FANTASTIC HOLIDAY
Just wanted to let you know that we had the most fantastic time on our recent holiday to China. Please pass on to Helen Wong that the accommodation, flights, guides and especially our national guide (Mr Shoo) were exceptional. The holiday was way beyond what we had imagined and all the paperwork provided beforehand for reading certainly helped. We will certainly be recommending your company to our friends.

Thank you Helen Wong’s Tours
We have just returned one of your tours to China and would like to say thank you to your organization. We toured Guangzhou, Guilin, Xian and Beijing. The hotels were excellent, the itinerary was the same, we walked many miles, but it was worth it, it is amazing how much we saw in such a short time. The guides were all excellent and very helpful young people. Our group consisted mainly of mature age/senior passengers so the guides also needed and shown patience and extra helpfulness. Seeing the Terracotta Army in situ was and old dream of mine come true. I hope to return to China again sometime in the future, so keep me on your mailing list.

Everything runs smoothly in impressive Vietnam
Just wanted to let you know how very much we enjoyed the Glimpse of Vietnam tour and the following couple of days in Hong Kong. We had an absolutely marvellous time, and were very impressed with how smoothly everything went - the transfers between airports and hotels were seamless, the hotels themselves were very comfortable, and the tours we were taken on were carried out in the most efficient, friendly and professional manner possible. Thanks to the organising abilities and personal qualities of the tour guides. In Vietnam, Son Nguyen did an excellent job of looking after our group of 20 people. We were kept fully informed at all times of all aspects of the tour, and it was obviously important to him that everyone was comfortable and having a great time, and his warmth and friendliness endeared him to all of us!
Thank you again for your assistance with arranging our trip, responding to our enquiries, etc. We would certainly recommend Helen Wong's Tours to anyone we knew considering a similar trip.

“We travelled to Shanghai along with Graham and Marjorie Whybrow in May to visit World Expo 2010. Whilst Expo proved to be a bit too crowded for our taste, we want to let you know how impressed we were with our appointed guide Wu. Wu did everything possible to make sure we enjoyed our stay, even to the point of making sure that we were catered for on the extra days we stayed. She was well organised, prompt, friendly and polite at all times. We loved her!!!!”

Thanks for a wonderful trip.jpg)
I am home again from my China trip. All the arrangements went beautifully, apart from my travel wallet being stolen or lost. I think stolen, but thank you for emailing me the details. Everything was wonderful. The guides were great, especially Carolyn in Xian and Carman in Beijing. So thank you again for arranging everything. If you ever need a recommendation, I am happy to provide one.
In June 2010, I travelled to China for work-related matters. I was able to take 9 extra days and asked Helen Wong’s Tours to organise my trip for me as I was to travel alone and had not visited China before. I was delighted with the quick response and cost, and even more delighted with my 9 days in China. I had a truly wonderful time. My three guides were charming, helpful, flexible and informative. I particularly enjoyed my guide in Beijing (Carmen) with her background in Chinese history and culture. I saw and did everything I could fit into the short time in each city. My accommodation in Guilin, Xian and Beijing was excellent and the travel arrangements were perfect. The drivers were very kind, helpful and safe. Particularly helpful for me was being met at each airport and delivered to my hotel, regardless of the very late arrival in one case.

Fantastic time all round
My husband and I have recently returned from a trip to China and the UK. When in China we enjoyed a trip which was arranged through Helen Wong’s Tours. We stayed in Beijing from March 19-23, and our guide Jamie, along with the driver, was very accommodating indeed. Jamie’s English was excellent, and she was very helpful, and the driver coped ably with the traffic and was prompt and courteous.
Our visit to Xian, between March 23 and 25, was also much enjoyed, assisted by our guide Heather and driver Mr An.
Please accept our compliments and thanks.

Please accept our compliments
We have been back a couple of weeks now BUT I really wanted to say we had a fantastic time in China The guides you organised were fantastic: JJ in Shanghai & Lisa in Xi'an. We would thoroughly recommend both. (They were# punctual, looked after us and were just absolutely fantastic. The hotels you picked were very central and made our lives very easy.
One thing for your knowledge that we learnt re Expo. Getting into the CHINA pavilion is about impossible. Note - it is to remain as a permanent exhibition after the EXPO closes.
We queued up from 5am at one of the gates till 8am, then made a 400 /500 metre dash to the next barrier. BUT sadly whilst a close second group, #it# was not enough to get us tickets to the Pavilion. Some of the other pavilions that don’t have queues but are interesting and well worth a visit were Vietnam, Netherlands, also PICC #corporate area). The ferry ride was very nice from one side of the river to the other. The Chinese gardens were lovely/very relaxing.
And the water feature outside the Cultural centre was good fun on a hot day -- possible to take some nice pictures of the Cultural Centre.We almost felt we could have skipped the EXPO and just seen the fantastic sights of Shanghai. We are already thinking of a trip to Beijing next year.
Thank you for your assistance

Ecstatic about the trip
We went on your Mighty Yangtze Tour beginning in Shanghai on 3rd June and finishing 19th June in Beijing. Never having been on an organised tour before, we were not too sure what to expect. We are ecstatic about the trip! We felt pampered and totally spoiled every minute we were away. Our local guides were all so accommodating and we felt so privileged to be able to speak to so many Chinese nationals, which gave us a small insight into their lives.
The level of accommodation was fantastic and we had to pinch ourselves several times to ensure we weren't dreaming it all.
We thank you wholeheartedly for the tour and the high standard maintained throughout.
Yours Sincerely
Gail and Barry Peters, Mitchell Park, Adelaide, South Australia

We're back from our China trip, and what a fabulous trip it was. I couldn't resist myself from letting you know how impressed we were. We marvelled at the sights, the luxurious hotels, the food, and the excellent guides who gave us so much information.
The whole organisation was perfect - and for such an affordable price! Our group of 8 all got on like a house on fire, so much fun.
Thank you again,
Greetings from Nelly Van Der Goes and Douglas Fitzgerald

“YOUR COMPANY LOOKED AFTER US EXCEPTIONALLY WELL”
l am writing to tell you what a wonderful time we had on our visit to Beijing. Your company looked after us exceptionally well in all places, and l will make sure to speak personally with our travel agent here (in Australia) and highly recommend you.
l would like to bring to your attention the special care we received from (guide) Sally. She was a touch of gold to us in many ways and made our time very special. Sally organised for my Daughter, Teisha, to take a ballet class with a wonderful teacher. She is an amazing young lady and it is my pleasure to have met her. l found her to have a great knowledge of what Australians need in visiting your country (China). Our trip would not have been as good without her. We hope to have Sally visit us one day and enjoy the friendship we now have with her.
Warmest Regards and Best Wishes for the New Year,
