Amazing Trip with an added History Lesson

5.002 Days was not enough! We wish we worked with this tour team for the whole week. This was such a great tour. There was so much to see and so much to learn. Also, there were so many local rules and procedures to follow that some things would not have been possible without our tour guide. Our tour guide, Summer, was especially knowledgeable and fluent in English. She was also very sweet and detailed. She was also a great photographer knowing all the photo spots and volunteering to take photos and videos for us. Such a sweet friend! We highly recommend. But one caveat, make sure you clarify which vehicle you want (sedan or van).
Lovely, inspirational tour

5.00We enjoyed our tour and felt well-cared for. Our Shanghai driver picked us up at our hotel and took great care to see that we were safely on the bullet train to Beijing. When we arrived in Beijing we were met by our Beijing driver and our delightful guide, Sophia. She was kind, knowledgeable and professional. Actually, meeting her was a highlight of our whole trip. She taught us a lot, and made sure we were taken care of. I recommend this tour but it is important to relax expectations and absorb the people and their special culture and history. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, we could not see The Forbidden City...and yet we filled the time seeing other special things. The Great Wall was breathtaking as was the Summer Palace.

5.00Summer is an excellent tour guide. Her professional knowledge and understanding of the scenic spots are superb, and she can explain everything to you in detail. Summer is also very enthusiastic and lovely; she is just like a friend, making you feel no awkwardness at all. I'm really glad to have met Summer.

5.00Summer was amazing. They were friendly and knew an incredible amount about the hutongs. Their clear and interesting explanations, filled with cool historical stories and local anecdotes, turned our hutong tour into a really engaging experience. We got to see hidden courtyards, learn about traditional Beijing lifestyles, and even tried some local snacks at the best spots. We're so glad we decided on this guided tour rather than wandering around alone. Thanks a lot!

Booking this awesome 2 day Beijing tour made that possible and includes visits to other world heritage sites such as Tian’an Men Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace and more. Our tour guide Linda, was superb! Very knowledgeable and full of energy. Made traveling and access to these sites over the 2 days super easy and convenient for us. Highly recommend this tour! 💯

5.00The 2-day tour of Beijing was hands down the highlight of our China trip. Linda our tour guide, did an amazing job explaining all the history and significance of the monuments/sights. She personalized the tour around what we wanted to do. Linda was super affable, patient and answered all our questions. I can’t say enough positive things about the tour and our tour guide. The tour was well worth the money and I would advise anyone who has a few days in Beijing to select this tour.

5.00I just did the Beijing day. Wonderful! Very lucky with the weather - sunny and cool. The guide, Jenny, was superb. Not one minute wasted and she planned the route so there was minimal waiting time and less crowds. The Forbidden City did not disappoint! Well worth a visit and Jenny's information enriched the experience. Also went to the Summer Palace. Spacious and relaxing. Pretty gardens, lake and hill/mountain to climb. Even on a sunny December Saturday it was atmospheric, especially with lots of local ladies walking around in traditional Chinese dresses. Great for photos! Including a lunch stop the times were 9- 4.30-5pm approx. Ps. Jenny booked taxis for travel, -SLIGHTLY more expensive but prompt, reliable, clean, and free bottled water inside. Worth the extra 10rmb (approx) onto the price. 👍Recommend
