Traveler reviews
Wendy is the best!
Wendy is the best! Very knowledgeable and fun. We had a great time! She tailored the trip to our needs and we learned a lot .
Great Time
We have Sunny as aur guide, she was very good she answer all our questions and explain all the history of the summer palace and we learn about the dragon lady, sunny never rush us, she also took us for shoping and help us to book other activities, if you looking for the greatest guide tour ask for Sunny
Very time efficient
The time management from Sunny was on point, she took us to these key spots without rushing us, letting us have spare time and answering every question we had. Sunny goes above and beyond her duty by giving us advice while purchasing things at the mall, looking for restaurants, setting our transport and she even recommended us an acrobats show that she even booked for us. After our tour when we were at our hotel we asked her about how to book the entrance to the Tiananmen Square and she just did it for us. Great experience, the group small but really cool people, we felt the day was very productive and none of that would’ve been possible without her and Mr Sun our driver who was always there for us.
Don’t miss out! Amazing Tour
It was a wonderful day filled with laughter, beautiful sights, cute Pandas and so much more! We were super lucky to have a small group which made the day so much more personal and enjoyable! It was all thanks to Sunny, our wonderful, knowledgeable guide. She went above and beyond to make ensure we all had a wonderful experience, she answered every single one of our questions, taught us so many interesting facts and never made us feel rushed. She also gave us some wonderful recommendations of things we could do and went as far as to helping us book an event for that evening, offered to drive us there and back to our hotel after the show was over (which was NOT part of the tour) she was truly amazing and made this experience 100 times better. I highly recommend this tour and if you can request Sunny, don’t hesitate to do so!
