An excellent layover tour! - Mark, the tour guide was absolutely amazing. He allowed us to design the four hour tour as we wished. Mark’s knowledge of The Summer Palace was very good and it was a fascinating visit with beautiful views over the lake and incredible buildings. We then went to Tian’anmen Square, which was very impressive. Mark dropped us off at an excellent Beijing duck restaurant with superb food. He then very kindly collected us from Beijing and took us back to the airport for our connecting flight. Overall it was an excellent experience of Beijing and we are very grateful for Mark’s expertise and guidance.

A relaxed and flexible way to get to know Beijing a little better! - Short, efficient trip within the centre of Beijing with Rita who took care of everything. Rita picked us up at the airport, arranged our transport and not only showed us around the city centre, but also told us more about the history of Beijing. Rita fulfilled our wishes, whatever we wanted to see or experience (food etc). Rita did a great job during the 4 hour tour. Happy to do it again!

Unique experience - It has been a very good experience, Sofia has explained the history and context in detail. He's also worried about understanding how transportation works and making sure it's all right.

Very nice treat and great way to take advantage of the scale of the hand of a professional - Mark's a great pro. He went to pick us up at the airport and from there took us by private transfer to downtown Beijing to visit the square and the forbidden city. First he told us about the history of monuments and then he discovered it with us telling us the most important thing. After a visit he took us to a local restaurant with great quality and value for money where we enjoyed authentic Chinese food. Finally we went to Quianmen Street, which is a very picturesque shopping street in the city that is worth a walk. We finished with the transfer to the airport on time and very happy for Mark's pleasant treatment and attention throughout the trip. Highly recommended to pass the stopover in Beijing!!!

Beautiful day trip during layover - Mark is a very very kind person. Pick-up at the PEK Airport is very easy. Just in front of the Starbucks. We were 4 and he has a very big car. In our few hours in Bejing we have visited Tienmen Square and another main central area with al lot of beautiful local food shops and other amenities. He very help us also with the payment in several shop. Thank you Mark, we hope to see you again.

8-hour tour - super recommended - It was a really nice experience. Mark was super helpful and kind to accommodate my needs. We moved with a very comfortable, elegant and clean van. First he picked me up at the airport at 8am and then we left to visit the old part of Beijing. After lunch we went to visit the streets where it was possible to eat typical dishes and then we headed to the new part of the city. Really super recommended for people who are in transit for only a few hours.
