Dear Tom,

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. We had several more days of touring around China, and I only just got back to the United States a day or two ago.

Our guide is excellent! What can we say about him? He was an absolute gentleman the whole time. He may have told you already that we had two people sick during the four days and two of us had quite serious falls. He was so caring and efficient at getting help for us. His English was excellent. His knowledge of the places we visited and the history surrounding them was excellent. He answered all of our questions and displayed an excellent sense of humor (which is very important to Australians). I can only go on and on about how excellent he is.

The meals were all quite good. I enjoyed being able to order from the menu more than I enjoyed having the dishes pre-selected for us, though the pre-selected food was quite good. The cars were clean, and the drivers were polite.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and the guides/drivers made our vacation so easy!

Thanks again for all your help!

Best Regards,
Ruud Kleinpaste
