Dear Carol,

My husband and I enjoyed our tour of China very much. We were very satisfied with the arrangements made for us by China Travel Depot and we would certainly recommend your agency to other travelers.

The trip was excellent. I've wanted to go to the Great Wall for most of my life and to finally be able to stand on the Great Wall was a breath taking experience for me. The wall was not crowded (I went on a Monday morning) and most of the visitors were foreign tourists like me. After seeing some of the pictures from Badaling and seeing how crowded it is I'm really glad I chose to go to Mutianyu instead. We hiked from the base of the hill to the Great Wall but I recommend taking the cable car up and saving your energy for hiking the Wall itself.

Our tour guide in Beijing was excellent. She was intelligent, very competent and had a good sense of humor. She seemed to really like her job. She never hurried us along and she let us set the pace. She shared her information about Beijing in an interesting way...she was never boring. She was helpful in many ways such as finding bank machines or particular places for shopping. She also seemed genuinely interested in us as people, not just customers. She was our best guide during our trip. Our accommodation in Beijing was excellent and the meals were very good. The breakfasts in the hotel were very good with lots of variety. For our other meals our guide made sure that we had good variety and good service.

All of our drivers were fantastic. They were good at their job. The vehicles were clean and well maintained.

We want to thank you for planning a great itinerary. The entertainment in each city really added to the enjoyment. We will recommend China Travel Depot to our friends and will certainly use your agency when we return to China. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Emily Jones,
