Returning from Vietnam we spent a day in Beijing. I arranged with Roi everything from Italy and we built the tour to do. Roi immediately very attentive and helpful so that we felt comfortable. Very prepared always try to involve you with different questions to fully understand why things are happening. In the Houtonghs district he took us to eat some fantastic steamed dumplings in a restaurant frequented only by Chinese. So what about super recommended Roi and fantastic Beijing.
Best guide in Beijing ☺️

Roy is a fantastic tour guide. We managed the reservation from Tian'anmen for us and was so friendly since the first moment. His English is really good, and it is clear that he knows what he is talking about and he enjoys his work. The visit with Ray had a very close and trusting tone, no boring standard explanations nor anything like that. Also, he was so willing to take photos for us during the entire visiting (although we were not very fond of photos, and he understood perfectly and was so nice all the time). Regarding the tour, it's focused on the history surrounding the Emperors' lives in the palace, and all the political environment which developed in the Forbidden City for centuries... It was really interesting and we discovered many things about the Chinese imperial monarchy. Also, Roy was always happy to answer the questions we had about what he was telling us about. After the tour, he even texted us a list of interesting points around the city, including stores and restaurants. Without a doubt, a highly recommended tour for friends and families who want to learn about the history of such an emblematic place from a friendly and honest point of view.
A more private tour in the heart of Beijing

My most recent tour with Roy. We visited Forbidden City and Tian'anmen Square together with some spanish friends that came to visit to me in China. Instead of taking an audioguide or an inner guide, I bet for what already worked for me. I texted Roy to book this tour and he did so. Once again, a marvelous introduction to ancient and modern Chinese History and culture. Already hyped for our next tour!
