5.00Our guide Bruce was outstanding, we chose English speaking guide who spoke fluent English. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable? With dates and the history. You will not be disappointed with this tour as it has been the best tour my husband and I have been on. It’s for the young and the elderly easy 8hours. Thanks again for such a great day. Oh and lunch was great too. Thank you. Tanya and Keith worth six stars for sure

5.00My tour of the Beijing classics was absolutely fantastic thanks to the guide, Mary. Despite the rain throughout the day, Mary's enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the history made the experience worthwhile. She didn't let the wet weather slow us down, and expertly guided us through the Summer Palace, Forbidden city and Temple of Heaven, sharing fascinating stories at every turn. I highly recommend Mary for an unforgettable day exploring Beijing's historic landmarks.
Happy days

5.00My husband and I have been positively surprised with the tour we decided to hire at the last minute! As our tour guide, Mary was tireless and very knowledgeable in explaining and showing us in detail each point of interest in the four places we were confortably taken to visit: Tian'anmen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven, with a nice stop at a tea shop, where we were taught about the different properties of chineses tea, and a Pearl marketing, same places where we had a nice buffet lunch! All in all, it was an unforgetable experience in Beijing!
