It was a great trip in general. The food was good and the accommodation was also good. Our tour guide Gary is very thoughtful, responsible and friendly, e.g. he was always paying attention to our safety, body strength, and the need for frequent rest room stops, especially for all the elder people in our group. The only thing could be mentioned to improve in the trip is the amount of activities for a day. Due to the members in our group are mostly elder people, the activities in a couple of days in the trip were quite tired and even exhausted.
I wanted to express our deepest gratitude for being such a wonderful tour guide ( Henry) during our recent trip to Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou. Your enthusiasm, and warmth truly made our journey absolutely unforgettable. Thank you so much.
My husband and I enjoyed our Yangtze River Adventure guided tour very much. It was an excellent experience. We want to thank our tour manager, Jacky Gong, for providing us the excellent services and care in the whole duration of this trip. We also want to thank all of our drivers and local tour guides for their great services as well.
Jacky had worked tirelessly to make this trip a memorable one for us. Jacky and all of the local tour guides were very professional in providing us the details regarding the histories of the attractions in the different cities that we had visited.
We were especially impressed by the professionalism of the tour guide named “Tiger” who was touring us around Mount Huangshan. We enjoyed the stories told by “Tiger” at each major scenic spot during the Huangshan sightseeing tour. It is a pleasure to learn from “Tiger” that Mount Huangshan had gained the Chinese Government’s attention, support, and funding in order to develop it into a more accessible National Tourist attraction for the People after China’s leaders including Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin had visited Mount Huangshan and valued the spectacular sceneries of Mount Huangshan.
The Yangtze River Cruise with Victoria Cruise line “Isabella” was another wonderful experience. This was the 2nd time that we had joined the Victoria Cruise Line to cruise along the Yangtze River. The scenic views are so beautiful although they looked different from what we had experienced in the summer of 1998. The conditions aboard the current Victoria Cruise Line are much more comfortable and luxurious than they were back in 1998.
We also like to thank Angel He at the Peony Tours’ booking department for her help and patience in answering many of our questions before we decided to join this tour.
Overall was good. All of the hotels were clean and comfortable. But I hope we can spend more in the scenic area, rather than rushing off to see a show when we were in Jiuzhanigou.
The tour guide, Davis, was very professional, flexible and hard work. There was plenty of food, except it's very rich and spicy for us, most of us in the group are Cantonese. But Davis did request more non-spicy food for us. In our group, most of us are seniors. Daivs did adjusted the pace to accommodate. I will suggest on your brochures and advertisements to let people know that there is a lot of walking and stairs involved, and in high altitudes area.
Itinerary of 6 days fit my planned visit to Chengdu
city and Jiuzhaigou. Only comment is the need for tour guide to ask the f anyone needs English translation.

1. The size of the group, 20 was manageable and the right size for the various sights.
2. The weather held up quite well and made this trip enjoyable and memorable.
3. Impressed by the two grottos that we visited.
4. We walked on an average of 6 miles per day which helped in seeing a variety of sights. This aided in working off the meals which averaged approximately 10 dishes for lunches and dinners.
5. Very good variety of daytime and evening events.
