You might wonder if her 5-star rating on all her tours sounds too good to be true or if it's worth it...trust it, Sunflower is THAT good! These have been some of my life's most carefree vacations in a foreign country; she took care of every detail. Do yourself a favor and book the All Inclusive Tour to really get a glimpse of genuine local delicious restaurants picked by her, as well as easing transportation. If you're up for a more detail: She speaks excellent English, and she's always on time. Sunflower is fun, charismatic, open-minded, very cultured, patient, honest, and extremely caring. She has set what will now be the highest standard, in my personal experience, for a guide. She takes great pics, too! We booked almost two months in advance, and she contacted me almost immediately (less than 24 hours) to start managing all bookings and visits. Despite the little contact, she was ready to meet at the agreed place and time of the booking. We moved around in Didi. We were allowed to set the pace, listen, explore, and enjoy coffee/tea or snacks as desired. She's extremely knowledgeable about China, explaining as much as we desired and always giving a prompt answer to inquiries; on the 3 rare occasions that she didn't have an answer, she got back to us the next day with the information. She was never in a hurry to wrap up, move to the next place, or end the day. When mentioning a couple of spots we desired to visit at specific times or later in the evening, she didn't hesitate to take us there herself. She's extremely caring. On one occasion, intending to visit a mall for dinner, not only did she give us all indications and maps to get there, but she took us right to the mall door and then went home. She also cooked some delicious hard-boiled eggs for us to try! She always provided several suggestions for food, leisure, and exploring the city when requested. She never pushed us to try or visit anything we were not open to or interested in. She completely changed my misconceptions about China, showing us a more relaxed lifestyle and attitude than I expected. She likes to help people, share her culture, learn about others, and give cooking lessons online! She's very high-spirited :) Finally, we didn't have a single additional expense while being with her other than the gratuity for our assigned driver on the Great Wall visit (he drove us around for 4 hours, and this was optional) and her own gratuity, which was totally deserved. She even helped us set up a driver to the airport on our last day in Beijing. I'm probably forgetting more things. I can say, however, that there was nothing to improve that I can recall and that I can't wait to visit some other parts of China with her!

When we were evaluating whether we should get a tour guide for a trip to China, we came across this tour. All the reviews seemed to be so good that we even wondered whether it was too good to be true. It wasn't and having Sunflower as our guide was the best decision we could ever made. She was very knowledgeable, very agreeable, very diligent, had an excellent English, was always on time and was always willing to accommodate our requests. If I go back to China and need a tour guide, I would choose Sunflower again without a doubt. She is basically the best tour guide you could ever expect.

My husband and I recently spent 3 days with Sunflower Li. She is everything they write about funny, smart and attentive. She gave us a 3 day itinerary before we arrived, it gave us the ability to look it over and say which activities we weren't interested in and move things around. She is an amazing tour guide very knowledgeable, on the culture and politics of her beautiful city. When we cut one day short because we were just exhausted we made the comment that later that evening we were going to tour the market. She dropped us off at our hotel and then came back at 7pm to take us on a tour of the market. Which we thanked her for by taking her to one of her favorite places to eat DQ. Sun Li makes you feel more like a friend or family member than a paid customer. At the end of our tour it was hard to leave her. I hope she does come to visit us here in Dallas so we can take her out for Chinese food. ;) See you soon Sunflower Li love Dawn and Rick P.S Sun Li was sucha joy and imagine our suprise when she came to our home for a visit and we were able to take her to her first rodeo, Babe's chicken and an emergancy vet visit. lol I stand by my original review she is a pleasure to be with.
