Hi Jean,


To begin with, my wife and I enjoyed our trip to China and Hong Kong. I am glad to feedback the tour in a little different order then you asked.


Regarding the guides.  They all did a nice job.  The two best (doing a great job) was Thunker in Beijing and Mary in Hong Kong.  I add Mary even though she was only with us for 1/2 day since she was really teriffic.  Very talkative with excellent information about the history, growth , shopping and landmarks of Hong Kong.  Even on the ride to the airport as we were leaving she kept up her 'guide talk' to make the ride interesting.


One comment regarding the guides is  that  each guide handed us the evaluation and then we gave them back to the guide.  I suggest if you want a real true evaluation, you include a self addressed/stamped envelope so we can complete them and mail them to you directly confidentially.  It is difficult to be 'honest' when you give it back to the guide and he can look at it in front of you. 


After a trip of this type, all sights kind of blurr together.  However, the most memorable were the terra cotta soldiers in Xian.


Some lunches were below expectations and the one I enjoyed was the one in Xian (should be Dawancheng) on the way back from the terra cotta soldiers.  This restaurant was clean, the atmosphere nice, service good and food tasty hot with good variety.


As far as I was concerned, the 'wow' factor to me was that in every city, the guides were at the airports when we landed and easy to locate.  They were always on time to pick us up and were flexible to our schedule.  And, did a good job getting us into the airports as we were leaving including taking us right to the security gate before we left.  Since we were traveling alone and not with a group, that was one of my biggest concerns and you definitely came through 100%.


 Please leave me on your email list for future information.  I would recommend your company to others but I will tell them that they need to have you address the recommendations I made above.  


Thank you for all your help with our plans.  You were a pleasure to work with on this trip.
