About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- tsm730 contributionsExcellent value for money - personalized tourDemi is a very attentive and customer oriented tour guide. She contacted me immediately after I made the booking, organizing the trip and accommodating my availability. She adapted our daily schedule to traffic and crowds at activities, so we could make the most of our day and see as much as possible, without hassle. Very informative and answered all our questions, providing much knowledge with a very good command of the English language. I can really recommend her tours and would be happy to do another visit on a future trip with her again.Written September 22, 2024
- DoritK0 contributionsTwo days tour in Beijing with an excellent guide!We are currently spending 5 days in Beijing and loving it! As experienced travellers, we thought we could get by by ourselves, but after reading the reviews and discussing with Demi, who was flexible and attentive, we decided to spend with her tow days: 1. Forbidden city, Tiananmen Square, Hutongs and a city walk 2. Great wall and sumner palace. Demi has excellent English, has a lot of knowledge in the history of China, and gave us lots of insights on today’s daily life in China. Also tips on dining and restaurants. She is fun and easy to be with - very important if you spend so many hours together Highly recommended!!Written September 15, 2024
- Alpphagemini0 contributionsHalf day private Forbidden City and Temple of HeavenWe did the Beijing half day tour of Forbidden city and Temple of Heaven. Demi’s knowledge and demeanour were outstanding. She is very friendly and easy going which helps digest the vast amount of history surrounding this great city. She also managed to get us a great lunch at a local restaurant with local prices. An unforgettable experience and highly recommended.Written September 12, 2024
- nicke8310 contributionsUnforgettable ExperienceWhat an experience! Enjoyed our day with Demi. She has a wealth of knowledge and full of information. We rearranged our itinerary order. This to avoid the crowds, she’s knows the ins and outs to ensure we are not waiting too long in queues and avoiding the crowds. It is still Summer Vacation in China so it was quite busy. At all 3 we visited. She is very friendly and as soon as we hopped into our comfortable vehicle, she sets the mood for the entire experience ahead of us. Reccomend this tour! You won’t be disappointed.Written August 11, 2024
- Damo M0 contributionsLook No Further for a great tour in Beijing!We had a wonderful day with Demi, she was a pure delight! Despite booking at very short notice, she went out of her way to organise everything and secure our tickets. She was so knowledgeable about the Forbidden City, Tianenmen Square and The Great Wall, everything we asked was answered and leaves us wanting to learn more. If you are looking for a fabulous tour and guide in Beijing, stop and book this tour now. I couldn’t recommend it more highly:) Thanks for a great day out Demi!Written August 11, 2024
- Kenyatta K0 contributionsBook Demi! We couldn’t have done this as effortless as we experienced without her. Private tour guide, worth the money!Book Demi! Only of course if you desire to have the most amazing, worry free, worth every penny kind of experience. Keep reading. There is no reason to take the burden of making plans to see the sites when you have someone like Demi to hire as your private tour guide. I was visiting Beijing from the US to celebrate my birthday and I know I couldn’t do everything but wanted to make sure I did the top must see attractions. I did a search on TripAdvisor and read many reviews for private tours to the Great Wall and Forbidden City. I chose to go with Demi due to here past guest reviews and all 5 star ratings. I booked for a next day tour, Demi called me within the hour to confirm, we chatted a bit and set a time to meet up in the morning. The next morning she met me in my hotel lobby and off we went to the Great Wall! Booking Demi took the guess work out of transportation to and from, best times to go to beat the crowds, and maximized the time we had by being efficient and knowledgeable. Not only were we able to see the 2 major places on my list she also had time to take us to Taninaman Square! Demi is knows backstories and the history to help you understand deeper about where you are and what took place at what time. I could write forever about our lovely guide, she was truly a pleasure to spend the day with! Thank you Demi for being a wonderful part of my special birthday celebration! For an effortless experience visiting the must see’s in Beijing, book her! You’ll be so glad you did, I promise.Written May 25, 2024

- wenniq0 contributionsMost enjoyable and enriching private tour by the most experienced and well-spoken tour guide!We visited Beijing in March. Great time to come - low season, less crowd and not too cold weather. We are glad to have booked this tour - Demi speaks excellent English, is a great conversationalist, has deep knowledge of China’s history, shares with us readily on all matters related to the venues we visited and more.. Demi was the most efficient tour guide, within the hour after we booked the tour, she connected with us to welcome us & introduce herself! She was also very flexible and accommodated our request to modify our itinerary at the last minute. We thank her for taking such good care of us, really enjoyed the tour!Written March 13, 2024
- Jeffcreek0 contributionsDemi is the guide!Fantastic tour. If you are going to hire a guide, you want information about the guide, not so much the tour. Our guide was beyond fantastic. I booked this tour about 18 months ago. Our guide, Demi, contacted me through whats app shortly after I booked it. She asked what we wanted to see. First time in Beijing for us so I asked for recommendations. She did that and then gave a list of hotels for us to stay at. We traveled by cruise ship to Tianjin by Cruise. Demi picked us up, took us to the Great Wall. Along the way was a great history lesson. We arrived and spent time at the wall. Demi booked a 4:30 show for the Chinese acrobats. The Great Wall had some great competition here. Super show. We spent the evening at a hotel and had an issue with our visa. Demi called the clerk and worked things out. The next day we started at 8 am. Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and Heavenly Temple. The guide makes all of the difference. This is the guide you want!Written March 12, 2024

We had a great experience with Demi in Beijing, the Great Chinese wall, Summer Palace and more.
Demi speaks a very fluent and rich English, has deep knowledge about History and places and it was really a pleasure traveling with her. She was listening to our needs and priorities and adapt herself, giving us the right 'space' some need during this type of trips.

We have been guided by Demi for the last two days. One day in Beijing's Forbidden City and Hutong district and today in the Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace.
Let me commence and mention how knowledgeable she is- not only relating to the main attractions but almost on anything related to China. She has many tips. Entering with her will also save you long waiting time at various attractions (special queue for tour guides). Her English is VERY VERY good and she definitely taught us lots of information about China, Chinese cultures and history and, of course, about the attractions. All the drivers she has worked with were prompt and helpful as well.
We gladly recommend Demi for any tour in Beijing- especially if you want to gain the most of your visit and your time.
