5.00It was amazing visiting the most important Beijing highlights with Mary. My parents and I had a great time discovering the unbelievable Chinese heritage from the Forbidden city to the Lama temple and Temple of heaven and not to mention Tiananmen Square. Mary provided us with details on the history and evolution of the Chinese civilisation which is so impressive. She was great at answering all our questions and provided a wealth of details. Additionally many thanks to our driver how helped us so much and ensured we managed to visit all places. I truly recommend Mary she is an amazing guide and also photographer who helped us take amazing pictures through the day. Many thanks for making our day!

5.00We had such a wonderful day with Mary! She picked us up right from our hotel with a private driver, so everything was super easy. Mary is full of knowledge and such fun to be around. It was a cool, rainy day, and she even suggested a coffee stop before visiting the Temple of Heaven — perfect idea! We really enjoyed exploring these amazing sites with her.
