David is an amazing tour guide!! We booked him for a tour of Beijing, specifically The Great Wall and Tieneman Square, and got so much more! We had a 23 hour layover on our way back to the US from Phuket and David was amazing! He waited for us to get our 24 hour visas which took over 2 hours in line. He provided coats since it was in the 30s (F). He also had snacks and drinks in the car for us. First we drove up to The Great Wall as David told us about the history of China and it's monarchies. We took the cable cars up and walked to several watch towers then rode the toboggans back down! Make sure you don't get behind someone who is scared or riding with kids because you will not be able to go fast like we wanted to! Then we drove back into the city and went to a show called The Legends of Kung Fu which was a great way to learn about Kung Fu that I grew up watching on tv as a kid! It started snowing while on our way there so after the show, which lasted about an hour, David drove us through Tieneman Square and Olympic Village where we were able to take great pics from the car. We then had dinner at a really nice restaurant where I finally was able to have Peking duck which was amazing! David said it was the best in town and I believe it! We ordered several plates for the table to share! After the great dinner David dropped us off at our hotel for the evening. David was very gracious and never rushed us and I would highly recommend him for any tours in Beijing!! Thank you David!!!

Our family of 5 including 3 children aged 7-11 yrs visited Beijing during Chinese New Year. I booked David for airport transfer from and to airport, Forbidden City tour, and Great Wall Tour. It was such a relief to see his David Tours sign as we stepped off the plane. Our first vacation rental was cancelled 5 days before departure and we had to find another one in a pinch. The new rental ended up being further away but he did not change his price. He contacted our rental owner and arranged everything with him and even told us we could call him if we needed help with communicating with him (which we did use and he was readily available). He was always punctual and we could count on him to do what he agreed to and more. He was very patient with our children and so flexible when they needed to rest, get a snack or wanted to play on the ice. He answered our numerous questions about China with great information. Our children are still telling people the facts they learned from him and my son even built a Great Wall of China in the sand today. Take the stress out of traveling with kids and hire David!

Wow David is a brilliant tour guide who made exploring all the delights and adventures that Beijing has to offer seem easy. David was so helpful before our departure from the UK and gave helpful suggestions taking into account the needs of our children and then adapted our itinerary according to the latest weather forecast. His knowledge of the rich history and culture of China is impressive and he catered for the needs and interests across our group. David has a beautiful new van whose aircon was very much appreciated! And we visited the Great Wall at Mutianyu, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Beijing Zoo over 3 days. David then helped us catch our bullet train and put us in touch with a guide in Xi’an so we were looked after to the last minute. Highly recommend David to anyone visiting Beijing.

David is one of the nicest, most professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable guides I have ever had a pleasure to meet. His historical knowledge, flexibility and a sense of humour made our tour great fun and he is very good at navigating around traffic hours which can be disastrous in a crowded City like Beijing.
He can even provide pick ups and drop offs from the airport which is a big plus in a city where taxi drivers don't have a working knowledge of English and he can recommend you guides in other Chinese cities.
What was also very valuable was David's honest advice when some places may not be worth a visit/may have be too commercial.
I found David to be a genuinely nice and trustworthy professional and I can not recommend him well enough!
He made our trip excellent and we wish him and his young family all the best in a future...

I 100% endorse David when in Beijing and wanting to see different attractions and historical China. His English is impeccable and his knowledge made everything so much more interesting. I shared what I wanted to accomplish while only having 2 full days in Beijing, and he took my requests and made it even better. We went to a couple of places that were not on my list but that I am so glad we did!!! We went to the Great Wall and the Summer Palace day one which was a full day. Then day 2 we started at the Temple of Heaven park, it was perfect. Its where a lot of locals go in the mornings to play games, practice Tai Chi, dance, etc etc...and of course there is a beautiful temple there. It was a highlight of my 2 days and such a beautiful and peaceful place, and a way to see how locals gather! We also went to the Pearl market so I could get a few things for grandkids, and that was basically right next to the Temple of Heaven. WE then went to Forbidden City -which can take a long time, but is worth several hours! I wish time machines were a real thing so I could go back and be in that environment for a day. David helped me understand the ancient practices and how Dynasties operated etc - so fascinating and such great history! Do not hesitate, David is your guy!!!!!

We had the time of our lives with David in Beijing. If you are looking for a safe, fun and relaxing experience while traveling to Beijing we highly recommend David.
David picked us up daily from our hotel and took care of absolutely everything. He based our itinerary on the day of the week and weather. Everything was very well planned out, even lunch!
In just a few days we covered the most significant parts in and around Beijing. With over 15 years experience David shared his profound knowledge and guided us with through ease through the less crowded spots. This may be a city of over 22 million people, we didn't feel it at all.
David even let us know which spots to take the best photos in.

Started as a guide and soon became a friend. The trip was very well organized, our group of eight (4 adults and 4 kids) had a great time. He is very patient and has strong communication skill. Really appreciate his passion for the places we visited and his local knowledge. We highly recommend him.

I took a weeklong family trip to China, visiting both Shanghai and Beijing, with 2 kids (ages 3 and 4) and 2 other adults. David was recommended in a travel group and I couldn't be more pleased! He picked us up from the train station and was a engaged and gracious host during our 2 day stay in the city. We visited the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City, while he showed us other sites around the city along the way. He helped us procure tickets to an acrobatic show and pointed us to an amazing restaurant for a yummy dinner of duck. He answered any and every question we had and I'm for sure he was entertained by our little ones. I have nothing but great things to say about David! Definitely check him out if Beijing is your city of choice!

David found me and my son (11 years) on in front of the Forbidden City and offered his tourist guide services (we had not realised that the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays). Normally, I would hesitate to be picked up by a guide, but it turned out to be a really lucky encounter and we ended up exploring Beijing for three days together with David. His rates are reasonable. He has his own car(s) and, unlike most cab drivers, is a really good driver. At the same time he truly enjoys being a guide. He understands his subject very well and easily lays out the cultural and historical aspects of the sites that we visited. When asked, he explained a lot of details beyond any normal tourist guide book such that my son stayed interested for hours. He knew the right places to have good food on or off the beaten track. What makes David really exceptional is that he has sufficient understanding of how Western people look at things so that he helped us to a good understanding of China and its culture. Above all, he is a very nice person. Thanks to him our time in Beijing was very exciting and we highly recommend David's services to anyone visiting Beijing.

If you are looking for a tour guide in Beijing, I highly recommend Bochen "David" Zhang (http://beijingtourdavid.com/). He is an excellent tour guide for US and European visitors, fluent in English and well educated in the history and culture, not only of China but also the western world. Our small group had a very interesting tour of the Forbidden City and a hutong district in old Beijing. I also had a memorable late afternoon visit with him to the Great Wall of China. He took care of every detail of the tours, including the purchase of admission tickets. He provided safe transportation with modern cars for sightseeing and airport pickup. Ian, Bellevue, WA, USA.

Hi, my boyfriend and I are thinking of taking a tour to the Great Wall on the 14th of May from Beijing. What is your pricing and email address to discuss?
Written May 1, 2018
I am interested in a 2 day tour of Beijing. We are doing a separate 2 day hike on the wall so I would like to take in the other sights the city has to offer. What is the best way to get in touch with you and can you tailor a private tour for 2 people? I am looking at an arrival Sunday May 20 early morning. There would be some flexibility depending on whether we start with the hike or the Beijing tour. We will be taking a train to Xian Wednesday evening, May 23,
