Beijing Day Tour Confucius and De Lai Lama

To start with history is one of my list everytine I travelled to another country. My tour guide Rita was excellent. She took time to explain to me every detail and special monument inside the confucius museum. I also admired her professionally. She is one of the best tour guide I ever had.

We did this tour and it was a wonderful time. Lisa was great! She was very informative and patient. The Lama Temple was a truly wonderful place, and the Confucius Temple was really serene. I would thoroughly recommend visiting the temples.
