5.00We had a beautiful day with Yan as our guide. Really enjoyed her stories and her ferm handling through sometimes the heavy crowd. We learned a lot about the history of China as well as from the different empires steering the country. Yan is great, has lived for years abroad and so her English is perfect. Book the tour and make sure you get her as the tour guide, success included.
Beautiful experience

5.00The tour was very nice. It was a long day but filled with lots of interesting sights and details. The sights were spectacular and being able to see so much in one day is great. Our guide Jay was fantastic. He made sure everyone was well taken care of throughout the day. He went above and beyond to accommodate folks before, during and after the tour ended. I would not hesitate to book a tour with him again.
A must try tour if you’re in Beijing! 5 stars for Yan!!! 🥇

5.00My family and I had a wonderful time during this tour. Yan and team made sure everyone was safe, well hydrated, informed and complete. She was very educational and knowledgeable about the destinations and even though we had a lot of walking she maintained her lively and positive energy.

5.00We really enjoyed our Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace tour with Yan and her understudy. They were both so kind and attentive, especially to my parents who are seniors. They made sure my parents were comfortable the whole time and never rushed us, even when the rest of the group moved ahead. Yan and her team were very knowledgeable about the history of each site and shared lots of interesting stories and hidden gems that made the experience even more special. It was a wonderful and memorable day for our family!
Perfect Day in Beijing — Thanks to Mr. Lee!
