Dear Luna,

So nice to hear from you,thank you very much for your kind email.

Marilyn and I would like to thank you and all the guides and drivers, that made our visit really fantastic and allowed us to have an exceptional experience of getting to know so many varied parts of China and experiencing so many facets of the country in terms of the people, country side,culture, history, food,economic activity, development, growth, just to mention some aspects .

Our overall impression is that the visit far exceeded our expectations and hope.
 

It will take us a long time to digest the wonderful things we experienced.  A very important part of the visit was the relationships with the local guides and drivers. Getting to know these persons and sharing meals with them made the visit so meaningful. Without these personal contacts our visit would never have been so valuable in getting to know so many facets of your fascinating country and its people.

Luna, you did a fantastic job in putting everything together, I very much enjoyed working with you to plan our visit. Your sense of perfection and your kindness made our visit a fantastic and lasting experience. When we plan to come to China again we will certainly contact you to help us put something together. If you come to Paris, please let us know so that we can get together.

All the best and thank you again!

Kind regards,

Melchior Dikkers

Dear Yolanda,

Finally I’m answering your kind message below, after a looooong delay.

After almost one month and half China is still in our minds. The journey was so successful that we are talking all around us about this wonderful country and of course your important role in this success.

In a nutshell, we preferred the central and western China (from Chengdu to Kasghar, including Tibet and Xi’an) to the eastern big cities. Definitely, when the cities are ‘small’ the warmness and kindness of people are higher than in the ‘big’ eastern cities like Shanghai and Hong Kong. The services were much more customized to the size of our small group of 5 in central and western China than in eastern China where our group was considered and treated as much bigger (20 to 50) tourist (Chinese or foreign) groups, especially in the restaurants. In central and western China, the restaurants were relatively small and typical compared to the huge mass tourism dedicated restaurants of the east coast.

We were very happy to be on the Chinese Victoria Cruises instead of the American Victoria Cruises! In a newly visited country, the contacts with the local population is what we were looking instead to be confined with other tourists like us.

Concerning the guides, except few (see below), they were good but their knowledge of the French was very different from one region to the other. Few of them were acting as escort girls/boys instead of real guides explaining in detail the visited monument, museum or region.

4 would be the overall note for our Chinese trip with a special mention for the excellence of the organization. We’ll certainly recommend China Exploration  to our friends wishing to discover China.

Thank you again for all your efforts and support to make our journey a successful trip. I wish you good luck and success in your professional life.

With my warmest regards,

Robert

Hi Yolanda,

Just a note to say (now we are back in England!) thank you very much indeed for all your help while we were in China and Tibet over the last few weeks. Especially for re-arranging our flights out of Lhasa to Xi'an and the hotel so swiftly and efficiently. We were extremely grateful (especially me as I was feeling so ill!).

Looking forward to our next trip, when we have got over this one!

Very many thanks again.

All the best,

Gemma and Mark
