5.00Joined this tour super last minute (an hour before starting!) and I was warmly welcomed by the guides. Snow was my guide and not only was she extremely knowledgeable about the political, cultural and historical significance of the sites, she was organised with handling my last minute entry and all the other tour guests and highly enthusiastic, keeping us entertained with streams of information throughout the tour. She was very friendly and an amazing introduction to Beijing. Highly recommend the tour and especially with Snow as your guide!
Excellent tour! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
