would be happy to recommend your company to
any body wishing to see the true "indochina". Thanking you for your
help and once again thanks for a fantastic insight to a world so
different from ours. Kind regards Mr &

We
would rate our holiday experience as good. Generally the quality
of the guides was very good. They were keen enthusiastic and seemed
really glad to be with us. Mr Easterman (China

Overall
we would rate the holiday as Excellent. Our
holiday was very well thought out it gave you a great insite into
the every day lives of the river people and the village people as
well as the places of interest in the cities every day there was
something that surprised us very good guides and drivers and hotels
were excellent there was nothing I would fault. Mrs
M, Smith & Mrs A. Ried, Hawick (Vietnam & Cambodia Discovery

Excellent
holiday. Guides, hotels & transport all rated as excellent,
It was a great experience and the food was wonderful. We felt the
holiday was great value. All the sights we seen in such a short
time, very tiring, but well worth it! Thank
You. Mrs M Halliday and friends, Warrington

We
had a great holiday, the itinerary was very varied and gave us a
good insite to the countries as well as seeing the great iconic
temples. Fascinating trip. We would rate holiday Excellent. Kind
Regards B Curtis
(Bangkok Cambodia and
Vietnam Discovery tour)
Hotels and Tour Guides all excellent and overall we had an Excellent
and thoroughly enjoyable holiday.
We would recommend you to family / friends. 'In our opinion', the
Visa Approval Letter for Vietnam is not recommended due to the longer
delay at the airport when compared to obtaining a Vietnam Visa beforehand.
Mr & Mrs D. Lowe, West Sussex (Bangkok
Cambodia and
Vietnam Discovery tour)
Because
we were just 3 people on the tour, it became effectively a good
tailored trip, where it was easy to adjust anything to our specific
needs, eg no bike ride, replacing it with a walk. Also, we did not
want to spend very long in the Ho Chi Minh Tunnels area, so that
part was successfully streamlined. Similarly, the Hindu temple in
Saigon was important to us, so we went there instead of time in
the market. During
our trip we had 9 guides. They were brilliant. Especially perhaps
the young lady in Saigon and the lady in Phnom Penh were particularly
excellent, But so were the very cultured man in Hanoi and the very
informative man in Sapa. All were very helpful and consistently
knowledgeable with excellent English. Perhaps almost as crucially,
they knew when to give us space.
Of
the places we visited, probably the most remarkable was Sapa with
its friendly ethnic minority people in beautiful everyday costume,
often topped off with a motor-bike helmet. But so was the Anghor
Wat complex marvellous! And so we could go on: Hoian, Mekong Delta...
The food was delicious and we never had any tummy problems. If we
were to plan the tour again, we feel we would give ourselves at
least one clear day for relaxation at a hotel either by the sea
or with a pool. A lot of our hotels did have pools, but we never
had time to use them because there was so much we wanted to see.
On our last day, before we had to go to the airport, we spent a
few very relaxing hours (at our guide's suggestion) in the Grand
Hotel, where we had lunch and a swim. Finally, it is only right
to mention Ling who gave good and very patient advice and help throughout
the booking process. Mrs
E Brochwicz-Lewinski & party (Vietnam & Cambodia Discovery

We
loved Japan and the tour was a great introduction to this very special
country. The tour guides were fabulous and the pace of the tour
was great. We enjoyed having some free days to find our own way
around. Ms C Milligan, New Zealand (Magical

Just
wanted to drop you a quick email now that we are back home from
our visit to Japan. I would just like to say thank you for making
all the arrangements and that everything worked out perfectly. Overall
the tour you provided for us was very enjoyable and good value for
money, all the planning and pick up times were all very prompt.
We had a fantastic time and thank you. Mr
D Smith, Yorkshire (Magical Japan Tour)
I've
just got back from an amazing time in Japan. It was one of the best
trips away I've ever been on. Just thought I would write you a quick
email just to say thank you for sorting everything out for me, I
couldn't have hoped for it to go any smoother, everything was brilliant.
Looking forward to booking more trips with yourselves in the future.
Thank you! J Hargreaves Chorley, Lancashire

Just
to let you know that Mrs Taylor and myself had a fantastic time
in China. The pandas were one of our favourite parts of the tour!

of visiting China. Kind regards Mrs S. Puddeford,

Good
morning. Just a short note to thank you for the arrangements you
made for our visit to Japan. They were delivered flawlessly in great
part through the efforts of the English speaking guide who was with
the driver to meet us in Osaka. She helped make the transfers easy.
The train trip, Hotel, City tour and Limo service to Narita were
all wonderful. I shall tell our Travel Agent about your company.

