Eu e minha irmã, que mora em Hong Kong, fizemos um tour privado, de três dias, com guia em espanhol por essa agência. O atendimento foi maravilhoso: dos contatos feitos com a funcionária Joyce ao atendimento da guia Luna. Queremos agradecer à Luna, pelo carinho, competência e atenção. E também ao sr. Lee, nosso motorista que, apesar de não falar inglês e espanhol, se comunicou muito bem com a gente. Super recomendamos essa agência, que tem um preço excelente e guias que falam línguas diversas. Para nós brasileiros, o idioma em espanhol nos possibitou aproveitar o conhecimento maravilhoso da nossa guia e aprendermos um pouco da história e cultura desse país maravilhoso, que é a China.
