Thanks for your note. We had a great time and really enjoyed our first trip to China. I'm looking forward to doing it again, perhaps next time visiting Tibet and the Silk Road.

It's hard to say which was the "best" guide since three of the four were so marvelous. Each of the three had personal characteristics that made them especially informative and charming, each in their own way. Andy in Beijing was so enthusiastic and helpful that it couldn't have been better. He climbed the Great Wall with us and shared his exciting about Chinese history. And Judy in Guilin was so pleasant and went out of her way to accommodate us that we couldn't have been happier. She made the boat trip down the Li River and the bike ride really special. Carol was a wealth of knowledge about Xian, the early dynasties and the Terracotta warriors. Wonderful guides!

Thank you for a lovely trip. The hotel were first class, food was great, and guides were outstanding.

Best Regards,

Michael Hutchison
