"We wanted to thank you so very much for the trip of a lifetime...18 wonderful days in China! Although we had friends who were in China last year, we really didn't know what to expect until we got there.... Bob and I especially liked the impromptu visit to the little Xi'an village that Bin arranged for us to see before our flight to Beijing. Because of your great planned itinerary, we were able to see Shanghai, the countryside, nine days on the Victoria Princess boat up the Yangtze River (with side trips to mountains, cities and the beautiful Lessor Three Gorges on a sampan), Xi'an and its Terra Cotta Soldiers and beautiful city wall and Beijing with all its wonderful attractions, especially the Great Wall. We enjoyed staying in gorgeous five-star hotels, tasting many Chinese meals from different regions and experiencing such entertainment as the acrobatic and opera/dance shows. We had many fun and different places to shop, and traveled in modern, air-conditioned buses. In other words, our tour was first class! Thanks again, Ray, for the wonderful job you did to make China our very special wedding trip. You are truly a professional, and we would not hesitate to recommend your company to all of our friends.

Best regards to you, Susy and Bob Moran, Chatsworth, California"

"My third trip to China and the very best! The personable and knowledgeable guides made my PacGate tour especially rewarding, with an unscheduled visit to a farm village school. There was a real commitment by PacGate Tours for me to see, experience and understand as much as possible about China in transition.

"I would like to say how much I enjoyed my recent trip to China with PacGate. EVERYTHING was planned and taken care of in a most professional manner. I have taken several cruises with one of the major tour and cruise companies - the PacGate tour was the best of them. On Holland American, each day a list of land tours was passed out and passengers could decide which (if any) they desired. Each one was from $35-$40 to $l50-$200 each and at the end of the cruise a bill was presented with all the tours on it. With PacGate EVERYTHING was included in our original tour price. PacGate tour was less expensive than any other trip/cruise I have taken.... The guides were able to answer any questions we could ask. On a personal note - we had two different passengers experiencing medical problems during the trip (neither connected with the tour) and both times tour representatives stayed with the passengers as they went to hospitals for treatment (Dr. Lee, the ship doctor, accompanied at least one passenger to the hospital). Both recovered by trip's end. I would not hesitate to recommend PacGate to others, or to take another trip with PacGate myself.

"THANK YOU, PacGate Tours, and our great travel guides, Ray, Bin, and Di for a fabulous 18-day journey to your country. It was an unforgettable adventure. Every day was filled with exploring the different areas we traveled to escorted by local, English-speaking guides. Ten days cruising up the Yangtze River over 1,300 miles was very educational, exciting, and memorable. Every detail of our travels aboard the riverboat and on shore at Shanghai, Xian, and Beijing were tended to expertly and professionally, both the expected and unexpected. The 5-star hotels and our luxury tour coaches were comfortable and as nice as any in the U.S. The food—well, it was different—a little bit of a challenge at times, but an important part of a foreign experience! As a single female traveling to never before experienced territory, I appreciated the companionship and safety of our group and guides. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to any of my friends who are looking for a great adventure and experience—not to mention an excellent travel value.

"Just wanted to tell you how much my husband and I enjoyed our time in Xian with all the VIP treatment. The welcome ceremony at the city wall was most impressive and the police escort quite exciting. (We were fortunate to be in the front seat one day). Thank you for the special treatment for our group. I enjoyed creating an album and the memories it brings of our Boulder City Hospital trip in August.....

"As our 12 day tour of China winds down to the last hours, I had to take the opportunity to express our most sincere & heartfelt grattitude for the experience we have lived on our tour. Thanks to the expertise & caring nature of our National Guide, Wu Di, I can assert that our tour exceeded all of our expectations. The attention to detail regarding food, accommodation, sightseeing, transportation insured the success of our journey. The local guides quickly knew how to best meet the needs of high school students travelling abroad, sharing just enough important facts with good humour. I must thank you personnally, for the expertise of your staff, which under the example of Wu Di, went out of their way to meet our needs, and ensure an unforgettable experience. I hope that I will have the pleasure of traveling again with you in the near future.

Sincerely, Sylvia A. Lamoureux, Canadian Group Leader"
