Dear Manager of Nancy Wan,

Because we have asked many questions to Nancy and she has answered all our questions, we will tell you we are very satisfied. We are over 70 years old and travel a lot, but we will travel comfortable.

In our last e-mail we have asked her for your e-mail address. We hope all your Trip Advisors work the same as Nancy. Next time we will come back to Chinatourguide.

Best Regards
