I recently had some tours from some of your lovely guides around Beijing of the forbidden city, temple of heaven, Beijing opera and the night walking tour. The tour guides were wonderful; very knowledgeable of the areas, and fun people to spend time with. I was very impressed with their prompt and timely starts to the tours, which was especially important being in a new city as it was reassuring that I was meeting them in the correct place and there was no confusion. I have experienced poor timeliness in the past so I was really appreciative of the tour guides for this attribute. The tours were well structured, and very good value for money, and I was happy that I was neither rushed nor delayed with the time I spent at each location and with the guides. The mixture of private cars, local transportation, and planned meals was excellent and I feel that I had a well rounded and informative experience in Beijing learning about the history and culture of the intriguing city. I particularly appreciated the professional experience and coordination between the main office, the guides, the locations visited and the drivers. I have been very happy with the experience and I fully recommend that others use Viator for planning their own tours. In light of this I have copied into this email my friend Ester who would like to organise some tours for Beijing, and I hope you are able to organise some fun activities for her! She is particularly interested in going to the Great Wall of China. Thank you very much for the wonderful experiences which I will carry with me for a life time!

I just wanna thanks for the excellent tour that we had yesterday. Our guide jackie was excellent, he explained all about the old China and the new China. All the history of the temples and also he help us to shop some souvenirs because not all the salesman speaks english.

Thank you so much for a wonderful tour with Jacky! I saw everything that I wanted to see and learned a lot about Beijing. It was more than worth the cost and I look forward to another tour when next I return.

We just completed out Forbidden City tour with Christina, and I must say that she was tremendous! We found the tour to be very informative, but just as important, Christina was helpful and has a terrific personality. Thanks, I would recommend this tour highly to others that I know.

I wanted to tell you that our tour today was fantastic and incredible. My wife and I did the private tour. Our english speaking tour guide did an outstanding job. She provided us with great history and allowed us to move at a pace that made it possible for us to see many areas of the Forbidden City. We saw the beautiful porcelain. The silk factory was so much fun and our guide hosted a great lunch. Also, the Temple of Heaven was wonderful. I am completely satisfied and could not ask for anything more. I highly recommend this tour and our guide to anyone interested in this tour. Easily 5 stars out of 5

Great tour very interesting Christina was great, had good English language skills. She was also very patient with us, took the time to find out what interested us and, within reason, adjusted the tour to suit us. We skipped the tea ceremony and did a noodle bar for lunch ...nice to eat with locals

I was on my own for the day in Beijing and this tour was great! My only complaint was that I went back to the Forbidden City with a group and saw a bit more than I did on this tour. Other than that, the logistics were well-coordinated and lunch was good. Thanks Christina!

Of all the tours we took with Viator, this is the only one I had a problem with. The tour guide took us great places, but at the end when we were giving the driver the tip of 50 she informed us that we needed to give him 200 in addition to her tip telling us that it was his only way to make money, etc etc. She then accompanied me into out hotel (the Regent) and lead me to the business center asking me to write my comments to you. I refused.
