Returned safely to Switzerland. Although I came to Nepal in the midst of the royal tragedy and had some minor problems at the border. The Tibet trip was an interesting experience and I enjoyed it very much. Mrs. Dikki ? and Mr. Drom Den, the driver took good care of me and were very cooperative. I wanted to raise two points for your future clients for Tibet:
1. In New Tinggri I was given a room with no water, the tiolet on the other end of the building, the window broken with the glass laying inside the room. It was very cold that night and snowed. Also electricity went out. - Such a room should not be offered to a foreign guest and I have noticed, that other guests had reasonable accomodation at the same hotel !!
2. When you travel allone your guide should be with you also at the hotel and the meals. I know it is a custom, that the guide brings you to the hotel and then leaves you. But I would recommend, that he stays until the room is settled and joins you with the meal, as eating alone in a chinese restaurant is very difficult, especially in remote areas of Tibet.
Otherwise I will recommend your organisation as everything went smoothly and without difficulties."

  Thank you so much for asking for my reactions to the tour; I think that is a very professional attitude. We had a great time. Here are some of the specifics:
The airlines flights were fine as booked (By the way, we were pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of the airlines, flights/ baggage handling at all stops). We were also surprised that the flight from Wuhan, after our cruise, was at an earlier time than originally--again that was a good surprise.
The tour in Chongqing was very good and had been described well. The Victoria cruises was very good, and had been described well. They did a good job of accommodating the vegetarians in our group. Wuhan was fine. Xian was fine.
On the good side, the tours in Lhasa were very good. So, I would say that the entire trip, and your part in it were excellent, with the one exception that the Tibet hotel could have been booked earlier, or if full, we should have been told of alternative arrangements.
Thank you both for your help throughout, I would gladly recommend you to others who are planning a trip.

  We have returned from our wonderful journey to China and wish to thank you and your staff for putting together a tremendous tour package. Paul Hurrell and I especially wish to thank our tour guide and driver for a superb job. Our tour guide was most helpful in pointing out significant facts and observations throughout the tour. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a pleasure to have her join us.

Your hotel selection, Crowne Plaza, in Beijing was the appropriate choice given its location and accessibility to nearby shopping.

Overall, your tour guide company helped make our short stay in Beijing an especially memorable one! If I ever return with my family to visit then I will be sure to contact you for similar service. Please feel free to use me as a positive reference for any future tour groups or individuals.

Thank you again for your gracious hospitality!!
