As you know, Sophie, I had doubts about dealing with an oversea company and was reluctant at first but your professionalism and promptness, long with a little homework on my side, won me over and I am very glad we decided to go with China Odyssey. And as your company saying goes, 'you're not along in China', we never feel alone as soon as we stepped out of the arrival of the arrival gate at our first destination.
