Welcome to China Odyssey Travel Consultant - Reinself Wei's Homepage

Hello Reinself,

Yes, I did enjoy the trip very much, especially my days in Guilin and the Li river cruise. Peggy was very helpful and willing to spend time to help me when her relatives were celebrating the holiday. I too am sorry I did not get a chance to meet you and the staff there. I look forward to another trip with your group. Richard Chalquest

Kind regards,

Hello Reinself,

Thank you again for your help arranging the tour. I very much enjoyed Xian and Guilin. To be honest, the Yangtze cruise was a disappointment for me – not what I expected. But the rest of the trip was excellent.

I have already recommend your company to a few people looking to travel in China. My parents will be emailing you next year to help them organize their voyage as well!

I will send photos in a few weeks when I have downloaded them

Kind regards,

Melanie

Dear Reinself,

Sorry to have missed you and I am very sorry for your family, We enjoyed our tour immensely and if we ever travel in China again we will book through you.

Your companies service was beyond expectation, the giudes were great we both thought Ivan was wonderful, mum wanted to take him home he was so much fun and so polite.

The drivers were incredible the traffic!!

The hotels were excellent we could not fault anything and I will recommend your company to my freinds.

As I am still in Hong Kong I have not sorted any photos but I will send you some when I get sorted at home.

Thank you again and I will recommend you on tripadvisor when I get home

Dear Reinself,

We have been back in Chicago since Saturday night (November 5). We want to thank-you for all of your wonderful planning. Yes, I worried about everything, but you were so correct that everything would work out and it did.

All the guides picked us up on time, and we liked all of them. All the flights worked out, except for the fog delay in Beijing, which was out of your control. We enjoyed everything that you planned for us.

It was a pleasure working with you, and I would certainly recommend you and China Odyssey Tours if I knew someone going to China.

I'm so glad we were able to meet in Guilin. We appreciated our names on your video screens, and our special gift bag!

I have 2 suggestions for your next clients.

First, when we visited the Great Wall, we went to the Mutianyu section. It was a long, uphill walk to the cable cars. Once on the Wall, there were many steep steps, and few railings. I didn't feel very comfortable walking around that section. I went back to the Great Wall on a tour arranged from my husband's firm to the Badaling Section. There were also cable cars, but not a long uphill walk to get to them. It was much easier to walk at the Badaling Section, and I was able to see much more of the wall. Your other clients may also perfer Badaling to Mutianyu.

Next, we liked the Sofitel in Xian, and the Westin in Shanghai, but really didn't like the Sheraton in Guilin. I don't know if there is a hotel in Guilin that is better, but the Sheraton was not nearly as good as the other hotels.

Best wishes,

Dear Reinself,

The whole China tour that you put together for us was just the BEST. You were so kind to work with us on all the little changes we made through out the planning of our trip.

We wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our guides, Shanghai it was Vivian, and Guilin it was Anne,

Xi'an it was Kenny and then Andy picked us up from our cruise. We just fell in love with Andy. He was so considerate and could communicate with us and planned some wonder Chinese dinners that were out of this world!!!!!!

As I said we really were happy with all the things we got to visit but was so impressed with Andy and the manner he did the tour. I wanted to send a thanks to you and am copying Andy as a thank you also.He was the BEST GUIDE EVER!!!!!!!!!!

We are now home, safe and a bit tired from our travels but are so thankful for the oppoutunity to visit all the 7 countries we visited and China was a favorite of ours.

Thanks again to you Reinself for the over all tour and for the personal touch you gave with the birthday cake and gifts for Bob. We so appreciated your thoughtfulness and so glad we could meet you in person.

Best,

Dear Mister&Reinself,

We sincerely would like to thank you for the trip you organized for us in China. Everything was perfect and very well prepared. We spent a lot of time in the airports and train stations, but it definitely worst it !!

I really loved the Terracotta army warriors while my husband had a crush for the great wall.

We would like to send a postcard and a little souvenir from our Pacific island to some of our guides. Could you please give us their addresses? - Nick (Beijing); - Peter (Xian); - Joy (Chengdu); - and Pamela (Guilin).

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Dear Reinself

Thanks a lot for your confirmation.

I want to thank you for your incredibly fast, very professional and efficient service!

In case the trip to Mt Huangshan is as well organised as the booking, then we will definitely have a fantastic experience.

