Great tour of Beijing main attractions

Published on May, 2024

The guide (Thomas) was very knowledgeable and keen on answering my questions. The tour was very well organize, I could see all the main highlights of Beijing, and the guide recommended a very good local restaurant, also suggesting the most typical dishes. Highly recommended!

Amazing

I want to give a shoutout to Sally for such an amazing trip! She was an EXCELLENT tour guide that was highly informative and pleasant to be around for the entire excursion. She also gave us amazing recommendations on restaurants to check out and additional sites we should visit. I highly recommend her and the tour as well!

Best tour ever.

Published on Dec, 2019

I have traveled extensively and have never had a better tour guide. Cactus met us on time. She was knowledgeable and pleasant. She went out of her way to explain and show us the sites. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. She knew all the best places for photos. But the best thing about her was her ability to make you feel at home. I can’t say enough about Cactus. She was excellent. If you are ever in China she’s the one to request.
