The perfect choice

Zoltan_H, Jul 2025

It was the best tour i ever had. The organization was smooth like butter. Sunflower Li was very helpful, very kind. She was continously helping us before, during the tour. Our tour guide Maggie was amazing, very kind, well prepared and helped us all the way. If someone would like to visit Beijing’s landmarks and want a hassle-free travel, i strongly recommend Sunflower Tours China.

Sunflower Tours Review

Antony_P, Mar 2025

I booked my trips with Sunflower Tours and had the great pleasure to be assigned Aaron as my guide over 4 days during my exciting stay in Beijing. I began my trip with a half-day walking tour around interesting locations on the outskirts of the city centre. Aaron conducted the tour in a very friendly, courteous, and informative manner. I learned a lot about the local culture, key historical events, and specific linguistic aspects of the Chinese language. I then embarked on 3 full days of extremely enjoyable historic tours in and around Beijing. The key highlights were visits to the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace. Aaron was extremely professional, highly organised, personable and knowledgeable. Each day was meticulously managed: Aaron was very efficient in organising transport, the correct amount of time was spent at each location, and entry into each historical site was hassle-free each time. Aaron demonstrated in-depth knowledge of a variety of subject matters and delivered each tour with passion. In addition, Aaron introduced me to authentic Chinese cuisine for lunch each day at traditional restaurants where local people eat. As a result of the 4 days, I was very pleased to learn about Chinese history, current affairs, architecture, culinary delights and the evolution of Chinese culture through the dynasties to the present day.

Fantastic private tour! A must!

Mr Aaron was our tour guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly to my kids. He spoke to us in mandarin and English. He was flexible with the schedule as we wanted to focus on something’s and fast track others. We didn’t need a selfie stick since Mr Aaron took all our family photos. He knows all the spots for good Instagram worthy photos. He also knows shortcuts and how to skip long lines. A must! Highly recommended!

Best insight of China

Aaron was the best guide we could have hoped for. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. There were no questions left unanswered and we had loads of them. We got the best crash course regarding the Chinese history in these 3 days and this was by far beyond the places we visited. Thank you Sunflower!!!