Thanks again for your great job!

Best regards,

Dear Reinself and Maggie,

I just wanted to say the trip to Tibet was memorable and enjoyable!

The itinerary was up to par and spaced out nicely.

The Xin Ding Hotel was by far the best hotel I have ever stayed in! The staff were most pleasant! The Bell Boy was most memorable as he always greeted us with such respect and courtesy.

Besides the mishap with Tibet permit (and Daniel being marked as a female), we both enjoyed the trip and thought it was such an amazing part of the world.

Hope all is well.

Regards,

Dear Reinself and Maggie,

We are on our way to the air port to take our flight back to Israel.

I want to thank you very much for the assistance and arrangements during and before our stay.

I think in general everything was good and your guides were very nice (especially Sally in Beijing and Tony in Hangzou who are excellent!) The hotels were good except the one in Hangzou.

But, again in general we had a very nice tour and we want to thank you.

Best regards,

Hello Reinself,

The beautiful sunset at Li River, Guilin

Just wanted to let you know that we have arrived safely back to Canada. The weather changed from autumn while we were away. It has been quite chilly here. Makes me sad to be away from sunny Guilin.

I wanted to thank you again so much for taking the time to meet with us when we were in Guilin. It was a highlight of the trip for me to spend a few minutes with you. I am happy that you received my "constructive suggestions" in the correct spirit. I am happy to send you some more insights in to how your company might be able to make travel in China even better.

I have been quite busy since returning to work. I expect to have much more free time in the next month or so. I will get my thoughts collected and send them on to you in the next while. In the meantime, just wanted to remind you of me so that you won't forget who I am when next I contact you.

Our trip to China was wonderful. You provided a very stressless holiday for all of us. I just cannot thank you enough. I hope that you will give serious consideration to coming to Canada one day and allowing me to repay the hospitality you have shown to us in your country.

I'll be in touch soon.

Dear Reinself,

I apologize for taking so long to write. We have had a very busy time since returning home.

We want to thank you for organizing our most enjoyable days in Shanghai and Suzhou, Tongli and Zhujiajiao. All the arrangements worked perfectly – guides arrived as expected and looked after us very well. The hotel in Shanghai was very nice and we walked to the Bund although it took about 30 minutes and also found the Metro very convenient. The hotel in Suzhou was also very nice.

Thank you for making such good arrangements and letting us have such a lovely holiday.

Very best wishes!

Dear Reinself,

Thank you for a well-arranged trip to Guilin! We are very pleased with your company's services.

Regarding our discussion at your office about Yangtze cruise and Huangshan, kindly provide 8-days itinerary for mid-May and late-November so we can compare and decide when to buy the air tickets.

If we know of anyone planning to visit China we shall recommend that they contact you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes!

Good evening Reinself,

I just wanted to thank you for the arrangements you prepared for me. The guides and drivers were very professional and knowledgeable. Everything went off like clockwork.

Suggestion you may want utilize hotels that provide WI FI in their rooms as the traveler today relies on e-mail, web search, etc.

All in all, I enjoyed the tour.

Thank you!

Good evening Reinself,

It’s been a while, how are you? Samuel and me are very sorry for the delay.

We’re very grateful you arranged our tour although it was only for 7 days. We liked the places we did go, specially Guilin, it’s a wonderful place and I very love the scenery!

Our tour guides did also a very good job. Enrique and Joy are two persons with humour and always very concerned about our safety and comfort. They also brought us to see other places and spectacles not listed in our itinerary, like for example Cristina in Yangshuo, Guilin. She suggested us a minority show near the Li River called Impression of Liu Sanjie. With aprox. 600 performers, it was awesome, one of the best shows I ever saw.

In Chengdu we had the chance to see the biggest Buddha of the world (Leshan Giant Buhhda) and not forgetting the cute panda I hugged while Joy (our guide) and Samuel were outside filming two pandas fighting for a place to sleep on the tree!

Thank you for the unforgettable time in Yunnan!

We’re planning to have another trip to China a couple of years later, and we’ll definitely ask your services. All the information you gave us was were very helpful and I have to say you’re very fast working. We thanks you for give us those memories in China.

Reinself, if you’re interested in going to Spain or Belgium you can always contact us, we’ll be pleased to show you everything and free for you and your friends ;). Here some of our memories attached.

Hope we meet again!

