I’m amazed that everything went so smoothly, as I know it was very complicated to coordinate everything especially in a country like China where traveling is inevitably going to include some discomfort and confusion. Our Chinese tour guides were all excellent, and the accommodations were terrific overall (minor complaints here and there but I was pleasantly surprised on the whole). The schedule was perfect—having a couple of days free was a great idea, and the order in which we visited the d...
The highlight of our Shanghai stay was Dvir Bar-Gal's lecture/tour of the Jewish ghetto in Hongkew.

Anyone I meet who is considering a trip to China will certainly be given your name as your seamless operation and the security in having a local contact who was only a cellphone call away made for a very enjoyable adventure. Thank you for a most memorable trip!
Our itinerary was perfect- we saw an amazing variety of Chinese life, culture, food, entertainment, art, and world view. Your service everywhere was impeccable. We can’t say enough about how organized the tour was, yet flexible to change if we wanted it to be. We also can’t say enough about the Chinese people we met. Everyone was very friendly and the Chinese seem to love Americans.
I have been recommending you to my friends who have even casually mentioned coming to Tibet and China.
