Dear Ms. Cynthia Xiao and Ms. Irene Zhou:
First, it was my pleasure to meet you, Cynthia in Xian. We enjoyed your city very much. We learned many things in China and had a very good time. Thank you for all of your efforts.
We preferred meals that were more "Chinese" and less "meals for tourists". We actually enjoyed the meal on the riverboat in Guilin. We had several good meals, but they were at restaurants suggested by our guides. The best meal arranged for us were, for me I think, the ones in Xian. I'm sorry, but I cannot remember the restaurants anymore.
All of the guides we had could speak English well enough. Linda in Kaifeng had some trouble, but Jaime from Luoyang was able to help her. Jaime speaks excellent English and acted as our interpreter.
All of our guides had good knowledge of the places we visited and were able to convey the information to us in English.
All of the drivers were very nice and the cars were clean. The drivers were so patient in all of the traffic!
Two of our guides stood out, in my opinion. First, Jessica in Guilin was very sweet and accommodating.She came with us on the boat ride on the Li river and every time we came outside to take pictures, she came out to see if we had any questions. She pointed out the particularly scenic views. After a very long day she spent extra time with us to show us her favorite restaurants in Guilin and to help us to choose items from the menu. She was a delight.
Probably our best guide (in my opinion), was Jaime in Luoyang. She was very professional and competent. She even organized our wake-up calls at the hotel! Her English was the best of any of the guides, and she was very poised and patient. She spent 2 very long days with us, including many visits and many detailed explanations in English and she did not stop smiling. She assisted us in many ways, even those not related to travel, such as fixing my umbrella and pouring water for us at the restaurant. These little things showed me of her great willingness to be of service. She is an excellent resource for your travel company. I think she deserves a big bonus.
I will be glad to follow up on any items if you need more information. Overall, I think we all enjoyed our first trip to China. Thank you for organizing this "introduction" to your country.
