High yield tour with a friendly guide, Rita
10/10. Great way to spend the first day in Beijing. We got to see some major highlights and eat some delicious food. Rita was an excellent tour guide who made sure my mother was comfortable the entire time. She even went with her on the Great Wall tour and took some incredible pictures. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Try to toasted chestnuts!
This was an unforgettable...
This was an unforgettable experience! Rita was an incredible tour guide, who catered to our every need, and went above and beyond! From Tian’anmen to Jingshan Park to The Great Wall, we hit the highlights seamlessly and had a very filling meal in the middle to fuel us during a warmer day. Rita’s knowledge of the history and culture within these sites was unparalleled and she did a great job of bridging the group together across our different backgrounds. As a note, this was well worth it, even on a Monday with the Forbidden City closed. We still had a very full day and got a great view of the Forbidden City from Jingshan Park. 10/10 would recommend!
Awesome Experience
Trip was amazing. Rita is a fun energetic guide who reached out before the tour with details ensuring we knew of changes. Throughout Rita made sure we knew what was going on and having a good time. Pick up was at the hotel waiting at our pick up time. Definitely best way to spend our only day in Beijing
INCREDIBLE DAY TOUR
Lucy was amazing, I would say the best touristic guide I've ever had. She speaks perfectly English, she explains everything very easy to understand. The food was good, is a bouffet so you wouldn't have any problem with it I'm trying to visit all the 7 wonders and it was the best one yet. I recommend without doubts this tour.
