    Simply perfect ! We had 20-22 hours layover in Beijing on the way there and back from Sydney to Vienna. Jenna and Catherine are the most professional and correct organizers. They putted together perfect 1 day trips for the 6 of us. Everything went down to the point exactly. Both the driver and guide were perfect. Always on time, flexible, considered out wishes regarding what to see, where to go, what to eat. Nico was fun , easy going and most important, he shared China’s history and culture on an amazing way with us. I can not say more then if you are looking for a tour around Beijing, choose them!
