Must do when visiting Beijing

Lisa was such a great host. She handled all the arrangements, tickets, lunch, etc all ahead so everything was seamless. We had a day packed full. She offered so much information on the history. Highly recommend. Wear good walking shoes, bring sun screen and cool clothing if hot weather is expected, there is limited shade.

The Power of the American Passport

It was a strange situation: even though we couldn't obtain the QR codes required for entry—and despite the fact that no one at Viator seemed to consider that internet access is an issue in China—we simply walked up to the entrance, and upon seeing our American passports, they let us right in. I immediately realized that we had paid for tickets we didn't actually need. Once inside, we thoroughly enjoyed all the wonders found there.

Amazing experience guided by Zoe

We had an amazing day visiting the glass bridge and mount Tianmen - both sites are amazing and are definitely worth the visit. We were guided by Zoe, who turned out to be one of the most amazing persons we met on this trip. Zoe made everything more special, from explaining the features of the attractions to highlighting the main aspects of the Chinese culture.
