Superb effort from the guide - Very interesting tour, especially the pandas and palace. The guide Mary was superb, really took her time to explain everything carefully. As we are a deaf couple, we required additional assistance with translation and Mary did a fantastic job with this. We are very satisfied with the tour and tour guide.

Great moment in BEIJING - During a stopover in Beijing, I had the chance to visit the Llama Temple, the Panda Garden and the Summer Palace. A day with a smile and a good mood, with Jenni. A huge thank you for this unforgettable day, rich in discoveries about Beijing, but above all rich in heart. Jenni has been of rare kindness, with little care from start to finish.
