Lucy Yue was so friendly and knowledgeable. She took us to an excellent dim sum restaurant before a wonderful walking tour of the Lama and Confucius temples. Plus she taught us how to use the metro and how to use alipay! Thank you Lucy Yue!

A great tour with a great guide
Published on Jul, 2019
Our family loves to enjoy local food during our family vacations so this tour caught my eye because it stated that it starts with a Dim Sum breakfast. Yummy!!! So we looked forward to it with high anticipation. We were not disappointed at all on the contrary we had a great day with Lucy. Breakfast choice was really nice and abundant. Lucy is a very competent guide and gave us a lot of insides at every stop of the tour. She took a lot of pictures of us at all the stops (we asked her, as we love to have those memories). The heat and humidity were incredible, but Lucy made the day go fast and interesting. At the end she was very kind to get us a taxi to the Drum Tower and select a fantastic local lunch restaurant for us. We learned about the DiDi app...the Uber of China. What a save! We loved our day with Lucy and we highly recommend her. She’s very easy to interface with because her English is very good and she is very knowledgeable. Great cultural tour if you want to understand a bit more of the complicated Chinese history beyond the classic touristy areas of Beijing!

We had an amazing tour of the Confucius Temple and Lama Temple, starting with breakfast of dumplings. Our guide, Jing, was the best we could ask for! She was so knowledgeable and gracious. This was perfect for our family.
Food and History Lovers Ultimate Tour
Published on Apr, 2019
The ultimate tour if you love food, and are intrigued by China's history. I met my tour guide (Linda) in the lobby of my hotel (only if your hotel in inside 3rd Ring Rd), then we headed out to the Dim Sum restaurant for a nice breakfast. On the way to the restaurant Linda was pleasantly surprised to find out that I love spicy food and that I don't have food allergies. When we arrived at the restaurant Linda ordered me a variety of wonderful treats (chicken feet, sichuan dumplings, rice porridge, sichuan noodles, and steam buns). I enjoyed my food as we discussed the differences between Eastern and Western cuisine. After eating my fill we then began the tours of the Confucius Temple and the Lama Temple. Linda's knowledge of each temple was amazing, and I learned so many interesting things about China's history. If I am ever given the opportunity to return to Beijing I will definitely be taking this tour again!
