5.00Cathy was an absolute delight to have as a tour guide. We had a fabulous day. Her knowledge of Beijing is amazing, that combined with her bubbly personality and humour, time just flew by. We had a great time and take back with us beautiful memories of this wonderful city. Really recommend seeing the Lama temple in the early hours, no queues and a uniquely peaceful experience. Highly recommended!

5.00Felix was an awesome tour guide! Very knowledgeable about the sites and thoughtful in planning the day so I had the best experience possible. We went to the Temple of Heaven first to avoid the worst of the crowds at the Lama Temple which I very much appreciated. He was great at taking the best photos and knew the best spots that were not only the least crowded but captured the best angle of the sun. Highly recommend spending a half day (or a full day if you can) with Felix!
Nice trip in Beijing
