First I must apologize for not getting back to you earlier. The internet connections on the ship were expensive and not very reliable. We have just arrived home from our trip around the Pacific Ocean and my husband, Don and I agree, that our five days in China were our favorite part of our 62-day trip. Your services were outstanding, and our guides in both Bejing and Xian were excellent. Both drivers were also very good, especially Mrs. Gu in Bejing. She was always laughing and fun and one of the best drivers I have ever been in a car with.
Our tour of the Bejing area including the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs and Sacred Way was overwhelming and the evening entertainment was perfect - we went to the Peking Opera and totally enjoyed the performance. One of our favorite parts of the tour was the Hutong tour by Pedi-cab. Our guide in Bejing was extremely accomodating and helped with a couple of personal requests we had, like going to a foriegn language book store to purchase Chinese books in English as gifts. The Jade factory stop was also a wonderful place to purchase gifts to bring home.
We crammed so much into our one day in Xian! The city wall, and an afternoon at the Terra Cotta Warriors museum and archaelogical site - plus the Tang Dynasty show and dumpling dinner in the eveing - We were very tired at the end of the day, but very happy!
Both hotels that you chose for us were excellent, especially the Prime Hotel in Bejing, and the breakfast buffets at both hotels were outstanding. Every meal we had was different and we enjoyed them all, but special kudos for the Dumpling Dinner in Xian. Wow! We were amazed at how good it was. But we also were really pleased with the Peking Duck dinner in Bejing.
The visit to the Summer Palace was wonderful as was the Temple of Heaven. We cannot find one fault with any of our stay in China and we were sorry that it had to be so short! We felt that your service was outstanding and your prices very reasonable for all we received. We have already given the name of your website ChinaTour360 to several people we were traveling with on the ms Amsterdam, and you certainly may use any of our remarks on your web site.
In the near future, after my husband consolidates his pictures, we will send you some pictures from our tour in China. Thank you again for all your courtesies and assistance.
Regards,