Best Regards,

Hi Reinself,

Good evening! This is our third day in Beijing. Thank you so much for arranging this wonderful tour with a wonderful guide, Jerry.

Our Guide Jerry is so wonderful to us. I think it's like we have a relative guide here in Beijing, he's like an old friend to us, sharing personal experiences and personal favorites. And he's so knowledgeable, every question has an answer, so much answer, hahaha. This afternoon we've been to Behai Park and my husband and daughter are really excited about the stamp that they bought together with Jerry. Jerry has a passion for antiques and calligraphy. We were actually planning to have an acrobatic show tonight but we are so tired we don't want to walk anymore.

The driver is also very good and the service vehicle that we use everyday is very nice also.

I can also suggest to you this Grand Hyatt, although a little bit more pricey but their service is very good. Their turndown service includes change of towels, linens and additional bottled water. All in all our first three days here were very excellent except for our legs...hehehe.

Will e-mail you again soon.

We flew from Nanning to Beijing today and then to the U.S. Thank you for your services while in China.

All arrangements were satisfactory. Our guide and driver in Xian have been very helpful and friendly. The Yangtze cruise was very good. And the train ride to Chengdu was first class. We need this kind of train in U.S. Grace met us at the platform in Chengdu, which was very helpful too. We also enjoyed our time in Guillin and Yangshuo, with our pleasant guide Susan.

Hello Reinself Wei,

Thank you for your email. I apologise for a late reply.

Thank you for organising the trip for us. We were rather pleased with our quide in Chongqing - he went out of his way to write everything on paper (we are sign language users) and ensuring our comfort during the time he was with us. You were very informative and punctual in your emailing with us, accommodating to our requests, which made everything easier for us.

Overall, we enjoyed our trip very much. Thank you once again.

We wish you all the best.
Warm regards,

Hello Reinself!

Fascinating Chongqing Night View,
shot from our Yangtze cruise

Just few words to you after completion of our successful trip in China. We are back to Bangkok after a very interesting and well organized trip to wonderful locations in China.

Local Guides were all very kind and interesting and flexible enough through quite busy journeys perfectly on schedule. All hotel accomodation was OK as well as the cruise. The Pullman Hotel in Guangzhou was perfect.

The only weakness we have perceived is flight connectivity on our way back to Bangkok, which is unexpeceted, not your fault.

In summary, Well Done from your side. We will send you the questionnaire in the coming days.

Best regards,

Hello Reinself!

The high ancient City Wall of Pingyao

I'm sorry just to write now but in my return to work I found so many tasks to be performed that I have no time to write to you.

First of all, we want to thank you for the very nice and very well organized trip in China. As we referred in our comments, it exceeds our expectations and we intend to go back to China in a nearer future. The idea about China is based on we read in books, Internet and the reality is much better.

Our guides were exceptional as well our private drivers. Their concern is to find the best way to show everything, to provide us with enough information without to bore us. The hotels are well located, very closed to the main places. For us, it was the best choice as we prefer to be installed not outside the main places neither in the middle of these places, to avoid so many confusion and movement.

We already recommend your company to our friends.

When we intend to perform a new visit, can we contact you, directly?

We are preparing some photos to send to you. It's a hard job as we get about 2950 photos!

Best regards,

Thank you very much for organizing our trip to China! Thank you for good interesting program, which gave us the opportunity to see the most significant cities and monuments of cultural heritage of China, amazing scenery.

All of our local guides were very professionally and told unusually large number of interesting about Chinese history, Buddhism, about the customs, traditions.

Thank you for your great professionalism in the organization of the travel. During our trip we had no problems and inconveniences.

Hotels - a good level and are mostly comfortable. Good personal transport. All tickets for planes, trains, museums, everything was ready, never had any problems or delays.

Thanks again.

Dear Reinself,

I am very sorry for the delay our reply, but we could answer in Guangzhou and when I find a moment to answer you just now. Regarding to our visit in China, it was excellent! We trully enjoy your country and we we will visit it again soon.

In regards to the agency services, we were satisfied, besides some thing that we are not accostume. For example, in drinks, that was included just one glass of water or the drink we decide. In our country this is not common. In regards to the spanish english guides they were really competent.

Hoping we can visit your country soon, we said good bye!

Best regards,

Dear Reinself,

Hilda and I would like to express our overall satisfaction as concerns our recent five day trip to China as arranged by you and your colleagues at China Odyssey Tours.

