Our favorite guides were Sara and Jimmy. Sara taught us a lot, both historical and current information. She also went out of her way to provide some music that she enjoys since she knew I was looking for popular music while I was in China. Jimmy provided a wealth of information and made sure we all were able to pick up a few last gifts before our time in China was over, and he did this without costing us any items from our agenda. They both packed a lot of activities and fun in a short amount of time. Went above and beyond what could have been expected of them. We wish we could have had more time with Judy. She was a lot of fun and had a unique personality. Our favorite tour activities were the small boat excursion and the Tang Dynasty dinner show.

We had no problems with communicating with any of the guides. Some spoke a more Americanized version of English than others but we enjoyed the differences between the guides. We never felt that we were missing information due to a lack of communication.
