Hello Kathy,
I just wanted to follow up with you and say what a great time we all had during our trip to Beijing. Candy was an awesome tour guide who was very accommodating to our unique needs (we had some very specific dietary requirements that she made sure were taken care of every place we went). I know we were all impressed with the quality of the accommodations and how smoothly the entire trip went.
If I am ever traveling to China again for vacation, I will definitely book a tour through you.
Regards,
John Damalas

The history of Silk Road dates back to more than 2,000 years. It started in Chang'an (present Xian, Shaanxi Province) in the east and extended to Rome, Italy in the west. The route passes through Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai provinces, Ningxia Hui and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions and then stretches over the Pamirs, further extend to Central and West Asia and finally gets to the east bank of the Mediterranean Sea and Eastern Europe. The total length of the Silk Road is over 2,485 miles, over half of which is within China.
