We had a wonderful and memorable journey through Yunnan and Guizhou with Peony Tours. The itinerary was rich and diverse, offering beautiful scenery, fascinating local cultures, and many unique experiences along the way.
A special thank you to our tour leader, Ocean Hu, who was excellent throughout the trip. He was attentive, responsible, and always made sure everyone was well taken care of. We would also like to give special recognition to our local guide in Guizhou, Ah Fu, whose professionalism and knowledge made our experience even more enjoyable. Both deserve a big thumbs-up!
The only suggestion would be to allow a little more free time in the itinerary. While we appreciated seeing so many wonderful places, the schedule was quite packed and sometimes tiring. A slightly more relaxed pace would make the experience even better.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable and rewarding journey. Thank you to Peony Tours and especially to Ocean and Ah Fu for making this trip so memorable!
We have been long-term customers of Ritz/Peony Tours, so when Peony started their new Yunnan-Guizhou tour, we took advantage of the opportunity to go. Again, Peony exceeded our expectations. I personally don't speak Mandarin though my husband does a little bit, but the bilingual guides made the tour enjoyable for us. In particular, our tour manager, Ocean, was amazing as usual (I had him before) with professionalism, details, organization, group harmony, personal attention, and excellent English! Our local tour guides in both Guizhou and Yunnan were also very good and attentive. I'm already signed up to go with Peony again next year to China's Northeast (Harbin, Shenyang, Dalian, Changbaishan) and I know that it will for sure be amazing. As for this Yunnan-Guizhou, we highly recommend it with Peony! You will not be disappointed.

Everything is well organized and planned as we expect. That also depends on the members in the group. This time we have someone who I don't think follow the time schedule in each place we visited and messed up with the plan and time for the whole group, but Jeff figured out the situation and got things moved well!

Ann and Sinan work very well to make it a wonderful trip. Both shared us a lot of knowledge about the country/people/history/etc. and Sinan pushed it very hard on hot air ballon ride. We had a great time and learned a lot about Turkey and its history.
This is the first trip I am joining Peony Tours to Europe for 12 days. I am pleased the service provided by Peony staff. Especially our tour guide Mr. Davis Xie and he is very detailed person and funny guy and made our days goes smoothly and happy during in Europe and I want to thank you all the friends who we spent time together with respectful and happy. we have 32 people travel together in a big group. All the good memories will be in my soul forever. One thing I have comment about the Hotel in Italy. Grand Hotel Croce di Malta. Room provided by this Hotel is very tiny when you open the door and enter room you will see the bed right in front of you!!! I am not happy about this type of Hotel.

We had a good week long tour at Hokkaido. The space is georgeious, good seafood, good spring bath. The tour guide Ling Yu Zhang is very experienced and showed us so much culture during the trip. She also adjusted the itinerary based on the weather and added more spots.
