    We had an amazing experience! She took us around the hutong and showed us the drum tower and the lama temple. Lots of historical context, knew the fun spots to visit, and indulged our interests on the trip.

  • All the highlights in one day!

    Nina our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personal. It rained during our tour, I think Nina was sadder about it than us.

    We went to some unusual places for Beijing—798 Art Zone, Lama and Fayuan Temples, and walking to the top of Jingshan Park… Viator allowed us to specify where we wanted to go—a self designed tour which was great. If you want to see things off the beaten path they can do it. The private guide we had allowed us to change timing and location as we wanted. These were places that locals go and with fewer tourists.

  • Excellent Trip

    We visited the pandas in the zoo first, as Bruce knew that was the best time to see them active, then on to the summer palace which was beautiful. A quick stop for tea tasting (with no hard sell) then lunch. We then visited the Lama temple, Bruce was an excellent guide and made the day more enjoyable.

  • Great 1 day tour

    We had a great time with Coralin on our tour of Beijing! We were able to pick and itinerary of sights, and she made the roadmap for the most efficient route. We told her early on that we did not want to visit souvenir shops, so we were able to avoid that. Also, she was flexible when we said we did not want to go to the touristy restaurants, or restaurants with "package deals" for tourists. Instead, we had a fantastic lunch at a great place for a great price. Coralin provided us with loads of information about the history of China, along with great local tips. For the price, you can't beat this deal. Would highly recommend!

    Not really customized to what one wanted. They bring you to places you don't want in order to buy stuff . With hidden charges

    Coralin (pictured with my wife's parents) was awesome! She contacted me the night before the tour to ask what we wanted to see, and promptly met us at our hotel in the morning. She made sure my wife's parents were taken care of the entire day. She was very informative, and did the tour in both Chinese for my wife's parents and English for us! It was a great day.

    Michael Ren was our english speaking guide and he was excellent, full of useful facts and figures he helped build our own custom tour. We went to the Lama Temple Bei hei gardens, panda gardens and the hutongs. Beijing is great but we speak no chinese so a guide was the best way to go
