"Just back to Hong Kong this afternoon, but wanted quickly to thank you for a wonderful trip. Everything worked really well and we had a great time. Rose and Tom were brilliant. The programme was excellent and just suited what we wanted—much more local content and less organised tourism! We will be telling all our friends in HK about Lotus!"

— Michael and Michael, London/Bermuda

"I just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time in Chengdu on our cooking course. I learned so much and will use what I have learned and enjoy it for many years to come. Tom was a huge part of the enjoyment of our tour. He was efficient, caring, knowledgable and went above and beyond his duty in showing us around and making sure that all went well in our tour. We also very much enjoyed Qing Qing and the cooking course, he was a very talented teacher and made the course both enjoyable and interesting. Thank you so much, this will live long in our memories as one of the best experiences ever."—Barbara and friends, Hong Kong

"We have traveled the world for the past 30+ years, and this may have been the BEST. Rose and Tom made this such a memorable trip. Tom exceeded all expectations and wishes. We were made to feel very special and treated like family. Thank you."— The Fishers, Florida
