All of the places on this trip were different from each other which made the whole experience valuable. Our guides were generally all good English speakers, Yom in Yangshuo was without doubt the most wonderful and made a huge effort to get to know us and our interests, Rain in Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang was a close 2nd, he answered our questions about more than just the places we were visiting and had a relaxed manner. The travel agent contact Ben of Silk Road tours was always available to answer questions promptly and upgraded our final hotel stay when we queried the hotel. If I had to criticise at all it was that each guide had not always been given the information on our next place, but they always found out for us once asked.Show more
