Mark was the best! - Mark was the kindest guide. He picked up from the airport and took us to tiannamen square, then to eat at the hutongs and after the forbidden city. Not only did he come with us everywhere but he also was patient with us letting us have a little nap in the car inbetween destinations as we just arrived from a very long flight. Deffinately would recommend if you want to see Beijing on a 13hour layover and dont want to deal with the hassle of making it back on time for your next flight.

Friendly, reliable, and versatile transportation services in Beijing - I first used Mark's driving services over 8 years ago on a trip to the Great Wall. The service was so friendly and prompt that I immediately thought to contact him again for transportation needs. This time with a little one in tow, we had twice the luggage AND needed a car seat. As ever, Mark prevailed and provided efficient airport transfer to/from our Beijing hotels. I initially contacted him through mark520bj@hotmail.com and subsequently messaged him through WeChat and arranged e-payment accordingly. Prices were competitive and you may be spoiled for choice in Beijing, but you can't beat the reliability and responsiveness. So again, if you are in need of airport transfers or other transportation services, I would highly recommend Mark and his team!
