This is Angela from Philippines-- me & my friends visited Beijing last March 15-19, 2012. We actually booked 2 tours with ChinaTour.Net.. The first we did was the 1 Day tour: Forbidden city, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace.. We were quite satisfied with the tour as our guide Jimmy was very informative. He knows his job well plus he became our official photographer as well!! I would recommend his tour service any time of the day..

I recently did the 1 Day tour of Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace on Sat 17th Sept 2010. Our tour guide was exceptional and our bus driver was quite skillful. The pace of the day was quite quick but the guide was very organized and made it all seem to flow quite well. e was very knowledgeable and told little stories en route to enhance the experience, was quite funny and entertaining. Had a great experience and a was a fun & relaxing day despite the busy schedule! I had spent a while in Beijing and had seen the square and a few bits while out & about. But it was great to relax with a tour and be ushered around, and the little anecdotes really added to the experience. The meal was quite good. It was totally amazing & I would strongly recommend it.

We booked this tour for our second tour in Beijing, and the tour guide was very accommodating as we had to catch an early flight. Instead of going back to our hotel, we took our suitcase on the bus and he hailed a cab for us to go to the airport, after we had seen EVERYTHING! The day was full-on and we saw the Forbidden City last - which was then rather tiring. The experience of visiting these places will be with us forever. Lunch was great at the Temple of Heaven. Guide spoken good english and the shopping components were okay, but not interested in the Chinese medicine visit. I would highly recommend the tour company - it was easy to book and confirmations fast. Many thanks for a memorable trip. It made it possible to see so many things in our very short visit to Beijing.

We recently visited Beijing and used ChinaTour.net for three separate day tours. Day 1 we visited Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace . Laura (Lili?) was our personal tour guide and despite the rushed atmosphere caused to having to see so many sites in one day, she was very informative, exceptionally helpful, and a delight to be with all day. I highly recommend personal tour guides. The next day we visited the Lama Temple, the Panda Zoo and the Hutong. This was a small group tour and turned out to be a lot of fun. The Hutongs we visited were being renovated so there was a lot of construction debris. I think its great that these areas have been declared protected and are being redone. Lunch was great, in one of the Hutong houses. The Lama Temple was gorgeous and the pandas were sleepy and cute. The tour guide was incredible and I am sorry I forgot her name. I would like to give her personal credit for making this day a great memory. Our last tour was also a personal tour. We went to the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs. We chose the Badaling site since it has the cable cars to take you to the top. I was a little disappointed in that we went to the Great Wall at the last or our tour. The sun was in our faces so any pictures I took turned out rather poor. It would have been better to go to the Wall first but it was incredible to see! During all three trips, side excursions to silk factory stores, cloissone factory stores and other preferred shops took up some of our day but there were no hard sells. Probably what was the most fun was going to the Silk Factory and Pearl Market store. This is 5 stories of shopping heaven. Resist the temptation of buying at the stores visited on the tours if you can. You can find everything you want here if you are willing to bargain. My advice? Start really really low. If we return to China, we will definately use this service again.

| review written by Ricardo Machado | Date Added: 04/11/2012 |  | Beijing Tours As my wife was pregnant, we decided to take a 1 day private tour to the Forbidden city, Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace. The tour guide was excellent, the car was nice, clean and comfortable, and the driver was pretty calm fr chinese standards. The time spent at each place was enough for us however, if you are the type of tourist that you would want to see every corner and behind every stone or bush you may feel that the trip is a bit rushed. The tour passes through the Tiananmen Square but it doesn't stop there. So, at the end of the day as we were driving back to the hotel we asked to be dropped there. The guide was very accommodating and there was no problems. We had an excellent trip.

| review written by Sandra Molloy | Date Added: 02/05/2012 |  | Beijing Tours We recently did this one day tour and absolutely loved it. Our tour guide, Mai, was so lovely and helpful and really helped us enjoy the day, despite the freezing temperatures!
We loved the tour and especially liked the suprise visits that were on our trip. It was excellent value for money and I would definitely recommend this tour company to anybody who was interested in doing tours. Thank you for a great day.