Our tour guide, Jack, and the driver, Mr. Han, each did a very good job. They both showed kindness and consideration in helping Hilda walk up and down the difficult pathways of Beijing. Jack's knowledge of Beijing was impressive and we were particularly pleased at the time spent at the Temple of Heaven, the People's Park in Beijing.

Although we could not fully enjoy Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City because of the bitter cold weather, Jack managed to keep us moving and we somehow managed to briefly see the Square and walk the full length of the Forbidden City. After the bitter cold of the previous day, we were reluctant to go even further north and into the mountains to view the Great Wall. Jack persuaded us to try, and we are grateful that he did so, as the Great Wall was an astonishing site, an architectural masterpiece worthy of its designation as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. We also got to see the Sacred Walk and that was also very well worth seeing.

We also enjoyed the rickshaw ride through the Hutongs. The stop at the home of one of the resident families was one of the highlights of our trip.

Our stay at the Double Tree Hilton was good but not great. The breakfasts were very good and all service personnel were pleasant and cooperative. Our room was a little cramped for two people and was dark. The mattresses were very comfortable and so was the bedding.

Our other tour guide, Jessica, was marvelous. And the driver, Mr. Li, did a very fine job. As we drove to the hotel from the airport in Guilin, we asked Jessica for a suggestion as to how we could spend our evening in Guilin City. She suggested a boat ride on the lakes. We thought that sounded very nice, but were hesitant to go by ourselves because we would not understand Chinese. Jessica volunteered to join us on the boat ride, arranged a reservation and had Mr. Li drive us to the event and meet us after the event was over. We thought that this was very generous of her and Mr. Li and offered to, at least, pay for her admission. Jessica refused to accept our offer, saying simply that we could consider it at the trip's end if we wanted to do so.

The boat ride was absolutely beautiful. We will always remember it.

The Bravo hotel was barely satisfactory. The room was, again, slightly cramped for two people, very dark and was cold. I did not have enough light in the bathroom to see the right side of my face while shaving. Breakfast was good and the mattresses and bedding were very comfortable. This hotel was not on your original itinerary. Our daughter Michelle stayed at the Bravo and suggested the change to the Bravo. Apparently, the overall quality at the Bravo had deteriorated from the time of her visit and, when she suggested the change, she was not aware of the change in quality. It would be a good idea to notify clients of this information should this situation reoccur in the future.

We were very pleased to learn that Jessica would join us on the cruise to Yangshuo County on the Li River. We both enjoyed the cruise and thought that the scenery was very nice. We were a little disappointed as the Li River was advertised as China's most beautiful river and we expected more in the way of color and variety. Perhaps the scenery is more spectacular during the warmer months of the year.

Jessica said that she and Mr. Li would take us to West Street for shopping and dinner and to the Sight and Sound show, would meet us at our seats after the show and drive us back to our hotel. We were most appreciative. The show was a sound and sight spectacular, but, of course, we could not appreciate the lyrics. Nonetheless, it was quite memorable.

The Green Lotus Hotel in Yangshuo was excellent in all regards. We were very satisfied.

The following morning, we went to Reed Flute Cave on the way to the airport in Guilin City. Jessica arranged for a chair lift for Hilda, who would not have been able to traverse the cave without it. Hilda really enjoyed the experience and the cave was magnificent, another highlight on a wonderful five day tour.

I hope that you will find this summarization to be of some use in evaluating your personnel and in planning future tours.

Thank you once again, for your efforts in arranging our tour.

Sincerely,
Martin Fried

Our Dear Friend Reinself,

Hello from Utah!

I am sorry that I have not replied sooner. We have only been home for two weeks and we have been busy preparing to go away for another two weeks. In America we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. We are going to Arizona for the holidays to be with our family. We, I think I told you this before, have 6 children and 21 grandchildren. We have a big family. We are very blessed. Thanksgiving is an important holiday for us.

I want to write more about our trip when we return. We loved our trip very much. We were happy with our guides, each one was kind and helpful to us. Our trip in Hong Kong was fabulous too. Candice, our guide was great. We loved Guilin and the boat ride and want to return and see that show again too. Jilly our guide in Beijing was so helpful and kind, he is most efficient. Seeing the Terra Cotta soldiers was a magnificent experience.

