Great views! - We had a great time visiting the jingshan/beihai area which we highly recommended. It was an extremely scenic tour and the sites were great and not too crowded. Dana was knowledgeable and pleasant, and we were glad to have her with us :)

Solo Canadian Traveller - Highly recommend this lovely tour that I had the pleasure to experience with Angie, the personal tour guide assigned for my one day private tour. Angie arrived to pick me up right at my hotel with a private chauffeur. The car was as new and drove us from our destination to the other from 8am to about 4pm. Since it was February, Angie told me I needed to dress warmer and I am glad she did because we spent a lot of time outdoors, sightseeing, The tour delivered everything it promised, visit to the Forbidden Palace, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace and much more. A delicious lunch was shared in the middle of it all with the lunch menu to fit my preferences. The tour was personally tailored for me, I felt, with Angie understanding my interests and organizing the tour to fit my personality. She even organized a quick shopping trip when I voiced my desire to buy souvenir silk scarfs before leaving the city. I enjoyed my tour with Angie, immensely that I booked her again for another private tour, the next day. She was professional the whole time spent together even while we formed a 'girl friend' relationship. She was very informative in explaining Chinese history in a captivating way. I had a lot of fun. It was never boring. You can tell she loves what she does and that made all the diffrence. The second day, I wanted to take it easy and feel like I was a native from Beijing and that is exactly what she delivered. The day included a visit to Jingshan and Beihai Park with a delightful lunch to one of the hottest restaurant in town with a cheesecake treat towards the end of the day. It is truly an adventurous day when one is eating fried scorpion at a local Street Market. Angie was even able to swing a big discount for an awesome pair of workout leggings at Victoria Secret! What a wonderful experience. Ask for Angie. She went above an beyond and exceeded all expectations. She made my solo trip to Beijing worthwhile and became a true friend. Aura

This was a wonderful tour by a... - <p>This was a wonderful tour by a fabulous tour guide. Colin is so knowledgeable about Beijing and his English is perfect. I booked this tour because I wanted to see some parts of Beijing I hadn't yet seen, and get some exercise while doing so. I liked the idea of a tour with lots of walking. The added bonus was everything I learned with Colin leading the way! Jingshan Hill and Beihai Park were both beautiful and the Imperial Lunch was plentiful and delicious. My favorite part of the tour was the Hutong. Seeing this hidden gem was the highlight of my trip!</p>
