Sometimes there was much food, often actually. But when asked, that was adjusted for us. My favorite meal was the one in the house they visited in Xi'an. Most of the restaurants were excellent: The Auspicious Business Hotel in Beijing was good, as was McFound in Guilin. I didn't take care of our first lunch in Beijing, although I don't recall the name of the restaurant.
Hello Abbey! This is Jennifer Slack, I need to thank you for a brilliant experience visiting China. I had misgivings beforehand, but would now very much like to come back! Your guide service made visiting China possible and pleasurable!
Sarah in Beijing: A brilliant, energetic, clever, and personable guide. With her guidance, we learned and experienced much over would otherwise have been possible in a comparatively short time. We felt honored to meet her, and deeply grateful for the immense energy she put in to making our experience of Beijing a rewarding one.
Ruth in Xi'an: A lovely, clever guide who appeared to effortlessly glide through the pains of our schedule. Her English skills are excellent. When we visited a local home for lunch, Ruth facilitated a discussion by translating that was so well done they felt like they were communicating with our hosts.
Juan in Guilin: A spunky, smart man with whom they had many laughs. For a young man to guide two older ladies with such good humor was a actual pleasure. Juan's English was excellent and he was a font of information about China as well as of Guilin more specifically. They appreciated his suggestions for places to eat; the most consistently good food they got was in Guilin under his guidance.
I was one time impressed by the skill of the drivers. It was kind of terrifying being driven in China, but I soon realized that each of our drivers was excellent.
Again, thank you for making China possible! You have opened up a whole new part of the world to me. I feel that I have finally begun to feel connected to this very important part of the world!
