Lovely layover tour with Beijing highlights - Jack was an amazing guide, he showed me around Beijing and shared interesting facts about the spots we visited, everything was very easy to organize, even an airport pick up and drop off so that I could see a glimpse of the city on my long layover. 10/10, would recommend to anyone!

A great intro to Beijing! - Jay was a great guide. He even helped us get tickets for the Forbidden City and Beijing really looked different at night. It was drizzling lightly - enough to make the places we visited quieter and the hotos wonderful!

Great tour, excellent tour guide in Jay - It was a quick tour of Beijing's old and new with a different perspective at night. Jay took really beautiful photos of us and spent the whole time telling us endless stories of Beijing especially Beijing's hutongs and life before and after the pandemic. We was an excellent (and different) tour of old and new Beijing!

Very nice first sightseeing tour through Beijing - A very nice tour through Beijing. The selection of restaurants, which were anything but touristy, was perfect. Unfortunately it was very cold in Beijing and we had just come from very warm Thailand, so we only wanted to get out of the car for a short time - otherwise we would have seen a lot more. Miko was a very good guide, he talked a lot (almost too much at first, but that settled down over the course of the evening :-)
