It was incredible to have a private tour in Spanish; our tour guide, Amanda, was great! We really enjoyed the private tour by choosing the places and time for every place of interest. We learn a lot about Chinese culture, and we definitely recommend it.

We have traveled all over the world and this is my 5th time back to China. I took my healthy 80-year-old father, sister, and 18 year old daughter. Peter was our tour guide and was EXCELLENT! One of the best tour guides I have ever had anywhere in China- and possibly in the world. We like tour guides that can go deep on history and be engaging. We all learned a lot and had a great time. I have studied China extensively and was delighted to have a guide that also studied history in college. He exceeded our expectations and was a delight to get to know. One of the tour operators/guides, Catherine, is well organized and can be trusted. Having been to China several times, I highly recommend you book this tour. The places you visit on this tour are of great significance and you need a good tour guide in order to understand the significance of these places in world history. They are not set-up well to navigate on your own without a guide. I’ve had friends try to do them in their own and they regretted it. This tour was money well spent- affordable and a great value. I am bringing back some friends this Fall and will book this tour again.

One of the best tour guides I have ever had anywhere in China (and possibly anywhere else I have traveled). We like tour guides that can go deep on history. He exceeded our expectations and was a delight to get to know. The tour operator is well organized and puts together a great tour. I will be booking this exact tour again when I come back with friends later this year. Book this in advance and request Peter!

We booked at very short noticed but Catherine was very accommodating and organise a one day itinerary in less than 24 hours. Our guide, Jenny, was wonderful and ensured we got the most out of our day. Will absolutely book with them the next time we visit Beijing.
