Tour Reviews:

Hello Lesley ,

Yes all is well here after a week of being home. As for China Connection Tours we will recommend you to Aussies travelling to China .We were very impressed with our tour guides Amanda and Bing who were very helpful in every aspect of our tour , even to helping my wife { who has bad hips } up and down steps when I wasn’t around to help .The drivers are courteous and safe drivers with clean and comfortable vehicles .Our tour guides spoke good understandable English and are very knowledgeable of the Chinese history ,and with their easy going attitude and good sense of humor we consider them to be friends .The luncheon venues were as expected with excellent food for western tourists and our guides kept an eye on us as they were not allowed to eat with us ,such a shame as it would make lunch more sociable .But i guess they have to have a break from us and eat typical Chinese food ???

Our stay in the Ibis Hotel Xi'an was much more enjoy able and was spotless and clean , comfortable with good breakfasts .We were very impressed the way guides Amanda and Bing picked us up from our hotels, train etc always on time and went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our tour of Beijing and Xi'an .The Cultural show on our last night was one of the highlights and Bing stayed and took us back to our hotel late that night even though he had an hour to travel home after. I was also very impressed to receive a phone call from you Lesley while we were in Xi'an airport on our way back to Beijing , it was a very nice to talk with you , it shows that you value your tourists . Thank you for a Tour to remember .Regards John and Pat Burdett
