2-Day Private Tour of Incredible Beijing Highlights

I had the pleasure of being guided by Miss Maggie during my recent trip to Beijing and I must say she was an absolute delight! Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the history and culture of the city were infectious, and she made every moment of the tour a fun and educational experience. Miss Maggie took me to the Temple of Heaven, and it was an incredible sight to behold. She not only explained the historical significance of the temple but also made sure to highlight the unique architectural features of the complex. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and the way she brought the temple to life with her vivid descriptions.

Sunflower's two day tour of Beijing and the Great Wall was the highlight of our three week holiday in Asia. Nothing is too much trouble for her - she works incredibly hard - and she made our stay memorable and fun. For newcomers to China (which we were), she provided a wonderful introduction and insight, and we had an excellent time. We enjoyed all the restaurants, shows and visitor attractions which she organised. She is good company and a real pleasure to be with. We would have no hesitation in using her again, and in warmly recommending her to anyone else contemplating a visit to China.

We had a short amount of time in Beijing and were keen to see all the sites. I contacted Sunflower about spending two days showing us around Beijing and the great wall. Sunflower patiently answered my many queries before hand. We agreed an itinerary and I then paid her using paypal. Sunflower reconfirmed approximately a week before. The price was very reasonable. The entrance to the sights, lunch (you also pay for Sunflower) and transport other than where you have a car for the day is not included in the price but Sunflower gave me a guide as to how much this would cost so I could budget/bring appropriate cash. Day 1: Sunflower met us at the airport at 7:30am with a private driver. We then visited the Great Wall of China which was amazing. We caught the cable car up, walked along and took the slide down which was fun. We had a Subway in the car for lunch on the way to the Forbidden palace. We then went to see Tiananmen square before Sunflower dropped us back at our hotel. Day 2: Sunflower met us in the Lobby of our hotel at 9:00. We went to the Temple of Heaven in the morning to see the park and the temple. We then had a Chinese lunch before going to the Summer Palace which was beautiful. After this we headed back to the Hutongs to wander around both old and new sections. By the end of the two days Sunflower felt like an old friend. Overall Sunflower is very knowledgeable and friendly. She tries to make the trip as perfect as possible. She took tons of photo's of us, listened to our preferences and tailored the tour to suit us. She pointed our the best clean and western bathrooms (very valuable!). She also gave us recommendations of places to visit/restaurants to go to on our own once our tour ended. I would highly recommend her tours to anyone and if I return to Beijing I will be using Sunflower Tours again.
