5.00We have lived in Shanghai for nearly four years and hired Sunflower for our trips and our friends trips to Beijing. The last trip we hired Sunflower was to take our friends to the Great Wall for a surprise wedding proposal. Taylor, our daughter’s friend , looked amazing with the background of the Great Wall. Sunflower nailed it with the most beautiful pictures. She’s taken us to the most beautiful spots on the Great Wall. My wife and I spent a week in Beijing and visited People’s Square, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple., and other historic locations. We learned so much about the history of early China and the Ming Dynasty. Sunflower is unbelievable in her knowledge of the history of China.

5.00Sunflower and her tours were the highlight of our trip! She was thorough, informative, patient, and kind! She also took lots of great pictures for us. I had one framed for my mom of us on the Great Wall and it makes me so happy every time I see it hanging up in her house. We had an amazing time and can't say enough great things about Sunflower and her tours.
A wonderful trip thru Forbidden City, The Great Wall & Tiananmen Square.

5.00Had the most amazing day with Lina as my tour guide. Lina and the driver picked me up from my hotel in the morning for our full day tour. The car was beautiful and clean, with many bottles of fresh water for me for the day. The driver was very friendly. Lina spoke english very well and was very engaging and thorough with her history of Beijing. First stop the Great Wall, we walked and talked. It was so amazing to be on such a great treasure, and Lina knew the history and very interesting information. We had lunch at the Great Wall and continued on to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Both were also amazing places to visit with Lina, she was so full of information. I was very glad to have toured with Sunflower Tours and to have Lina as my guide. She was very friendly and great company for my day out. I would not hesitate in recommending Sunflower Tours and the tour that I experienced.

5.00My friend and I spent an incredible day with Lina touring the sights of Beijing. This was our second tour with Sunflower Tours, and both were truly perfect days. Lina is a wealth of interesting information, and she delivered it in a fun way as we explored the city. We also had a delicious Chinese lunch that I am still dreaming about. The weather was mild and sunny, which enhanced the experience walking on The Wall. The driver was conscientious and delivered us safely. I will be recommending Sunflower Tours to all of my colleagues.
Best tour!!
