Great family day out. They were very accommodating of my kids, who were too excitable and high on sugar. They were successfully entertained by culture, which I can honestly say has never happened before! I would recommend this company, our guide Ru and this day - we had a great time

Great way to see something besides high rises in Beijing! We had lunch in a home. Interesting to see how a family lives, and see the Hutong area.!

I booked this tour for our first day in Beijing and I wanted everything to be just right. We had a marvellous experience and the Hutong was one of the most interesting places I have ever visited. The beauty of this city is hard to put into words, but after your tour, I have to say I have found my favourite place to be. Your guide was wonderful and I really want to thank you for providing us with a great tour.

Our guide was the perfect host for our tour. He was fun, easy going, adapted quickly to our preferences and was a wealth of interesting information without overwhelming us. In addition to his knowledge he was an absolute pleasure to spend time with and when our tour was over, we felt like we had made a new friend. Overall, it was a wonderful way to learn about China in a short time.

The guide was funny, friendly and explained the history of the beautiful attractions that we saw in such a way that it did not seem like a school history lesson. There were six in our group and we used this company two more times during our stay. We would like to thank you and especially thank our guide.

My boyfriend and I travelled to Beijing independently and booked this tour for our second day in the city. Suffice to say that the places we visited were amazing and our guide was very professional. He also gave us several great tips for enjoying the rest of our stay. If you are visiting Beijing, this is a must do tour.
