Dear Julia,
We first approached your travel company based on the very high praise given by a couple from California who had traveled with China Travel Depot (we met them on a cruise). They were correct in everything they told us.
The most interesting experience was in the Kongfu show in Shaolin Temple. Our guide showed an exceptional flexibility in knowledge ranging from the practiced historical and cultural explanations of sights and places to teaching me how to pronounce words in Mandarin and explaining mythological and spiritual contexts of various statues, symbols and signs. More importantly she knew when not to tell too much as it could have been easy to overwhelm us with information that then would have just become too much to remember anyway. A right balance I would say.
The food was delicious. We can not pinpoint the best meal because we liked them all. We always got so much food we could never finish it all. The car was very clean and the driver was very competent and demonstrated great skill.
Also I would like to acknowledge to great work done behind the scenes by you. Without your expert knowledge and organizational skills our travels could not have progressed as effortlessly as it did. A great job all - round. One which China Travel Depot should be very proud of!
Best Regards,
Butement
