Anthony_P, Jul 2026

Best first day intro to Bejing

This was a fabulous 1 day tour of the most famous sites of central Bejing. Our English speaking guide (ask for Herbie) was super informative on all the historic sites and very freindly. The lunch was more like a banquet of delicious Chinese foods. The Peaking duck was superb. I would thoroughly recommend this tour for all first time visitors to Bejing especially if you can get Herbie who will make the day one to remember.

Beijing highlights in one day

Great all inclusive tour. Lucy was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history of China. Her English was excellent. She kept us entertained throughout the tour with very interesting stories about Chinese history. She really took good care of us and kept the group together in the very crowded areas. She ensured that we were able to see and do everything as advertised. I would highly recommend this tour.
