Hi Carol,

We had a great time in China. Thank you for all the arrangements. You did a great job!!

We loved China and hope to go back in the future; the cities we liked the most were Shanghai and Guilin.
About the hotels, the one we liked the most was the one in Shanghai (Greenland) the room was big and was close to the Bund, breakfast was good too. The one in Xian looked great from the outside, but the room was smelly. Also the bathroom looked really old; but they had a great view from the top where the breakfast was served.

In regards of the tour guides they were all very friendly and certainly know their jobs. We liked jack from Beijing a lot. He is very funny and enthusiastic.

One thing that I suggest you to do is the pick up/drop off from/to the airports. I don't see the need of a guide. I think only the driver is enough (they don't need to be bilingual either). At least in our case we can do the checking in at the airport by ourselves.

Thanks, again Jenny for all!! I'll send you a couple of pics.
