VIP seats on a Huangpu night cruise plus a Din Tai Fung xiaolongbao dinner, with private guide and downtown hotel pickup in Shanghai.

Private Temple of Heaven day tours in Beijing with flexible options, skip-ticket-line guide, and add-ons like acrobatics and Peking duck.
“Absolutely fantastic tour! Mina, our tour guide, made this experience perfect. First, she made it convenient to meet her outside the gate and had all tickets ready for different attractions within the temple of heaven. Her tour was both enjoyable and educational, and at an appropriate pace, showing us the key highlights and responding to all our questions. At the end, she was kind enough to recommend places for food and shopping in Beijing. Overall, it was an excellent experience and would definitely recommend.”

Private Beijing tour blending a Red Theater acrobatics show with a local Peking duck dinner and optional Pearl Market gifts.
“The tour I booked was excellent. I have my guide Miko to thank for this in particular. He contacted me in advance to confirm the meeting point and briefly discuss the details of the upcoming tour. Thanks to his helpfulness and communicative nature, I always felt comfortable and very well looked after. Thanks again Miko. The acrobatic performance was very good and also especially the restaurant chosen by Miko. I can highly recommend him and the tour.”
