Dear Emma and Zoe,
Please find below the answers to your service questions:
The restaurant we were taken to in Chongqing was excellent. The food was delicious and our guide explained what the different dishes were and the order they should be eaten in!
The meals on the Yangtze cruise boat were also excellent and particularly good value for money (considering the cost of the river cruise as a whole). My only slight criticism would be that non-Chinese people may find 3 or 4 days of Chinese food is a little too much especially as it is very different from the food they are used to eating at home. Some simple non-Chinese food on offer would be welcome for either lunch or dinner.
The 2 guides (one in Chongqing and one in Yichang) were both first-class. Their English language skills were better than many English people, they spoke fluently with wide ranging vocabulary and were highly knowledgeable. The guide in Yichang also kindly assisted us at the railway station which was much appreciated. We highly appreciated the bottled water provided on each tour.
The minibuses were clean with full air-conditioning and the drivers were friendly and helpful.
I would pay special tribute to our guides in Chongqing and Yichang (see comments above). Any tourist who is fortunate enough to have them as guides will enjoy a very fulfilling China tour.
I would also pay tribute to Emma, Zoe and all the staff at Chinatour360. 'Friendly,' 'helpful' and 'efficient' are the 3 best words to describe this company and its staff. Before booking our tours, every e-mail query was answered fully most often within 24 hours. No problem, question or task was too much trouble for them. During our China holiday, all the arrangements made by the company worked out with prompt delivery of train tickets, meeting guides etc. It was a great pleasure to be able to meet Emma and Zoe during our stay in Xian. If we travel to China again, I would certainly make the arrangements with Chinatour360 and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
Many thanks to Emma and Zoe. I hope you are both well. We have had our photographs developed and now have lots of happy memories of our holiday in China!
Best wishes,
Oliver
