Culture and culinary highlights in Tianjin! - Maggie is a great guide! She stays calm when needed and adapts perfectly to our needs. We arrived from Thailand after a long layover of 36 hours and decided to book an excursion. When we arrived in our light clothes, while it was -1 degrees in Beijing, Maggie was kind enough to help us shop first. I had some problems with my credit card, but on good faith she advanced this for us. We made a short round trip by high-speed train of about 30 minutes to Tianjin. She took us to the Ceramic House, the Garden of Serenity and several other sights. Maggie wanted to capture our moments and took pictures of us. My partner doesn’t like to be photographed, but I felt like a superstar! She took us to the best dumpling restaurant, and it was indeed the best dumpling we have ever eaten. We enjoyed delicious snacks in the center and even walked on the ice on our own. We then travelled back to Beijing by high-speed train and metro. It was also nice that we went from place to place by taxi, perfectly arranged by Maggie. We have learned and seen so much about this beautiful city, its culture and its history. We still get goose bumps from our experience. What a beautiful time! Thanks, Maggie!

The bullet train experience to Tianjin - It was a very beautiful trip to a very beautiful and calm city. A different experience from Beijing. The short bullet train ride experience to Tianjin is totally worth it. Ms. Kris, our guide was extremely professional and informative. She was calm and took us around the city in a very systematic way. The sunny day made the trip even better. I think all credit goes to Ms. Kris for the beautiful day.

The bullet train experience to Tianjin - I was very hesitant to take this trip but I took the trip anyway and I didn’t regret it a bit. The city was extremely beautiful and calm. There was something really captivating about the city. But, the day was made even better by our guide Mrs. Kris. She was calm and very informative about the city. Very professional and willing to engage with us anytime. She showed us the city very nicely and in a planned way. The sunny day made the trip even better. To get the bullet train experience for a short journey from Beijing and feel a different city, I think the trip is worth it.

Excellent Tianjin tour from Beijing - Maggie our tour guide was friendly, knowledgable and good in English. Most of all , she was very energetic making sure we saw what was descriped in the itinerary and more. She was very accomodating and we got to see sites that we wanted to see but was not on the itinerary. The tour company was great communicating with me while I was in China as they accept Whatsapp so I was kept uptodate at all times and I can also contact them for question. This private tour beats any bus tour bar none. Bravo !!!!

A wonderful Sunday in Tianjin! - A great contrast to Beijing, a very lively and modern city with great architecture and unique collections like the Porcelain House. The train ride was terrific and Maggie a competent, entertaining, very well organised guide and conversation partner!

The best private day trip to go on! - This was a wonderful trip! From the initial booking through to saying goodbye to our fabulous guide Maggie, it was so well organised. Throughout Maggie was very attentive and such fun; her knowledge of the beautiful city of Tianjin was amazing. We learned things that wouldn’t have been possible doing it solo. Favourite moments - travelling business class by Bullet Train, visiting the last emperor’s residence and the incredible Porcelain House. All in all our best trip during our stay in Beijing!

Great Day Trip - We had a great day trip to Tianjin. Sunflower Li was very responsive to all our questions and provided Maggie as our tour guide. Maggie was fantastic and took us to all the key sites and we also had a very nice authentic Chinese lunch. We walked across the frozen river which was a neat experience. Seeing all these European styled homes blending with the Chinese homes was very neat. It was a terrific day and I would recommend both Sunflower Li and Maggie for any future trips.

Such a delight! - I did the one day trip to Tianjin by bullet train with Maggie and she was both professional and full of all kinds of knowledge about Tianjin and China in general. She took care of everything which made the day so easy. Her pleasant demeanor served to make what could have been a long day seem to fly by. Well worth the experience!

Undeciders - I did the one day trip and the tour guide was Maggie, she was awesome. She was very knowledgeable about the Tianjin, got us through and we did not have to wait on any lines. We visited several sites and took a nice stroll by the river and walked to the train. The weather was perfect. I would highly recommend this trip and please ask for Maggie, you wont regret it, she goes above and beyond and goes at your paste. Thanks Maggie for an awesome trip.
