Dear Daniel Li,
I am just writing to thank you for arranging such an excellent tour guide and driver for my tours while in Hangzhou.
Mary Zhang and her driver made our stay in Hangzhou one of the most memorable and informative experiences we have ever had when travelling to China.
Mary has such a nice personality, professional skills and a great knowledge about Hangzhou and China that every minute with her was an absolute pleasure.
We will be telling all my friends about your wonderful tour company and recommending anyone we meet, who is going to visit Hangzhou and China, to book with your company and especially asking for Mary Zhang as a tour guide in Hangzhou.
Than kyou once again