Well
we’re back after a wonderful but very exhausting trip, The hotels,
guides, drivers and cars were excellent overall. The places visited
were wonderful and the scenery and tour around Sapa was exceptional.
In all we were very lucky with the weather. We would highly recommend
Magical China after our experience. Happy New Year and all best
wishes Mr & Mrs Merry, Alicante, Spain
(24 day Vietnam,
Cambodia and Laos tailormade tour)
We
had a super time with Magical China, all our connections were on
time and even when one of the internal flights was delayed due to
bad weather, the guide was waiting for us, some 3 hours later. The
tour guides were very good and helpful. The pace was just right
with time to spare to look around and try some of the local foods.
The hotels were all modern and the buffet breakfasts was very good,
the best hotel was in Beijing because it was in an older part of
the city and we could look around. The highlights were the Terracotta
Warriors (which were better then expected) the Giant Panda Reserve
(walking in this beautiful tropical park, enjoying these lovely
animals) and the Yangtze River cruise. The only problem was the
crowds, as we went in August, all the sites were very busy, the
weather was hot at 40c most of the time. Anyway we would highly
recommend this holiday, a truly wonderful experience that we will
never forget.
Mr and Mrs Nelson, France (China Highlights with Yangtze cruise)
We
have had a very good holiday in Japan. regards
T. Hatlebakk, Sandnes, Norway (Japan tour)
Just
thought I would get in touch and let you have some feedback on our
trip - we actually got back on Friday night and have only just resurfaced.
Anyway we had the most wonderful time. The tour arranged by you
was fantastic, well organised and generally a high quality. The
highlights for us would have been Halong Bay (even with the misty
weather), the day in Hoian bike riding and on the fishing boat,
the Mekong Cruise and the Ankor Wat trips. The guides were all very
good ,, thanks for all your service throughout what has been a magnificent
experience. Many thanks. C. Romaine,Tunbridge

I
want to say a huge THANK YOU from the four of us for the really
amazing tour we organised through Magical Indochina. Everything
from the welcome, breakfast, location and staff were unbeatable.
We did an awful lot in a short space of time but your organisation
was faultless. We never had to wait for our transport, guide and
everything was delivered as you stated in your itinerary. Our two
favourite places were Hanoi and the day we spent on the Mekong Delta
which was quite amazing. Your tour guides are also highly recommended
and the standard of guides and drivers was again excellent. We have
and will continue to recommend you and if we do venture to this
part of the world again we will most definitely book with yourselves.
Many thanks. Mr & Mrs Frost and Mr &
Mrs Rose, Gaddesby, Leicester (Vietnam and Cambodia tour)
I
returned from the tour at the weekend and I enjoyed it very much,
as well as the people and guides I met in the various groups. The
stay at the Sofitel hotel at the final stop in Shanghai was excellent.
It was in a very convenient downtown location and because my departure
was in the evening they allowed me a late checkout which I greatly
appreciated. Regarding the trip itself, I enjoyed all of the places
but maybe my favourites (perhaps because of the age factor) were
the Chinese gardens we visited, and the boat trip along the Li River.
Best regards, Mr Ian Odger, Australia (16
day Grand China Tour)
Thank
you, We are having a great holiday. Kind regards
R. Reece, Watford (Japan Highights tour)
We

