Hello - I am Heather Wu's husband. We really enjoyed everything today. Kai is a great guide and we are looking forward to tomorrow. I met a guest at the hotel and he is with his family. 5 passengers. He would like an English guide and driver. He already purchased tickets for tomorrow, but does not have guide or driver and is staying for 2 days. I told him that your company did a great job. Really is a good service company!!!

We had an incredible time exploring Dali with Wandrift China Tour. The ancient towns, peaceful Erhai Lake and stunning snow-capped Cangshan Mountain took our breath away. Dali’s slow lifestyle, fresh air and unique local culture are absolutely charming. Every arrangement was well-organized, and our guide was friendly, professional and thoughtful. Thank you so much to Wandrift China Tour for creating such a wonderful and memorable Dali journey for our family. We truly enjoyed every moment.

We fell in love with the slow, gentle vibe of Chengdu, home to cute pandas and tasty local snacks. Chongqing amazed us with its unique mountain city views, magical night scenery and authentic hot pot. Every moment was romantic and relaxing. The local culture, warm atmosphere and delicious food made our trip perfect. It has become our most precious travel memory together.

The car is brand new. V rented it for two days: one day for a 10-hour tour in Hong Kong, and one day to take us to Shenzhen to visit and then return us to Hong Kong later that evening. NOT BAD.
