5.00Jenny was outstanding. Lightning fast responses to my queries and she was able to obtain tickets to the Forbidden city on a date when no one else could (our desired dates coincided with labor day in China). Highly recommended for their professionalism and a great experience.
Would recommend but book in advance

5.00Cindy was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. She organised the taxis and entrance tickets which meant we didn’t have to worry about that. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants to explore China and learn more about its history.
BEIJING LAYOVER FOR 8 HOURS

5.00I absolutely loved this tour. I think i definitely got the best deal for the money i paid because i got to do all of the touristy things as well as some very fun and interesting cultural experiences that I would not have thought of for a layover in China. Time was used very well with a great balance between spending time in the sites and moving from the airport and back. I wish i had a little more time to explore, but it was simply because time was limited but still worth it. There is absolutely no way i could have seen as much as i did had i designed a trip on my own. Special note of appreciation to the tour guide Jenny who did an excellent job keeping the tour well informed and on track. She was also very organized, professional, personable and helpful. I would highly recommend this tour company and their tailored layover tours in particular Thank you so much for a truly exceptional layover tour
