Planning a trip to Beijing can be a daunting task, especially since pre-booking tickets for major attractions is now mandatory—last-minute walk-ins are often not allowed, and long on-site queues can eat into your precious travel time.

5.00Lucia is an experience and caring guide. She has brought us to newly opened segment of the temple. She was able to spot good location for photo takings and even assist to remove crowds from the photos editing.
Zhen Lihui is the best driver!

5.00Zhen Lihui is the most accommodating, friendly, and patient driver we ever had the pleasure of riding with. Not only did he meet us promptly and got us to our destinations, he gave free snacks such as honey tangerines and green onion biscuits for free. There was also free waters. He was friendly and smiled throughout the entire trip, and even if there was a language barrier, we could see his sincerity and generosity. We cannot recommend him enough!!
Excellent initiative and insightful guidance

5.00It went all well and I recommend! 👍🏻 Tickets were made available in advance and in digital format, without the need for additional actions on our part. Access to the temple was done normally, without any theme.
Hear the stories of a cultural icon

5.00The Temple of Heaven is an important cultural location in Beijing but it is the stories of Emperors who built and lived in it that bring it alive. My guide Andy was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history of the Temple and the beautiful park that surrounds it.
