Skye made our time in Beijing so efficient. In addition, she treats her clients as if they were her family. She protects and fights for her clients during the tour. We would highly recommend her to anyone who want to visit Beijing. She is also prompt in answering emails and trustworthy. More

When I found out I would be in Beijing, I went on TripAdvisor and emailed the top 10-15 tour guides. Skye got back to me promptly and spend a lot of time working with me to plan an ideal itinerary. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and her English was excellent. She was happy to invest as much time... More

We were very fortunate to have Skye as our guide. She has a great personality, a nice sense of humour and most importantly, she knows Beijing. Take my advice, having a guide in Beijing if you are there for a few days will help you avoid a lot of guessing and wondering, along with saving you a lot of time... More

Sometimes when you travel you're fortunate to meet a gem like Skye. We contacted Skye through Trip Advisor and onto her web site - listed what we would like to see over 3 days ; Skye replied very promptly with all the information we needed. We engaged Skye for three of our days in Beijing and we felt this 30... More

I hired Skye for 3 days in April 2012, and was extremely pleased with her work. She was always on time, always helpful, and always prepared. Her normal work is leading tours of the historic & cultural sights around Beijing, but for 2-1/2 days I needed her to interpret at a trade show I was attending. Although it was outside... More

We were in Beijing for 5 days and Skye was our guide for 2 days. Our only regret is that we didnt use her for at least another day. Now you can probably navigate some things without a guide, but when we think of trying to do Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City or Great Wall without a guide,... More

I got invited to do an AP Physics teacher workshop in China. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I wanted to make the most out of it. Having Skye as my private guide in Beijing was the best decision I made. Traveling solo in a foreign country is not easy and I have to confess that it... More

Me and my Husband went to Beijing in February and the first thing we realized as soon as we stepped out of the Airport was that we need a Translator. We stayed at the Inter Continental and for the first day hired a tour guide arranged by the Hotel. We were not very satisfied and decided to speak to Skye... More

Choosing Skye as your private tour guide will be the best choice you'll ever make in your trip to Beijing. Skye is very nice and kind to us. She is also very knowledgeable about the history and culture of China in which she explained it to us all very well (even if you're not interested to the history, the view... More

We are a family of three with a boy of 12 years old from Russia. We spent two days with Skye in late December 2011. We did the tour of Beijing and went to the Great Chinese Wall. My wife and I were for the second time in Bejing, nevertheless Skye managed to show us the city that we had... More
