Mary Ma,
Thank you for your wonderful assistance in making my trip to Inner Mongolia one of the most amazing events of my life. I have been on private tours before but none any better than yours. You coordinated everything perfectly.
Everything was as good as possible. I am so glad we went to Inner Mongolia. That was the most wonderful part of the trip even though I had difficulty with the weather and food there. The guide, Susan I think, was the very best. The driver was very professinal and helpful. Thank you!
