Jack was terrific. He was knowledgable, flexible and super accommodating. He helped us craft a very unique itinerary and was a pleasure to be with. This was our first experience with a professional tour guide and it was definitely worth it!

Our first China trip - Beijing - 2 adults and 2 elderly. We requested for good english speaking guide, good knowledge of the historical sites. Miko explains well and provide us the detail information of the historical places we visited, he is humorous as well. We have fun chatting and Miko answered all our questions. Miko advise and recommended us the right restaurants for local foods and brief us on things we have to take note; during the trip. The 4 days trip Miko ensures all of 4 of us feel comfortable with the schedule and eat well :) The driver is also very accomodative to our timing as we have elderly travel along. We really like the detail information and explanation by Miko and he gave ideal suggestions to us to make our trip great. Nice experience. Miko is recommended if you need a local Beijing guide who can speak english. With Miko as our tour guide, every plan is so convenient. That he really takes extra mile to help out with our request. I am looking forward to my next trip back again.

Two mums and their 5 children between 13 and 9 have traveled to Beijing for the first time(spent 5 4 days there). We had a fantastic experience with Lucy, wo was not only always kind and patient but also helpful in every respect and, of course, full of knowledge! She had an answer to every question no matter whether it concerned ancient history or modern times, she adapted to every mood and change and took us to really cool and local restaurants. Everything was perfectly organised, very reliable , can HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!

Great overview of Beijing and the Great Wall. Our guide Coco was absolutely fantastic and adapted the visits to our needs (3 generations traveling, esp. counting a toddler!). The tour was informative with great overview of the key touristic sites, but also lots of insights on the culture & life in Beijing and China overall. And at last but not least, the guide always brought us to great restaurants with amazing food. Highly recommended!
