Phil the owner was my travel agent and I am a non Chinese speaking person. I wanted to take a tour in China. He showed one tour that was 99 dollars but only in Chinese. he said if i wanted the english tour it would be an additional 350 dollars. I paid this additional money ( plus the money on the trip that was owed ~ 150 american dollars). The entire trip was Cantonese. Phil did not sign me up for an english tour, neither did he sign me up with a tour company that offered English tours. When I confronted him about a refund he said "doesn't 450 (+150USD) seem like a good price". And would not refund me the "english" portioned I paid. on a side note the reason it was so cheap is bc the entire tour was a shopping tour. You were not able to see any of China besides where the Chinese government wanted you to see, and to buy from. Jade, Silk, Tea,Medicine all back to back in one day we would go to 5 different stores where they would sit us down and explain why we should buy jade(...) from their store. We did not get to see any true Chinese Culture, just something prefabricated for tourist to buy. My time in China was terrible I wouldn't recommend using Friendly Asia Travel for any bookings because he is a very un-trustworthy travel agent.

Friendly Asia Travel was recommended to me by a seasoned traveller to Asia, and I've used their services for my three trips to China. They've assisted me with flights, hotels, visas, travel medical...and I'm 100% satisfied. And, yes, the folks at Friendly Asia Travel are friendly; easy to deal with and accommodating.
