Dear Nancy, We very much enjoyed the tour thank you. There were a few minor problems such as food poisoning in the restaurant in Lijiang which could have been avoided had the restaurant heated our food correctly and not served it luke warm but we addressed these issues with the guide at the time. Also we were not happy with the hotel in Lijiang. Our room was facing a small alley and next to a very noisy bar which kept us awake all hours. It was a very dark room with no daylight at all and was also very cold. Breakfast was completely Chinese and they did not seem to cater for foreigners at all apart from having eggs. However the Hotel in Shangril La was wonderful. All in all it was an excellent tour and we would be happy to use your cervices again. Thank you very much for all your help. Kind Regards,
