We were warmly welcomed by Kevin in our hotel lobby. We felt welcomed in such friendly atmosphere and had a fantastic start for the tour! Kevin is very knowledgeable, helpful, funny and caring. He was very flexible and attentive to my 70 year old dad and always made sure my dad was well taken care of. He is bilingual, explained in both mandarin (dad) and english (mum) to all of us! After Tiananmen and Forbidden City, he brought us to the best local 水饺 restaurant and it was really very delicious!!!
Many thanks again and I highly recommend Kevin to everyone! He made our tour very enjoyable and memorable!

Tour guide Wang was good-punctual, friendly & helpful. But abit hard to listen to his English.
Lunch was awesome.
Driver was friendly

A long but very enjoyable day. Our guide was very knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited . The Forbidden City was magnificent, and well worth the trip by itself. Driver was polite and very safe, pick up and drop off from the hotel on time. A great day.

We really enjoyed our tour with Judy.
If it wasn't for her, we would have not been able to see forbidden city, Tiananmen square and the Temple of Heaven...is really difficult if you don't go with a guide.
We received a lot of interesting information and facts that no other way we would have found out.
Normally we enjoy group tours aswell, but in this case being just us with her, we had the advantage of asking whatever we were curious about and had personalized recommendations as to how, when and what else to visit in the city.
We were in Beijing only for a few days, so this was the best way to fully get to know the city and get around.
It was one of the best days of our trip, too bad we had to go back home the next day, otherwise we would have booked another day with her.
Simply the best!!!!

Very nice guide and nice tour for both my wife and my kids.
We had only 1 day in Beijing. We could see the most interesting sites.

Must see in Beijing. Better with a guide who knows where to go to and how to get there and explains the story.

Our tour guide Alice was great! She was very friendly and knowledgeable and very patient with all our photo taking! The car was very comfortable and regularly topped up with fresh bottles of water, a great way to get around.

Linda was a wonderful and informative guide for our private tour on our first day in Beijing! This is definitely the best way to go especially on a crowded day. We bypassed all of the lines and Linda was so so knowledgeable with all of the history!! She knew everything!! Our driver was great as well and our lunch was delicious! What an amazing first day in China. You cannot go wrong with the private tour and with Linda as your guide-perfection!!!

This was an exceptional experience with tour guide Cynthia who guided us at our own pace, helping to take pictures, providing excellent commentary, all in perfect English. Temple of Heaven is not to be missed. And Forbidden City is also a must see. A special experience was learning a traditional line dance in the park before you enter the Temple itself. Cynthia allowed us to chose menu items at lunch, including lotus. Note this tour took longer than nominal 4 hours because it was at our pace.

Cynthia was amazing! Recommended we go see Chairman Mao's body lying in state at Tiananmen Square while watching our bags, as the line was unusually short; highlight of the day for my husband! She did a great job of hitting the highlights but allowing us extra time when we wanted to. Recommended!
