Hi, Judy/Brenda (TravelChinaGuide)!

Thank you very much! I had a wonderful China trip thanks to you guys!

I love culture so I would enjoy more time in the Shanghai Museum; in Beijing's Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace; and in Xian's Terracota Warriors and Horses Museum. I think also that some extra time for shopping souvenirs: I recommend time in the Muslim Market in Xian (The prices were good) and more time in the Yu Garden in Shanghai (we had 30 minutes) or the market under the subway station in Shanghai (close to the Science and Technology Museum). All other markets were expensive... Don''t recommend "fabrics" either since it is hard to negotiate and things are expensive. Maybe you can arrange an optional "evening" tour to the markets after all cultural things for the day are seen. People not interested in shopping can just stay in the hotel. I had that in other tours (To Egypt) and it worked very well. I would spend less time in the Three Gorges Dam Project place and in the Ming Tombs.

I would NOT expend any time in the "Visit to a community" (Shanghai) and instead put in the itinerary and include in the price of the tour either the visit to the TV Tower and/or river boat. We all wanted to skip the "community visit" and go instead to the TV Tower but two passangers did not have extra money to spend since was the end of the tour so we ended going to the "community visit"

I liked the restaurants visited in Xian and Shanghai. I liked the Dumplings Dinner but I know some people were not trilled. I also wanted "Diet Coke" or "healthy coke" since I have sugar problems and it was not very easy to find :(

In a word, I had a great China vacation thanks to the very well organized tour from TravelChinaGuide.com management, the knowledgeable tour guides, the nice drivers and the nice travel mates that I met during the tour (and that now are my friends!). I think TravelChinaGuide.com provides great value for the price, and are always prompt to respond to any of your questions and inquiries. I highly recommend Travel China Guide to anyone thinking about visiting China for vacation."

[Extra suggestion] Some people were thinking about TravelChinaGuide.com to ask the traveling people on a tour if they were willing to share their e-mail address with the other members on the tour. Who ever wanted to share his/her e-mail address will receive from you guys the list of not only the names and/or nationalities but also of the e-mail addresses of the others. :)