We had an interesting experience at the silk factory and I would like to send you some pictures of that experience. Could you please e-mail me your address? When we return I will send you the pictures. I just had to laugh at how brave the women were at the factory. I admire those women.

Thank you for the wonderful gifts and for the great book, we have showed many people our gifts and other treasures we picked up along the way. We have highly recommended you to plan a trip for our friends. We will return, hopefully soon. We truly loved the shopping in Hong Kong. It was very interesting. Fei is a brilliant guide. She has a darling personality and is a lot of fun too.

I hope you and your family are well. We heard on the TV that it was snowing in Beijing........I hope you didn't get snow. Oh my, we were very surprised to hear that snow was falling in Beijing.

Thank you again for all you did to make our trip the best trip we have ever experienced. We will return.

We send our love and Best Wishes,
Lynne and Bill

Hello Reinself

The whole trip was very good organised, also the choice of hotels was very good. Also the guide and driver were very friendly and helpful.

The only thing I can say, but not your fault, maybe a tip. Its really very touristic, maybe some people like also an alternative way. Personally I would like to See more local things and less touristic attractions, but I know many people like the popular places.

Can you give me information about Tibet? I am planning to make trip to Tibet beginning May 2010.

Departure shanghai (Personally I would like to make first day by train and I know there is a new railway line to Lhasa.) But if possible a more alternative suggestion, but I know this area is quite restricted.

Are there special requirements to go there (visa?) How to do?

Looking forward to your reply,

Best regards,
Filip Debruyne

Dear Mr. Reinself Wei,

Thank you for the pictures. We are very pleased with them.

We are now a few days back home and still enjoy our fantastic trip trough China. We loved the variation from the busy cities and the more restful landscapes. It is hard to say what was the reely highlight because we found everything very interesting.

We will express in particular our feelings about the guides: although all were good or very good, we must say that Elena in Guilin and Tony in Hangzhou were fantastic guides.

You can be sure that we will recommend you and your company to our friends.

Thank you very much for all what you did for us.

Dear Reinself,

Standing before the Leshan Giant Buddha

It's been more than a month that we have returned home, after our journey that had the highest point in our visit to China again. When we look at the pictures, we realise how wonderful were those days we spent in your country. We feel so happy to show them to our family and friends, and everybody enjoys very much. And we tell them that we had such a good time and visited such beautiful places because you organised the tour so well. It was really a fantastic week, thanks to you.

I'll be sending some more pictures next. Please show them to Jesse, too. And tell him we miss you both, and send our warm regards,

Good morning Reinself,

Tonight we will leave for Vietnam. Yes, I received your timely letter of confirmation. What I can say is that you and your agency is superior. Even the Emperor of China would have been so proud. I can't wait to go to Kunming. But, even more so, we have had the pleasure of meeting the person who assisted us in making this happen as well as our previous trip...YOU!!!!

Hello Reinself,

After a long journey in Asia I have returned home. I would like to thank you for assisting me with my China tour. The hotel and tour were great. I would especially like to say that my tour guide Wendy was awesome! She was helpful pleasant and gave great information. I felt as if I was her personal friend and she was showing me around. Also, the guide that picked me up from the airport was very informative and helpful. (I'm sorry I don't remeber her name).

On a not so positive note, the last day of my tour I had Andrea. She was "nice" but, I beleive she brought her own personal friends along on the tour and wanted to pay more attention to them then to those of us on the tour. She seemed to be rushing us through everything and getting any information out of her seemed to be a hassle for her. Also at the end of the trip, she asked for her tip. I really did not feel she deserved a tip, especially after asking for one, but I did want the driver to have a tip as he was very pleasant. I was not able to see if the tip was actually given to the driver as I needed to leave in a taxi to catch my flight.

However, I was very pleased with my China tour and again thank you for your help. Just thought you should be aware of the last tour guide.

Hi Reinself,

Johnson and I hope you are well and enjoying life as usual. We are back home and life continue as usual.

On our part we have had a marvelous trip in china – we will keep a very good souvenir of our chinese vacation for a long time and also the great heat. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Thank you for all and our big apologise again for our numerous emails. Ha! ha! ha!

All the guides have been kind to us but there is one which has been above all, is the one from Beijing – he is called Richard. I can’t put in words how Richard has been so kind and helpful to us – we could not express a wish that he will do everything to please us. He always think head. If you have him on phone please tell him how Johnson and I thank him very very much for having contribute to make our tour in Beijing a memorable one.

