It's always great to hear feedback from clients. And even greater is when testimonials are received. Just to share some here. Thanks for your feedback and we are listening...

"This was our first vacation out of the U.S. and we were a little nervous about leaving the tour group and going out on our own (also, a little nervous about hiring someone off the internet). We were able to see about five or six additional sites that the group didn’t see, including the Luxor Museum and the Tombs of the Nobles which were two of my favorite places. The price to hire him was about the same as the rate to go with the group (with the exception of all the extra tickets for the additional sites) so it was really a bargain. Thanks for helping with our trip and a lifetime of great memories!"--Gerald Cook, USA.

Shanghai French Concession Walking Tour

在接连几轮的雨雪天气中，好不容易有个大晴天，我请了位私人导游带我转转上海以前的法租界，不超过2车道的马路，高大的梧桐（虽然现在冬天，只有枝干挺立），老式的建筑，让人找不着方向的众多小路。还好Rita 带着，所以我就只关心路边的风景了。Rita告诉我说，原法租界涉及卢湾、徐汇两个区，主要道路是淮海中路，两边的小马路慢慢散开，纵横地构成一个个小方格子。现在上海较多保留地20世纪初私人住宅建筑，也多在法租界。我们走走逛逛，思南路、茂名南路、汾阳路、东平路、衡山路......

和Rita聊这些房子，知名的、无名的，有故事的、废弃的，要保留的、改造过的。孙中山故居现在作为展览馆保留得很不错。名人效应还是有讲究的。当然，他不是一般的名人。

聊旅游，因为她多是做涉外的私人导游，遇到过好些有意思的客人，有一位从事小学教师职业的，要求去看上海的少年宫，和小朋友们接触。不同的人，旅行目的真是无所不有。Rita自己也很喜欢旅行，可惜元旦和朋友去厦门的计划没有实现，不然，说不定我们会在另一个城市遇见呢！

聊私人导游，现在国内的人很少有请私人导游的习惯，还是国外的客人居多。也对，在国内，这是一种新潮的旅行方式。我一直觉得，继自助游、深度游之后，聘请私人导游的旅行模式会红火起来。接触当地人，所以比自助游更多有趣体验，更多收益。比旅行社的深度游更个性化、自主化。可惜的是，国内能直接找到好的私人导游的途径太少，找到Rita，也是通过国外的一个网站。如果是通过中介或旅行社介绍的业务，导游要返还一定比例的收益给介绍人，令我吃惊的是，Rita告诉我有些返还的比例高达50%! 所以知道www.ourexplorer.com时，Rita也很是期待。不过，她认为如何找到大量优质的导游，是个难题，因为现在导游相互间的沟通比较少。但我们有信心，万事开头难，只要有坚持和努力，就会有结果。