I
hope that you are well. We have nearly recovered from jet lag and
would like to tell you a bit about our holiday. All the hotels were
excellent and the Beijing International hotel was ideally situated
enabling us to visit the Forbidden City; the Square and the market.
The Lama temple and the Olympic Stadia were magnificent. We were
also impressed by the Longman Caves and the White Horse Temple in
Luoyang; and the Shaolin Temple was a special treat. Guilin and
Yangshuo were not to be missed as was the cruise along the Li River
with it's magnificent scenery. The icing on the cake was the Liu
San Jie Show which was spectacular with it's setting, lighting,dancing
and singing. The wonders continued with our visit Fubo Hill and
Reed Flute cave, and then on to Shanghai and the Yu Garden; and
the Bund with it's futuristic buildings. Finally , and too soon,
was our visit to Hong Kong. The Royal Plaza is an excellent, well
situated, hotel. The tour of Hong Kong Island was excellent. We
were also able to explore Kowloon, it's shops; markets; park; the
art museum; a trip on the ferry; a tramcar ride; and see the spectacular
Laser show on the front. We were able to use the underground train
in all three cities; and were pleased to meet and talk to the local
people many of whom were learning English and wanted their photographs
taken with us. The two weeks were fully occupied and alive with
excitement and the scenery was spectacular, summed up a truly Magical
holiday. Many Thanks and kind regards, Mr
& Mrs Rigby, Warrington (15 day China Tailormade tour)
I
just wanted to say a really big thank you to you for all of he work
you put into making our holiday a success and a wonderful experience
, Japan was not on my list of places to visit it was my son that
wanted to visit this country , how ever I went along not expecting
to really enjoy the experience what a shock I had , the people the
culture the food the country were just fantastic , the people were
so friendly we were meet by a guide at the airport and she made
sure we were on the right bus and going to the right hotel . All
aspects of this tour were worked out beautifully , our guides were
just brilliant and worked so hard to make our trips a success ,
hotels and the staff at these hotels were just great and so helpful
if we need help with any thing. We used public transport to move
about i.e. mostly trains , I must say the trains were superb and
always on times the staff on these trains were so helpful . So all
in all this was a fantastic holiday , I would not hesitate to use
magical Japan again in the future , in fact we intend to go to Vietnam
with you in March of 2012. Once again thank you for organising a
really fantastic holiday . Mr Presley &
son. Gloucestershire (Essential Japan Tour )
We
got back from Japan yesterday and wanted to thank you all at Magical
China for a wonderful experience - I say experience because I don't
think the word "holiday" defines what you organised for us. We have
been thoroughly impressed with everything: our guides in China were
excellent, as were the hotels, and the food was delicious from start
to finish. We were pampered and yet the guides and drivers easily
adapted to our particular needs and desires. Our greatest thanks
go out to all of them: Jason in Beijing, Cris in Xi'an, Joe in Wuhan
and Paul in Chongqing, as well as the drivers and the 1-day guides
on the cruise. Mr & Mrs Stanway, Leeds
(18 day Magical China & Japan)
Just
to let you know that we had an amazing time in South Korea. The
Korean Veterans Official Visit was exceptional and we were looked
after and treated like royalty! Our trip to the Seorak National
Park went well too. Our guide and driver were very good and we were
taken to lots of interesting venues. The weather was cooler than
England during our stay in Korea and we had a couple of rainy days.
Our day in the mountains was, of course, very cloudy, but it did
clear in the afternoon and we saw the mountain tops! We even managed
to watch the Royal Wedding on our last evening in Seoul. Many thanks
for your help. Best wishes, Mr & Mrs Rogers,Herts

We
have just returned from our "Grand China" trip and I am writing
to thank you very much and to say how much my wife and I enjoyed
the holiday. All of the travel arrangements were extremely well
organised and you even seemed to arrange very good weather for us!
We appreciated the small size of the tour group - 12 when we started
- which diminished as time went on to just the 2 of us, the other
members of the group choosing different itineraries on their tailored
holiday. As a group we were surprised that there were so many options
catered for and were impressed with your ability to negotiate the
different requirements so efficiently. Everything went like clockwork!
So impressed were we with the whole package that we have this morning
recommended Magical China to some friends who are planning a holiday
to China next year.
Mr & Mrs Whiting, Kamberley, Surrey (15
day Grand China with Hong Kong extension)
I
am sorry it has taken me so long to contact you but I wanted to
tell you what a wonderful time we had on our holiday. We loved Japan
and had a fantastic holiday. All the arrangements were perfect and
we would certainly choose to book our holiday through you again
if we are lucky enough to return to Japan. Thank you for arranging
such a wonderful holiday for us. Kind regards,
Mr & Mrs Bradbury, Odiham Hook, Hants (Cultural
Japan tour)
Just
a quick note to leave feedback from our recent Splendours of Japan
tour. The overall impression of the holiday was excellent. We had
a wonderful time, we loved Japan and we hope to go back again some
day.
The
meet-and-greet at the airport was flawless and we had no problem
with any of the prebooked tickets. It's worth noting that the Kyoto
Tour have a desk hidden away at the back of the lobby of the Hotel
New Miyako in Kyoto, and you need to actively find it and check
in for the tour rather than hanging around in the lobby waiting
for the guide as you do for all the other scheduled tours.
We
really enjoyed all four tours included with the holiday, and would
praise the guides who went out of their way to give us extra information
about Japan, its history and its culture.
Thank
you for helping us. This was an exceptional holiday for us - not
something we do every day - and we had a wonderful time. We would
recommend your service to other users. Arigato gozaimasu K

much - we wish we were still there! Thank you again and I will recommend
Magical China/Magical Japan to anyone thinking of visiting Japan.

