Hello,

We are back to our very busy lives of demanding jobs and raising two young boys, so I'll have to keep this short!

In general, we liked all of the meals that were prearranged. Particularly the ones with a set menu, as I think they have figured out what "Westerners" like to eat. At the times when we needed to order ourselves, it would have been helpful if the guides had been able to provide us some good suggestions, as we didn't always know what we should try. But it was nice that we could try several things, so even if we didn't like one of them, we had plenty to eat.

The drivers were all very professional and accommodating.

All of the guides were very nice. Our guide in Guilin, Shirley, was OUTSTANDING! She is very personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and we really enjoyed our time with her and exploring Guilin and Yangshou. That was our favorite part of the trip. We wish we could have spent more time there. You are very fortunate to have someone of her talent and expertise working with your company! We have several friends who would like to visit China. I will definitely tell them to contact Travel China Guide, and will make sure they ask for Shirley to be their guide in Guilin. Our guide in Shanghai seemed a bit less experienced. Her English is excellent, and she is very nice and tried very hard to be helpful. We got very spoiled with Shirley, who has many more years of experience and was so exceptional!

Thank you for arranging our special and memorable vacation. When our boys are a bit older, we will plan to visit again!


Best regards,

Clarissa
