Our very own cruise specialist headed to China recently and shared her experience with us.
“We had a wonderful time in China and Hong Kong,” shared Deborah.
“For Beijing, Xian, Guilin, and Shanghai we were picked up and escorted by our own personal guides. It was just the 5 of us with our own personal guide and driver,” said Deborah. She noted that they were also very good taking care of the group by picking us up, taking us to the hotel, showing us around, and checking in at the airports for them.
“The highlight in Beijing was the Great Wall. Other highlights included the Terracotta Warriors, Guilin scenery, and Shanghai skyline,” shared Deborah, “We were also lucky with the weather as we had sunny days everywhere we went. It only rained one evening during dinner in Xian but it stopped after our dinner.”
Deborah shared that the hotels were very comfortable and first class. “We got very spoiled with the breakfast every morning,” she noted, “but English was still a bit of a challenge and not everyone understands and speaks English. But we felt safe when we ventured out for a walk after dinner.” Deborah did some department shopping in Shanghai and met some very nice tour guides in each of the cities they visited.
“I felt more comfortable in Hong Kong as I could understand Cantonese and they spoke more English. But it was very hot and humid, 38 degrees but felt like 45 due to the humidity,” remembered Deborah, “We managed to get around using the MTR and actually spent half a day at Hong Kong Disney. The location of our hotel was fabulous. Just off the promenade and close to Star Ferry and Ocean Centre shopping.”
Anything to share with the readers? “I would definitely recommend Go-Way to organize the China trip to anyone else,” shared Deborah, “Thank you for your recommendation and we had a wonderful time. We too would love to go back to England and Paris at some point.”
We would like to thank Deborah for sharing her experience with us!
