My daughter and I had the pleasure of having Qing as our tour guide. We had a great experience. Qing was very knowledgeable and added funny commentary to engage my 9 year old daughter, whom is not interested in History (yet)! We learned a lot about Chinese history and culture, with the added benefit of being allowed to take ample time to take a multitude of pictures. Qing has hosted this tour for many years, so she provided us with tips to take the most flattering shots in this historical venue. I would definitely recommend Qing when taking this tour. We will remember this experience forever.

Anson was our tour guide. He spoke great English and had tons of knowledge about the neighborhoods we were walking in, which was also the location of our hotel. He gave us a variety of food choices, all delicious, but did give us the option to be more adventurous. We opted out of eating anything too exotic. We were so impressed with Anson, we signed up for a tour at the Forbidden City and requested him. He is extremely knowledgable about the history in China and tells it in a way that keeps things interesting.

If your travels include the city of Tianjin, and you only have 1-day, this flexible tour was worth it! My excellent tour guide Echo spent the day showing and explaining to me the various historical and cultural sites of Tianjin. The many highlights comprised of a view from the top of the TV Tower, visiting the Yangliu Qing Painting Museum and making a DIY print to take home, seeing and briefly exploring the Five Great Avenues, lunching at a local restaurant, admiring the porcelain house and visiting the home of the last Emperor Puyi. Echo and our driver were on time, Echo was very personable and the excursion made my last day in Tianjin very productive, educational and enjoyable!

We had a wonderful trip organised by Sunflower. We were picked up from our ship in Tianjin, put on a bullet train by the driver to Beijing where Sunflower met us at the station holding a large sunflower! With a private car & driver she took us to Tiananmen Square discussing the history, lunch at a typical Chinese restaurant Hutong; the Temple of Heaven; the Forbidden City then booked us into our hotel. Sunflower had arranged a restaurant for dinner for us. The next day we went to the Great Wall then taken back to the bullet train. We were met the other end & taken back to our cruise ship. Sunflower speaks excellent English; is amusing informative & I can thoroughly recommend going on this trip.
