Unforgettable Experience - What an experience! Enjoyed our day with Demi. She has a wealth of knowledge and full of information. We rearranged our itinerary order. This to avoid the crowds, she’s knows the ins and outs to ensure we are not waiting too long in queues and avoiding the crowds. It is still Summer Vacation in China so it was quite busy. At all 3 we visited. She is very friendly and as soon as we hopped into our comfortable vehicle, she sets the mood for the entire experience ahead of us. Reccomend this tour! You won’t be disappointed.

Look No Further for a great tour in Beijing! - We had a wonderful day with Demi, she was a pure delight! Despite booking at very short notice, she went out of her way to organise everything and secure our tickets. She was so knowledgeable about the Forbidden City, Tianenmen Square and The Great Wall, everything we asked was answered and leaves us wanting to learn more. If you are looking for a fabulous tour and guide in Beijing, stop and book this tour now. I couldn’t recommend it more highly:) Thanks for a great day out Demi!

Book Demi! We couldn’t have done this as effortless as we experienced without her. Private tour guide, worth the money! - Book Demi! Only of course if you desire to have the most amazing, worry free, worth every penny kind of experience. Keep reading. There is no reason to take the burden of making plans to see the sites when you have someone like Demi to hire as your private tour guide. I was visiting Beijing from the US to celebrate my birthday and I know I couldn’t do everything but wanted to make sure I did the top must see attractions. I did a search on TripAdvisor and read many reviews for private tours to the Great Wall and Forbidden City. I chose to go with Demi due to here past guest reviews and all 5 star ratings. I booked for a next day tour, Demi called me within the hour to confirm, we chatted a bit and set a time to meet up in the morning. The next morning she met me in my hotel lobby and off we went to the Great Wall! Booking Demi took the guess work out of transportation to and from, best times to go to beat the crowds, and maximized the time we had by being efficient and knowledgeable. Not only were we able to see the 2 major places on my list she also had time to take us to Taninaman Square! Demi is knows backstories and the history to help you understand deeper about where you are and what took place at what time. I could write forever about our lovely guide, she was truly a pleasure to spend the day with! Thank you Demi for being a wonderful part of my special birthday celebration! For an effortless experience visiting the must see’s in Beijing, book her! You’ll be so glad you did, I promise.

Demi is the guide! - Fantastic tour. If you are going to hire a guide, you want information about the guide, not so much the tour. Our guide was beyond fantastic. I booked this tour about 18 months ago. Our guide, Demi, contacted me through whats app shortly after I booked it. She asked what we wanted to see. First time in Beijing for us so I asked for recommendations. She did that and then gave a list of hotels for us to stay at. We traveled by cruise ship to Tianjin by Cruise. Demi picked us up, took us to the Great Wall. Along the way was a great history lesson. We arrived and spent time at the wall. Demi booked a 4:30 show for the Chinese acrobats. The Great Wall had some great competition here. Super show. We spent the evening at a hotel and had an issue with our visa. Demi called the clerk and worked things out. The next day we started at 8 am. Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and Heavenly Temple. The guide makes all of the difference. This is the guide you want!
