A Happy Man! - My two day tour was quite AMAZING! My guide, Alice, arrived both days at my hotel promptly on-time, was so friendly and professional. She arranged extra stops to the Olympic Stadium, post office and supermarket. This was money so well spent. I saw everything I was supposed to see and it was all done with a big smile!
Thank you so much Alice! You did a FANTASTIC job! I'm flying back to NYC a happy man!

Excellent value for money - personalized tour - Demi is a very attentive and customer oriented tour guide. She contacted me immediately after I made the booking, organizing the trip and accommodating my availability. She adapted our daily schedule to traffic and crowds at activities, so we could make the most of our day and see as much as possible, without hassle. Very informative and answered all our questions, providing much knowledge with a very good command of the English language. I can really recommend her tours and would be happy to do another visit on a future trip with her again.

Two days tour in Beijing with an excellent guide! - We are currently spending 5 days in Beijing and loving it! As experienced travellers, we thought we could get by by ourselves, but after reading the reviews and discussing with Demi, who was flexible and attentive, we decided to spend with her tow days:
1. Forbidden city, Tiananmen Square, Hutongs and a city walk
2. Great wall and sumner palace.
Demi has excellent English, has a lot of knowledge in the history of China, and gave us lots of insights on today’s daily life in China. Also tips on dining and restaurants. She is fun and easy to be with - very important if you spend so many hours together Highly recommended!!

Half day private Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven - We did the Beijing half day tour of Forbidden city and Temple of Heaven.
Demi’s knowledge and demeanour were outstanding.
She is very friendly and easy going which helps digest the vast amount of history surrounding this great city.
She also managed to get us a great lunch at a local restaurant with local prices.
An unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

Great Day at Great Wall - The visit to the Great Wall with Demi fulfilled all my expectations. She made this bucket list experience a memorable, informative, and fun day. At the Great Wall, she was attentive to my pace and alert to the challenges of navigating the steep and/or narrow steps and towers. She was eager to point out favored vistas and take phone pictures of me as often as I wanted. Demi was very knowledgeable and shared her information and insights freely. As the day evolved, the narrations changed to conversations that were very engaging. This continued throughout the day as we moved on to the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was definitely more vast than I had anticipated. There was a lot of walking (bring plenty of water if it's a hot day) but Demi adjusted the pace so that it was doable and enjoyable. I found Demi to be funny, smart, and responsible. I felt extremely comfortable and safe with our car and driver for the trip to Mutianyu and around Beijing traffic. It was another aspect that contributed to a terrific day. Demi provided me with a fun, memorable day. I highly recommend her and this tour.

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.
