5.00We had an excellent family experience in Beijing with Meitu Travel. From the very beginning, communication with the tour coordinator was smooth, clear, and very professional. The one-day private tour was perfectly organized and allowed us to visit Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace in a comfortable and stress-free way. Our guide "Oscar" was very professional, knowledgeable, and kind, providing clear explanations and always adapting to our family’s pace. The driver was also excellent, punctual, and ensured a safe and comfortable journey throughout the day. Everything ran flawlessly, and the level of organization and personal attention really made the difference. We felt well taken care of at all times. We highly recommend this tour and Meitu Travel to anyone visiting Beijing, especially families looking for a reliable and high-quality local tour operator.
Great tour!

5.00Today I chose a private one-day city tour, which was absolutely wonderful. Accompanied by our professional guide Lily, I spent an incredibly delightful day and felt fully satisfied. Having traveled to 32 countries, Lily stands out as the most energetic and exceptional guide I have encountered across numerous nations. She possesses extensive knowledge of history and culture, demonstrates a thorough command of Chinese history with unique and insightful perspectives, and boasts rich professional experience from years in the tourism industry. From being picked up at my hotel in the morning until the end of the tour, she remained energetic and cheerful throughout, making my solo travel experience incredibly warm and reassuring. I enjoyed authentic Peking duck, and the duck frame soup was particularly delicious. Driver Mr. Zhang was also very amiable, his driving was smooth and steady, offering me a comfortable and secure ride. I wholeheartedly recommend this private one-day tour package to everyone, and strongly suggest requesting Lily as your guide—you will surely be pleasantly surprised beyond your expectations.
