Awesome trip! Special Thanks to Yan. - Superb experience. We have a great guide, Yan. She is punctual and efficient. Started tye tour at 9am (on time) and ended at 5pm. A full 8 hours solid tour. Learnt more about the places visited, story behind the scene and etc. Most importantly, Yan offered her help and assist us to take lots of good photos! Awesome! Above all, we also met a few new friends, from KL, Penang and Texas! What a fruitful day! One suggestion, if ear piece is provided, that would be wonderful!

10/10 Yan is the best tour guide ever!!! - Her deep knowledge of the history and local culture made my experience truly unforgettable. She shared fascinating stories about every part of the temple and her passion for her work was evident throughout the tour. Yan was well-prepared, friendly, and always available to answer my questions I had no matter how silly they were, If you’re looking for a guide who truly knows her stuff and makes every moment engaging, Yan is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

Royal Outside the Forbidden City - Our guide, Jimmy, has great knowledge and interesting stories about Chinese history. Even though we have over-run but Jimmy did not simply rush to conclude the tour. We enjoyed the tour alot.

Overall great! Shannon... - Overall great! Shannon was my tour guide and Helen was also on the tour. I liked that we started with the Temple of Heaven and then went to the Summer Palace. I do wish we would’ve ended by a subway stop, but I don’t know that it’s possible.
