This is such informative trip. We were very lucky to have an experienced guide called Miss Maggie. She had such detailed knowledge from the start to the end of our trip. Would thoroughly recommend.

The tour was great from start to finish. Sunflower Li picked us up from the airport and from there we started the adventure. Starting with Palace, then the Tianmen Square and finishing with the Temple of Heaven, excellent tour.

My tour was absolutely fabulous. Mr. Robert was a very accommodating tour guide and provided me with a robust tour of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden city. He was engaging, fun, and really helped me to understand the historical significance of the beautiful items we saw. I am so thankful I went on this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone that has three hours to spare. Thank you Mr. Robert!

Our small group tour ending up being just my husband and me. Sunflower met us at our hotel and took us on a grand tour of Beijing Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Her wonderful personality and her depth of knowledge made for a superb outing. She took such good care of us, adapting to our every need. She even became our advocate in procuring the optimum transportation to get us from our hotel to the cruise port.
