Excellent tour guide, we had a great day - We had a great time with Ashley. She led us through Tiananmen Square, through the forbidden city and to the Temple of Heaven. In between we were eating with her very delicious in a great restaurant. This tour is highly recommended. We were very lucky with our Tour Guidin. She was able to explain a lot to us, has an all-encompassing knowledge of the history of China and was very nice. We laughed a lot. It was a great day:)

Great tour with Susan - After doing some research on visiting the Forbidden City, I decided it would be best to book a private tour for my mother and I, and I’m very glad I did! From the pick up at our hotel, navigating the subway, tickets, and directions, Susan made the whole experience seamless and easy. She is so knowledgeable about the sites but also about Chinese history and culture, and always had answers to all of our questions. We learnt so much on the tour, and I would recommend it to others because you get much more out of the experience than just going to these sites on your own without a local guide. Thank you Susan!

Great tour! Lucy was amazing! - The tour was great, they were on time and hassle free. Lucy was an incredible tour guide. She was a bundle of knowledge and explained everything so well. She had answers to all our questions. Lucy personalised our tour to our needs and even took us to an amazing Chinese tea room where we learnt about the different teas and tried them too. Lucy even accommodated a trip to the Birds Nest to see it at night. She was so friendly and made us all very welcome. She also knew the best photo spots for all of these locations and took great group pictures. Lucy took us for lunch at a hutong restaurant and Lucy was so helpful in ensuring the restaurant accommodated for our nut allergies. Would highly recommend asking for Lucy for this trip.

Great Beijing experience 10/10! - The trip was really great! Kevin our tour guide really is a professional tour guide and he made sure that we enjoy the tour. He explained everything in detail and organized. He even asked us every time if we needed to use the restroom. We’re glad to have Kevin as our tour guide. Hope to see him again in Beijing! ☺️

Spectacular Day with Lucy--Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven - We did a Beijing tour with Lucy Yue of the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven with a short drive-by Tian'anmen Square. Lucy was a terrific host and guide. Her knowledge of the sites was terrific, and she has a great personality. We had a lot of good conversations, a delicious lunch at a local place and a few good laughs. We'd definitely recommend Lucy!
