  • Dear Mr. Ping :
    We have just finished two days tour of sightseeing in Guilin and will  return to Shanghai tomorrow.  Since I have taken hundreds of photos, it may take me awhile to sort through them and send you some of them.  So please be patient and send me a reminder in a week if you have not received them by then.
        As we wrote in the written report for Jones, we have only very good things to say about our experience in Beijing.  Both Jones and Mr.Ping provided us with excellent service.  They were friendly, polite and efficient.  Jones is very knowledgeable and she provided us with excellent commentary at every place that we visited.  We particularly appreciated both her flexibility and her responsiveness to our special requests.   For example, Pam wanted very much to visit Mao''s tomb, so Jones rearranged our schedule so that we could do so and still visit all of the other sights that we wanted to see.  Jones and Mr. Ping coordinated everything perfectly.  We also appreciated Jones's choice of restaurants.  She asked us what kind of restaurants we liked, we told her and she found them for us.  We enjoyed every lunch.  We will certainly recommend your service to our friends and relatives, and we will also recommend that they request that Johnes be their guide.  She was unfailingly helpful to us from the time she and Mr. Ping picked us up at Beijing Airport until the time that he took us back to Beijing Airport and helped us check in for our flight to Xi'an.
    Is there your website guest book link page or just posted on your home page??

       Thank you again for making our visit to Beijing so enjoyable.  We will send you some of our photos soon.