A VERY VERY BIG THANK YOU TO RICHARD. We hope sincerely that he goes very far in his career.

Nevertheless I am a bit sad because I bought a beautiful traditional Chinese hat in Yangshuo and I was proud to bring one at home but unfortunately at the end of our trip before going to Hong Kong when I arrived at Guangzhou station which was very crowded my hat has broken.

Many thanks for all the little souvenirs you gave us.

Hope you enjoyed the Mauritian rhum and you have a good time with your friends.

Best Personal Regards,

We are back home safely after a great trip to China (P-33903). Thank you very much for all your help and advice regarding our trip to Chengdu, including arranging of the Air China flight from Shanghai to Chengdu.

Everything worked out well and we can't say thank you enough for helping to make our trip so easy and without any hitches. Our only disappointment is that we did not get to met you!

Hello Reinself Wei,

The family and I wish to thank you for arranging an amazing tour of China. We came back home with wonderful memories and interesting stories to tell. We will not soon forget Beijing-the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Scared Way, the Temple of Heaven; Xi'an-the Terracotta Warriors and the City Wall; Guilin and its limestone hills and caverns and the shopping places in Hong Kong.

The English speaking tour guides in each city were just terrific. They were informative, very likable, helpful and friendly. All were very helpful in taking our pictures of the entire family. We came back with some very good pictures and lots of them.

The weather was very hot in Beijing, warm in Xi'an, rainy in Guilin and hot and humid in Hong Kong. It added to the uniqueness of China adventure and we survived.

Here's a T-shirt that may interest you and we hope you will enjoy. We enjoyed our visit to the office and face-to-face meeting. It brought closure to the entire tour after having communicating all the weeks leading up to the trip.

Thank you,
Chet Wong,

Hello Reinself,

I would recommend in the future that your guides plan to get to the park in time to get the second to last bus to the cable car, so that if something like this goes wrong again they will still get there in time for the last cable car. At the time of course it turned out to be a problem as it was a very long walk and became cold and dark and the path covered with snow and very slippery, but afterwards it certainly makes an exciting story to tell! But it would be a problem for other visitors if they could not make the long climb.

We are still sifting through our many pictures to put together a slide show of the best pictures and once we have done that we will certainly send you a copy.

Thank you once again for planning a wonderful vacation in China for us, certainly a trip to remember for a lifetime.

We will recommend your services to anyone we know interested in traveling to China.

Hello Mr. Wei:

I just wanted to let you know we have now arrived back home in Hawaii.
After finishing up our China trip we stopped in Japan for about 5 days before returning home.

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to China and the excellent tour you arranged for us. Everything was extremely well organized, the tour guides and drivers were excellent, and we saw and learned a great deal. We loved our experience in China and wish to thank you for all your hard work in arranging such an excellent trip.
We couldn't have asked for better organization, and everything went just as you stated it would. We will highly recommend your service to any of our friends who wish to visit China. Also, we definitely plan on returning again since we've learned so much, and hope to experience even more of the country on our next visit. We covered a lot on our trip, and at times it was fast, but it gave us a "flavor" of the country and also allowed us to look at places we would like to visit for longer on our next trip.

Thank you again for your excellent service and for a great China experience!

Regards,

Hi Reinself

Thank-you very much for forwarding the pictures to us. I can add them to the 2000 others that I took of your Beautiful Country.

I can not believe that it has been one month since we have arrived home from China. I have been busy trying to organize all my pictures in order to pass them on to others so that everyone that wasn't with us can enjoy our wonderful experience to your country. Each album is so unique of each place we visited. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday to China and as Gerry told you the trip exceeded all of his expectations of what he was expecting to see and do in your wonderful country.

Your tour guides and drivers were excellent and made our trip safe and very, very informative. We will recommend your company to anyone who is thinking about travelling to China.

The most impressive thing about your company is that you made our trip completely hassle free. There was always someone to meet us at our destination to ensure everything was taken care of and to our satisfaction. Your guides were there to get us into venues quickly and were always waiting for us when we finished. We were there a full three weeks , traveling several times within the country and I was shocked at how smooth everything went.

Thank-you again and please feel free to forward our e-mail address onto anyone who might be thinking of going to China and would like a personnel account from someone who has used your services.

