• Hot, crowded and terrible guide

  It is very crowded and hot. Be sure to bring water as it is not provided. The guide rushed through the tour and did not wait for anyone. People got lost from the group many times. They wanted to take pictures and she would not wait for them even when they politely asked. We could not understand what she was saying. For lunch we needed to walk through a store that sells pearls. It was a buffet lunch of poor quality. We left after lunch and did not finish the tour.

• Perfect way to see Beijing highlights

  The tour agency was very communicative as there was an unusual wind storm the original date of our tour, and accommodated a change in schedule so we could enjoy the city sites. Marry, our tour guide, was very informative and energetic, and did a good job wrangling our group despite the overly crowded sites. She gave good info and history on all of the historical areas, as well as helped with pointers for shopping and restaurants on other days. Be prepared for the crowds and give yourself and tour guide some grace as it can be hectic at times, but that is Beijing in general. The Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven are beautiful and take you back to another time in Chinese history, while Tiananmen Sqaure is a sobering reminder of the not so distant past. It is A LOT of walking, so be prepared for that and, if possible, ask for Marry as she is a fantastic and kind tour guide who wants all of her guests to have a great time. Recommended for those wanting to see the highlights of Beijing!

  Amazing tour! The guide Jenny is extremely knowledgeable and always giving very interesting insight on the local culture. On the logistic side the tour was managed by Jenny effortlessly, without unnecessary waiting and queues at the sites. Very nice stop at the pearl shop were there was the possibility to get to know the local business better, as well as the tea ceremony. Overall very nice experience and highly recommended. Shoutout to Jenny for her superlative performance also on the tour the day after!

  I learned so much! To be honest, these places were very massive with loads of history but my tour guide Jenny explained everything so effortlessly. I felt like I had a great understanding of the rich Chinese culture in history behind these landmarks. Selfishly, I also loved how many photos she took of me and how amazing they were. I highly recommend this tour and I highly recommend Jennie as your tour guide.

  The tour was perfectly organized, Lisa (the guide) was very attentive, friendly and polite. She speaks perfect English and provided us with many interesting details about sites and China history. It was very convenient that the tour started early in the morning, as we managed to see the sites before they became overcrowded. Lisa called me the previous day in order to make sure that we agree on meeting time and place (my hotel) amd was right on time to pick me up. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in Beijing/China history and in having professional guide beside.
