Sherry was an amazing guide! She is very knowledgeable about the history of the sites and helped to take some photos for us to keep as memories and show our friends and family back home :)

Amazing tour & incredible landmarks - highly recommended! Our guide Jay was knowledgeable, engaging and was attentive to elderly parents that had mobility issues. The insights really helped to enrich our experience. Driver was punctual, getting into attractions were hassle free too.

Our tour guide Susan was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. We talked a lot about the tour and many other things. Everything was smooth. Highly recommended.

I came on this tour with my parents on a short trip to Beijing. I live in China but wanted to show my parents around the forbidden city. Miko gave us an absolutely brilliant tour with lots of information without being overwhelming. He was really fun and friendly, with great English, and we had a great day!

Incredible experience !! Miko have a great english speaking. We take the tour to Simatai Big Wall side at Night + Gubei Water Town, the private tour was awesome, very confortable SUV just for us, very professional driver. Miko always help us and have great knowledge regarding great wall. The drinks and food was simply delicious, always help taking great photos and have great comunication with us !! Totally recommended. This tour is the one and woth every penny spended !!! Thanks Miko, see you soon in Mexico

I had a really tremendous visit to the Summer Palace. My guide Anson was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and shared with me some excellent insights. He was also very conscientious and escorted me back to the metro whilst providing me with options for activities later that day. The palace and grounds are wonderful and provided some stunning views and photo opportunities as well as a fascinating historical perspective on the qing dynasty. A beautiful addendum to any visit to Beijing. Details about Chinese opera really blew me away!

We had a great experience with the Beijing Hutong food walking tour. Walking through the Hutongs was interesting, giving us a taste of how ancient China used to be. Our guide Lucy was very personable. She asked our food preferences and dietary restrictions. She gave us insight into China history and the cultural background of the food we were eating. The tour brought us to places and allowed us to experience flavors of Beijing we would never find on our own. She also went out of her way to give us recommendations and directions for things we wanted to eat after the tour. She also offered for us to ask her any questions we had during our stay in Beijing. We would definitely recommend the Beijing private Hutong food walking tour and Lucy to anyone looking to visit the Hutongs and experience Beijing’s wonderful food culture.

We had a great tour with Vivian and learned a lot about the Forbidden City and Beijing. The Forbidden City is a must see while in Beijing and the private tour made it more interesting and exciting. Vivian also took a ton of great photos of us and knew all the best photo spots. I am glad we splurged on the private tour as the bigger tours looked pretty slow and it would be annoying to have to wait for so many people. It also seems like it would be hard to keep up and hear everything given how crowded it is.

The tour was great! Miko just made it even better. From the very first moment he did his best to improve my experience. Everything was well organized and he could explain all the history behind the city.

We did a private hutong and riksha tour. Our guide Miko was very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a great day! We visited different hutongs, touristy and non touristy. Also we went to the bell tower. The tour endes with a fun riksha ride We especially liked hearing more about day to day Chinese life, chatting and discussing about the cultural differences and learning about this from Miko. Thank you so much Miko, we really enjoyed it!

Great tour around the Forbidden City, learnt so much. Anson was a great guide, who explained everything so well, his english was very good and he was so helpful with any questions. Would definitely recommend

Really enjoyed the tour with our tour guide Lucy from discoverbeijing tours. She was very enthusiastic in telling us more about Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. She speaks very well English and we were able to exchange a bit about the history and day to day life in China. Very much appreciated. Thank you Lucy!

We had only a few days in Beijing and wanted to see the Great Wall hassle free. Susan was an amazing guide for our day at the wall and summer palace. She gave us tons of interesting historical facts along the way. The pacing was perfect we didn’t feel rushed but still finished right on time. She definitely maximized our day to see the most interesting parts. The car ride was comfortable. Pickup at the hotel was a nice service. Highly recommended on any visit to Beijing.
