Beijing Zoo tours

Traveling to China with my 8-year-old twins was an incredible experience, and Ms. Sherry made it even better. She made every stop fun and engaging for the girls while sharing fascinating historical and cultural insights with me. She was flexible, happy to go at our pace, and even taught the girls some Mandarin. Since it was only our second day in China, we were still finding our way. Ms. Sherry helped us navigate, understand the culture, and feel comfortable in a new country. She also took wonderful family photos that we will always treasure. If you are visiting China, especially with children, I highly recommend Ms. Sherry. She is knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about helping visitors experience her world.

Murphy was an excellent guide for our Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall tour! His English was perfect, and he was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. He was always attentive, kept the group organized, and gave us enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Tiananmen Square was closed due to a political event, but at the end of the tour he still took us to see it from outside, which we really appreciated. The transportation was excellent, and the buffet lunch was delicious. We felt well taken care of throughout the day. Highly recommend Murphy and this tour!

Jimmy was our private guide for Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, and he was fantastic! His knowledge of the emperors and Chinese history was excellent, and he also shared great insights into daily life in China today. The tour was well paced, and he was engaging and patient throughout. Thank you Jimmy!

This tours was worth it, and we were lucky to be able to go inside and visit Tian’anmen Square with an express pass and all the way into Forbidden City. Our walking guide Vivian was very detailed in preparing us the night before the tour with essential information and forbidden items to bring along this tour making it seamless during our tour. She was very detailed in explaining the architecture of the forbidden city building, it’s rich history and meaning behind the building’s features. Vivian also take good photos !

Recommend. Give the long queue, high security control, and massive size, I think good idea to go with the tour. JuLia was a knowledgeable tour guide and learned well. Remember passport is a must, slso recommend to pack light. The tour ends inside the palace, so you may explore more before heading to Jingshan for sunset. Just wish we were told more about the Palace Museum as well (which I guess we did not go, and didn’t know where).

We had an amazing day with Zhao. He was a very kind and safe driver. My kids (ages 2 and 9) loved him. He speaks English and also has a translator. He was very patient with us and accommodated all of our requests. He assisted us in getting tickets for the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. He also recommended an acrobatic show for first-time visitors in Beijing, and we are so glad we watched it. The acrobatic show was one of a kind — we absolutely loved it, especially the kids. My 2-year-old watched the entire show without looking away! We also requested to visit an authentic Chinese restaurant, and he brought us to a great one. Everything was wonderful. We highly recommend this tour and Zhao! 太谢谢你了 Zhou! All the best!

Overall, I enjoyed the experience and Yuly did a great job keeping everyone together and explaining key parts of the Forbidden City’s history. I would have preferred less time there and more time at the Great Wall. The itinerary could be more transparent. I didn’t expect to take a public bus after the Forbidden City to reach another bus, or to pick up more passengers along the way. The Great Wall extras were also confusing. On the bus, we were asked which sides we wanted to visit and charged 280 RMB for cable car/toboggan tickets. It felt like these were compulsory, although they are optional and cheaper options are available on site. This should be explained clearly before payment. That said, the cable cars and toboggan were amazing and so much fun! I don’t regret the experience or extra money spent. I’m grateful for the guidance and knowledge I gained, although I now feel confident I could organise it myself next time and spend more time exploring the Great Wall at my own pace!
