Amazing Lama Temple, Hutong and Silk & Pearl Market Private Day Tour - Our guide was called Aaron, he was amazing in his experience, knowledge and expertise. His english was perfect. Such a lovely person showing us all the sites He picked a great restaurant for lunch and we tried the famous perking duck - its out of this world. Aaron helped us to visit the silk and pearl markets, where we also had to replace our mobile phone and he was very helpful finding a shop that sold tech items. Fantastic tour and highly recommend Aaron.

Amazing experience!! - Sunflower Li is absolutely amazing. Bubbly, full of energy, kind, thoughtful, observant, knowledgable. She makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years with no effort. She has a lot of history and interesting stories. She loves her culture and country and gets you to also share her love and admiration. She was also very flexible with changing the list of places we visited as I’d already seen some and there were some others I wanted to see. We added Summer Palace to the list, and also did Lana temple, two Hutong areas and the sugar rooftop. Lunch was delicious where we tired frogs, shrimp and a local spicy chicken stir fry. I booked the your very last minute at 10 pm the night before. She lives in the suburbs but was here on time, all smily and friendly despite the short notice. Sunflower Li definitely helped me get a different level of insight into her amazing city and culture. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!
