China Highlights made our stay in Hangzhou great
China Highlights (CH, for short) helped us create an amazing multi-city tour of China and we were very pleased with how it turned out. CH took care of the train tickets, the plane tickets, making sure the practical aspects of our itinerary made sense (what time to leave one place to make sure we made it to the right train, etc.). CH booked great hotels that were very well located, arranged local transportation for us in each of the cities we visited in comfortable cars that accommodated all of us … in sum, made sure we did not have to think about the logistics and could enjoy our trip. In Hangzhou, CH arranged for Derek to be our guide. Derek is great: he is knowledgeable, patient and super organized - his timing was impeccable (and by this I mean he had this ability for the car to meet us exactly where he wanted at the time we arrived, which is, well, quite something) -, he is a great communicator and his English is phenomenal. Derek took us to the highlights of the city, regaled us with history and with stories, explained the overall city and allowed us to enjoy this wonderful masterpiece of urbanism that is the beautiful Hangzhou. We are super grateful to China Highlights and Derek for an amazing stay in Hangzhou. more
