Dear James, We have now finished our tour in Luoyang and on behalf of Mr. Mark Maxwell, Mrs. Susan Prasad and myself I would like to say thank you for the excellent service we received. Our tour guide, Michelle and driver Mr. Zhao were both very helpful and professional. We were delighted with all the arrangements and particularly with Michelle´s knowledge of history and places and her willingness to share that knowledge with us in a confident, friendly and expert manner. We were sorry to leave Luoyang as we had wonderful experiences everywhere we went. We are very impressed with the care and preservation of the history and stories of the city. Thank you again and if we ever get the chance to visit your home again we will again use your service. We will also happily recommend your company to friends and relatives. Best Regards, George Worsfold Canada

Hi Julia, I am sorry I had not written back in follow-up to your prior email. In summary we were very happy with the services you provided us throughout our stay in China. The guides in Luoyang were particularly good. The hotels were all very nice and the breakfasts were good as well. The hotel in Luoyang was exceptionally nice. We would highly recommend your tour agency to others in the future - you were easy to work with, flexible and attentive to our requests. Thank you for your hard work and good service. Best regards, David Craig Mellinger, United State

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 Germany

Dear Carol, I'm sorry for the delaying response to your service. And I must say you are a very good team and my trip to China is quite marvellous with your help. I told you I loved the Kungfu of China, and you recommended me several routes. Finally I chose this one in the hometown of Chinese Kungfu, and four days is enough for me to visit this place. All in all, the arrangements of the trip you planned for us had given us much value for the money. The hotels were quite comfortable and the meals were very good, except the dumpling dinner was a bit bland. The guides were knowledgeable, spoke very good English . About the cars and drivers, the driver was particularly helpful and attentive, and had an excellent knowledge about the city and routes to get to all the sites. I visited the Shaolin temple, where was a famous temple all around the world. I just saw the temple in movie, and this time the real situation. The arrangement of our route was reasonable, and there was little time wasted on the road. From this, I can see you have prepared carefully. Thanks for your help throughout the tour.

We had a wonderful time with Lisa and our driver Mr Fu. We were picked up from the airport in a van, which was a relief as we had a lot of luggage and were worried about it all fitting. From the airport we went to the Longmen Grotto. Lisa was very knowledgable and the carvings were amazing. We went to a local restaurant which we really enjoyed. We actually dropped past Lisa's apartment after the airport and she kindly showed us in. It was interesting to see how the local's live. Then back to our Hotel (Christians) which was incredible with fantastic service. Lisa assisted with the check in as English doesn't seem to be spoken too much in China. Next day was the Shaolin Temple. A big highlight for me as I have been involved in kung fu for many years. Lisa made sure we made it to the show on time and we spent a fascinating 3 hours here. Everywhere we went our driver Mr Fu was waiting to collect us at the closest and most convenient location. We were dropped at the airport and once again Lisa assisted with check in which was very much appreciated. I would not hesitate in recommending China travel Depot. In fact, I wouldn't want to travel in China without their assistance. I feel we got to see far more in the time we had by having Lisa as our guide. The local knowledge and convenience of being driven everywhere made the trip a breeze. Kind regards, Henri Telkes
