  Thank you, Jay, for your wonderful tour guide service! The itinerary of visiting the Temple of Heaven, the Lama temple, and the Summer Palace was simply amazing! Jay is not only knowledgeable but also gives lively and interesting explanations. He is also very considerate. Throughout the journey, he was always smiling, and the pace of the tour was just right - neither rushed nor exhausting, but full of rewards. Jay's professionalism and warmth made this trip to Beijing from "checking off the list" to "deep experience". I highly recommend it to all those who want to experience the old Beijing culture. Next time, I will definitely choose Jay to lead the tour!

• Most Amazing Tour with an Amazing Tour Guide “Jay”

  I had the absolute pleasure of touring with Jay, and he was beyond amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, and the Summer Palace. His explanations were detailed, engaging, and easy to understand. He spoke very clear English and made everything accessible and interesting. Jay is also extremely friendly and thoughtful. At the Summer Palace, he noticed how cold it was and kindly allowed us to stop for hot tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and even a bite to eat. That level of care and consideration made the experience even more enjoyable. The tour was well organized and thorough. My only wish is that we could have tried the bikes on the lake at the Summer Palace. Even though the tour was quite full, adding an extra 30 minutes to incorporate bike riding would make it even more special. Beyond the sights, this tour brought together such an amazing group of people. I met Alexandra from the Philippines, Ariana from Argentina, two young men from Amsterdam, and a lovely couple from Italy. It was a wonderful cultural experience that connected people from all over the world. I am so thankful for this experience. I would rate Jay a perfect 10 — actually, beyond a 10! Highly, highly recommended! Thanks Jay! Sonia

  My girlfriend & I had an amazing experience with this tour. Jay, the tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly and spoke perfect english. The tour was at a very good pace, at which he was very flexible to adjust if we wished. He allowed every opportunity to pause and take photos, and assisted us with photos. The tour itself is really well planned, such smooth transitioning between locations. Truly an amazing experience we will not forget. Thank you Jay we highly reccomend you and this tour! He even went the extra mile to ensure we got back to our hotel safely and assisted with helping us arrange a taxi, truly above and beyond.

  Our trip to Beijing was unforgettable, and a huge reason for that was our guide, Jay. From the very beginning, it was clear that he was not just someone explaining sights, but a professional who truly cared about the experience of the travelers. His guidance throughout the entire journey was outstanding, thoughtful, and consistently impressive. At Temple of Heaven, Jay didn’t simply list historical facts. He explained the deeper meaning behind the architecture, the symbolism of the circular and square designs, and how emperors once used this sacred space to pray for good harvests. Thanks to his clear explanations, the site felt alive rather than like just another historic park. He also timed our visit well, allowing us to enjoy the calm atmosphere and observe local residents exercising and playing traditional music, which made the experience even more authentic. When we visited Lama Temple, Jay showed great cultural sensitivity and respect. He explained Buddhist customs in an easy-to-understand way, helped us understand how to behave properly inside the temple, and shared interesting stories about Tibetan Buddhism and the significance of the massive Maitreya Buddha statue. Because of him, the visit felt meaningful and respectful rather than rushed or superficial. At Summer Palace, Jay’s guidance truly stood out. The palace grounds are vast, but he led us through the most important areas efficiently while still giving us time to enjoy the scenery. His explanations about the imperial family, the symbolism behind Kunming Lake and the Long Corridor, and the historical background of the palace helped us understand why this place is so special. Without his guidance, it would have been easy to miss many important details. What made Jay exceptional was not only his deep knowledge, but also his attitude. He was patient, friendly, and always attentive to our needs. He adjusted the pace based on our energy level, answered every question sincerely, and even gave us helpful tips about local food and daily life in Beijing. Communication was smooth, and he made everyone feel comfortable and well taken care of. Overall, Jay was the best guide we could have asked for. He transformed famous landmarks into meaningful experiences and made our time in Beijing truly memorable. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone visiting Beijing who wants more than just sightseeing someone who wants real understanding, smooth guidance, and a genuinely great travel experience.

  

• The coolest guide

  The weather let us down, but the guide didn't! Our excursion was conducted by Jan. The coolest guide I've ever met, very fascinating and clearly telling in English (this is important because English is not my native language), he shared unusual facts from the history of China. After visiting the Temple of Heaven, there was a full lunch in the best restaurant where they cook Pekinjing duck, and then we went to the nearby Lama Temple. Our last stop was the Summer Palace. I haven't seen any other excursion that would include a visit to the coast like that! Jan answered all our questions and helped us learn more about Chinese culture.

  We had an absolutely wonderful day in Beijing thanks to our amazing guide! The itinerary was perfectly planned: we started with a visit to the Temple of Heaven, then enjoyed tasting the famous Peking duck, followed by the Lama Temple, and finished the day with a relaxing walk through the Imperial Summer Palace. Our guide Yan was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting historical facts and cultural insights, which made every place come alive. Everything was well organized, informative, and enjoyable, and the atmosphere throughout the day was friendly and relaxed. Thank Yan for such a memorable experience — we truly learned a lot and enjoyed every moment of this tour. Highly recommended!

  Our guide Yan was very knowledgeable and gave us a great educational and entertaining insight into the history of China. Her English was very good and the whole tour was outstanding. She moved through exhibits and sights with appropriate pace and always welcomed our questions. Transportation was awesome and Peking Duck lunch was great. All possible allergies well addressed beforehand. We highly recommend this tour to all people who travel solo, with friends, or to families with children!
