Family of 4 had a great time in Beijing
We are a family of 4, which includes 17-year-old twins. We just completed two weeks in China. We started in Beijing, then went to Xi'an, and then to Guilin, and we ended in Shanghai. We had such a great time in Beijing, thanks to Nina! We felt really lucky that we were assigned to Nina because she is such a caring person and is passionate about her job. She took great care of us and made sure that we were able to see everything we wanted to see. Nina went above and beyond to help us even after the tour was done. She was a godsend because we have two people with celiac disease, and they can't eat gluten, so you can imagine how stressful this was for us, our first night trying to navigate finding food. Nina took care of us and took us to a hot pot restaurant and made sure to explain to them the importance of no soy sauce or wheat. She was very careful when ordering our food every day and made sure to find food that was enjoyable for the members with celiac. We greatly appreciate how well she took care of us. Beijing was a wonderful experience and a great start to our trip. We highly recommend Nina as a tour guide.
A wonderful of a private tour Beijing
Picked up at the airport, stayed in a 4 star hotel, visited the Forbidden City, the Chinese wall, Sumner Palace, Tiananmen Square, the Temple of Heaven and brought to the Tianjin Cruise terminal. Everything is "thanks" to enthusiastic guide Tina and cheerful female driver Lily from China Highlights. We heard and saw everything in a great atmosphere, from beautiful places to a special culture, history and social life. A wonderful experience of a private tour, reliable and well organized. Recommended!
