Traveler reviews
Unforgettable night out! Mei is an absolute gem!
If you are looking for a night tour that is equal parts informative, exciting, and hilarious, you absolutely have to book with Mei! From the very second we met up, Mei brought an incredible, infectious energy to the group. She isn't just a guide who recites facts from a script; she is a natural storyteller with a brilliant sense of humor. She had us laughing the entire night while showing us some of the best spots in the city that we never would have found on our own. The night tour itself was incredibly fun, beautifully paced, and the perfect way to see the city lights. Mei went above and beyond to make sure everyone was included, took fantastic photos for us, and gave us the best local recommendations for the rest of our trip. Thank you, Mei, for making our night so memorable! If you get a chance to tour with her, don't hesitate, just book it!

This tour was a fantastic introduction to many of the key sights in Beijing. At night, the streets and attractions came alive with lights, and the weather was nice and cool. Our driver, as well as our guide, Jeffrey, were both fantastic. Jeffrey was knowledgeable, flexible and very willing to help us take pictures and shop. Overall, I'd highly recommend this tour!
