This tour was amazing! My tour guide Mr. Xia Qing Gang was amazing and made the tour very easy! He provided drinks and snacks in the car. Very clean car. He picked me up at my location, drove me to each location and helped me meet with my tour guide, Lily, to complete the tour. Lily was very informative and knowledgable about each place that we stopped at! She was very helpful with getting me through each line with the tickets that were included in the tour. I am a solo traveler, so she also took pictures of me at each stop and anywhere where I wanted a picture taken. They treated me to lunch and we all ate together. Then they also took me to a tea house to see how tea is made and drank here. They also stopped in front of the Bird’s Nest to let me get a picture. Plenty of time was allotted for each thing listed on the itinerary and it was an overall wonderful experience! Would book again!
Andy was our guide for a 1 day tour to Panda Zoo, Summer Palace & Temple of Heaven. He is a very experienced, professional and knowledgeable guide. He is someone who is willing to go the extra mile. Highly proficient in both spoken English & Chinese languages, he is able to narrate the historical events in a very interactive manner, which is easy to understand and capture everyone's attention. He is also very attentive especially to the children's needs and is able to react to different situations well. Knowing that we are travelling with children, he has prepared some snacks for them while on the road. This came in handy. During the trip, he had recommended the acrobat show and our children enjoyed it very much. If you would like to experience five star VIP standards, I would highly recommend to engage Andy for the private tour. Furthermore, there is also another designated driver for the tour. Hence, the entire experience was seamless. Definitely worth your money to pay abit more. Would definitely refer him to family and friends if they are visiting Beijing.
This is a great tour to book to see other sights of Beijing. Our guide, Sherry was very accomodating and helpful. She even added new items to the itinerary when we were ahead of schedule and the lunch place she took us to was really good. The peking duck was incredible at this place. Great time overall.
This tour was extremely seamless thanks to the competence of Cindy (guide) and Mr Tian (driver)! Cindy arrived early at our hotel lobby and Mr Tian was already waiting in the extremely comfortable 7-seater car. They even had drinks and candies ready for us. Mr Tian and Cindy liaise with each very well, so we had very little waiting time before & after every activity. The car is always ready to pick us up to the next venue. Panda House: We’re so lucky we managed to catch 3 pandas awake and having their meals in their separate houses! They’re huge. Summer Palace: I absolutely love this one, special thanks to Cindy. I was especially intrigued about The Dragon Lady. It made me read up even more after the tour. Temple of Heaven: Stunning architecture in blue with so much history behind it. There were beautiful marble carvings. Vast knowledge provided by Cindy once again. Souvenir: Cindy & Mr Tian drove us to do our souvenir shopping and patiently waited for us to finish shopping before getting lunch. They are so patient. They catered to my parents’ meal timing of wanting to have a late lunch. I am grateful. Lunch: I totally forgot that lunch was provided and paid for. The tour company is so kind to cater to our dietary restriction. Cindy brought us to a Chinese Muslim restaurant and we all had our meals together. She is so sweet to serve food to my parents & I, wanting us to try the different dishes available. Everything was so tasty! Thank you very much Cindy & Mr Tian for making the day tour a smooth and enjoyable one! Cindy even recommended shows to watch and other places to visit in Beijing for our next trip. All our family photos are taken by her too :-) We are so happy to have Cindy as our guide.
Highly recommended! Great fuss-free private tour. We were well-taken care of by our guide Mr Anson Wu who gave us fantastic service and commentary. A very experienced guide. From start to finish, we enjoyed his tour very much. Mr He the driver has a big, comfortable and clean car. He made sure that our family didn't have to walk too far.
Lily was such a wonderful tour guide! We saw everything we wanted to in detail and didn’t feel rushed at all. She’s very knowledgeable so we got so much more out of this tour than if we went to these places alone. All tickets and transportation are taken care of, including yummy lunch, so we didn’t need have to worry about anything at all! Lily is so personable and we really loved talking to her about the attractions, culture, and just daily life here in China. We had a lot of fun and learned so much. We highly recommend this tour!
Very good tour which covers both tourist attractions and the Beijing zoo. Both the tour guide, Lisa, and the driver, Mr Zhang are sincere and enthusiastic. Overall, we are well taken care of and enjoyed ourselves very much.
My family and I recently had a tour led by Albert in Beijing, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Albert is incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and culture. He not only shared fascinating insights about the landmarks we visited but also helped us appreciate the people of Beijing. Albert's English was excellent, making it easy for our family to engage and ask questions. His tips and recommendations were invaluable, whether it was about the best local spots to explore or the must-try dishes. Speaking of food, the restaurant he took us to for lunch was outstanding! Each dish was delicious and truly showcased the flavors of the region. Overall, our tour with Albert was a fantastic experience. His passion for his city and dedication to ensuring we had a memorable time made all the difference.
Our tour guide Christine was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Panda House, Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace in 1 day was exhausting but very worth it. Good weather was also a plus.
sherry, our guide & Lu our driver was extremely helpful & kind in entertaining our questions and needs throughout the tour. sherry was very informative & explained the history & background information about giant panda, summer palace & temple of heaven to us providing us with unforgettable memories. driver lu also drove responsibly & picked us up promptly.
