Dear Eric and Robert,

I am not one for writing letters, but the experience I had on the Fu in February warrants one. To say it was incredible would be an understatement. From beginning to end, there was an air of professionalism and organization that allowed me to relax immediately. The guides really made us feel at home and earned my complete respect from the start.

Robert, it amazed me how you could take care of all the logistics while leading and being such an integral part of all of our experiences. Your dedication and obvious love and enjoyment in what you do made my trip that much more memorable.

This was a premium trip. There are companies that tried to sell me similar trips at lower prices, but I can’t imagine any of them attaining the level of safety, care and guide interaction with the guests that I experienced, let alone the camps.

I hope I will have the opportunity to travel with you again.

Sincerely,

Ian Zolty
