Dear Rita, thanks for your update. The driver will do the transportation from the airport to the hotel and the hotel to the airport again. Am I correct? Today was a beautiful day in Jiuzhaigou. I hope that tomorrow we will have one more time luck with the weather.

Dear Wonder,
How are you? Hope you are well. You organised a very nice trip for me to Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou way back in 2014.
You requested a review from me but I loaded to the wrong website. I came across the review today unexpectedly in my computer system and I would like to send it to you, to be used by your website. This is because I was very pleased by the trip that you organised for me. I was a lone female traveler but I still remember the lovely tour guides you found for me, especially the one at Chengdu.
I truly had a wonderful holiday and great memories.
I am now back in the UK. I certainly will use your tour service again if I ever travel to China the next time.
Take care in the pandemic.
Best wishes

6 Days/ 5 nights Chengdu/ Jiuzhai Valley Tour
I went on a 6 days / 5 nights private tour to Chengdu / Jiuzhaigou in
October 2014.I spent 2 days in Chengdu and the rest in Jiuzhaigou valley.
Since it was my first trip to China and I was a single female traveller,
understandably, I was initially apprehensive before the tour. However, all my
initial reservations disappeared once my tour began. I have decided to go on a
private tour because I could not find a group tour which can come up with the
itinery that I wanted.
From the onset, it was a pleasure to deal with Wonder. He made me a detailed
itinery, specific to my wishes , down to the hotels that I preferred. I must
say that he has honoured and stuck to our contract throughout my tour. He also
phoned my tour guides on a daily basis just to make sure the itinery went on as
planned and to make sure that I was ok.He was contactable at all times and any
problems were sorted out very quickly and efficiently. He was also very
accommodating and was willing to make changes in my itinery at very short
notice whenever possible.I have found him to be reliable and trustworthy.
The tour guides were all very professional and knowledgeable. I was very happy
with them.They spoke fluent English and were very knowledgeable about the
places that we visited. They took care of everything, from meeting me at the
airport, check- in into hotels, arranging for meals, transport, tickets for
shows and checking in for my return flights. I was impressed that they would go
out of their way to make my tour comfortable, hassle free and really tried to
give me a memorable hoilday. They were prepared to work till late evenings. As
a matter of fact, they would wait for me while I watched some shows in the
evenings and one of them was even so kind to buy me an adaptor which I had lost
in a hotel.
In Chengdu, I visited the Panda Research Centre, Jinli Street,Sichuan Museum
and a silk factory at my request. i was not obliged to visit any factories
throughout my tour.
Then, I flew on to Jiuzhai Valley and had another 3 days of private tours; 1
day in Huanglong Park and 2 full days in Jiuzhai National Park.I was glad that
I flew return to the valley because the roads up there are really winding and
being prone to travel sickness , it would have been a disaster for me to be
sick.
I was met by another tour guide there. I am really glad that I took a private
tour because I had my personal tour guide who walked with me at my pace
throughout the Jiuzhai National park. She knew all the scenic spots and
pathways by heart and made sure that I did not miss any important spots.Because
she knew all the places so well, we could cover most of the scenic spots on
foot in detail.She would walk with me and explain every lake, waterfall and
other spots. She explained in detail all about the history, myths, customs and
religion of the tribes there. It was an eye opener for me.I am sure I would not
be getting all these explanation if I had gone in a group tour.Most group tours
tend to be rushed but I was not rushed at all. I had ample time to take all the
photos that I wanted , time to have meals and some shopping for souveniers and
even short rests at beautiful spots where I could linger and just soak up the
magnificent natural beauty.
Jiuzhai Valley is an extraordinary , beautiful park. It is my personal opinion
that 2 full days are required to do the park justice. It is difficult to rush
through the scenic spots in a day especially when there are massive crowds and
queues everywhere.It was worth it to pay the hefty entrance fee for 2 days.
Because I had 2 full days, I could do a hike with my guide who accompanied me
throughout the trails to the 3 major valleys. I came away feeling satisfied and
had lots of marvellous photos to show.
I was especially pleased that on one occasion, my tour guide took me through a
small path , away from the tourist crowds. We walked at our pace and saw some
smaller lovely waterfalls and lakes. I did not have to jostle with the typical
crowds and could take my time to take some truly picturesque photos and videos.
I am convinced that if I had joined a group tour , I would not have been able
to see and explore the national park as much as I did.
My advice to travellers is to go on some fitness training before the tour. You
have to be prepared to do a lot of walking for this is the best way to see the
best views. Taking the bus to just the best scenic spots would be cheating and
would not do the park justice.The only downside of the trip was the crowds. Be
prepared for massive crowds, they can get unruly at times, especially when it
rains, so do bring a raincoat or umbrella.Also be prepared for the less than
ideal toilet facilities. Bring lots of tissues as handwash and tissues are not
provided.
Due to my excellent and friendly tour guides and Wonder's meticulous planning, I
had a fabulous holiday and a great time in China. I would highly recommend
Wonder Wang and his tour agency to all my friends and family. If I return to
China, I would certainly go through Wonder and his agency again. So, a big
thank you to Wonder and all my lovely tour guides for making my holiday a truly
memorable one!

