Beijing historical tour - highly recommended - David was an excellent guide for our 2 day tour. His knowledge to explain the main history behind the Forbidden Palace, Summer Palace and the Temple of Heaven was very impressive. He speaks clearly and was very helpful in answering our questions. The tour of the Great Wall was a highlight with great photos to be made with your travelling partner. We highly recommend David to any other travellers looking for a brief trip to see the main historical sites in and around Beijing.

Fantastic two days tour in Beijing! - We enjoyed this tour so much! We thought the walking in the city day tour would be long and crowded, but it was alright, not that much walking, also had few stops for resting. And it was not crowded, our tour guide really knows the way to avoid the crowds, thumbs up! The tour groups for both days were small, around 5 people only, were very nice people, and had a very good time with them. The tour guides are super nice, too. Learned lots of history and culture about China, also about the local food and nice place to go at night in Beijing. They were always willing to answer questions even though sometimes we asked too much. Thanks again, will recommend this tour to my friends and family, you guys did a great job!

Amazing tour; well worth doing. - An excellent tour and worth every penny. For those that are wanting a comprehensive visit in short period, this is for you. Small group, hotel pick up/drop off, tasty lunches that highlight authentic local cuisine and friendly knowledgeable guides (Susie -day 1, David - day 2)....make all the difference. I had my elderly parents in tow and both Susie and David were considerate in accommodating regular bathroom breaks and their walking pace. Enjoyed the two days immensely and thoroughly recommend.

David is a reliable guide! - Well conceived, well guided! Prior to departure the operator contaced us requesting the change of date for the first part of the tour (Forbbiden city) due to, as they said, 'insufficient number of travelers'. We refused! The operator than told us that in order to keep the original departure date we need to accept the private guide for extra cost of 100 $. We didn't like it, but accepted. Luckily, our private tour guide David was a pure reward: knowledgable, punctual, helpful and very experienced. We felt informed, respected and safe with him. Private tour is more expensive, but provides unreplacable personal touch. Revommend!

For the price, we were expecting more. - We were hoping to spend more time at the forbidden city to see the Gallery of Clocks but didn't spend enough time there. The guide was OK, but could have spent more time describing things, and giving historical context. The bus was ok,but a bit uncomfortable.
