Dear Reina,
On behalf of my family and myself I would like to thank you and your people who made our trip to Beijing so memorable. Your last minute help in arranging our private tour and the tour itself were fabulous. Our guide and driver were wonderful and enhanced our experience of your fascinating city enormously. We brought away many happy memories from our trip which we will cherish for a long time to come. Even my 2 and 4 year old children enjoyed the sightseeing. Our guide, Michael, was particularly patient and kind with them and I appreciate this greatly. This was our first private tour and is definitely the way to see a big city when travelling with family. I have already recommended you to some friends who will be in Beijing next week so you may hear from them and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to others visiting Beijing also.
Thank you once again and keep up the good work.
Yours sincerely,
Donna Wakeling, USA