Just a thank you email for all your hard work and advise on our

am so glad we went to Yangshou at the end-it was fantastic. Thank
you again. Dr. Patel, Essex (China Tropical

was faultless and everything went very smoothly. Thank you so much.
We will certainly recommend your company to our friends and family.
Regards, Mr & Mrs V Louizos, Surrey (Cultural
Japan tour)
We
took the tour with you and just got back yesterday. Just to give
you a ring to say, we had a fantastic time really. Thank you very
much in deed for what a lovely time we had.
We
are just writing a few words to say how much we enjoyed our holiday.
Everything
went well - flights, food, hotels, arrangements, even the weather
was good. Most of all the hospitality of the Japanese people.
We
both sincerely thank you for your arrangements. Mr
& Mrs F Williams, Gwynedd (Samurai Japan tour)
2008
I
thought I would drop you a line following our recent return from
China.
We
booked the holiday with Diamond Bridge, as it was a part of the
world we had never been to before and thought we would never go
again. However, we had such a good time in both Japan & particularly
China that we may well return one day.
The
group arrangements in Japan were great although the tours were pretty
hectic and we would probably have been wise to have had a lazy day
in the middle. We were a little more apprehensive about the China
part. However, the arrangements were superb we were met at the exit
gate in Xian by Ana and a driver and for the next three days were
escorted to and from our hotel, and on various tours throughout
the area. The same applied for the three days in Guilin from the
time we were collected at the airport by Irene and a driver until
we dropped off for the flight back to Hong Kong (where we were again
met and escorted to our hotel.) During the week we were in China
we really enjoyed virtually all the varied meals we ate. Ana & Irene
(and the drivers) were lovely we had such great fun with them and
they were very very helpful. As an example we told Irene that we
had been told to take the night river cruise in Guilin. Instead
of merely telling us where to pick up the trip she and the driver
returned to the hotel in the evening to take us there and back and
she then took us to a local restaurant before catching a bus at
9 p.m. for her hour long ride home.
This
visit has changed for ever all our poor conceptions of Japan & China
and its people and we would have no hesitation in recommending your
company for any of our friends thinking of doing a similar trip.
Thank you Ling for all your help. Mr &
Mrs L & B Goldsmith, Kent (Private group tour in Japan, private
tour in China)
I
got back from China on Sunday and would like to thank you for the
wonderful time I had there. I cannot praise enough the planning
and co ordination of the trip. Whereever I arrived a guide was waiting
for me and on every departure they did not just see me to the airport
but helped me get my luggage checked in and waited until I was through
the security checks and on my way to the plane. The guides and drivers
were all so helpful and charming.
I
had been a little nervous of travelling on my own but I was very
happy with the small group I was with. I had not realised I would
be a lone traveller from the cruise onward but I was treated with
such friendliness and kindness by your team and the people of China
that I had a wonderful holiday. The cruise was out of this world.
The hotels were all first rate, the trips were interesting and informative.
Every day I thought ' this must be the highlight of the trip' but
each new day brought another fabulous experience, from walking on
the Great Wall, to stroking a panda and walking in the gardens of
Suzhou. I had wanted to see a Chinese Opera and your guide in Chengdu
arranged a ticket to the Shu Feng Ya Yun opera house/ tea garden
which was wonderful. I was really impressed with the pride and knowledge
which each guide and driver had of their area.
China
is a fascinating country. I shall be saving up for another trip.
Thank you very much, the holiday has exceeded all my expectations.
p.s. Also the suit that I had made in Wuhan at the silk tailors
arrived yesterday. If you could pass on my thanks to Lucy in Wuhan
for arranging the visit I should be most grateful. Ms
P Rusch, Bradford (19 day Grand China with Yangtze Cruise and HK
add on)
We
just want to say a big thank you. Everything went without a hitch
all the planning and organising went perfectly on schedule, the
Chinese guides were all helpful and cheerful all the time which
put us at ease. We are elderly my husband 74 me a little younger,
but apart from puffing a lot we managed top keep up with younger
people in our group. We found the food good and they were aware
of our western eating habits. I did find the toilets a bit difficult
if one cannot use them properly but there were :happy toilets as
the guide would tell us, meaning toilets we are used to. I would
defiantly go again and have already recommended your tours to my
friends. Thank you once again for changing our itinery at our request
at short notice. Mr & Mrs Griffiths from Kent
(15 day China Highlight with Yangtze Cruise)
We
have just returned from our 14 Day Magical China tour, and it really
was a holiday of a lifetime. I had my concerns about booking with
an internet company I had not heard of before, but I needn't have
had any worries. The holiday ran like clockwork, with someone there
to meet us at each destination and transfer and check us into the
hotel. The local tour guides even checked us in at the airports
and waved us off! With such a small group (6 people in total) the
holiday was relaxed and flexible, and I felt sorry for people with
other tour operators that were being led round by their guides along
with 30-odd other people! We saw and did so much in 2 weeks, and
because each guide was local to the area (the guides were all wonderful!)
we got a real feel for each place and learnt a lot about the history
and culture. We were very pleased to be able to spend a night in
Yangshou after the Li River cruise, where most other tour companies
drive back to Guilin straight away.
It
was a bit disappointing to realise that we were being given Chinese
food as they think Westerners would like it, as opposed to real
local dishes, but we made it clear that we hadn't come all this
way to eat Western food and thanks to our guides in Xi'an (Ryan),
Guilin (Alice) and Shanghai (Anna) we began to go to restaurants
where we could sample the local specialities.
The
Magical China Tour was more than I had dreamt it would be, and gave
us wonderful memories of China! Thank you for such an amazing trip.
Miss J Saunders & Mr J Letley, Surrey (14
day Magical China)
I
returned from Beijing and the Olympic Games last week, spent a week
in London and returned to my home yesterday. I wished to say 'thank
you' for arranging such a marvellous experience. The games were
exciting, Beijing ever more impressive (I was last there eight years
ago and the city must have been rebuilt three times since then!!),
and the people very friendly and helpful.
Thank
you again for all you hard work - it was worth it! Regards, Mr
A Prosser, Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancs
The
Holiday was truly Magical, nothing stands out because everything
was better than expected. All the Hotels and service were excellent,
the Ryokan was something we were not looking forward to as we thought
we would make a huge cultural mistake, but we were made to feel
at home and welcome. All the connections worked to perfection, Japanese
Trains are on time and make our Trains look dirty and old. We had
a lovely time with our Nephew.
If
you ever go to Japan and feel you need a break from the City and
normal Tourist haunts, Shikoku is a real surprise. The train journey
crosses one of the most Magnificent Bridges, over the Inland Sea,
plus the ride down to Gomen goes through a magnificent River valley.
I think the most impressive part of Japan is the Service you receive.
Go into a Seven Eleven convenience Store at 9pm on a back street
and you are made to feel welcome and important, so different to
here. The People are reserved, but if they feel that you need help
they will willingly offer it. We both agree it was A Holiday of
a lifetime, Thank you for the work you put in to make so special.
Mr & Mrs A Ireland, Cornwall (9 day Japan
Highlight)
The
holiday was fantastic. We all enjoyed ourselves and found the country
most interesting .The arrangements you made for us were first class
and we were looked after very well at all times. Mr
& Mrs K Allen, Lytham (15 day Grand Japan)
2007
We
have just returned from a very enjoyable and interesting visit to
Japan. This was made even more pleasant and relaxing because of
the excellent arrangements made by you. We had a good welcome at
the airport and were handed the appropriate vouchers for use during
the stay. Whenever transport was due messages of confirmation were
left at the hotels and it always arrived at the stated time providing
a stress free stay for us. Thank you very much, Magical Japan. Kind
regards, Mr & Mrs Pannell, Fakenham Norfolk
(10 Days Magical Japan)
Just
a short note to say that we all enjoyed our Magical China holiday.
It was very well organised with good hotels, excellent guides and
travel arrangements. My wife and I will defninitely consider returning
to China again in the next two years, possibly to include an Yangtse
river cruise and trip to Japan so will most likely call you again
in the near future. So thank you for your assistance. Regards, Mr
& Mrs Inseal, Epsom, Surrey (14 day Magical China with Hong
Kong add on)
Hello,
A somewhat belated thank you for a fantastic holiday. Your organisation
worked like clockwork, only one flight out of seven delayed for
1 hour, not your fault obviously!! All the guides were excellent,
especially Jack, who was with us in Beijing, Xian and Wuhan. We
discovered he had once been China’s ambassador in Zimbabwe, so you
should be able to track him down. The last minute changes we made;
upgrading on the Yangtze, and adding in the trip to the Panda Centre
were well worthwhile, thank you for getting them arranged at short
notice. If you would like us to give you anything to put on the
website, we would be pleased to help. Mr &
Mrs A Catt, Bartley Hampshire (15
days China Encounter with Yangtze River 5

