Arrived on time to pick us up at our hotel in a very nice vehicle. Our English tour guide Michael (Wong) was very nice, professional and knowledgeable. Our included lunch was delicious! All in all we really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend our particular guide, Michael, to tourist who want to experience a private tour of the highlights of Beijing which included the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace, and Temple of Heaven. We felt very well looked after by Michael. Thank you!

This is the second tour I've taken with Michael. I highly recommend this company and this guide. Michael is a living book. He knows a lot about the history and culture not only of China but also of Asia as a whole. It was an incredible tour, and the cars offered by the company are very new and comfortable. Having a driver at your disposal saves a lot of time, and the guide's assistance makes the day much more productive as he takes you directly to the relevant tourist spots. The guide gave me several good tips. The restaurant he recommended for dinner had an amazing Peking Duch, no queue, and a fair price. The street where this restaurant was located was super cool and unusual for tourists; the tip was invaluable.

We had an incredible guided tour today that took us to some of Beijing's most iconic sites: the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. This tour is the perfect way to see all the major attractions in just one day. Our guide, Yan, was nothing short of amazing. Her knowledge of the history behind each location was impressive and made the experience truly enriching. She was passionate about sharing stories and insights that brought each site to life. The lunch included in the tour was fantastic! Yan recommended several local dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a great way to sample authentic Beijing cuisine. Our driver, Mr. Zhou, was equally impressive. He navigated us through the city in his Tesla, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride between attractions. His careful driving added to the overall experience. From start to finish, this tour provided 5-star service. Yan and Mr. Zhou are invaluable assets to the travel company, and I genuinely hope they receive a well-deserved pay rise. They truly made our day unforgettable! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing.

Three of the most iconic landmarks in Beijing in just one day, it was very exhausting but at the same time totally worth it. Nancy our guide made it possible despite of the long lines due to the summer vacation. She was very friendly and helpful during the whole journey.
