MJ planned an excellent leisure trip for me to Japan and China in July-‐August 2014. The trip was 2 weeks and included all hotels, both long haul and short hall flights, trains, local transporta*on, dinner reserva*ons each night, and full day guides in each city. Ci*es visited included Tokyo, Kyoto, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. The trip was planned and executed flawlessly. There was not one detail, reserva*on, travel arrangement that was miscommunicated or out of order. For this to occur on a two week, complex, interna*onal i*nerary speaks volumes to the quality, reliability, and thoroughness of Marc and Mandarin Journeys. The guides in each city superb and highly knowledgeable re. the local sights, culture, languages, and transporta*on. Stayed in a older courtyard house/hotel in Beijing (Hans Royal Garden) and 300 year old Ryokan in Kyoto. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed. MJ even arranged vintage motorcycles with side cars as the transporta*on from central Beijing to a non touristy, less travelled part of the Great Wall. I highly recommend Mandarin Journeys for anyone that wants a non touristy, comprehensive trip to the Far East Mr Steve Randich – CIO Finra, former CIO Ci*group
Our family recently used Mandarin Journeys for a 3-‐week/5 des*na*ons trip to China and Thailand, and we highly recommend them. They were a\en*ve and responsive during the planning process, which for us involved mul*ple changes along the way, and they helped us manage everything seamlessly. They designed a premium, customized program with ac*vi*es suited to us and expert guides who completely enhanced the experience. And they were in touch throughout to ensure things went according to plan. They took the *me to understand what we were looking for and delivered beyond our expecta*ons. I'm sure we will be "repeat" customers. Mrs Mary Gerzema & John Gerzema – VP Global Media at The Estee Lauder Companies & NYT Bestselling Author
