Forbidden City and Acrobatic Show - We had with Susan and Mr. Wang a perfect day in Beijing. On time we were picked up from the airport and driven to the forbidden city. Mr. Wang is a safe driver and Susan told us a lot about the history of Beijing and that of the imperial dynasties. The tour of the secret city was very interesting. Tiananmen Square was closed for political gatherings , but we could still get a good look at it as Mr. Wang drove slowly and Susan explained the buildings. After visiting the forbidden city, we also attended a tea ceremony and an acrobatics show in the red theatre, which was really good. Everything worked out like clockwork, we didn't have to queue and arrived safely back at the airport. A super activity to bridge the time between 2 flights in Beijing. Thanks to Susan and Mr. Wang

Exceptional service in Beijing - My experience was truly exceptional. My driver, Zhao Jinfu, arrived at the airport even earlier than scheduled to meet me at arrivals, which was incredibly helpful given my tight layover. The car was spotless, perfectly organized, and equipped with everything I might have needed, and he was an excellent, professional driver throughout the trip. Since I was having issues with my mobile connection, he kindly let me use his internet and even accompanied me inside the Forbidden City to make navigation easier and ensure we stayed on schedule for my return. During our time together, he shared several interesting historical facts about the area, which added a lot of value to the visit. I felt very safe and comfortable throughout the day, and the timing was handled perfectly. As I was traveling alone, he also offered to take photos of me, allowing me to keep even better memories of this experience. I would certainly contact him again when I return to Beijing.
