Michael was very knowledgeable and friendly! It was nice to know more about the places we visited.
He also catered to our family needs, especially because we have little kids.
Thank you for an awesome experience

The arranged pick up time was 730am and the tour guide Mary arrived on time and that was good. Throughout our day tour, we were ferried in a small bus which sit 9 of us plus Mary. I must say that Mary was able to explain the history and background of each of the 4 places we visited, she provided very good narrative and related the stories behind each of the historical building and places with much enthusiasm and passion. The admission to most of the places was relatively fast, except for the forbidden city we had to get our own tickets and then the guide reimbursed back the money to us after we toured the place. I guess this was some local arrangement that was made due to the difficulty to get admission tickets in advance to visit this place. Lunch was Chinese food with 9 dishes and rice. Ordinary quality. We also visited a tea house for tea tasting ceremony but no obligation to purchase anything. Also there was a visit to a Traditional Chinese Medicine facility where the group of us was given a foot massage and free consultation with a Chinese physician, again no obligation to purchase anything but some tip for the foot masseurs would be appreciated. The tour ended around 6pm when I was dropped at my hotel front door. Overall a very good tour to recommend if this is your first visit to Beijing.

Had a great day out with Lily our tour guide, who was able to answer all our questions and was extremely informative.
Bring good comfortable walking shoes, as you will walk +9km and depending on the weather, my trip was in June, best to bring a hat or an umbrella to protect you from the sun.

great day tour, and i guess you know when the lunch is good when everyone has a nap before the next stop. There was a lot of walking but it was easy flat walking and the details we were told about everything was first class and i learnt a lot within the day.

Our full day tour in Beijing with our tour guide, Michael, was an extraordinary experience.
We began at Tiananmen Square, where Michael shared the historical significance of the monuments and enlivened our visit with captivating anecdotes about local life.
At the Forbidden City, Michael's detailed commentary on imperial life and ancient engineering techniques provided us with a profound appreciation for this historic site. He crafted a thoughtful highlights tour, explaining his choices and ensuring we experienced the most significant aspects within our time there.
The tea tasting and lunch were delightful additions to our itinerary. Michael's extensive knowledge of tea enriched our tasting experience, and the local cuisine was delicious. He shared fascinating stories about life in Beijing, making the meal both enjoyable and informative.
The Summer Palace, with its stunning beauty, was another highlight. Michael's insights into Chinese garden design and his guidance on the best route allowed us to make the most of our visit. His explanations of the architectural and historical significance of each site were enlightening.
Our visit to the Temple of Heaven was equally impressive. Michael's detailed historical insights, such as the significance of the temple roofs being blue instead of gold, demonstrated his remarkable attention to detail. Throughout the day, Michael was approachable, eager to answer all our questions, and enthusiastic about taking photos for us. His knowledge, passion, and thoughtful planning made our tour an unforgettable journey into Beijing's rich history and culture.
Overall, the tour was exceptionally well planned and communicated. The tour group checked in with us prior to the tour to confirm details and the pick-up location. We also had a professional driver who was knowledgeable about the area and punctual. The car rides were smooth, safe, and comfortable. Throughout the tour, Michael sent us recommendations for our time outside of the tour in order to help us make the most of our Beijing trip. This tour was a fantastic way to see the highlights of Beijing, and we would strongly recommend it!

Today I had a private tour with Lily as my guide and it was beyond all expectations. I got to see all the must-see sights: The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven and The Summer Palace - all in one day. Lily was not only my tour guide, answering my questions, but also a good photographer. Besides the program of the tour, Lily took me to watch a tea ceremony, which was super lovely. To anyone considering a guided tour of Beijing, look no further.

This deserves three stars because we did manage to see all four sights and the guide was friendly. However the day was let down by the fact of the unplanned tourist trap stops (a tea ceremony and a place billed as a "silk factory" but which was little more than a backroom in a warehouse) that took hours away from the actual sightseeing.
