Hi Evelyn,
Thank you so much for reaching out. I apologize for the delay, we have been very busy in our last few weeks of our China trip.
In regards to feedback for the 12-day cruise, it was fantastic. We were the only people on the boat who didn't speak Chinese and yet we felt so welcome and included. The staff (whether they spoke any English or not) went out of their way to treat us with kindness and incredible hospitality. One of the cruise managers, Leila, often came and interpreted for us exclusively while the other cruise manager was explaining things in Chinese. The tours were fantastic. We were able to learn so much about the different areas that we visited and every location was beautiful. And the food! Everything we ate was delicious. The chefs did an amazing job in providing wonderful food for every meal.
We have one very strange request. Whilst on the boat, there was a sauce there called noodle companion. If you could put us in touch with anyone who might know the recipe, we would be so grateful. We've been trying to find it on our whole trip through China because it was so delicious.
All in all, this was amazing experience and one of the best things we did in China. Thank you again for helping us organize it and please let us know if there's anything else you need from us.
All the best,
Courtney

2024 first feedback to the Chongqing - Shanghai Yangtze Panorama Cruise
- weather not too good, but warm greetings and prompt replies make for a satisfying journey.
-April 9, 2024-
It's a gloomy, wet and rainy day in Guangzhou, but you really brighten up our day by saving us from missing our cruise!
-April 10, 2024-
Good morning Samantha. FYI, we've checked in, checked through security and waiting to board the flight to Chongqing. Thanks again for your help
-April 11, 2024-
Thanks Samantha. We have a very good day. We are now safe on board and well fed.
-April 16, 2024-
Good morning Samantha. Yes we are enjoying the cruise, learning a lot about Chinese culture and cuisine. The weather however, is not cooperating. It's been cloudy, windy, cool and wet, not good for picture taking.
-April 17, 2024-
Weather was very bad in Jiujiang yesterday, so we had a very short excursion and couldn't see the real face of Lushan. Then it got worst as the ship couldn't set sail until this morning and missed Chizhou and Mount Jiuhua entirely. But it's what it is. No body can control the weather.
-April 21, 2024-
Sorry for the late reply. Sunrise was very nice and checked us into a nice room at 8:30 am. It's been a while since we were in Shanghai, and it is a wonderful, clean city that's very vibrant.
It has been sunny and warm the last four days.

Dear Leo,
It was a great tour! The staff on the boat were so nice and helpful! The accommodations were excellent. The food was so good. If I had one complaint it would just be how rushed everything is when you visit things off the boat. I understand why and know there is a busy schedule but it was so rushed to me. Sorry it took so long to answer. I had no mobile data all day.
The only place I felt it was really crowded was at the Fengdu Ghost City. Everywhere else had people but not too bad at all for China.
I saw some places were really busy. I heard a lot of people are traveling again. I have a lot of friends who have shown some interest in my cruise. When they ask me for more info about booking the cruise I will definitely send them your contact card. I will put some pictures on WeChat tonight. So many want to see some. That will help I think.

Hello Wonder,
The cruise was nice. Food was good, staff was nice. We upgraded to a room on the 6 floor, so we used the private restaurant.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks. We all got back home safely in one whole piece!.
We are happy with the services provided. You are a response person. You communicated with us frequently and made sure our requirements are met. The quotations provided are clear & reasonable, the payment instructions are clear.
Overall, we are happy with the services arranged. Because it was a lot easier to get to the faraway places with the organised driver and guide, rather than we have to organise it ourselves at the risk of being ripped off, or given a bum steer.
We are happy to provide you our group photo so that you can publish it into your website.
On behalf of our group, I thank you once again for your dedicated effort so that we have a great holiday in China.

Dear Rita,
Thank you for making the arrangements for my trip. It was very enjoyable and I am impressed by the reliable service that you rendered. Please feel free to add this to the testimonials by your customers.
Firstly, Rita, I appreciate your prompt response whenever I had a query on the booking or facilities available on the cruise. It is very reassuring to receive a reply and to know that my requests were being attended to.
Secondly, thank you for arranging for the guide and booking the train tickets. The train seats were well planned as we had ample space at the back for our large luggage. Porsche, the guide, was also very helpful and knowledgeable, she brought us safely into the train station, got our tickets for us so we did not have any problems. She shared interesting facts about the culture & history of Chongqing too.
Lastly, the cruise was enjoyable as we intended to have a relaxing trip, and the food was good.
I will be submit a more detailed review of the cruise in trip advisor, i hope that the review will help other travellers to decide on making their travel arrangements.
I will certainly recommend booking by www.yangtse-river-cruises.com to anyone!
Thank you, Rita.
Regards,
Susan

Dear Riley,
I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you for all your help and arrangements during our stay in China. The three guides (Carrie, Diana, Nancy) we had were excellent, and I should be grateful if you would pass on my appreciation to them directly.
We had a lovely time, especially on the cruise which was a wonderful experience.
Once again, thank you for all your hard work in ensuring our stay went without issue. I will certainly contact you again if we decide to do a similar holiday in the future.
With best regards,
Alison

Hi Yanny,
I just got back last week, Gmail was hard to open in China.
I am very happy with the tour arrangements, and I am glad that I have you and Mr Jim as local guide. My dad and I had a pleasant day in Chongqing before boarding the cruise in the evening and Mr Jim has managed to fulfilled our requests.
I’m willing to recommend our service to those who would like to come to China.
I am satisfy with the service I received and happy with the payment option, especially the last minutes help of purchasing domestic air tickets.
Thank you so much for making this a wonderful trip.
Cheers,
Renee

Hi Elk
We had a great trip. While the boat is old and certainly needs some work, the excursions were good and the service was fantastic. The food was mostly Chinese but enough variety that we didn't go hungry at all. We would recommend it.
Thank you for organizing

Evelyn,
Very well, thank you. Both guide and driver have been very helpful. Thanks.
We saw The Legend of Camel Bell show. This is really spectacular.
the hotel in Tashkurgan is superb. Love it. Thank you for your arrangement
The Kashgar one don't have breakfast and nearby, breakfast only starts about 10am, so it's not ideal.
Overall, it's been great. Thank you for the arrangement.

Hi Evelyn,
Thank you very much for your help for our trip. We love the trip so much and enjoy every minute of it.
The driver and guide, both in Chongqing and Yichang, are very helpful and polite, especially since we travel with both of our 82yrs old parents in wheelchairs. We loved the tour in Chongqing, and enjoyed the lunch provided in Chongqing and Yichang... good choice.
Jasmine arranges for the porter to carry both our parents from the moment they step out of the car until entering the lobby in the cruise, and this is definitely a pleasant surprise and experience for both our parents as they thought going into cruise will be quite difficult.
The cruise experience is also super nice, the meals are all delicious with a variety of food and drinks. The crew on the cruise are all helpful and pleasant, with limited English but still very helpful to us. Our parents enjoy the live music every night, especially the ones in the bar, they even sing and dance.
The cruise facility also makes our trip pleasant, they have laundry and drying machines, and also a gym available. The room (we stayed on the 5th floor) is nice, with a view from the balcony. Somehow we got the room just across the elevator which makes our parents happy as they don't have to walk far.
We will definitely recommend Century Oasis to our friends.
Again, thank you for everything.
Rgds, Yuli
