First of all your guides:

Shanghai: Amy and our driver could not have been more conscientious of the special care needed for our 82 year old father. Even though we were running late due to the slowness of the pace we needed to follow , Amy made sure we made the Acrobat show .We actually enjoyed the stop at the 'Silk factory' even though we had requested no shopping. Pacific Luck Hotel, an outstanding choice. A 4 star Hotel at 3 star prices! Very good personnel and rooms were great.

Xian: Emma was wonderful; her curiosity on language phrasing was refreshing and knowledge of English language great. She made sure the shipping arrangements were satisfactory for purchases at Terra Cotta Warrior museum. Emma's arrangement of food at the Cantonese restaurant was more than we could possibly eat and all was very delicious. The Tang Dynasty show was much better than the one we had seen in Xian last time. Our driver was very punctual and very skilled at getting into awkward places with the Van.

Our choice of Hotel was not good. We know we specified Grand New world Hotel, but we no longer recommend them .

Hong Kong: Our guide Rick was amazing! He spent more than the half day specified, including taking us to American Express Office. He left us 'girls' alone for over an hour at Stanley Market at an exceptional stall so we could have a good time bargaining and shopping. He had the best tips on restaurants and bars with great views of Hong Kong Harbor which we would not have found on our own. I would recommend his guide services to anyone traveling to Hong Kong including his tips on future Hotel Stays.

Beijing: (I am sorry that I was unable to complete my form but there was a great difficulty with the Hotel and their concierge that I misplaced my forms for review). Our guide could not have been better. Hua Rong heard that we enjoyed Kung Pao chicken, so arranged a lunch at the best Beijing Schezuan restaurant for us. Our food and restaurants were magnificent. He skillfully guided us through the people trying rather forcibly to sell us tourist items and was particularly respectful of the care received by our 82 year old father. His knowledge of history of Being is marvelous and his humor unusual. He interceded with the Hotel staff when a difficulty arose over our rooms being too hot. The driver was incredibly skilled at being able to maneuver through the Hutong so we could get as close as possible.

Thank you again for such an incredible adventure-one our family will not forget. We will be more than happy to recommend your tour services to anyone interested in a private tour of China!
