Excellent tours with Linda, giving great meaning to the sites that we were seeing - We spent two days doing tours with Linda. She took us to see The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and then the following day we saw the Summer Palace, Lama Temple, and the Golden Mask show. Linda gave great history and meaning to the sites and explain things clearly. She was very attentive to be sure that we understood what she was saying and explaining. She was patient with our 12 and 13-year-old boys, and even brought them each a special bookmark gift! Linda also followed up with us after the trip, helping to arrange a car to the train station for the next leg of our trip, and checking in on us to be sure that everything was going smoothly. I would highly recommend working with Linda, and this group, for your travels in Beijing. It was very helpful to have a Chinese speaker to navigate some of the ticketing and security challenges that have been different from other countries that we visited.

unforgettable experience! - The tour guide Lily, with her professional knowledge and boundless enthusiasm, gave us a lively history lesson. She explained every detail of the Forbidden City to us in fluent English, which greatly benefited me. The driver, Mr. Wang, is very friendly and professional. The next time we visit Beijing, I will definitely choose FriendlyChina Heritage Tours services again, looking forward to embarking on this unforgettable journey once more.

Wonderful guide - Linda was a wonderful guide who was very knowledgeable. She reached out to me ahead of the tour and gave me a detailed heads up about the tour and what to expect. She was very professional from the beginning till the end. Linda was great with my son who asked many questions. Highly recommend Linda if you are thinking of getting a guide for Forbidden Palace and Tiannamen Square

Loved it! Highly Recommended! - Summer was an excellent guide. He brought to life the history of both the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as the little known Shun Dynasty, as we explored the Forbidden City together. It was especially interesting for my family as we're fans of period C-dramas like Story of Yanxi Palace, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, etc. which took place at the Forbidden City during the Qing Dynasty. We enjoyed our morning with Summer thoroughly, and highly recommend this tour.

Incredible time in Beijing! - We chose Friendly China Heritage Tours for our 3 day visit in Beijing. She picked us up at the airport and took us to visit the Forbidden City right away, followed by the temple of Heaven and Tianmen Square. She helped us through all the complicated Chinese entry points and took care of our tickets before we arrived. Her English is great and she explained everything in depth and answered all our questions. Most of all Linda is big hearted and does everything to ensure every single person in the group is happy. She took us to the best restaurants and gave us incredible tips. Linda also helped us organize the trip months in advance also helping us book our train tickets and organize a private visit to Xi’an as well. We definitely recommend her and Weill be using her again when we come back to China next time!

Perfect - I had an amazing 3-day tour of Beijing and the Great Wall, perfectly organized by Linda. The itinerary was well-planned, including a 4-hour tour of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, as well as a visit to a beautiful, uncrowded section of the Great Wall. Linda’s knowledge, attention to detail, and friendly approach made the experience seamless and unforgettable. Everything from transportation to accommodations was flawless. Highly recommend this tour and Linda’s expertise!
