5.00Jenny was such an amazing tour guide. She was extremely patient and kind. She explained everything everywhere we went, I definitely learned a lot. Not only did she go over the history of China but also the culture. Took pictures of my husband and I, and also gave us tips on how to navigate our way to the Beijing railway station and our next city, Xian. Thank you so much Jenny, you are an amazing lady ☺️👌🏼

Everything was well organized, and I felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire tour. Jenny was always helpful, patient, and happy to answer our questions. Overall, it was an amazing trip and I am very satisfied with the experience. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Jenny as a guide to anyone visiting Beijing.

5.00Great tour! Jenny was a wonderful tour guide, as she did a great job of providing historical context without talking our ears off while deftly navigating us towards the many destinations on the tour. Her energy throughout the day was also really impressive for such a long and thorough tour too! The Forbidden City was even more impressive in person than I imagined, and the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace (super pretty even during the winter) were sleeper hits.
Amazing Full Day Tour Bejing

5.00Amazing, amazing, amazing! Jenny from Han Tang Tour China was knowledgeable, funny and so pleasant to speak to. Communication between ourselves and the tour company was clear and instructions were given in plenty of time. The tour began at Tianamen Square before moving to Forbidden City. After a visit to the silk store and a tea ceremony we had lunch at a delicious restaurant. After lunch we went to Temple of Heaven and to finish off a fantastic day we went to Summer Palace. Jenny made the tour fun and exciting. We felt we had the right amount of time at each location and because of Jenny we had a really memorable day of sightseeing in Beijing!

4.00Really enjoyed this tour to see all the main sights in one day. The tour leader was well informed and friendly. The lunch was hearty and delicious. Loses a star because of the tea ceremony, it was a good experience but we were there for far too long and had to rush the Summer Palace. On the plus side, there was absolutely no pressure to buy at the tea shop. Not the fault of the tour company, but others in the tour group were under the impression the tour would be about 7 hours long, when it is about 9/10 hours due to Beijing traffic. This was frustrating as they were pressuring the tour leader to return early.
