Hi,
Firstly may I say that the whole China trip and experience went very well. I was going to email and of course pass on my thanks. We mention the various things below.
Of the meals I feel the quality and standard was better in Xian. The meals in Beijing were fine, we just think the meals in Xian were just far better! In Xian we were able to choose the meals we liked whereas in Beijing Brian chose for us after talking to us about what we liked or didnt like. But lunch time was certainly very filling and as many other tourists have stated was just far too much food. In the UK at lunch especially after such good breakfasts at the hotel there is no way we would have eaten, or tried to eat so much. However we tried !
The "dumpling" dinner was far too much dumpling and after a few courses we were dreading another course of dumplings !! It is hard to pick a specific place out where we ate as we enjoyed all the places and all seemed fine. Though i think people would rather have more drinks if required than food. Some of the glasses of drink, were very small. And top ups were needed quite easily. Considering at times we were leaving quite a large amount of food, more drinks and less food would have been a help.
One place in Xian stands out where we had our own individual room, and person to serve us, unsure where but it was certainly unique and the food was of course very good.
Our guides Brian and Ruth were both very very good, in their attitude, language skills and knowledge of where we visited It was a pleasure being with them and we learnt lots from them.
The cars in both cities were clean and tidy and all drivers used were very good and very friendly.
I cannot comment more highly on the quality of the guides and drivers. Being a party of 3 it was nice to get to know them more so than if in a larger party. The ability to meet our needs in terms of times of pick ups, tours etc was greatly appreciated and we can honestly say nothing was too much trouble for either Brian or Ruth - they both made our trip a very memorable experience and we would recommend these 2 without any hesitation to anyone with ChinaTour360- when we get organised we will send a few photos in.
I would certainly recommend ChinaTour360 to anyone that may be interested in the future.
With best wishes
Gary, Diane and Adam Hayes
