Great way to see Beijing cultural attractions - Sherry was a great guide, she was able to explain all the symbolism and cultural significance of all the sites. The has a lot of walking so recommend a car if you have any mobility issues, but it is a great way to see more of the city. In addition to the sites listed, she also explained a lot about Chinese culture in general. Highly recommend!

Memorable tour in the Forbidden City - We had a private tour guide, Jack, with us at Tiamen Square and the Forbidden city. Jack communicated with us the day before to confirm our pickup time/location, and he arrived at the hotel on time. Jack was able to share his knowledgeable with us in an approachable, easy, and fun way. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him that we booked a food tour with him for the following day. The driver was also lovely and provided us with water and snacks. The historical site is amazing, but having the historical context with to go along with it is simply priceless and added to our overall experience immensely!

The best guide 😘 - Big thanks to the office staff for allowing us to modify the tour program. However, it was the guide Lily who ensured that we had a wonderful day and introduced us to the history and culture of China. She made our time very enjoyable with many stories and despite the poor weather it was a fantastic day. We would also like to thank our driver Hanthat's who picked us up and dropped us off at the airport without any problems and drove us safely around the city. I recommend and hope that the next trip with your office will be just as successful.

Beijing Highlights with Cindy - We are a couple from Germany and had an amazing day exploring Beijing with our tour guide, Cindy. The entire experience was incredibly well-organized and informative. Cindy took us to the iconic Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, providing us with historical insights and stories at every stop. Her English is really good so we understood everything. Not only did she share a wealth of knowledge, but she also gave us recommendations for further sightseeing in the city. If you’re looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and friendly guide, we highly recommend Cindy!

Great tour and tour guide experience (Sherry) - I had an amazing time with my tour guide Sherry! She went above and beyond to ensure that I understood the facts and history of each location. I am a history enthusiast, so she also answered questions that I had from previous study of the historical sites and Ming/Qing Dynasties. I am very thankful for her special services. She made me feel welcome and at home while traveling by subway and through the street of Beijing. Best tour I have had in a long time! Thanks Sherry! This tour is worth the cost!

A great tour with Andy - We booked this tour through Viator. We are very happy to have our English-speaking guide, Andy. He was most helpful and obliging. Speaking English fluently, he took us through an historical journey from the days the Temple of Heaven was first constructed till the end of the Chinese Emperor rule at the Forbidden City. He was informative, knowledgeable and fun to be with, and we would strongly recommend him for those who intend to go on this tour.

A Must for Art and History Enthusiasts - I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Chinese history and art. The places this tour covers are very difficult to navigate and get to know due to their overwhelming size and the language barrier without a guide. Jack was able to answer all of our questions and had extensive knowledge of all the places we visited. The price was really worth it!
