5.00Sherry did a great job of showing me the 797 Art Zone and fulfilling my requests. I was disappointed in the quality of the art galleries in the zone which was not her responsibility. The driver Zhai Rui was also very accommodating.

5.00Sherry was a great guide and helpful in navigating the very large 798 art neighborhood of Beijing. We met at the hotel and took the Metro out. It was a pleasant experience.
Great Way of Navigating 798!

5.00This tour is a really useful way of navigating the huge and impressive 798. Linda was a well prepared, friendly, knowledgeable guide who led us through the most interesting galleries in the zone. 798 itself is well worth a full day for those interested in art. Most galleries are free to visit, while some charge a 5-10 RMB entrance fee.
