5.00We had an incredible guided tour today that took us to some of Beijing's most iconic sites: the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. This tour is the perfect way to see all the major attractions in just one day. Our guide, Yan, was nothing short of amazing. Her knowledge of the history behind each location was impressive and made the experience truly enriching. She was passionate about sharing stories and insights that brought each site to life. The lunch included in the tour was fantastic! Yan recommended several local dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a great way to sample authentic Beijing cuisine. Our driver, Mr. Zhou, was equally impressive. He navigated us through the city in his Tesla, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride between attractions. His careful driving added to the overall experience. From start to finish, this tour provided 5-star service. Yan and Mr. Zhou are invaluable assets to the travel company, and I genuinely hope they receive a well-deserved pay rise. They truly made our day unforgettable! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing.

5.00Three of the most iconic landmarks in Beijing in just one day, it was very exhausting but at the same time totally worth it. Nancy our guide made it possible despite of the long lines due to the summer vacation. She was very friendly and helpful during the whole journey.

5.00What a great tour experience and way to maximize a short stay in Beijing! Angela met us at our hotel and led us on a one day tour of Beijing highlights - Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and Summer Palace. Angela was awesome, very knowledgeable on the sites and we learned so much history.Being able to skip the lines made the day easy and the pace was perfect, never felt rushed even though we got to visit 4 key places. We even stopped for a lunch and got to sample several local dishes. Highly recommend Angela and this tour company for a well organized, easy way to maximize a tour of Beijing highlights in one day.
