Sherry did a fantastic job showing us some of the best and most important sights in Beijing. She had already booked tickets in advance and was able to help navigate us through various gates and QR codes, which made the tour much smoother, and she was extremely knowledgeable, interesting, and friendly. Seeing these sights was at least twice as enjoyable because she was there to explain them and make conversation with us. I strongly recommend a tour with Sherry. We had a great time at Christmas because of her.

My flight arrived an hour late so the company had to adjust my schedule but i had the best time on the layover tour including the Great Wall, Forbidden City and the Pandas at the Zoo. I was blown away by the wonderfully descriptive and interactive itinerary that was prepared and everything was fun, educational, safe, and quite reasonably priced.Jenny the guide was exceptional she touched on just enough of the important history about the places we visited and was willing to give endless photo moments i really have to put it out there. Highly recommend these guys for your layover tour it was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