We
have just returned from our holiday booked through Magical China
"China Encounter with Yangtze River Cruise & Chengdu Panda Centre",
and thought we would drop you a line to say how impressed we were
with the holiday. We both had a fantastic time and all the arrangements
ie hotels, transfers, itinerary were all very good. Special note
regarding the guides who were very helpful, knowledgeable and spoke
good english. Thanks for a very enjoyable holiday. Regards, Miss
R Rogers & Mrs C Muir, Exeter (15 days China Encounter with

Dear
All at Magical Japan, I am writing to let you know that our holiday
to Japan was all that we were hoping for and more. We had a wonderful
time and everything went beautifully to plan. The Japanese people
were very friendly and helpful and the country is so beautiful -
I really fell in love with Takayama in particular and our hotel
there was superb. Our private tour guide was wonderful - she did
a brilliant job and really helped to make our time in Japan special.
On our last day we thought we would complete our experience - so
we hired a kimono to walk around the shop in. I am attaching a photograph
of myself (the one on the right) and my sister-in-law in our kimomos.
I hope you like it because we didn't stop laughing whilst we were
wearing them. Thank you for arranging a wonderful holiday for us.
Kind regards, Mrs A Hodson, Walsall W Midlands
(11 day Classic Japan tour)
Hi,
just back fron China and Japan, really excellent holiday, superb
guides, everything went so smoothly we were amazed by your forward
planning. Thanks. Mrs M Preston, Chorley Lancs (19
day Magical China & Japan)
Hi,
just wanted to say 'thanks' for arranging my trip last week - I
had a spectacular time and everything went according to plan (apart
from the weather on the odd occasion, but I guess I can't hold you
responsible for that!). I still can't get over the punctuality and
politeness of everyone - and the bullet train really colours your
view of trains in the UK! I may well be in touch to arrange a trip
to China later in the year! thanks again for your help and advice.
J Hall, Norwich (9 day Essential Japan tour)
Just
to let you know I have had a wonderful time in Japan - I have met
so many people from all different countries and done so much! It's
all a bit of a blur at the moment and I am trying to get my photos
sorted out. Received some from South Korea and Germany yesterday!!
The Japanese people were extremely kind, friendly, polite and helpful
while I was out there and I have a lot of happy memories from my
10-day tour. Thanks for everything. S Taylor,
Gerrards Cross Bucks (10 day Magical Japan tour)
Got
back from our Japan trip yesterday. We had a brilliant time. Many
thanks for all your hard work in making sure things went so smoothly.
P Edwards & J Dawson, Alderley Edge Cheshire
(10 day Magical Japan tour)
Just
had to drop you a line to say how brilliant our Magical China holiday
has been. Everything was so professional, we could not believe that
booking a holiday on the internet could produce such an amazing
holiday. The guides were all so good, especially Andy in Beijing
and Li in Guilin. We have had the most wonderful experience of our
lives, and the sights and sounds of China will stay with us always.
Thank you so much for everything. Kind regards, Mr
& Mrs Sturgess, Somerset (14 day Magical China)
We
have recently returned from our holiday - China Encounter with Yangtse
Cruise - and would like to tell you how much we enjoyed it. We had
a WONDERFUL time. The arrangements went like clockwork - the very
efficient and helpful guides met us wherever we went and gave us
a great time. The hotels were excellent, the itinerary really good
- we did so much in the short time we were in China (two weeks)
but it was all at an enjoyable, leisurely pace and was thoroughly
enjoyable. ALL the guides were excellent, but Ven in Zian and particularly
Joe in Beijing deserve special mention. Joe was so helpful and ensured
we were happy with what we were doing, he was especially helpful
on our arrival (first time in China) and also on our departure when
we arrived at Beijing airport at midnight, and had to be back there
at 8 a.m. I cannot speak too highly of him. Thank you for arranging
this fantastic holiday - your arrangements could not be faulted.
We really did have a magical time! Mr & Mrs
H Bowler, Gawsworth CHES (16 day China Encounter with Yangtze Cruise)
I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for our great holiday in China.
It all went perfectly smoothly and we enjoyed every bit. The guides
were excellent, as was the itinerary. Many thanks again. J
Hosken, Esher Surrey (14 day Maigcal China tour)
You
have very friendly and helpful tour guides, the drivers are also
excellent! It is a shame about the smog, but overall a very good
holiday! We would definitely recommend Magical China. A
Peet & L Benn, Chester (14 day China & Japan Highlight)
My
wife and I applaud you for the wonderful trip to China we have just
completed. All your plans fell into place exactly on time and we
were not let down at any stage by anything going wrong. However,
may I presume to offer advice. I am in my 70s, it
would be advisable to make a very clear warning to all would be
holiday makers that there is much climbing and older people should
consider their fitness and agility to cope with such pressures.
Mr & Mrs R Hudson, Market Rasen (10 day
China Highlight)
Magical
China spoke to Mr Hudson regarding his comments, and received a
2nd letter from the travellers:
A
word or two of appreciation for all your effort and planning that
went into organising our eventful and exciting trip to China recently.
The
arrangements went like clockwork. Travel plans were superb, the
tour guides in each of the cities we visited were very friendly,
helpful and knowledgeable and went to a lot of trouble to ensure
our enjoyment of everything on offer; and the meals given to us
were well thought out and delightful to our English palate. If
I have any slight adverse comment to make at all, it would be that
we were taking on too much site seeing and this made it difficult
to embrace and enjoy all that we were being shown and told about.
Overall,
my wife and I give full marks for an excellent visit to this wonderful
country, with so much history, culture and colourful interest. Thank