Our Sincere Thanks for organizing such a wonderful holiday.

Reinself

Thank you so much for the pictures. We had such a wonderful trip throughout China thanks to your great efforts to put together every aspect of the trip. We really appreciated all your work especially getting us into Tibet. Each place we went was more wonderful than the last and everything went smothly at all of our locations with a few exceptions like missing the cable car at Mt. Emei, but that just added more to the adventure! All of your local guides were just wonderful and helpful people. I will certainly highly recommend China Odyssey and you in particular to anyone seeking to travel in China. Yes Michael did get his pictures from the Fed Ex so thank you as well for getting through to the Fed Ex office for us. We are still recovering from the wonderful trip but as soon as we do Michael's first job will be to put togehter a slide show from our many pictures and once we have that we will certainly send it to you as well. Thank you again for all of your help to make our trip a wonderful memory for a lifetime.

Hello Reinself,

Enjoy China Tea, very amazing experience

What a nice surprise to have this morning! That is very kind of you and your company. Please send it to Easton Court, Easton Cross, Chagford, Devon, England TQ13 8JL.

We have a lot of very good memories of our trip to China and have told many of our friends about how enjoyable it was and how well organised. Probably the highlight for both Paul and me was visiting the Great Wall, something we have both wanted to do for many years. I have attached a couple of photos for you. We were watching a TV programme called “Hidden China” the other night and saw things we would still like to see – for example the round houses in the tea-province south-west of Shanghai where 10+ families live – so we may also visit again very soon.

We have another holiday to look forward to now in January when we will be sailing in the Caribbean with some other friends. It will be nice to be in the sunshine again: after the warmth and sunshine of Guilin and Hong Kong, arriving back into England where it is quite cold and wet was a shock.

Trusting that you are happy and well,
Best regards,
Debra

Hi Reinself,

Nelson's Visit Great Wall

We have finally got back to Scotland after our three month holiday.
We would like to express our thanks to all the staff at China Odyssey Tours who made our recent trip to China a great success.

We were looked after every step of the way. From collection at Beijing airport to departure at Xian Airport.Our tour guides really made our trip enjoyable. Their knowledge of history was amazing and they made the sights come to life for us.

Our cars were comfortable and the drivers very careful.

The hotels were top quality, the food was great and the sights just amazing. If you are looking at going to China we would recommend China Odyssey Tours. They can design the trip you want, they look after you the whole way and you will have a wonderful time.

Dear Reinself Wei,

I would like to thank you for organizing all my family sister's trip (Guilin and Luoyang).

They have had a fantastic trip, they're very grateful to the guides, they have learnt a lot about China and its culture.

I will tell my friends in Shanghai about you and your company and be sure that I will contact you if I need to plan any other trip in China.

Thank you,
Mrs. Meritxell Gispert

Dear Reinself Wei

We have arrived back in the USA safely and I acknowledge your E MAIL and fine service your company provided on our recent trip through China.

All of your people met us at the designated locations without any hassle or problems…they were more than willing to help and assist in anyway. They were knowledgeable and professional in every manner.

Thank you for working with me on this trip and if we have the opportunity to return to China or if I have others that plan to travel to China I will pass your name and contact information on.

Thank you,

Bill Alter (Jul. 22, 2006）

Dear Reinself,

Thank you very much for organising such a wonderful holiday for us.

At every part of the trip we were met by competent and friendly guides and drivers.

The guides all spoke good English and were enthusiastic , knowledgeable and flexible with the basic arrangements to meet our wishes.

We had a great time and if we visited Chine again we would use your company.

Thank you again,

Alan Stansfield (Dec. 03, 2006)

Reinself:

Thank you for everything you did for us. You were fantastic. I hope you do very well in your business. Keep up the good work. Your personal service to me was fantastic. I have never been looked after so well.

Good luck with your future.

Dear Wei,

Thank you for your call yesterday and your email note. I'm sorry I could not talk longer as we were in the Feng Shui "museum" and it did not seem appropriate!

Last night, we went to the dumpling dinner and China cultural show in Xi'an so I was not able write last night. This morning we are getting a late start, so I am relaxing with the computer--preparing for our time in Beijing when we will be on our own! The itinerary you prepared for us turned out to be as interesting as it appeared and we have been very happy on our travels in China. One of our favorite events was the acrobat show in Shanghai, though the outdoor "Impressions" show in Yangshuo was my personal favorite.

