Because the price of the tour was also reasonable, so personally I think the tour was well worth of money. When we were in Hutong, my family and I, we did take an interesting and fun rickshaw or pedicab ride which famous only in Hutong complex. Rickshaw could not be seen in other area around Beijing. The ride is especially available for visitors who interest roam around the old courtyard of Beijing in Hutong. My husband and I, we took the same rickshaw, two persons in one ride. We passed through a lot of old landmarks and buildings in Beijing and saw its unique remarkable architecture and style of them. Furthermore, we also learnt little about Chinese culture.

At the end of the ride, we gave some tips for local Beijing people who pulled us along the way. He did very good job, very friendly and gladly help us took some photos of us at the end of the ride. Interesting experience after all! Besides our trip to Hutong which was so memorable, our short visit to Panda House was interesting.

Beijing Zoo is also called as the place where successful in breeding Chinese giant pandas. So, I was really excited to visit it, same excited with my daughter. Chinese giant pandas surely adorable and cute. Poorly, we only had limited short time for visit the zoo. But after all, we kept enjoyed the itinerary of this tour. The service from beginning till the end was more than our expectations. Our guide gave us a clear explanation in each attraction and spoke great English. Everything was well organized even we had this tour together with other visitors, we still felt comfortable, nothing different. Thank you for all the experience that your travel agency gave to us!

I heard from my friends that Shanghai is a nice city, relatively simple for anyone to explore the city by own. It will be more easier if stay in one of popular hotel which located in the center of the city. Yes, my friends and I, we go to Shanghai by ourselves. First, we booked the hotel online then just directly come to the city. Arrived at the city, I was like change my mind to explore the city by ourselves. We searched for some online tour then find your travel agency. Got the booking online, then just started our one day trip in Shanghai with your tour two days after booked.

In total, we stayed in Shanghai for one week and joined your one day bus tour. Our bus trip started from tour guide picked us up right in front of our hotel which located not far from Nanjing Road.

During the tour, our guide always told us about the story behind the attraction and guided us to the place where we could have the best sightseeing.

Not only a visit to Yu Garden which was refreshing and relaxing, next we also did visit The Bund, Jade Buddha Temple, former French Concession, Shanghai Museum etc. The bund which also known as the symbol of Shanghai actually we already visited it on the first day when we arrived at Shanghai. On that time, we did visit the Bund at night and took the cruise trip along Huangpu River which was extremely interesting and memorable. The views along both banks of the river were so beautiful both day and night. We could enjoy the views and architecture of European buildings along the river more details and clearly.

Trip to the Ancient Capital of China by Jessica

June28

I got this tour from Beijing, the place where I worked lately. Yes, from Beijing, my family and I, we left the capital and took the high speed train to Xian, the old capital of China. This city has so much history and lots of landmarks to hit so I was very excited about getting here. From one month before we went to Xian, we already booked the tour via online or website. Yes, I did call the travel agency little bit to make sure our tour.

Terracotta Warriors

My trip in Xian began when tour guide picked us up in front of our hotel. We joined a bus tour or commonly said group tour, so we did visit landmarks of Xian with other visitors, foreigners same with us. First thought about our guide, she is a nice and polite person. Yes, our first day in Xian began with a visit to Terracotta Army. 3 hours we spent our time inside the ancient tomb complex of Qin Emperor or also can be said as the First Emperor of China. A visit to Xian would not be complete without explore Terracotta Army, it is the same condition for visit Beijing without hike on Great Wall.

Once we entered the huge tomb complex and I can personally felt some mysterious and sacred atmosphere around. There are 3 different pits to go and see, number 1 being the largest and most impressive. Hundreds of terracotta sculptures lined up in battle formation like they try to protect their emperor after life. Each sculpture of them has unique and impressive body structures. They are all hand crafted with different expressions, different hairstyles, they are all individual, different from one to another.

Big Wild Goose Pagoda

Then, with this tour we did also visit the Banpo Museum, an archaeological site of Banpo that belongs to the Yangshao Culture. There are display the unearthed production tools and domestic tools used by the Banpo people. Then another site is Big wild Goose Pagoda, a famous pagoda and one of the landmarks of Xian.

Overall, we are really happy with the service, our guide, the itinerary and lunch. Everything has met our expectation and we had a great day. Worth for every cent that we spent! Thank you for all the service!