you for your help in organising this trip. Your sincerely, Mr
& Mrs R Hudson, Market Rasen
Magical
China thanks our customer's for his comments. We have acted in amending
our Travel Essential Information to highlight that the Great Wall
requires a certain degree of fitness to climb. It is however, worth
mentioning that our tours are designed to be at a leisurely pace
when compare with some other tour operators.
A
thoroughly enjoyable holiday - thanks!
Mr & Mrs J Peters, Northants (14
day China & Japan Highlight)
Chengdu
area has scenery and sites which are diverse and amazing. Your guide
represented the area very well! D Nicholls
& A Scott, Hertfordshire (China to Tibet via Mt Ermei)
Really
enjoyed the trip. I found Tibet the most fascinating place. I was
very surprised and saddened that Beijing and Chengdu are so un Chinese
in their architecture that one could have been almost anywhere in
the developed world. I really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank
you. J Whyms, Dronfield (China to Tibet via
Mt Ermei)
2006
Sorry
it has taken me so long to contact you, but I just want to say how
much we enjoyed our holiday in China. The organisation was excellent
and the trip was very well planned. The guides were reliable and
helpful and their local knowledge made places come alive. We enjoyed
all the different food we had and particularly welcomed the opportunities
to mix with local people. We hope to return to see more of China
in the future. Thank you. S Ridgway and V
Besag, Newcastle upon Tyner (19 days
Grand China with Yangtze River Cruise)
This
is just to let you know that we had a wonderful holiday and everything
went very smoothly. Thank you very much. We will certainly recommend
Magical China to any of our friends looking for a holiday in China.
All of the local guides were excellent and looked after us very
well. Best regards, Mr & Mrs J Chishick,
Reading (19 days Grand China with Yangtze River Cruise)
We
returned from our 10 day tour of China last week and I wanted to
thank you for organising a very memorable holiday. The experience
was tremendous and very interesting. We enjoyed Beijing, Xian and
Shanghai for all their different reasons. The guides were really
helpful and very good company and it was particularly nice being
in a small group. Hopeful we will be able to return again to China
at a future date to explore more of the country. Many thanks, P
and H Brack, Liverpool (10 days China Highlight)
The
"Magical China Holiday" booked for 13th August was a wonderful experience
- well organised, excellent guides and some fantastic tours. Once
again, many thanks for your help over the past few months - it was
greatly appreciated. Mr & Mrs Clarke,
Flintshire (14 days Magical China)
We
really enjoyed our trip to China. Magical China’s arrangements,
for flights and pick-ups, worked perfectly. The tour guides in Beijing,
Xi’an, Chengdu and Shanghai were excellent. Not only were they informative,
but also they made sure we saw the main sites in the cities we were
visiting. Great effort was made to cater for our food requirements,
particularly in Beijing and XI’an. Thank you for the time and effort
you put into making our visit so successful. Regard, S
Ruben, Hertfordshire (16 days China & Tibet)
We
have recently returned from our visit to China and would like to
thank you for all the excellent organisation. We were obviously
lucky in that the rest of the tour group didn't materialise so we
had our own private guides, but everything went off very well and
they were very reliable and helpful. Perhaps you would pass on our
thanks to them in China. Yours sincerely Dr
Miller family, Surrey
Just
a few lines to let you know we had a really fantastic holiday in
China. Everything went very smoothly. We saw the most amazing sights
and the arranged meals were brilliant and in some wonderful restaurants.
Our hotels were good and we we lucky enough to be upgraded in Xian!
Many thanks for your help and efficient arrangements. M
Whittaker & P Rogers, Barry
Just
a quick message to thank you for organizing the 10 day Japan holiday
that we won, the trip ran well from start to finish due to your
organization which gave us a stress free break. Thank you very much.
I & R Simpson, London (Japan Highlight with
Golf tour)
Thank
you very much for arranging this wonderful holiday for us. We are
having a great time. Yours sincerely, Mr &
Mrs Rao, Manchester (Magical Japan tour)
We're
recently back from the Japan tour you organised for us, May 15-20.
From our point of view the tour was well designed,well organised
and well supported by the local staff. The guides were instructive
without being overbearing and only the weather could have been improved
upon. Tokyo was grey and damp, Kyoto sunshine and Hakonen in between
with sun and showers. Thank you for making our trip a success and
we would be happy to travel with your company again. Kind regards,
Mr & Mrs Passey and J Butterfield, Southport
(Ultimate Japan tour)
2005
We
have safely returned from what was truly a Magical holiday and one
which we thoroughly enjoyed,our only regret we did not have more
time available to visit more places. All plans went smoothly and
all hotels really good. Our guides were Beijing---Lilly Xian-----Ryan
Guilin---Steven Shanghai-Jennifer They were all good and went out
of their way to organise things that we wanted to do and see over
and above the itinerary,our drivers were also helpful. Jennifer
did tell us about the Maglev high speed airport train in Shanghai
which we used and really enjoyed this. It might be worth putting
this as a part of the itinerary Again thanks for all your help and
hope these comments are useful to you. Hope you also had a good
holiday,we would be happy to have you use our comments and if any
potential customers want to check you out as a tour company please
feel free to get them to email us. We would have no hesitation in
using you again and have mentioned you to several people who are
thinking about going to China,which as far as we are concerned has
to be a must Happy Christmas and New Year. T
Baker, Somerset
Hope
you are well; As you can see I am back from China and a married
man. I will send you the details of my wedding and photos etc later.
Are you likely to be at Destinations 05 (if there is one) next year.
If so would you like to meet my wife and I.
Hope
to see hear from you soon. Regards, N.

