We had a fantastic tour with Miss Candy. Morning at the Forbidden City, afternoon at the Temple of Heaven. You can buy an audio tour, but this experience beats that hands down. Candy gave us lots of information and we were able to ask lots of questions about history and modern day living in China. The pace was perfect and Candy took us to a local restaurant for lunch which made the day so much easier. The whole day was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish. Absolutely recommended.
Excellent trip with guide Lucy

Barry was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and super helpful! Since Beijing was our first stop, he made sure we understood how to navigate the trains and the city .
Feeling the ancient spirit of Chinese empire

We had chosen for 2,5 days tour in Beijing which included the summer palace, forbidden city, temple of heaven, lama temple and of course the Great Wall. We enjoyed ourselves very much - the forbidden city is as majestic as you imagine it to be but a bit crowded. Our absolute highlight was the Simatai Great Wall with Gubei Watertown- it’s beautiful and we were almost the only people there !! (Visited on Wednesday mid May) highly recommend! Thanks to Vincent for his knowledge through our trip ;)
A great way to spend our first day in Beijing!

We had a fabulous day out with Candy as our guide. We visited the Summer Palace, The Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square and The Forbidden City. It was an action-packed day during the busy May holiday - our driver and Candy were brilliant getting us to each destination on time, with plenty of time to see the sights. Some people might prefer to spend longer at each place but it was ideal for my teenage son and me. It was the prefect introduction to Beijing. Candy was friendly and knowledgeable and had excellent English. Given the crowds during the May holiday, we were glad to have such an efficient guide to show us around.
