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
