TRAVELER REVIEWS
We have contracted with the Travel Agency in China for 15 days in June on a private trip of a route through Xina. Contact the agency online, Flor contacted me on WhatsApp and clarified at all times my doubts and fears of hiring this type of trip. We have visited Beijing, Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Xi'an Pygnau, all the excellent professional guides, most of them speak Spanish, punctual, and solving any doubts that we may have, offering us options to be able to do on our own once the route is finished. Flor has been in contact with us throughout the trip. Hotels within its category very well as well as excellent cars.
We have traveled to China this past October with dreamchinatour. The experience has been very positive and satisfying. There have been no problems with hotel reservations or internal transportation, and punctuality and seriousness have been relevant. We have been to Beijing, Tibet, Xi´an, Chengdu, Guilin and Shanghai. An unforgettable trip, advised at all times by CARLOS, our agent in dreamchinatour. We want to point out that due to the celebration of the Communist Party Congress, in the absence of very few days for the start of the trip, it had to be restructured in order to visit Tibet before its closure to foreigners. CARLOS solved the unexpected problem efficiently and professionally, offering us alternative solutions. In summary, a pleasant stay in China whose visit we highly recommend to those who do not know it. Do not hesitate to contact CARLOS, especially if they are Spanish speaking.
a fantastic trip where we have been able to enjoy incredible places and cities as well as get to know more about its people, to a great extent it has been possible to the good work of the agency Travel in China (in our case travel in China) by the very good organization personalized at CARLOS that has been very proactive from the beginning, giving solutions to our questions and doubts, as well as a very close treatment.
