  I wanted to experience Beijing shopping without getting overwhelmed so I booked this tour. I got a fantastic Tea Ceremony experience and the chance to head right to the best and most famous shop in the Pearl Market, finished off with a wonderful and authentic lunch featuring Peking Duck. My guide took excellent care of me. Wonderful morning.

  Had a great time exploring the markets in Beijing. Very interesting to see local goods and unique items we never knew about. Our tour guide, Lucy, was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight, not just about the items at the markets, but about Beijing and Chinese culture as well. Learned a lot! By the end of the day, we felt like we made a great friend. Would definitely recommend

  This was great fun! Our guide, Lisa, was exceptional, and taught us a lot about the haggling process as she got us some great deals, but also let us know when a price was already good, and we could just go ahead and pay it. She paid attention to our stated interests, and did not pressure us in the least to go particular places or make particular purchases. She also took into consideration my walking limitations. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to shop for souvenirs, art, odds and ends... anything!

  Lily took us on this tour and it is with her expertise and guidance that it was a magnificent day. The Beijing markets have something for everyone. We began with the Flea Market. We highly recommend this area as a place to buy original art work. We bought a piece that is about 2 feet by 4 feet on rice paper. The cost was about 35. It is gorgeous.

  The shopping center is set up on floors with varying quality. If you are looking to buy pearls, be sure to go to the fourth floor. There is a shop there where state official have purchased their peals. Their photos are all over the walls, so you cannot miss it. This is also a great place for souvenirs. We had tea in the mall and learned about all the different kinds of teas, the difference in their taste and fermenting options.

  Again, Lily was key to making this a great day. She has a gentle personality, exquisite English with a lovely lilting voice that you can listen to all day.
