Tour Reviews:

Hi Tiffany, 

I want to thank you very much for the hard work you put into my trip. It was really a great trip and your wonderful help in planning was one of the most important reasons it was so good.

I loved Kashgar and the extra days I had on my own were good. I found a good taa house and joined the locals there two afternoons. My guide in the Kashgar area was excellent. 

The trains were a good way to travel. 

Lanzou was another big surprise. My guide took me to the park where I spend most of an afternoon listening and watching the musical groups and dancers...most were older citizens. 

I loved the acrobatic school and I hope to find one of the young men I met in my city doing a show in the future. They were very welcoming. 

The fantastic highlight of the trip was Xiahe. Langdon monestary was much more than I expected. I have visited almost all of the important Yellow Hat monestaries now and Ganden and Langdon are really fantaxtic experiences. I hope to go back and see Ta'sr (is that spelled right?). 

Peter was the guide for the last leg of my trip. HE IS A WONDERFUL GUIDE AND NOW A FRIEND. We had a lot of good talks about life as I have known it and life as he knows it. 

The tour to Tao and Confusious Temples went well too. 

You, Tiffany, are the other highlight but all my guides were good. 

Thank you very much.
