Great tour, guide (Miko) was the highlight - This was a great tour to get acclimated to the city and cover a large area in a 4-5 hours. Miko was our guide and he was excellent in all aspects. Miko provided excellent insight and commentary into all aspects of Beijing life and the sites. He also did a good job of keeping the flow of the tour going and updating us where our next stop would be and how long it would take to get there. Would do again.

Wonderful experience with Anson - Anson was great and was very patient with my two kids. We made to all the designated spots despite the bad traffic caused by a big concert that night. We took a lot of great photos and kids also had a great time. Wonderful tour and highly recommended.

Amazing Beijing Night Tour - Solo traveler: I had an amazing time during this private tour. It was my first evening in Beijing and this was a great tour to get an intro to Beijing and walk around a lot of the free/bigger attractions. Highlights of this tour include private driver, Hutong stop, SHICHAHAI, Beijing Olympic Park(water/ice cube & birds nest) and the national center of performing arts. Lastly, I had an amazing driver and tour guide(Jay). Jay was great with providing history lessons, sending recs of other places to visit, finding the best views of the city and if course taking the best pictures. Thanks again Jay!

Fantastic Nighttime Beijing with Anson - This was an amazing tour. Anson and his driver were excellent. I would recommend doing this tour as soon as you get to beijing. it gives you an outstanding overview and helps later planning of your visit here. I surely wish I had done it earlier. All the stops and information was superb There was no rush- we could just take our time. Plus the timings were on point- we got to the Birds Nest just as they turned on the lights-fantastic. Thanks so much to Anson for a very remarkable tour.

Night sightseeing tour with Lucy - Wonderful tour guided by Lucy who is very kind, knowledgeable and speaks perfect English. Lucy will guide you to places where the views are extraordinary and she will do her best to meet your wishes and answer all your questions. I highly recommend Lucy and this tour if you would like to see a lot of Beijing in a short time and if you enjoy taking photographs or just taking in the colourful atmosphere of the city by night. I am so glad I did this tour and experienced Beijing in a different and complimentary way to all my other tours. Thank you so much Lucy for your guiding and this great experience.

Excellent experience with Miko - My gf and I had the Beijing night walking tour with Miko as our guide. Miko is an exceptional guide, very friendly, funny and great fluency in English. He took us around the key night life areas in Beijing and shared the history of each area. He even helped us find and translate at a local pharmacy late night which was really helpful. I highly recommend Miko as a guide for any tours!!

Great evening tour in Beijing - We had an excellent evening tour with Miko. He is a great basketball fan. That's why he is called Miko. Mi means in chinese love and Ko stands for Kobe Bryant. Miko explained all very well. He took us for dinner to a local restaurant where we had traditional dumplings, which was a delicious dish. We highly recommend the tour with Miko.

A great way to start a visit to Beijing - Kevin did a great job leading us around the city at night. We started on Qianmen street, which was full of people and endless shops with food and colorful sights and sounds. The rest was a whirlwind with stops at the opera house, the great dragon at qian hai lake, the Olympic park and the largest LED screen in Asia at The Place. It was a perfect start our Beijing visit.
