Great Tour guide(Jiang) in Beijing
Jiang was an excellent tour guide, on time and always endeavoured to help. He helped us with requests such as buying tea. Otherwise, he was able to tell us a lot about his country and the culture. He was generally open to any questions we had. We really can recommend him as a tour guide in Beijing :))) more

short trip to peking
We do had three days in Beijing with Jiang. The organisation, driver and guiding was really great. We have been a group of 2 (couple). I think we would have needed nearly +30 percent more time to find the right queueing line at all the places. For us it was a hassel free and seamless enjoyment - to visit all the places and having a long hiking track at the great wall of china. thank you very much Jiang & china highlights & team. ps: we also tasted a lot of vegetarian food which was really great. more
