Thanks and Regards,

Dear Whitney,
A week passed fromour return from the wonderful Japan trip and finally I foundtime towrite to you.
First: the trip wasa success especially due to the perfect way you have organized it. Everything(almost) went smooth and
according to theplan. We came back very much impressed by this country: the way of life, theorder, the cleanliness, the attitude
to religion and tolife etc, etc.
Some details:
Organisation:mostly perfect. The only shortcoming was about the last day trip to Kansay,because it was not any detail in theItinerary and especially because the Kyoto guide(who, anyway was not so bright) told us that they know nothing about and Ihave to contact "urgent" Novalandso we panicked and I send you those mails.
Guides: the Tokyo guideMrs Takahashi was wonderful, very well prepared, very sympathetic, helpful,verygood explanations,
it was a pleasure!!
the Kyoto guide,Mr Hiraki, no comments.
Hotels: very good,especially Ana crown plaza in Kyoto.
So, thank you verymuch, we hopefully will be in touch for our next trip to your area.

The tour in Chan May was excellent.The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.The driver of the the van was a good driver and very courteous.
As far as Beijing,there will be 3 of us as of now.Marvin Silverman will join Lori and me.The ship arrives at 6:15 in the morning,but I am not sure of the exact time we can travel to Beijing.We arrive on Sunday April 3rd.We will need a transfer back to the ship on Tuesday April 5th.The ship sails at 14:00 so we must be back by 13:30.So a pickup from the hotel around 9:30 should suffice.As soon as I have more details as to time and hotel I will email you.
The only minor complaint on our tour was that the vehicle was old and the interior was not in the best condition .However it rode fine.
Cheers,
Ed

Hi Whitney,
My wife andI are back home in the USA after a wonderful trip to the Philippines andJapan. It was really a memorable and exciting Japan visit, thanks toyou..
Whitney, I amunable to edit the review you are asking but I scanned it and sending it as anattachment . I will send pictures later when I have them organized.
Masaki was terrific! very knowledgeable and nice. He's a "5" on everything!
Thank you so much for arranging the tour for us.Because of bad weather, some places/roads were closed, but our guide Mr. Saitohalways has a back up plan to fill up the time, which is a good thing. Althoughhe is a quiet person, he made excellent efforts to find muslim friendlyrestaurant while at the same time ensuring we sample the best local cuisines..delicious.

Dear Emma
We have been back at home for a week now and have had time to reflect on our wonderful time in China.
Thank you very much for organising such a special holiday in China for us. It was the most expensive holiday we have ever had but we realise this was partly due to Chinese New Year but mainly due to no English speaking larger tours being available at this time of year. The distances travelled also meant that internal flights needed to be used. We appreciated that you tried to book us into some smaller, simpler accommodation which is our preference and we stayed in some lovely guesthouses - thank you. We felt privileged to be in China for Chinese New Year and really appreciated the Guides and Drivers working over the holiday time. We hope that you had a good New Year!
I felt strangely moved to come back to China, the land of my birth! And we loved Guilin, the place where my parents met and got married. Our daughter will get married in May so we bought her a pearl necklace and earrings there to wear at her wedding in memory of her grandparents. [We also bought her 2 Chinese lanterns for the wedding with double happiness and the dragon and phoenix on them!] A Chinese school friend of mine recommended that we go to the Yangshuo Experience Show so our Tour Guide arranged that and we found it was an amazing end to a day spent among the Limestone pinnacles of the area. [I maybe should add that cycling on the wrong side of the road, for us, with all the electric scooters and other traffic is a very daunting thought for some of us - I personally was grateful to Henry, our Guide, for taking me on a tandem to a quiet road with no traffic. The scenery was very beautiful there even if the cycling terrified me.]
Thank you very much for the offer of compiling a photo flash. We would really appreciate that but hope it is all right if we wait for a few days as we plan to show our photos on a screen to some friends, and then we will have a better idea as to which pictures to use. We would like Chinese music to accompany the photos, please.
Thank you again for all your hard work.
With best wishes
Marian [and Colin] Martin
