“A wonderful family trip with Daslie”
One of the best family vacation that we had. Daslie is the most resourceful and considerate guide we’ve ever met. She is very proficient in both English and Mandarin which makes communication a breeze. The tour turned out well and everyone in our family enjoyed the tour and her company. I could tell that a lot of work went on behind her scenes. She pre-planned every tour, every detail and prepared for every contingency. She carries around a large backpack (must have been heavy!) with lots of stuffs to keep us comfortable, like fans and snacks in case anyone needs. She’s definitely well prepared. It must be her gentle nature and caring self that carried thru to the way she engages with everyone in the family and made everyone feel welcomed and at ease. As a result, we could focus on spending time and enjoying as a family and not having to worry about anything else. This valuable time together is something we treasure a lot. We could experience the many facets of Xiamen that we never would have seen by ourselves. Thank you, Daslie, for all the arrangements, for your friendship and most of all, for being you.
