what a fantastic 3 days we had with our amazing guide Rita from Lilys tours in Beijing - it was everything and more than we expected. Rita was enormously knowledgeable, charming, great fun and made our whistlestop tour of Beijing so interesting and meaningful - we learnt so much. Our driver Mr Li was so helpful and was always there to pick us up in the most convenient locations making the travelling easy and comfortable. They were punctual, helpful, and very well organised. I couldn't recommend Rita enough..

The trip : 4.5/5 . The itinerary itself was sufficient to roughly see all the main tourist spots in beijing. The pace was just nice for our group which had a toddler and 2 elderly seniors. the days starts at around 830am and ends at 5pm, we were provided with 1 dinner and 3 lunches. Food esp the peking duck was delicious. Was a bit sad as did not manage to do the hutong tour, did the acrobatic show instead of the kungfu show and did not go down to tiananmen square (due to the massive summer holidays crowd) The guide, Jeffery : 5/5. knowledgeable, witty and very good with little kids. The driver, Gary : 5/5. Kind, careful driver and great with little kids. Car was clean and spacious. Picked us up at the locations of each attraction. The weather : the predicted weather was wildly not accurate. It was hot af. Needs loads of sun block. All in all a wonderful experience and happy that we made this trip.

This is a great tour. I highly recommend it. Lily offered to pick us up at the airport on the first day and send us off to the airport at the end our stay in Beijing. I was travelling with the grandparents and children and we were well taken care of. We were able to catch all the major sights in Beijing. Lily was very knowledgeable. Transport by coach was comfortable. The food was great. We had a great time.
