Meals: The food was very good but it was too much. If I was to use your service again, I would probably only want 2 meals a day or all 3 if they were lighter. The Peking duck was not as good as expected since the Chinese see the skin as the best part and we see the meat as the best part (cultural difference & what we grew up with). All of the other meals were excellent.
Guides: All of the guides were very good. They all tried to accommodate any specific things we wanted to do and were careful not to push us into any specific shopping. They all had excellent knowledge of their cities. The one with the best English was in Shanghai (Young) but all had good English skills. Young, the Shanhai guide, was very good at making certain that we were well taken care of at every stop. In Beijing, Brian was very good at providing his insights into life in China and even bringing some classical music CD's to play (in talking to us, he found that we likes that music) while driving to the Great Wall. In Xian, Tracy was excellent at explaining the history. In Guilin, Tony was excellent at making us feel welcome by small courtesies throughout our visit.
Cars: all of the cars were clean and comfortable. All of the drivers were courteous and kind.
The visits to where local people actually lived in Xian and the visit to the farm house in Guilin were added bonuses.
I would prefer that you not publish my e-mail address. Let me know if you have any other questions.
