NinHao Emma,
I am so sorry for the delay in replying, but it has been straight back to work and a busy schedule! Please feel free to use the comments below and attached photos in any way you seem fit.
Sue (my wife) and enjoyed our trip very much. It was a pleasure for me to show her China so she could understand my liking for the country. I also enjoyed revisiting many familiar places ( it's amazing how you see things from a different perspective second time around) and visiting many new ones.
Our guides in each city were great. Thanks to Carole & Elaine (Shanghai), Nancy (Beijing), Wu Xiansheng (Xi'an), Scarlett (Guilin/Yangshuo), for a job well done. You are all knowlegable, friendly, reliable, punctual, kind, and you even helped my with my Hanyu practice! The water was appreciated too. Thanks too for the aid and assistance of the various drivers. Xiexie nin!
The food was good (isn't it always?) and all the hotels we stayed in were great.
I will be back in China next year to work again and will certainly use you excellent company in the future when I travel on holidays. I recommend ChinaTour360 to everybody who has the wish and desire to see the beautiful and unique country of China.
As a little aside:
As Australians we were a bit disappointed to be placed in a hotel (a good one mind! - Hotel Bravo, Guilin) that had adopted the American tradition (habit) of tipping. That tips are expected to be given, is culturally un-Australian. Many Australian people would refuse to tip unless some person had performed 'above & beyond' what would be their normal job requirements. It is a shame to see that habit permeating Chinese culture!
Thank you again for a great trip.
