An Amazing Day in Beijing

While we are experienced travelers, we knew when traveling to Beijing the experience would be tremendously improved with the help of a guide. Not only did Ranee do a fabulous job showing us Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, but also found a local restaurant for us to sample Peking Duck and also arranged a last minute tea ceremony that my daughter really enjoyed. She did more than show us the sights, she helped bring the history alive with stories.

Lucia was out guide. She was very personable and we really enjoyed her history stories. She is flexible and very knowledgeable. My wife was not feeling well, but she was very accommodating. I highly recommend her.
We had a fantastic time...

We had a fantastic time with our guide Alice. She picked up at our hotel and brought us in the core of the city. We visited the forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven where she told us many details about the history of the different dinasties, ancient China and current facts about the place. She also brought us for a tea ceremony and local delicious restaurant where we had a lovely lunch which for sure we would not be able to find by ourselves. We give our highest recommendation!
