Dear Lily 

Although we have finished the tour since 2 weeks already, I would like to warmly thank you for the experience provided to us. 

We have no words to express, it was an absolutely amazing experience . It was exactly what we wanted, more on the cultural and nature side. 

I really appreciate extending our "non-smoking hotel rooms" requirement to all guides and drives as well. Was way much more that we expected on that. 

Guides:

We enjoyed the company of all the guides that you guys provided to us , well knowledgeable and passionate people about their job and super punctual. If there is to appreciate somebody more that others I think I would choose Abby (from  Zhangjiajie). She stole our hearts. She was super flexible to our hiking needs, and we put her to walk more :) and offered us the most extraordinary culinary experience , with her pick of local restaurants. I would say Abbie went above and beyond . As well Allice from Beijing she was super professional. Really no complaints :)

Hotels:

I think in general hotels were above our expectations. Everywhere breakfast was locally sourced and traditional, well, of course was as well some western influences, but we loved to try the local food. If there is to pick one, maybe the one in Yangshuo  was super fancy ..as it was more modern style.

Drivers:

All drivers were professional, humble and patient. I believe the one in Guilin had amazing accident prevention skills :) as I remember there were 2 situations where he beautifully avoided some unwanted situations.  

Food:

As I mentioned before, we wanted to discover new flavors and we did. I was impressed about the tea culture and started at home to use more tea than coffee :), which is a good thing. Also loved the fact that you try to use seasonal products. The hot pots were absolutely amazing and overall, the pork, the mushrooms...we loved the taste of food. Maybe not so much the one from Shanghai, as it was more into deep fry-- which is not my style. 

The itinerary was just good. Not  on the hurry but not too boring as well . The arrangements for flight and trains were smooth and punctual. We only can congratulate you on that. 

Overall, we would like to come back to China. I still have a lot on my bucket lists to explore in your beautiful country. I would love to experience more in depth the rural side, some more ancient villages and some high mountain hikes and why not , other beautiful landscape/nature destinations.  

So, thank you so much Lily for your support and the good memories provided.
