Hi Flora and Eileen,

We just returned home from our China trip, it was a long time so it was good to be back home. You took us off guard at the restaurant and we didn t have too much of a chance to talk. I would like to thank you very much for all the help that you gave me for this trip. All at Travel China Guide are very good and I would recommend it to everyone.

The meals were very well arranged. We were always in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, it was pleasant. The one meal that stood out the most was the Dumpling Banquet. The setting, food, and service with a smile and respect. Besides it was very good. For me quality of food goes along with the presentation and the service. For example the Beijing Duck Dinner was a fine place to eat, clean and the food very well presented. But the service was not there. We were left alone, nobody was around to help if we needed anything. Maybe they were too busy that night but this is the impression that the whole group got. Otherwise it was a good choice of a place to eat.

Both of our guides were very good. Their knowledge and attention to details was amazing. They each had their own style and the group got along well. They were always on time and did not mind going out of their way to help us. We were given fresh water daily. They gave us good advise about the locals but we felt that it was up to us, there was no pushing or forcing. The daily plan or agenda was always given to us before each day and we were always consulted if there was a change to be made.

Their English knowledge was very good. We had no problem to understand and communicate with both of them. We even learning some basic Chinese words and counting. We enjoyed it. Their knowledge about places was very accurate. We had a point by point explanation of the provincial history museum like we never had. Jolie really had our attention. We will remember some of these explanations for a lifetime.

Regarding the driver, we were very fortunate to have such caring and dedicated people with us. Going to a foreign country I think that it is important to feel safe in the transportation mode. If you take a taxi, well, this is a short ride and you may not feel too safe by the way he drive but with someone driving for a week you need to feel secure. Both drivers were very good. They also got along good with the guides, very good relationship or partnership. While visiting I would at times catch the driver washing our windows, good attitude. We felt that the bus was taken care of. Our personal belongs were left in the bus often while visiting and again we all felt safe to do so.

Finally, I don't know why it happened that way but we crossed the gate at the Beijing airport like too fast and Mrs Easy could not come in. I really did not say bye bye the proper way. It would be very important for me if you could relay to her that it wasn't intentional. So I'm sending her a big thank you with a big hug.

I would like you to understand that we as a group are completely satisfied of the services that we had a privilege to receive. Mrs Jolie is very professional and she has the experience, she has a steady pace. She knows what she is doing. Keep her on board, you have a good guide. Mrs Easy has a different style, way of operating but very easy to get along with. Her pace is different and we got to appreciate her very much. We felt that the customer came first, she did help us very much and again we were always free. She carries well her name.

I will contact you in about 2 years, because I'm planning a trip to Shanghai, shaolin (which I could not do this trip) and my dreaming Tibet. You will for sure make the arrangement for us. I am anxious to be part of your tour again. If you want me to fill out a testimonial please feel free to send me the form or questionaire.

Again thank you very much for a wonderful China trip!
Guy
