Waalaikumsalam

Good to hear from you again as I just about to email.

Firstly, me and my family that was in the trip would sincerely say thank you for the excellent tour and an amazing journey. As a whole, we're really happy and satisfied with the tour from the accomodation, guiding, meals, etc. We'll definitely recommend IslamiChina company to anybody that wanted to experience China and seriously when any of our friends/relatives going to China I'll ask them to contact your company. Thumbs up!!

Few details that worth to mentioned,

Hotel
- The best hotel we like is New Henderson in Xian, very spacious room with excellent choices   of food during breakfast.
- The second best hotel we like is Hong Ye Hotel in Shanghai, good size room and hotel   staffs but very little choice on the food during breakfast.
- The least hotel we like is Braim Seasons Hotel in Hangzhou, the room is quite small, air-  conditioned not function properly which at night can be very hot esp. warm air trapped in   the small room (we've inform the hotel about this unfortunalty the same problem still   occur), however we're satisfied with the breakfast.

Tour guide
- Mr. John tour guide in Hangzhou/Shanghai is an asset to your company; very knowlegable,   dedicated, helpful, friendly and I must say one of the best tour guide I've encounter   after travelling to many countries.
- Ms. Zoe in Beijing is also a great tour guide!
- Ms. Lily in Xian is also good but she is quite quiet person.

Meals
Overall, meals is gooood, delicious and excellent choices. However, we didnt get our lunch in Xian on the second day as our flight is at 1.30pm, arrived at Hangzhou and after checkin to hotel straight away went to early dinner at around 5pm. Just a small suggestion maybe next time, the flight time can be extended to around 3 or 4 pm (after lunch) and dinner in Hangzhou can be done around 7 - 8pm.

Lastly, could you please give me your, Mr. John, Ms. Zoe and Ms. Lily correspondence address? I would like to sent a thank you card.

All you helps is very much appreciated and may Allah grant you the best deeds.

Many thanks

best regards

Best of China Muslim Tour (Shanghai/Suzhou/Hangzhou/Xian/Beijing)

The trip was very very good. the guides were all very good, and taking example of Mr. moosa, the guides easily got to know the groups temperament and were very much part of the group the hotels were all above standard, and so were the meals. i do not think there was anything negative about the whole tour. i for one will definitely call on you when fellow South Africans wish to visit china, and will be in touch with your company. Once again, a very big thank you to you all and all your staff

kind regards

The Great Wall Muslim Tour

Your guide Musa speaks fluent English, and he told us a lot about the Great Wall and Mings Tomb. He also showed us on the way a mosque and a little bit story about Muslims in Beijing. He was also very flexible with the schedule given the fact that we have small children. He also helped us to bargain in a souvenir shop - although at the end we decided not to buy that. He also took us for lunch at a restaurant with possibility to do midday prayer there.
IslamiChina management was also helping us by providing fa piao needed, even though it means delivery after our tour.
One improvement potential should be that the sedan car was too small for us, even the folded baby car can not be put inside the trunk because it was full. The trunk should be empty before any trip. As the result our feet should be folded during all the trip.
Best regards,

Dear Mr. Shiraz Malik, Salaam Alaikum

My name is Kazim Akbar and I, my wife, daughter and grand daughter went to China in the group of Dr. Khalid Rehman. It was a wonderful trip and an extraordinary vacation. It turned out to be more like a vocational trip with immense learning experience.  I must congratulate you for planning the trip to its finest details. And full credit should also go to Mr. Yusuf and Mr. Johan of ICT tours for executing the plan effectively- like clockwork.

As a retired Army Officer, who served through two wars, I am well aware, how much it takes to plan Logistic Support for an Operation and what is involved in its execution. I can say, therefore, that planning on your part and its execution by ICT was done with Military Precision. There is so much that I can say about the finer details. But I will only mention some of the remarkable facilities that we enjoyed. We didn’t have to show our passports and register to check-in. Hotels had already received details of the guests. Our National Tour Guide gave us room keys as soon as we arrived at the hotel. We were divided in groups named after the color given to our bus. Our baggage went to to one floor accordingly. And it was taken out before check-out, and sent directly to the airport. We didn’t have to buy our ticket and get Boarding Pass. Imagine 200 people lined up for checking in at the airport and baggage weighing. It would have consumed hours standing in lines. We got our boarding pass on arrival and moved straight to the departure gate. What a VIP treatment.

Before leaving Pakistan we were apprehensive about the type of food we will get in China. We thought of carrying canned food as well. But what a surprise. We ate at Muslim restaurant in every city every day. Quality and variety of food was such that it was a treat every time. Yet some people wanted to go for Pizza and missed eating it. You might hear complaints from some disgruntled participants. I can say that these would be those of the kind who always complain and grumble. They become miserable because they see their glass half empty; unlike the happy people who see their glasses half full.

That is not all I have to say. I can go on and on describing how much was done for our enjoyment and what a great experience and education it has been for us. I must also say that our group was the luckiest to have Angela as our National Guide. We were called the ‘Brown Bus’. Angela was full of knowledge about the History and culture. But what made her dear to all of us was her warm personality and how much care she took for our comfort. She was more than a guide; she was our host and we became her pampered guests. She was there to provide help even after the day was over. Mahvish, my 19 year old grand daughter simply adored her. Angela’s personal charm made our group as one family and we would shout like children in response to every question she asked. Soon we became envy of the other groups. No other bus had the same harmony, friendship and tolerance as Brown Bus. On the last day as we said farewell to Angela; our spokesman asked what we thought of her. Answers came: She is wonderful; she is helpful, she is caring, she is affectionate, she is beautiful; she is the best guide- She is Professional. My narration would be incomplete if I don’t mention our last Local Guide. That was Mr. Yin. I called him Commnder Yin. It was amazing to see his love of romance, hear his mythical love stories, his grasp of historical knowledge and his humor. Yet he had been a military man. He created an atmosphere of participation by the Brown Bus riders. We enjoyed his stores told in his peculiar accent which we began to like very much.

At the end I would say that I and my family (We were a family of seven members) owe much gratitude to you, to Mr. Yusuf, Mr. Johan and to Angela for the most memorable vacation of our life.

With best wishes and regards

Muslim Group Tour, Best of China 11 Days

Just wanted to write and let you know what a wonderful time we had on our recent trip to China (May 1st – May 13th, 2010).

Your arrangements were first class and went off without a hitch from Domestic travel, Accommodation & the buffet of dishes. We appreciated your professional advice and expert planning.

The hotels were outstanding and very comfortable. The drivers (Mr Jhang/Chen/Ghour & Yao) were formal and pleasant and the guides (Jessica/Lin/Sarah) throughout the tour were superb in terms of their in depth knowledge, personality and approachability. We had only one exception which applies to “June” who was our guide in Xian. We found that she had a negative attitude towards foreigners & we felt fairly uncomfortable with her throughout our stay in Xian.

Our stay at the Ramada Hotel in Shanghai at the end was just the tonic we needed. If ever your clients feel in need of a few days of pampering in ultimate luxury this is certainly a place to recommend.  We absolutely loved it!

We will certainly not hesitate to suggest you as a travel agent well equipped to handle a similar trip if any of our family/ friends ask us.
