The best decision we made in Beijing was joining Roy’s tour of the Temple of Heaven. Earlier that morning, we had visited the Forbidden City with another guide and honestly, it was quite disappointing. But Roy completely changed the game! His English is excellent, and he knows so much—not only about the site we were visiting, but also about Beijing and China in general. The two hours went by in a flash! He shared so many interesting stories and facts that I felt I could have listened to him talk for hours. Highly recommend—if you can, do all your tours with Roy!

Roy was an amazing tour guide! He's that good that we already booked another tour with him tomorrow. Highly recommend you get him as a guide if you can. He's fun, friendly and makes the tour very interactive, I can't believe how much I learnt in 2 hours. Thanks again for a wonderful tour!

Visiting China with an authentic chinese guide is a real historical and cultural voyage that you cannot miss. I booked this walking tour with Roy that explained and introduced us not only about the history of the spot but also the meaning of each color, symbol and shape means in chinese ancient culture. He is an amazing guide (prepared, kind and with a real fluent english) and I really recommend to book with him.

The Temple of Heaven tour was the second tour that I did with Roy, the first being the Summer Palace Walking Tour and the third being the Hutong Walking Tour. Even though I've been to these places, I learnt so much from Roy's tours. The 8 am start for this walking tour was perfect as we avoided the large crowds of other tourists. Roy is exceptionally knowledgeable and shared all the little details of the Temple of Heaven that I would've missed if I had gone alone. You won't regret booking this tour with Roy~

Temple of Heaven was my first visit in Beijing and my introduction to Roy. Roy is an excellent guide, who not only does explain the place you are at, but also the History behind it and Chinese culture overall. He makes tours interactive by asking questions to let you participate. Since this tour, I have done 2 more, and he is always my first choice if he is available.

The Temple of Heaven in Beijing with Roy was one of the best experiences of my stay in Beijing. He was able to combine the lightness and depth of Chinese spirituality in a few but effective words. His English is very good and he is a serious and very capable professional. I highly recommend this tour.

Had a great tour with our guide Barry. Really enjoyed hiking up the Wall to the next hill. The lunch was great too, so was the Summer Palace!
