Great guided tour
nuriafY8404UI, October 2026
Excellent guided tour to discover some of the main attractions in Beijing and enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant. Gary is an incredible guide, his explanations are very complete and it denotes that he’s knowledgeable in what he is describing. Moreover, he still leaves us time to explore the sites by ourselves. A lot is done and accomplished in one day, it’s a great exercise but highly recommend!
