Dear James,

First and foremost, let me say “Thank-you” to all the personnel working for “China Travel Depot” especially the tour guides in city who made our trip that much enjoyable and hassle-free.

Everything went well without a hitch. A job well done!! We were treated like royalties—greeted at the airports, drove us to wine and dine, then put us up in luxury hotels.

Both guides were excellent, especially the one in Beijing, who had excellent communication skills and experience. We were thrilled with him in every respect and he always went out of his way to be helpful to us. Congratulations for having such a really top guide serving the customers of CTD! We are truly grateful to you and to him!

Both drivers were very good. Although the traffic is challenging, both managed to drive while keeping both my wife and I comfortable. The driver in Beijing was exceptional. Very courteous - he always opened door or had umbrella available when it rained.

In Beijing we enjoyed the duck dinner and the food in the restaurant after visiting Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. The Chinese restaurant in the Crown Plaza and its breakfast were excellent. The hotels were always first rate and totally enjoyable. Wonderful selections.

Overall. We are experienced travellers having undertaken 15 cruises and numerous land tours (US, Canada, Mexico, France, Portugal, Spain etc;). The tour provided by China Travel Depot was exceptional value. We would strongly recommend the Company to anyone interested in touring China.

Best Regards,