Many
thanks for our recent trip to China. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.
You organised things superbly, all the guides were excellent, very
informative as well. The food and hotels were also very good. We
especially liked the experience on the Yangtze and in Yichang, the
warriors were awesome and the scenery in Guillin was lovely. We
met Mark in Chonching and had a good chat with him. We had a wonderful
time and I will definitely recommend you to my friends. Thanks for
everything. Regards. J.
McDonald, Edinburgh
Both
the tour guide and driver did everything they could to make our
stay as enjoyable as possible.The guides was extremely helpful and
knowledgeable and made the journey a lot of fun. The drivers was
excellent making us feel very safe and comfortable. We would definitely
recommend Magical China to our friends. Best regards, C.
Kidman, Surrey
Thought
I would drop you a line to let you know that we have returned from
our holiday and that it was absolutely great. We were very pleased
with the hotels that we stayed in and the places that we visited.
H
Gower, Kent
I
know it's been sometime since we got back, but a quick thanks for
the holiday in china. It was fascinating and we both really enjoyed
it. It just seems so long ago now. Thanks for you time and help
(and the veggie food was good to). We
think the highlights for us were The Forbidden City and the Terracotta
Warriors, though just the experience of China as a whole was great.
We were quite pleased that the itinerary gave time to relax, as
we then had energy to go out most nights. Loved Hong Kong, very
easy to get around and we even managed a day on the beach. G
Ansell, West Sussex
We
are back from a really wonderful tour of China. It was a magical
experience. Thank you for all you did. Best wishes P

