A Dream Holiday in China

Hi Karen,

I am so thrilled to have visited your country! What a pleasant contrast to the rest of the places we have visited during our lifetime. As may have been mentioned before, I worked as an engineer for British Airways at London (Heathrow) for 34 years. This work gave me and my family the opportunity to take many holidays to different countries across the world (staff travel). We consider we are a well travelled family with lots of experience to draw on. We do not drink or smoke and choose to spend our hard earned money on travel. We constantly look at TV holiday programmes, brochures and now the internet for new and interesting places to visit and hence our visit to China (China Odyssey). To arrange things and to pay large sums of money over the internet was a bit of a worry to us as we are from the older generation. These days you hear of so much fraud on the internet. You have no idea the relief we felt when we saw Jennifer with a piece of paper and our names on it at Shanghai Airport.

Karen you are to be congratulated! Between you and Judy you put together an itinerary which turned out to be a dream holiday for me. The attention to detail and service, the planning and the execution was truly wonderful. To cap it all when things went slightly wrong you were on the case and came up with a prompt solution to keep my dream going. Thankyou!

Now you have asked for feedback about our tour.

You talk about the arrangements. I feel I have covered them above. We have and would certainly recommend your company to anybody we know who is thinking about venturing towards China.

With regard to all our guides and drivers. The guides certainly provided us with all the information and knowledge we could wish for and they were very attentive to our needs.

The drivers all drove in a very civilised way and kept us safe. As you can imagine it was a culture shock for us to experience the way all road users use the Chinese roads. From our point of view we are used to well ordered and disciplined road use.

We have no objection to your company using our experiences to promote China Odyssey Tours.

It was a pleasure to have met you in person at your office in Guilin.

Best wishes

John & Judy Finch
