Hello Joan,

Thanks for asking back. We are pleased to give you my answers to your following questions.

Meals:
All the meals served were of a very high standard but I particulaly enjoyed the restaruant I ate lunch in on the Sunday in Beijing, the food was fantastic and the Peking duck restaurant was also gorgeous, I would recommend anyone on a visit to Beijing eats there!

Guides:
All the guides took a real interest in the places they were showing me and appeared very proud of their city and heritage.

All the guides spoke very good English, understanding them was never a problem.

Again all the guides had a very in depth knowledge of their cities and showed me round with enthusiasm.

Drivers and Cars:
All my drivers were fantastic, always on time and the cars were always clean and tidy.

Overall:
All the guides made an effort to ensure that my holiday was not only enjoyable but personal to me, taking into account the things I wanted to do and see rather than sticking to a rigid routine. The personal touch was very much appreciated.

My guide in Beijing very kindly brought me a moon pie to try one morning after I had mentioned the day previous I'd never seen or heard of them before, I thought it was very kind of her to have picked up on that and remembered to bring one for me.

My guide in Tibet was fantastic at organising the days sight seeing in such a way that I'd get to see and make the most of the places and things I was most interested in, again I was very impressed with the way he picked up on the things I had talked about wanting to see that weren't a part of the tour and managed to fit them in during my stay. Lhasa was a truly memorable and beautiful place.

My guide in Xian was incredibly knowledgeable of her city and she had such a great enthusiasm for the tour and her home city, it was a pleasure being shown round by her.

Though I only really got to spend one full day with my guide in Shanghai, she was also very knowledgeable and accommodating of the things I wanted to see and do.

Thank you again for a truly amazing trip, all my friends are very jealous and I've certainly recommended they take this trip if they have the opportunity.

Kind regards,

Vikki Halliday
