I recently had the pleasure of touring Beijing with an amazing guide Steven and driver, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we were picked up, everything was well-organized, smooth, and enjoyable. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He shared fascinating insights about Beijing’s history and culture, making each site we visited even more meaningful. Their enthusiasm and storytelling brought places like the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and Temple of Heaven to life. They also gave us great recommendations for local food and hidden gems, which made our trip even more special. The driver was equally fantastic—always punctual, professional, and courteous.
Navigating Beijing’s busy streets can be challenging, but our driver made it feel effortless. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making our journey stress-free and enjoyable. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our guide and driver. I highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Beijing.
We had a smooth and wonderful trip to China. Although we only had 8 days, our travel planner, Jovi, expertly arranged our schedule so we could visit our favorite destinations in Zhangjiajie and Jiuzhai Valley. Jovi was quick and responsive, and our tour guide, Ms. Yang, was kind, caring, and attentive to our requests. Overall, it was a lovely experience. Thank you!
We, a family of three from New Zealand, enjoyed a trip to China in October this year. We have been preparing for this trip for 2 years. Before finding this tour operator, we also inquired with some local travel companies in New Zealand and China. After comparing, we found that the itineraries offered by New Zealand companies were relatively limited, and they required a minimum of 16 people to form a group. Therefore, we ultimately chose the 13-day group tour package with this operator. In our group, there are a total of three families, consisting of 6 people. The other members are from Germany and the United States. It was an amazing trip. Totally worth it.
Hello Yocky,
You did a great job planning our china trip. Everything went as planned: The guides were very good and the transportation between cities went well {our first time ever on a bullet train}. We also appreciate your quick responses to our e-mails when we were planning the trip. We think it the best trip of all the trips we have had abroad. Thanks again for planning the trip for us.
Thanks again!

Then enjoy a traditional Chinese cuisine lunch in local restaurant, and move on to hutong tour. Hutongs are the ancient alleyways made by the traditional courtyards.
