Our guide was Angie. She met us at the hotel on time and we got on our way. Angie spoke excellent English and there were no language barriers. She was friendly and informative and made the day fun. Angie knew her history and we never get rushed. The tour itself was well structured and there was plenty of time to get around each site. I would recommend this tour to anyone staying in Beijing for a short time.

After comparing many tours I chose to use WikiBeijing for our city tour. Dana was absolutely fantastic, she not only knows her history, but she catered the day to our family of 7 and made us all very comfortable. We were also impressed with her knowledge of Western culture and the nuisances she included in the tour because of it. Highly recommend!

GREAT GREAT GREAT TRIP and super highly recommend especially with Adrian!! I was alone so it was a private tour for me, Adrian spoke EXCELLENT English, had a great deal of information about every sight we've been to, it was just amazing. I've had only 24 hours in Beijing just to do this tour and it was totally worth it.

The lunch place the guide took me to, was one of the best I tried in China. very much recommended!
