Dear Molly,
Sorry it took a little longer to send this e-mail to you than I would I liked. Id like to say a heartfelt thank you for making wonderful arrangements for us. We also appreciate your patience and helpfulness while arranging our itinerary. We arrived in Beijing and were taken care of the moment we got off the plane. You were so wonderful in making sure that all my worries and concerns and questions were all answered before we even left for China.

Our trip to Beijing, Lhasa, Xian, Guilin and Yangshuo was so memorable. The guides in each city were so welcoming and so informative and were a great help to us. China is such a beautiful country with so much history; my only disappointment is that we were not able to stay longer! Each city has its own character and history and we have vivid memories of it all. The Forbidden City, Potala Palace, Xian City Wall and Terra Cotta Warriors, the cruise down the Li River, the scent of osmanthus and riding a tuk tuk in Yangshuo are only a few of our many memories. The Tang Dynasty dinner and show was so beautiful! While we were in Xian, Grace took us to eat dumplings and hot pot, what a treat! Lisa (Beijing), Phurbu (Lhasa), Grace (Xian) and Holly (Guilin) took great care of us and went out of their way to suggest activities for us when we had free time. Mr. Lee? And all the other drivers were so good to us as well. Im so thankful that we were able to meet such wonderful people.

Tom , Im very glad that we were able to meet you in Xian even if it was for a short time. It really was a treat to meet the person who put our entire package together. The whole package that you booked for us was wonderful and we enjoyed every part of our trip. We are so impressed by your thoroughness and we would not hesitate to call on your again or recommend your services to anyone. I noticed that you have our comments on your website, but please feel free to add this to them, since we only have good things to say about our trip.

I look forward to meeting you again.

Sincerely,
Susan & David Clements,

  We had a wonderful time in China, and will be pleased to recommend your travel service to others! Everything went very smoothly on our trip, and we enjoyed all parts of it. It was especially nice being there when Beijing was chosen as the site of the Olympics!

As comments on our trip, our favorite guide was Linda, who was with us in Xian. She is excellent, in that she is very friendly and funny, as well as knowledgeable. Peter, who was with us in Guilin, was nice and knowledgeable, but really needs to improve his English somewhat as well as to try and relax and smile and interact with his guests more personably (like Linda does).

It would be helpful, for future guests, that you make suggestions prior to travel regarding tipping of the guides and the drivers. Our tour books in the United States all state that tipping is really not done in China, but we quickly learned that is not true. It would have made things easier for us if you had indicated before our trip about a range of tips for those helping us in China, so we would have known what is expected.

If you are interested in having more American tourists go to China through your agency, it would probably be helpful for you to have an American travel agent or agency representing you. That way, more people would learn about your agency.

Thank you again for putting together such an excellent trip for us! Im sure we will be back to China again in the future!

  We arrived day before yesterday, late night. The trip was really very nice, we are already missing everything, every place, it was very well organized. We will always remember the Bezeklik Caves, Mogao Caves, the Terracotta Warriors, the Forbidden City and Great Wall at Beijing etc and the Monasteries of Tibet. We loved to meet you both in the Theatre, and well send the scanned pages with the poem on the Koq She as soon as possible. Please convey our best wishes to your Maneger, the Dinner at Lhasa Hotel was really a good suggestion. Thank you for everything, Best wishes.
