He was able to navigate us around the massive crowds very well as it was the national holiday week when we went. Rocky also took a lot of excellent pictures, and even downloaded them to our phones.

“The trip included a lot of unannounced "shopping activities" i.e tea ceremonies, silk factory visit and a traditional chinese medicine visit (the latter one being a visit to a no-name center that claimed to be related to the official TCM- most probably a scam) which consumed a lot of time. As a result e only reached our last destination the Summer Palace late in the evening, with no enough light to enjoy the best part of the whole trip.”

“Our tour guide James was on time and ready to go! The driver’s car was super clean and we felt safe in his care. James’ English was excellent and had a lot of information to share. It was very crowed in “T” Square and the Forbidden City. James navigated us around and found the best photo stops. The Summer Palace was next after a delicious lunch. The tour exceeded our expectations and we would recommend James, his driver and this tour to our family and friends. Don’t miss this highlight of Beijing!”

“Nothing needs improving. My guide, Cindy Chen and driver Mr. Li were EXCELLENT. The pace was nice and I was allowed to stop and take pictures or visit shops at will. I would have never been able to negotiate the lines and tickets without Cindy leading the way and Mr. Li was a very good driver. The car was comfortable, snacks supplied and being dropped off at hotel was a definite plus. I was able to see three things from my bucket list Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and the Great Wall all in one day. I will be back to Beijing and without a doubt will be asking for another…”
