    Der Reiseleiter und der Fahrer waren sehr gut und das Hotel war auch sehr schön. Meine ursprüngliche Absicht bei der Buchung dieser Reiseroute bestand jedoch darin, einen Reiseleiter zu haben, der Deutsch oder Chinesisch sprechen konnte, aber die Veranstalter ignorierten meine Wünsche, obwohl sie diese beiden Sprachen in den von Ihnen gegebenen Anweisungen angegeben hatten.
