“Great and Wonderful journey with Scarlett”

Scarlett is an excellent guide for our trip of 4 persons to Huangshan from Hangzhou for 5 days. She was very prompt in communicating with us, before and during the trip. She was very very patient with us, all over 65 years old hence climbing steps is a challenge, in guiding us when we walked up the Huanghsan Mountain. Along the way Scarlett  pointed out and explained various significant historical locations and great lookout spots along Huanghsan Mountain. She arranged the best time for us to set out to avoid crowds at various places at Huangshan Mountain. Scarlett greatly helped us to communicate clearly when we were at the hotels during check-in and at other times that enables us to have a pleasant stay, especially in Huangshan Mountain.  We engaged Scarlett with a car and a driver which Scarlett arranged, and it was a very comfortable electric 7 seater vehicle with a very good, patient & friendly driver. She also arranged for us to stay in quaint hotels inside picturesque scenic ancient towns, and included guided tours in Xidi. Other scenic towns include Hongchun, Huangling and Wuyuan. Scarlett patiently explained the historical significance and cultural development of the places we went so that we can appreciate what we experienced at the ancient scenic towns. Being an accredited tourist guide she could get quick access for us, being foreigners, in places that we visited and for the intercity train tickets as well. She always ensure that we are satisfied with our itinerary each day, and is always very flexible to where and when we decided to go for sightseeing places and even excellent local food, which she will recommended for us to choose along the way. Some of these unplanned places for food and local shopping streets exceeded our expectations. Scarlett is indeed not just a guide, but a great friend that the 4 of us had found.

When you are ready for your next adventure, I will always be here to welcome you back to China with open arms! Wishing you all the very best, robust health, and many more happy travels ahead!

“Glad we went with John”

We had a really enjoyable tour of the Forbidden City with John. He was upbeat, friendly and pleasant throughout the day, and everything was very well organised. John was punctual and managed the timing of the tour extremely well. We were able to see everything planned without ever feeling rushed, and he still made sure there was plenty of time for bathroom breaks, photos and stopping when we needed to. A real highlight was that John managed to arrange access for us to an exclusive robot tour, which was a fantastic and unexpected addition to the experience. John’s positive attitude and easygoing manner made the day very enjoyable. We really appreciated the effort he put into making sure everything ran smoothly and that we had a great experience at the Forbidden City. Thank you, John!

Dear Mr. Donald, I am deeply touched and truly grateful for your wonderful feedback following our two‑hour visit to the Forbidden City. It was such a privilege to accompany you through this magnificent imperial complex, where centuries of Chinese history unfold amid its grand red‑walled palaces and golden‑tiled halls. I hope those precious moments wandering among these timeless architectural treasures have left you with lasting, cherished memories of Beijing’s royal heritage. Your generous words mean a great deal to me, and they serve as a heartfelt encouragement for my work. Please accept my warmest regards to you and your beloved family. Should you ever return to China in the future, it would be my greatest honour to welcome you once again. With sincere appreciation, John
