Dear Carol, The trip to China was amazing and everything was well organized. There were two minor hick-ups, but nothing major. On our last internal flight we actually had another flight than the one you advised us on (but the guide did now, so no problems there) and when checking in at the Garden Hotel in Shanghai they could not find us in their reservation system. It turned out that they made a mistake after they took a few minutes to sort that out. As I said those were minor hick-ups and did not bother us at all. Other than that, everything went very smoothly and the organization was perfect. Thank you very much. By the way, I did not mention that specifically - the guides were all very, very good. They were all like 110% and the one in Lhasa (sorry, forgot her name) was like 115%. Rest assured that should we ever visit China again we will contact you and I will also recommend China Travel Depot to any friends who might plan a future trip to China. Kind regards, Eric Ireland

Dear Luis, I have faxed "Our Feedback" form to China Travel Depot but just wanted to email you personally and thank you for organizing our tour for us. Dealing with a travel agent within the country you are visiting is certainly the way to go and all the sights we visited and the hotels we stayed in were excellent. And everything ran like clockwork!, our guide always at the appropriate airport to greet us and we were very impressed with the friendliness of all the guides and drivers. The drivers in shanghai I must mention because they seem to drive very well in the chaotic traffic. I guess they are very used to these conditions and even though there were times when we were all a bit nervous, we had the utmost confidence in them. We all had a wonderful holiday in your country. We loved so many aspects of China, the history and ancient sites were amazing. In Lhasa, we had the chance to hike the Pilgrimage Path from Ganden to Samye Monastery and visit the local family. Terrific experiences!! Once again, we'd like to really thank you for an excellent tour. We will most certainly recommend your tour company to any of our friends and family that plan a vacation in China. Thank you, GAYE MICHELL From Australia

Dear James, Thank you for your e-mail and the photo group. I am still enjoying my memories from the wonderful trip that your company put together. I was very impressed with the professionalism of tour guides and also on how excellently the tour was put together. That is, the first part of it had a fast pace which later was balanced with a slower pace in Xian. This gave a great balance. Our trip to China was enhanced by the help from your group. Your job in making all of the arrangements for flights, hotels, tour guides, and tickets for venues was handled very well. You and your colleagues helped us eliminate hours of research and the hassle of making all of the arrangements for our trip. Having a guide meet us at airports, train stations, and each place we visited saved us hours of time, allowing us to enjoy the trip. This was particularly important with our inadequate Chinese language skills and our limited time. We very quickly came to like our guides who became travel friends. Most valuable was the flexibility of tailoring the trips to be exactly what and when we wanted them. Accommodating our schedule was extremely helpful, making the trip exactly the way we wanted it, at a very reasonable price. I would strongly recommend using China Travel Depot to my friends and family, and I will certainly use this group for future travels in China. James, thanks again for helping with all of the arrangements! Best Regards, Greta Stevenson, England

Dear Carol, We will like to thank you for planning so well our vacation in China. We had a wonderful time in your country and we had learned so many things about your culture. In shanghai, we saw a lot in the city. We visited the high buildings, water villages, the Shanghai museum, a great acrobatic show in the theater and went shopping in very nice places. The guide was always there for us but at the same moment he gave us also our free time. In Tibet, we visited the Potala Palace, winter palace of the Dalai Lama, symbolizes Tibetan Buddhism.The complex, comprising the White and the Red Palaces with their ancillary buildings, is built on the Red Mountain in the center of the Lhasa valley. The beauty and originality of the architecture, the ornamentation and harmonious integration in a striking landscape, add to its historic and religious interest. In the Jokhang Monastery, we saw sphinx and other weird and sacred sculptures, and we also had the chance to observe rare and unique wildlife existing only in the harsh and challenging environment of Tibet , but after my visit, I felt it’s even more mysterious, that’s my feeling. We had an excellent trip without any stress and very comfortable. We will highly recommend your company to our friends. Greetings! Donovan Briley UK
