Dear James,

I am pleased to give you feedback on the tour which we were very happy with, on behalf of my friend rather than just myself. Many thanks for the photograph.

Our guide was a spunky, smart guy with whom we had a lot of laughs. For a young guy to guide two older ladies with such good humor was a real pleasure. His English was excellent and he was a font of information about China in general as well as of Qingdao more specifically. We especially appreciated his suggestions for places to eat; the most consistently good food we got was in Qingdao under his guidance!

The meals were very enjoyable, in particular the Peking Duck banquet was my favorite. As a general comment Western Chinese restaurants serve meals with most, if not all the bones removed, so I think some advice to the tour groups about the number of dishes that will contain bones may be helpful.

The drivers were all very pleasant, especially the one in Qingdao. Their cars were very clean. The hotel was first rate and totally enjoyable. A wonderful selection! Forgot to mention at the airport after the driver and tour guide unload the luggage I given to both of them thank you notes with tip inside.

If we plan another trip to China we will not hesitate to use your company again.

Best Regards,