Yesterday we enjoyed cycling the entire inner city wall of Xi'an and seeing the terracotta warriors. Our guide ("Ellie") and driver here in Xi'an have been among the best, though no one has been quite as perfect as "Michelle" (Mo Xiao Fang) in Guilin and nothing we have seen can compare with the beauty of the Li River.

I will be staying at the Continental Grand hotel in Beijing (August 5-10) and, if there is time during my conference, I will write again. If there is not time then, I will probably not be in touch again until September as there will be a LOT of work to do as soon as I get back!

Thank you again for all your work on our behalf.

until then,

Christine (Aug. 04, 2006)

Dear Reinself Wei,

I am just emailing to thank you for the 3-4 day tour that you organised for us last week. The tour guide and driver were very friendly and it was a great experience!

Thank You very much.

Kind Regards,

Thank you for your email. Both Julia and I had a wonderful period in China and we appreciated your professionalism and that of your staff on the various sectors of the tour. The hotels were all of a high quality and the service excellent. Unfortunately Julia and I both caught colds and were not feeling well for a few days. The content of the tours were excellent but I feel that in Shanghai the new area opposite the bund on the other side of the river could have been included as a substitute to some of the other programmed items. I fortunately had visited Shanghai previously and had the opportunity to show Julia the tower and other venues that we would have unfortunately missed out on without knowledge gained from my previous visit. I suggest that the tower and museum could have been excellent substitutes for some of the venues.

The entertainment was great and the acrobatics etc were exceptional. All of your staff were very helpful and carried out their duties excellently.

I believe we made the right choice in choosing your company and itinerary and we were able to see parts of China that are certainly world heritage.

Thank you for your tour arrangements, we had a very memorable and enjoyable visit.

Regards

Terry (Nov. 01, 2006)

Dear Reinself

Please find attached the feedback form. I will try to get some photos uploaded on my laptop soon and will send them to you when I get a chance. I have not kept a travel-log so can't help there.

We were very happy with your service and are looking to come back next August to China. I will be in touch again for recommendations from yourself as to what we should see next after Beijing and Yangtze River.

Best Regards

Hello Reinself,

Jack, Anne and me

Thanks for the pictures. We enjoyed seeing them.

We enjoyed our trip so much that we are actually thinking of returning to China this summer to visit Yunnan Province and Tibet with two of our close friends, so there would be five in our group. We see from the China Odyssey website that you offer organized trips to Tibet. Is it also possible through China Odyssey Tours to arrange a trip for just the five of us in Yunnan and Tibet similar to our trip in China (private car, driver and local guide)? If you can do this, we'll send details later.

We've attached two photos. If you are able to view these pictures, we will send more.

Thanks, again, for helping to make our China trip memorable.

Sincerely,

Karen (Jan. 30, 2007)

hi Reinself,

So sorry for my late reply - my sister is still in Shanghai with me so i have not been able to look at my e-mails.

My parents went back to the UK on Saturday which was very sad but they said they had a wonderful holiday and really enjoyed the trips to Beijing, Xian and Guilin. thank you for all your hard work to organise everything!

I hope the weather in Guilin is still warm! have a good day!!

kind regards,

Yo (Oct. 31, 2006)

Hi Reinself,

Thank you for your email and for the pictures. You look very good on them! I am back to Canada and very busy with work.

It was a wonderful experience to visit Guilin. I hope I will see you again in China!

Thanks for all your help. Here are some of my pictures. I hope you like them.

Dear Mr. Wei

I just wanted to write and thank you very much for the service you provided to myself and my brother recently on our holiday.

All your guides were exceptionally good. All very happy to help, friendly, knowledgable, polite and accomodating. The flights were all planned very well and travelling from place to place was very easy as a result. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to our friends and family.

We hope to use you again in the future!

Kind regards

Eleanor Scully (Aug. 24, 2007)

Dear Mr. Wei;

I miss CHINA!!! I cried when I left Shanghai. My husband and I had a wonderful experience thanks to your efforts and your team. Yes, I will send you the evaluation. I am still getting adjusted to the time change. Your people and your country must be so proud of all the accomplishments...not to mention all those dynasties!! and my husband indicated we will be most willing to communicate with any possible customers.
