Testimonials

"Thank you very much Emilie, we had a great stay with some great encounters. We'll meet up in 2 years for a trek in Chinese Tibet, it made us want to go"

"Thanks to Emilie to have set up a full trip in Sichuan and Yunnan.
You tailored this trip to our best expectations, driving to most interesting discoveries in many places, from busy Chengdu to remote Yunnan villages.
Moreover, you've be very supportive during the tour, by staying constantly in touch."

"What an adventure in the Badain Jaran desert! Thanks to Emilie for having organized everything perfectly (transfers to the desert, nights with locals, meals, end of the day on camels for tired children, supplies, luggage management...). We took full advantage of this trek in wonderful landscapes of endless megadunes"

"I recommend without hesitation Émilie allowed us to discover China from another perspective, between the countryside and major sites. A tailor-made trip! The guides speak perfect French and are very attentive 🙂 it was really great A big thank you"

"Hello Emilie, the wall and the village were truly exceptional - Thanks again to Bei for accompanying us. Honestly the level of comfort of the courtyard is really good and the Ahies (no idea of ​​the spelling) took great care of us .... "

"Thank you Emilie for putting together 3 days in Beijing for me in such a tailored and comprehensive way. I really appreciated Laura, the French-speaking guide who was a great help to me, as well as the driver, helpful and attentive despite our rather limited means of communication 😉 If by chance I came back to visit China, I would not fail to call on your services!"

"I'll take this opportunity to give you the following feedback: Harbin is great and the hotel is really great for vacation/relaxation. Volga Manor is interesting - even though we didn't have much of an expectation. The tigers were my son's favorite moment of the whole trip... along with skating on the lake at the Summer Palace! ..."

"Thank you again Emilie and Tashi for this magnificent and completely extraordinary trip, we will keep an incredible memory of it! The landscapes that we were able to discover were absolutely stunning, the monuments were..."

"Great journey here in Cambodia, we enjoyed the visits and the program was super! In Thailand I'm happy we decided to go to Sukhotai, the place is spectacular"

"We just came back from our Yunnan trip which Travel Stone arranged for us. From Kunming we drove to the Southern part of Yunnan where on the way we stopped in Jianshui, Yuanyang, Ximeng and ended in Xishuangbana area. It was an amazing trip whith beautiful landscapes and wonderful hotels. The driver/guide safely brought us from A to B and kindly adjusted the daily schedule to our requirements. I can only recommend this type of travel. "

"The agency always booked for us guesthouses in very beautiful places that were used to receive foreigners but were also very authentic and in beautiful local architecture. I enjoyed the travel itinerary and the care with which everything was handled. I was positively impressed by FuJian because although it is a very famous spot it is much more protected and genuine than places like Yunnan that are beautiful but have become extremely commercial. I truly recommend it!!"

"Hello,
The trip was enjoyed by the whole family.
The pace was right, we had more interaction with the locals this time around and the people are super nice. Whales, dolphins and turtles: very good. In short, a good memory!
Thanks
Sandrine."

"Whenever we had any issue or question, Emilie answered right away. We could always rely on her answer.
We planned our trip on short notice and she responded and managed very well and professionally ...."

"We have used the services of Travel-Stone to organize a trip in Xinjiang in July 2021. The period was under Covid restrictions with many changes in regulations and places where foreigners were not allowed. We were a group of 20 people ..."

"It was great, we had a wonderful time and it was so nice to learn more about the culture and history! Sophia"    "It was a great trip. The guide was really good. Kanbula was beautiful. It is a nice site to visit. Alex"

"Hi Annabelle! We had a fantastic time! Weather was okay, but I did get a bit sick on the dunes. It wasn’t the driver’s fault, it was just motion sickness on my part. Otherwise we had a fabulous time and got to see so many unique places in China. Thank you for setting this trip up for us."

"Hi Annabelle
Although I'm a bit late, I'm getting back to my list of emails! Here's some more feedback for you:
- Beijing guide and driver both very nice with a good and welcome sense of humor!
- drivers in Xi'An and Shanghai were less warm ..."

"Thanks a lot to Travel Stone (and Annabelle in particular) for organizing our stopover in Beijing. It was a first for us, as we usually travel by our own means. Several ideas were suggested to us, and after a few emails and pieces of advice from Annabelle, we chose the itinerary that would best suit us. It was incredible! ..."

"Very good organization as soon as we got out of the airport. Huanghuacheng section of the Great Wall is splendid. Alone on the wall, we felt secluded from the rest of the world! The driver then took us to a small restaurant with tasty typical dishes! ..."

Our family of three traveled to China at the end of October for 12 days (Beijing, Xi'An and around Guilin). Everything was remarkably well organized: hotels, transfers, guides, domestic transportation..."

"Hi Annabelle,                                                                      We arrived home after this fabulous trip! Our stopover in Beijing went very well. It took us 2 hours to get out of the airport (a lot of people were going through the security checks) and your driver must have been waiting for us a long time, alas. Our getaway to Beijing city centre was short but..."

"Hi Emilie, hi Isora,
Here's finally a short feedback about our trip. All in all, everything went really smoothly. In terms of the itinerary, the weather wasn't on our side when we were at the rice terrace fields of Ping'an. We arrived there at night, which would be better to avoid as the darkness doesn't make it very interesting..."

"Hi Emilie, 
Our way back went very well and we are now back to our daily lives, after a week to readapt. We are going to give you a feedback on the strong and weak points of our trip, but this feeling only relates to our choice of destinations..."

