Tours with Yangtze Cruise

Dear HRC ChinaTourGuide,
Thank you for your help with the Yangtze cruise, it was wonderful & so spectacular. The crew on the ship were friendly and made us welcome, we were the only 2 English speaking on the cruise, but this was not a problem at all. The Chinese people were very kind and friendly
