Dear Eva
Apologies that we have taken a few days to respond but we have been a bit busy. Firstly It was great to meet you and put a face to the person we had been dealing with. It added even more to the personal touch. Secondly our holiday in Guilin and Xian continued to the high standard set by the start in Hangzhou and Huangshan. Travel arrangements , guides and hotels were all excellent. Thank you for all your organisation. Highlights would have to be Yellow Mountain Longshan Terracotta Army Chinese people Impossible to pick between them In huangshan Jessica was great guide on the yellow mountain and in Huangshan.Ling Ling amused and entertained us with her tales in hangzhou and Sally was very informative and thoughtful in Xian. Mark probably edged it - but we did spend more time with him. He was good in every respect -knowledgable ,attentive,flexible -particularly ensuring we were happy with arrangements. Yes. There was a difference but that was clear from the booking i.e. the hotels at Huangshan and San Jiang were not quite as good as in Hangzhou and Xian for example -but throughout we thought the standard high. Meals were also good. breakfast at Hangzhou and san Jiang probably the only disappointment. Lunches were good everywhere and all enjoyed. We particularly enjoyed the choice of meals arrangement with mark and sally. Longshan and San jaing was worth the overnight trip and better than doing longshan in a day. Similarly we were pleased with the overnight stay in Beihei.Balance is important . there is much to see in China and there is a temptation to cram too much in. We feel we generally had long enough in all the places in that we saw the key sites but always left feeling we could have seen a bit more -which is good! Thanks for your help and advice in setting it up. we enjoyed the cycling trips and would recommend them .We did 3 - the excellent trip with Mark in Yangzhou . We also cycled around the lake in hangzhou on the public bikes and around the walls in Xian. We very much enjoyed the performance on the water in Yangzhou of the show by the famous chinese director. very impressive and one no one should miss!
Thanks again and happy mid autumn festival
Regards
Roy
