"We write (Robert and Kathleen Dostal) to let you know that we had a very good trip to China. As you know, you organized a tour for us from July 1 to July 14--Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, Guilin, Yangshuo, Xian. We had one major difficulty caused by the typhoon in Shanghai. You were very good in rearranging our itinerary so that we changed the order to Nanjing, Wuxi, Suzhou, and then Shanghai. We appreciated very much your responding to the weather problem. All of our guides were very good. "Rose" in Beijing was excellent. She was good about the important cultural sites in Beijing and always very helpful. We appreciated the evening dinner invitation from our guide Li Wen- Bin in Suzhou.He also took us to performances in a garden in the evening in Suzhou. In Xian Yang Juan Mei (Linda) suggested a foot massage at the end of a long hot day. It was a wonderful experience and not on the schedule. We know that you had to scramble to find guides for us-- Su in Nanjing, Bill in Wuxi, Mr. Li in Suzhou, and Josh in Shanghai were all great. Holly in Guilin was very nice. The food was good with one exception. The lunch in Suzhou, near the silk factory was a very poor buffet of "Western" food. Quite unsatisfactory. The hotels were good ("B" list) and breakfasts were good as well.The free day in Yangshuo was a very good idea. We enjoyed ourselves, taking a motorcyle sidecar ride out into the countryside. A nice relaxing day. Things went very well. China was a terrific experience. We stayed another two weeks in China visiting and traveling with our son in Gansu province. We would recommend your service to others. Thank you for your assistance."
