We toured Tiananmen Square, Palace Museum, Jingshan Park, and Hutongs with our tour guide Kevin. I would say, without him, it would have been difficult to navigate Forbidden City. We were so happy to have an English-speaking guide like him. We could easily understand him and we learned so much history from him telling us all about the things we needed to know about the places we went to. We then took the bus back to our hotel which was also a great experience for the kids. He was so patient with us esp having 2 kids (ages 2 snd 5), we did not feel rushed at all. I highly recommend this tour and Kevin!

A most excellent walking tour of the Forbidden City. Our English speaking guide Bruce (Bruce Lee is his hero) was extremely knowledgeable & knows all the hot spots & shortcuts! Try the tea at the Emperor’s tea house - amazing experience.

I had a little time in Beijing and decided to do a tour. It was a fabulous time walking around Beijing with Jerry. He was an exceptional guide, very knowledgeable and his English was great. He was a lovely person to spend time with and get to know the city. The highlight - his recommendation for “Peking Duck”. He took me to this restaurant and I had the best duck of my life! I highly recommend

Susan was perfectly on time meeting us at our hotel and led us on a very lovely half-day tour of the Forbidden City + a walkthrough of Tiananmen Square. She was very knowledgable, upbeat, patient, and a tireless photographer. We highly recommend her!

Coco and our driver Mr. Shi really made sure our family had an authentic, leisurely experience. We knew the main sites we wanted to see, but Coco took us to some amazing restaurants and customized both days to make sure we could fit in things like a couple of hours at the silk market, visit to a tea master to taste different teas that were so flavorful and made for great gifts, a drive by the Olympic venues on our way back from the wall, etc. She shared so much information with us and allowed us to ask lots of questions - she kept all 5 of us interested and we have such a deeper appreciation now for the culture. We expected Beijing to be smoggy, busy and difficult to find food we'd enjoy. It was none of those and I think a lot of it had to do with Coco as she'd listen to us and made sure we'd experience what we were interested in....for example we wanted to try Peking duck but were hesitant to go to a restaurant just for that, so she took us to this super cute food market inside one of the hutongs where they made Peking duck on a pancake for us all to try.
