……Just to reiterate some thoughts on the Dream of the Dragon
tour we just completed, we thought it one of the best we have taken, anywhere
in the world. The prep work done by you
and your staff certainly paid off. The
national guide, she was a real special lady. Smart, would be understatement. Very organized and obviously dedicated to her job of playing nursemaid
to a group of noisy Americans. The local
guide in Xian was another standout. Everybody absolutely loved him. He was equally good. Other local
guide on the boat was another of the stars. …… If you ever need a
recommendation just give them my number. I am including below a copy of the travel letter we put out after each
trip to our e-mail friends around the world and across the U.S……. Once again,
thank you for a great trip……

……This is to tell you that Linda and I had a truly
exceptional experience throughout our recent 18 day China Tour.
Our National guide was superb, professional, knowledgeable, considerate
and personable. The itinerary was excellent, the aircraft and trains were
clean, new and well maintained, and service was excellent. The Yangtze cruise
ship provided us with excellent food and on board information and
entertainment. As you are aware,
several members of our group had to be hospitalized due to pre-existing
conditions. Tony got immediate assistance for them and they reported
that the medical facilities were proper and professional. We have traveled regularly twice a year for
the last 20 years (
China
in 1992) and this trip will remain
as one of the best!!!......

your before, and now I understand why!! This was a great experience from every point of view and I praise you
for this. I have traveled to over 60
countries myself, usually with so-called adventure companies and I tell you the
truth, your trip had all the adventure of their, plus more. First, a word of praise for the national
guide. It is impossible to be better
than he was. I have been to
China
7 times now, and no one compares to
him. His compassion, concern, kindness
and sincerity were outstanding. Second,
you had some wonderful local guides. The
best were in
Kunming
, in Zhongdian, in Lijiang, and the
guide in
Lhasa
. Their sense of
humor and quality of English were marvelous…… Many thanks again for a quality trip……

tour guide you assigned our group during the entire trip. All guides were courteous, spoke very good
English, were extremely knowledgeable about their city, history, culture, and
shared personally with us, answering numerous questions. They all deserve a special “Thank you” for
doing such excellent guiding. The bus
drivers were also excellent. They were

……I have
been meaning to let you know that I really enjoyed the Shangri-la and
Tibet
tour I took earlier this
summer. Although it wasn’t my 1st choice of tours, I am very happy that I visited the
Yunnan
province. I enjoyed seeing the markets and witnessing
the minority people’s costumes. It was
very different from my previous visit to
China
and I’m glad that I went now,
before it is to overrun with Western tourists. I would like to have visited more of
Tibet
, which was my choice for a vacation
this year, but I hope to return someday to explore it more in depth. Overall, the guides were adequate, with the
local guides in
Kunming
and
Tibet
very good. The hotels, buses and drivers were also adequate. I especially enjoyed the hotels in Lijiang
and
Lhasa
, which were extremely well located
and had a local feeling, not the normal Chinese high-rise hotels. I appreciated the itinerary of the trip,
which had us gaining altitude very gradually. Due to the this slow ascent, no one on the tour had a major problem with
the high altitude in
Tibet
. ……Overall, I had a great time on
this tour and would recommend it to others. This was my second trip with
Orient Odyssey
and I would not hesitate to use you
again. I hope to visit
Myanmar
within the next few years and
Orient Odyssey
will probably be one of the tours I
will chose from. Thank you for your help
in arranging this trip and I hope to travel with you again……

were. Of course no trip can be really
good without a good tour director and local guides without any question our

made it all so much more of a pleasure was the professional competence and
cheerfulness of our national guide. Managing a diverse group such as ours could not have been easy, but he
made it seem so. At all times the daily
itineraries were clearly set out and explained. The internal travel
arrangements went like clockwork, as did the hotel bookings and room
assignments. All the hotels were of a
very good standard.
China
was an eye opener for all of

astounding, from the planes we flew in to the fantastic airport, road systems

anything! Planes were on time, luggage
was always there, tickets were gotten promptly, lunches and dinners were always
waiting. And, by the way, the food was
delicious! At restaurants we were
treated extraordinarily well. I was
overwhelmed at the Yangtze Project. It

day from morning to night we were busy sightseeing, traveling, going to
museums, entertainment, beautiful temples, the Great Wall, the terra cotta

our national guide. She went way above

details and was always there to serve our needs. She followed our group to make sure we were
never lost. She did her work with

……Thanks for putting together such a marvelous trip for our
travel group. I had an absolutely
wonderful 18 days. I cannot tell you how
happy I am that they convinced me to become one of the tour member. In my opinion your company provided
everything I expected. I was very
satisfied with the selection of local guides provided to us. Each of them in His/her own way did all they
could to make our time together enjoyable. Oh sure, by American standards the beds could have been softer, the
meals more diverse, all the guides speak English to perfection. I am totally pleased with your company for
planning a great itinerary and providing the guides and transportation to
facilitate it all. I am now looking
forward, in a few years, to a return trip so I can see the results of the
Yangtze River
project. For certain I will keep your company in mind
and also refer prospective
Asia
travelers to you……

……We just had to write you a letter and express our
gratitude to all of you for the help we received on our recent trip to
China
. We must say that
Orient Odyssey
went out of their way to take care
us when Willis had problems with his defibrillator. Making arrangements for the ambulance, and
seeing that we had a translator to help with all the questions and answers. Getting our Visas separated from the group so
that we could go home at anytime, which we did not. We felt secure with the help that we were
getting from
Orient Odyssey
. Throughout the
trip, the tour Manager saw that Willis was comfortable, telling him the places
that maybe to much walking or to many stairs and arranging wheel chair at
others. Arranging for good seats on
flights and all the little things we take for granted. We just wanted to tell you how much you were
appreciated and to THANK YOU for all your help. If you ever need a recommendation you will always get one from us……

one of the lucky dozen who spent the first ten days of November with you in
China
. I realize it wasn’t just luck, but the tour represented innumerable
hours of planning and dozens of arrangements and hundreds of details to
assemble before you could offer us such a successful conclusion. Your guides were much more than that, because
besides giving information and background about each stop, they shepherded us
along the way, especially national guide, who could not have been more patient
and helpful and calm in every situation……

. I can’t say enough for the quality in not only the accommodations, but
also in our guide service. Our National
guide, with his million dollar personality, was the joy of the trip. He took care of us like family. We especially appreciated the way you looked
after our brother-in-law Willis Wilcox. Your concern was genuine, and we greatly appreciated it. This trip was the dream of a lifetime for
him, and except for a few incidents, he did quite well…… If you ever need a
recommendation, or a prospective customer who might have a concern over the
quality of trip, just give them my number. Our best to you for the coming holidays, and may 2003 be a very
prosperous year for

excellent. He was like a shepherd making
sure everything went right, interfacing with the locals, getting us through the
airport and train lines quickly, and most of all, helping out those in the
group that needed assistance. He was
also easy to talk to and always calm. He
became a friend. Our guides were very
good. All the hotels had excellent
accommodations, service and stylish lobbies. They were better than we expected. The boat on the Yangtze was very good. The staterooms were large and the bathrooms complete. The large windows were great to sit and watch
