- This is a relaxing trip, really. Everything went on so smoothly. And we enjoyed ourselves in several cities of China, including Beijing, Kunming, Lijiang and Guangzhou. The sceneries are really breathtaking in Kunming and Llijiang. We love these two places most. As for food, I should mention the Beijing Duck in Quanjude. Smell good and taste fabulous. We appreciate those activities you organized for us such as the hot spring spa and we pretty like them. Thank you so much for all the job. I will recommend your agency to my friends and relatives and hope they will enjoy the service you provide as much as we did.

- "a pleasant tour"
- It is a pleasant tour. I think it far exceeds our expectations. From the beginning to the end, China Travel Depot offers us a perfect service, including the itinerary, the food, the hotel, the transfer and the guide. It is the best travel agency I have been with in the Asian traveling circles. You make us feel very comfortable and being cherished. I am sure you must have a lot of customers around the world now. As one of them, I hope to see you again in China next time. Of course, next time we, I mean, my wife and I will go with our babie. He/ she should go and see a great country like Chinas.

I am very satisfied with the service overall and would certainly recommend your travel agency to my friends and relatives and if I have another such trip to China, I'd be sure to go with your agency again.