Can
I just say thankyou for arranging my tour in china. I had a very
interesting time, the guides were fantastic, if you could pass on
my compliments to them that would be great. I have quite a few photos
to trawl through now and a lot of good memories. Once again thankyou
for arranging the itinerary. Kind Regards N
Price, Middlesex
2004
Well,
we're back, and I just wanted to thank you for all your help in
arranging the holiday. We had a wonderful time, saw so many interesting
things and learnt lots about China and its people. The children
really enjoyed it. If I ever hear of anyone else wishing to visit
China, I shall certainly recommend your services. Thanks once again
for such a marvellous, well-organised and efficient experience.
Kind
regards, K.
Radford, Essex
I
cannot believe that my trip of a life time is over but wanted to
tell you how much Mark and I enjoyed it. Thank you for your help
in the planning stage and in China where we had the most charming
Tour Guides. We met some charming people and visited beautiful and
interesting places. Thank you again, I will most certainly recommend
Magical China Tours!
Very
Best Wishes, J.
Taffler, Rutland
Well,
we are home and nearly at the end of our first week back at work.
I just want to thank you really. Pure and simply thank you! The
trip was absolutely amazing. I love China as a country, and will
most definitely be re visiting! And will most certainly be coming
back to you for my visit! John, who arranged most of our trip out
there, was one of the most charming guys I have ever met. Mum wanted
to bring him home!! I'm sure we will keep in touch with John and
Yvonne our guides. And we will always have tremendous memories of
such a stunning country. Thank you once again for your really personal
service. Take care.

I
wanted to say thank you for making our holiday so wonderful the
whole experience was amazing. I would be grateful if you could also
pass on our thanks to Simon. We had a fantastic time and would particular
like to thank the guides that showed us round. Scarlet in Beijing
was fantastic and we would be grateful if you could find out her
address or email address so that we could send her a thank you card,
Peter was also wonderful in Shanghai and would be grateful if you
could do the same. We look forward to travelling again to China
with yourselves and we will certainly be passing on your details
to our friends. We would also be grateful if you could keep us informed
as and when you decide if you will be running trips to China during
the Olympics as we would be interested in going.
Once
again many thanks. R.
Morton, London
I
am writing to do two things. First to thank you for organising the
holiday for me. On the whole the weather was good except the day
we went to the Great Wall where it rained. Also a thank you for
the help with the last minute changes. I hope you like the photos,
one of me with Lily my guide and one with me and my girlfriend.
The second thing is I am going back to China in October. I wonder
if you could at a later date book an internal flight and hotels.
Let me know what information about the flight etc you will require.
Thank
You. N.
Gould, Surrey