"My first trip to China, which won't be the last! Everything was amazing: being welcomed at the airport, the meeting at my hotel to talk about my itinerary... I instantly felt that I was taken care of and that I wasn't alone..."

"Our driver was waiting for us at the airport as planned. We were in touch with the travel agency all along the trip. We discovered a particularly wild section of the Great Wall and everything went as planned. The good things: the perfect organization of the trip by the agency, and the quality of services. The less good things:..."

"Very dense and well-structured trip, we don't get bored and the important sites of Tibet are included. The drive takes us through somptuous landscapes. We appreciated the stop at the Everest Base Camp: the monastery visit, the walk around, the night under a tent at a Tibetan family, the sunset and sunrise on the summits... It was all really great..."

"Hi Emilie, 
Our trip went really well. Our 7-people group particularly appreciated the activites that you planned for us: 
- the Forbidden City and Beijing museum visits with the guide Michael were an enriching introduction to China and Beijing history
- the hike at the Great Wall was exceptional as we felt alone and priviledged in a green mountain setting (not a single high building on the horizon!)..."

"We discovered the Silk Road, with splendid desert landscapes, impressive painted grottoes, a mind-blowing history and cities with a very a very authentic atmosphere (Dunhuang and Kashgar).  
The drive from a place to another was done in the afternoons, which sometimes reduced the time allowed for the visits. Maybe we could have done them at the end of the day and arrive later at the hotel..."

"A trip to China very well organized by the local agency. Drivers and guides came at the meeting points on the right date and time, which made our trip and visits easier in a country where people don't speak English. A special thanks to the French-speaking guides Laura (Luo) in Beijing and Marianne in Xi'an for their kindness, pedagogy, good advices and disponibility..."

"Very varied types of visits, new discoveries, a good organization, cautious drivers, frequent stops while driving. Breakfasts at the hotels weren't great, no coffee, no tea, no fruit juice, nothing planned for Western people and moreover the food was cold..."

"Hello,
Thanks for your message. Yes, the end of our trip went very well. In terms of our guides, our feedback is mitigated: in Beijing, we think you work with a very good person and we really appreciated her. Her French level is really good and her general knowledge make her a very good guide, and not only on the scheduled visits. In Xi'An however we felt like our guide was more concerned by her personal issues than the visits. For the food tour, Michelle was great..."

"We made a one-week trip (13th to 21st April 2019) to China with Emilie from Travelstone.fr. It was a splendid experience in a magical setting (Beijing - the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Parks, Tiananmen Square...). A special mention to Travel Stone for their hotel choice in Beijing and restaurant recommendations (Mister Che, the Food Tour...) ...

"Hi Emilie,
Thanks for organizing such a great tour to Yunnan for us. The last minute changes were quite favorable to the trip schedule. You'll find below Martin and Pauline's feedback on the first three days of their trip...

"Hi Annabelle,
We are finally back home and delighted to see all the photos from this beautiful trip...
We thank you for the organization of all the visits but also for the choice of hotels, taxis and both guides. We liked everything during this journey, especially Guizhou province and Phoenix that were more authentic..."

"Dear Emilie,
We followed your advice and walked to Parkview Green, where we had a nice time. Thank you for organizing the two days with Michael which were very interesting. 
Best regards. 
Marie-Claire"

"We are absolutely delighted about our trip, it was such a change of scenery! It was great. "

"Emilie made us a trip proposal that was above our budget. We made some changes, choosing the places we most wanted to see and 3 days of services. The driver welcomed us at the airport to take us to our hotel..."

"I couldn't recommend this trip enough and especially at this period of the year: zero tourist around us! It was a very good trip and probably one of my favorites - next time you can take us to Mongolia for the Golden Week! and you can suggest us a nice destination for the Tomb festival..."

"A perfect weekend. The organization was great, which delights us in advance for our next trip."

"A very well organized trip on all levels, in terms of cultural visits, fun activities and hikes. Our group was composed of people between 48 and 74 years old, and everyone found their interests..." 

"Hi Emilie,
Just a small word to thank you for the organization of last week's trip..." 

"Hi Emilie, 
Great! The driver is really good! He's very reassuring, drives prudently and knows Chengde very well!
Thank you for the organization!
Laurence"

"Hello,
Our stay went very well. We liked Beijing very much. The sidecar tour was a nice activity which made us discover the city. We really enjoyed the Great Wall section as there weren't many people..." 

"Hello to both of you. We arrived home safe and sound after this trip that was as magnificent as chaotic. In the end, we'll keep only the good memories (and there are many of them) and we'll come back for what we couldn't do. We regret the caravan but instead we had the opportunity to discover the Norden Camp, which we absolutely loved..."

"Hi Émilie,
Our trip and its organization were perfect. We were delighted with our three guides. We will obviously ask again for your services..."

"Without hesitation, it was the most beautiful trip I did in China!!"

"Dear Annabelle,
Everything went perfectly well once more. Liu was our driver the whole week, it was very agreeable to keep the same person..."

"Hi Annabelle,
We arrived home safe and sound after almost 3 pleasant weeks discovering a small part of China on the Silk Road..."

"Hi again Emilie,
I get back to you to give you my impressions about this trip to Sichuan. I really liked the old-fashioned charm of Sichuan..."

"After a very good flight from Beijing to Paris, our way back home was spoiled by the cancellation of our flight from Paris to Lyon. We were lucky to find two seats on a night bus..."

"After my trip to Xinjiang which you organized, I go back home absolutely delighted..."

"The efficiency and professionalism of the team in China in charge of the organization. The expertise and friendliness of the team on the spot... "
