Beijing Tours 2023/2024

Had a great time visiting Beijing over Chinese New Year! The city was quiet, but that made it easier to see everything that we wanted to. Our tour guide, Angela, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We found a local brewery, Slow Boat, that we went to twice it was so good. Amazing beer and best burger of my life! We can't wait to book another trip with China Highlights.

The Forbidden City was a highlight of the tour. With Christina's knowledgeable and engaging commentary, we learned about the history of the imperial palace and its role as the center of Chinese politics for over 500 years. The complex is massive, and it was impressive to see the intricate details of the architecture and gardens.

Our guide Lily and driver Leo were amazing and super conscious that we were traveling with a toddler. Lily was knowledgeable about all of our stops and was very conscious of our time. She even took special time to relate and connect with our daughter which made the trip even more enjoyable for all of us.

Maggie was so helpful in making sure we logistically could see what we wanted to see in a short time. We only had 2 days. Maggie also took into consideration that we were two adults and a 2.5 year old, the cable cars to the wall was the perfect suggestion.

We booked a Chinahighlights guide who drove us from our hotel door in Beijing to the Great Wall of China. The guide explained everything very well in perfect English.The guide then took us to lunch at a spectacular restaurant where we tried the most varied typical dishes of Beijing.Thanks for everything Yuan Yuan and Chinahighlights!!

As a foreigner that doesn’t speak Chinese, our guide Christina was immensely helpful. She knew a lot of history about Beijing, and was very flexible with our wishes/schedule. In general, China Highlights is very flexible with the custom tours. The tours allow you a lot flexibility, this is very important to actually enjoy the tours. The restaurants recommended by our guide Christina were also very good, where we tried Peking duck, a traditional dish of Beijing.

The tour guide, Jenny, was friendly and helpful. She and my 3-year old daughter made an instant connection. I don't know how I would have managed my daughter on my own without Jenny's help. She picked her up and carried her part of the way on our tours and when she wouldn't allow anyone else to hold her hand, Jenny was happy to keep her safe as we climbed the Great Wall. I had a great time. I'd use China Highlights again next time. Definitely recommend them for efficiency and peace of mind.

Maggie was patient with me the whole time. She sent new itineraries every time I changed my mind about what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. It was great that the tours were flexible so that I could create a trip to suit my taste and budget. I found out during this trip that I was a very picky person with a special taste for luxury and high expectations generally ????. Because of that, I got a chance to see how professional and dependable my agent was as she helped me smooth out any problems I encountered along the way. The highlights for me were when I complained about my room and she immediately called the hotel to change it, and when I changed my return flight details at the last minute and she quickly made new arrangements for me to be picked up on the new date.
