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!
