Hi Reina,
I am writing to you to thank you very much for our wonderful trip to China. The tour that you organised was fantastic. Your tour guides were exceptional in both their English and their knowledge of their subject. They are to be congratulated. We enjoyed our train journey from Shanghai to Xiamen. It gave us the opportunity to see the countryside and to relax at the same time. I have no hesitation in recommending your company to other travellers.
Thank you once again.
Kind regards
Janet Hawke, USA
