Great guide and sights - Our guide Jeffrey was really kind throughout the day
Right before we began the Summer Palace, one of our shoes fell apart – the sole detached clean! Jeffrey helped find and drive us to a nearby local market (which in itself a fun unexpected experience mixing with locals not accustomed to tourists) and found the one vendor with a pair of shoes that fit!
That aside, the sights were lovely and Jeffrey on hand with great insights and knowledge to answer any questions we had. The Summer Palace grounds in particular were beautiful even in winter, and the Temple of Heaven as the sun sets is breathtaking
Lunch was fantastic as well, and Jeffrey was really attentive to our dietary restrictions.

Excellent Tour with Maggie - I had a wonderful day touring the Lama Temple, Temple of Heaven, and the Panda House with Maggie. She is an excellent tour guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and great at explaining the history in a way that’s easy to enjoy.
I also loved our stop at the pearl shop, where she introduced me to beauty products made from pearl powder. Maggie communicates so well and made the whole experience smooth, fun, and memorable.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Beijing.

December 12 tour review - Lucy took us through everything and told stories which made it very easy to understand and follow along with ancient and modern Chinese history. She showed us things that we would have missed on our own, as well as being very organized with handling all the tickets and coordinating with the driver so that we wouldn’t have to wait long.
Lucy made this experience unforgettable and did a great job narrating our entire tour!

Private guide & car are the way to go! - This private guided tour was a great way to see the sights and learn about the history of China. Lucy spoke very good English and was very friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Having a private car was very convenient and saved a lot of time and we were able to see more in a shorter time.

Pandas and Temples in Beijing - Another great day seeing the sights of Beijing. When limited on time, this is a great way to see the popular sights in a day. Sunny, our guide, shared her knowledge and looked after us well. Our driver, Mr Fang, even took a detour past the Olympic Stadium for us to see.

Fantastic tour of major sites in Beijing! - This was an absolutely amazing tour! Linda was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide who helped us to understand the significance of each temple and palace that we visited. Mr Li was a great driver, and we had the best food of our whole trip for lunch. It was also very fun to visit the panda house and see the magnificent creatures. I would highly recommend this tour!
