Be prepared for long but very fulfilling day. Miss Lina met us bright and early in the lobby of our hotel. She had all of the transportation and tickets for admssion lined up for the day, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We started at Tianamen square, and made our way to the Forbidden City. The amount of knowledge and history Lina was able to share with us throughout the day was invaluable. She told us so many stories and was able to describe the meaning behind so much of the architecture - we never would have been able to learn that on our own. Lina was so patient, and she took so many picutres for us! Next we walked around some of the old streets around the forbidden city and enjoyed a nice lunch. Miss Lina ordered for us, and it was one of the best meals we had during our entire time in China. We finished the day at the temple of heaven, which is a spectacular place with so much history. Again, the knowlege and stories Miss Lina shares makes the experience so much better. It was a long day, with a lot of walking but it was worth every penny. Having a private tour guide in China is a must and I would highly recommend Sunflower Tours. They make it so easy - you don't have to worry about transportation, where to get tickets...etc. It's just the best, and Miss Lina is just fabulous!

Sunflower is charming and professional, always smiling! We shared a wonderful day with her. We had very little time during a professional trip and her services with driver and private car allowed us to optimize the day and discover some of Beijing's flagship sites in excellent conditions: No loss of time, while taking full advantage of the sites visited (Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, Hutong district). Anectodes on local customs, some china history insights, everything was there to enjoy the stress-free sites in sites very busy with tourists ... (Summer Palace). Good advice also on the negotiation of “souvenir”, she clearly plays the game of tourists and not locals. In short, we recommend Sunflower services without hesitation!

A friend and I spent a day in April with Sunflower in Beijing. Sunflower was extremely efficient beforehand and kindly came out to our hotel to collect us. She was very good fun, knowledgeable about the history of the city and flexible about what we wanted to do. Her suggestion for a dumpling lunch place was ideal and she was a great help with handbag shopping know-how. We enjoyed all her suggestions, especially watching people exercise in the park and mingle in the hutongs. Sunflower is an amusing, creative and admirable person who looks great in her new yellow sunglasses. Thank you again Sunflower for a very happy and interesting day; from the 2 Janes.

Please do yourselves a favour and book a daytrip with the absolutely wonderful Sunflower, I guarantee you will not regret it! We had such a great time exploring the Forbidden city, Temple of Heaven, eating at this fab little restaurant Sunflower revealed to us and then cycling around Houhai lake and the hutongs. It was great to be able to have a hasslefree day, Sunflower took care of everything from arranging entry tickets, navigating throughout the city and ordering at the restaurant. She also took great photos for us :-) Sunflower is worldly, well travelled and extremely knowledgable- she spent much of the day revealing interesting bits of historical info, along with providing a fascinating insight into Chinese culture.. I can't properly put into words how much of a great time we had with her! Beijing is quite a tricky city to see as English isn't widely spoken and scams are quite prevalent so we felt we had to be a bit on guard when we were on our own, even though we would consider ourselves to be quite young savvy travelers. Sunflower provided a fun, relaxing, interesting and authentic tour.. Enjoy your time with her!! :)
