What can I say about Terry and Private Beijing Trips?!!! My Husband and I were lucky enough to experience a three day private tour of Beijing with Terry last week and cannot be happier! From my first email to enquire about his service to the final drop off after day three, Terry and his driver were most professional, yet friendly and warmly welcomed us and helped us make the most of our time in Beijing. Terry responded to my initial email enquiry within a short time which was a relief and his English, both written and verbal is excellent (he studied English for 5 years at top university in Beijing). We had a few places in mind which were on our 'must see' list to visit and Terry put together an itinerary for us as well as suggesting and taking us to a few extra places over the days and recommending others when we asked. In the three days we covered Tiananmen Square and surrounds, Forbidden City, Lama Temple (massive Buddha carved from single tree - in Guinness Book of Records), Summer Palace, hutong's, Olympic Park (Ice cube and including entry into Bird's nest Stadium), Temple of Heaven, two different markets for shopping at my request, restaurant recommendations again at our request. Terry reiterated the itinerary was flexible and tailor made for us. When it came to visiting the Great Wall we were unsure which section of the wall to visit. Glad we listened to Terry's guidance and we had the most perfect day at Mutianyu. Our days on tour fell on a Saturday, Sunday and Monday and my Husband and I had originally planned to visit the Great Wall on Sunday, but Terry suggested we go on the Monday instead as it would be less crowded.. He even checked the weather conditions for us. It was things like this, as well as organising all entrance tickets beforehand, his expert advice, his English, his knowledge of China both present day and it's history, his pleasant and friendly demeanor, his clean new and comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, water bottles, great and patient driver (both Terry and his driver would open the car doors for myself and my Husband each time we got in and out of the car!), that allowed us to make the most of our time in Beijing. Terry and Private Beijing Trips, we thank you for making our visit to Beijing a memorable and pleasant one we will never forget! Wouldn't have experienced Beijing like this without you! Anyone looking to book a private tour or any tours with Private Beijing Trips, do it, highly recommend - 10 out of 10 for us!!
