Private Panda, Lama Temple, Lunch, etc tour - Lucy our tour guide was fantastic. She greeted us in the foyer and we went to a comfortable van, with our driver Gary. We headed to see the Panda and had great viewings of four bears. From there we went to the Lama Temple. Lucy was very informative about all the Buda and the religion. We then went to the Bell Tower. The view was worth all the very steep steps you have climb to see the 🥁 drums. Then, after a short walk, it was off to lunch. Lucy ordered and it was some of the most delicious food we've eaten in China. After lunch we walked through the Hutong and went into the home of a lovely couple. He was an artist 🎨. Then it was the rickshaw ride ~ lots of fun. Last visit was to a Tea Party which was nice. Lucy was a fantastic guide. She was friendly, polite, lots of fun and a delight to spend the day with. Thank you Lucy and Gary 👍

Kiwis on tour in Beijing August 2024 - We had a fantastic day with our tour guide Lucy !!! Saw the Pandas. Visited the Lama Temple. Might have slightly misaligned my Ying and Yang by stepping into the temple on the wrong foot … don’t get that wrong ;-) Great food at lunch time. Kung Pao chicken and a cold Yingang Beer. Just what we needed. This was a full on day out. Thanks Lucy !!! (The noisey kiwi)