Dear Riley,
We just arrived in Manila. Thank you again for sending us a gift. We really appreciate it. Also, thank you for organizing our wonderful trip. This trip is one of our unforgettable and great trips. Will surely recommend you and will surely book another trip with you. Martin and Mary is very insightful and detailed in every area where we head to. They really know what to share with us. Hotels and Foods are all fit with us. Our tummies and body were happy. haha! Also the roadtrip was smooth. But the van in Chengdu gives me a little headache due to the smell of smoke inside the car quite strong. But everything is OK. Thank You again.

Hi Riley,
Thanks for your email! We had a nice time at the panda enclosure.
Our guide’s service was good at jiuzhaigou and huanglong though we did expected more walking at jiuzhaigou instead of taking the bus on and off all the time. Tickets could be bought beforehand as well at jiuzhaigou so less waiting? But apart from that, everything was smooth sailing. Thanks!
Happy holidays!

Superlative team and organization
Review of China Discovery
Our group of 7 toured 3 weeks across China from Shanghai to Tibet. It was to be the trip of a lifetime, and it was. In my due process to search for the best itinerary and TA for us, I found Leo Li of China Discovery. Compared to other top in-China TAs, CD and Leo Li gave me everything I wanted including the best price for the desired itinerary. None of us were strangers to China. I was born there and had been there 5 times since, while the others had toured the capital cities but never the remote regions of Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet.
We were always prompted met with a guide as soon as we left the airport security area; we were transported in clean mini-vans with plenty of bottled water. It was always door-to-door everytime. We would be dropped off at one end and after the tour, the mini-van would be waiting for us at the other end -- no backtracking. Nothing was ever stolen or missing in the secured vans. The many guides we met were always courteous and spoke varying degrees of fluency but always well-informed. One even held my wife's hand as she walked slowly on icy pathways in Huanglong National Park.
Their pricing was reasonable -- better than if I booked myself. We stayed in not only elegant country inns, but also at Pullman, Sofitel, Shangri-la, and Grand Hyatt.
I have nothing but praise for Leo and his team. He is easily accessible 24/7. That is really necessary in China. His English is flawless, his personality infectious. We met him in Chengdu. Ask for Leo Li.

Hi Rita,
Yes, it’s was cold but after seeing Jiuzhaigou the lifetime experience is definitely worth it! Maybe we are just lucky in that day of visit rather than the snowing day just the day before at Huanglong.
Jason is a great guide.

Hello Jack
Thank you so much for organising our tour in China. The tourists destinations, tour guides and drivers as well as the hotels your company organised for us were very very good and comfortable. We enjoyed all the places we had been and it exceeded our expectations.
There were only two hotels we stayed (Zhangjiajie and Aba Songpan) that did not really cater well for breakfast during our stay. However the overall experienced we had were all valuable ones.
Lijiang Show was spectacular and was the highlight of the optional shows.
Driving from Songpan to Chengdu throughout the old road was an interesting journey, thanks to our very good driver.
Once again thank you for your professionalism, your prompt reply to our emails and making our stayed in China a memorable one and easy. We really felt that during our stay there we can easily access you together with our tour guides and drivers that were assigned to us we feel very much looked after, Thank you Jack and China Discovery Tours.

First of all thanks for all the support we got in the past few months.
I am dropping this note just to let you know the trip to SiChuan was very nice, the hotels were great and the two guides did a wonderful job with us.
By the way, the guide Danny in JiuZhaiGou, he was one of the best guides I got in China! Please share this feedback with him and I do recommend you keep using his services for foreign people as his attitude is great. The same comments you can take for Melody our guide at ZhangJiaJie.

Hi Isabel,
thank you for organizing this trip for us. Overall we were very pleased with all elements of our vacation.
Here's what was great:
The food! Each province has such delicious local cuisine.
Huangshan, Mutianyu Great Wall, Jiuzhaigou, Yangtze River, Zhangjiajie, Li River and Longji Terraces were the highlights.
Momo, Shila, Waldner, and Alex were our favorite guides as all four had excellent English and great personalities. The 4 and 5 star hotels were nice and comfortable. The drivers/guides who would provide us with unlimited free bottles of water to drink each day.
Your helpfulness during the flight delays and cancellations was great appreciated. We'd certainly recommend your services to others. Looking forward to reviewing the thousands of photos we took and reliving our memories.

Hi Isabel,
Back to work in singapore, feel so tired. It was a great trip in sichuan last week. The scenery is fantastic and the guide is very accommodating. Was expecting jiuzhaigou to be very beautiful like what many singaporeans say but it was just alright and way too crowded and squeezy. In fact i felt that huang long and er mei shan was much nicer and peaceful as there are less people.
The hotels were great and our favorite is fraser suites whereby we slept very soundly. The guide is very nice and accompanied throughout our hike. The driver is a very cautious and good driver. It was a very pleasant experience as compared to my other private tour to xi'an and luoyang back in november.
Really appreciate the fact that you called to check on us when we were in Leshan. Your correspondence via email and call was great and recommendable. Really appreciate your help.
