Excellent private walking tour - Our tour guide, Lucy was timely, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly from the time she met my family at our hotel until to tour ended. She gave us interesting insight into the history of the Temple of Heaven. The Peking Duck Lunch was wonderful. Lucy, Li Dongmei, went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. I would most definitely use Unique Beijing Tours and Lucy on my next trip to Beijing.
