Highly recommend this lovely tour that I had the pleasure to experience with Angie, the personal tour guide assigned for my one day private tour.
Angie arrived to pick me up right at my hotel with a private chauffeur. The car was as new and drove us from our destination to the other from 8am to about 4pm.
Since it was February, Angie told me I needed to dress warmer and I am glad she did because we spent a lot of time outdoors, sightseeing,
The tour delivered everything it promised, visit to the Forbidden Palace, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace and much more. A delicious lunch was shared in the middle of it all with the lunch menu to fit my preferences.
The tour was personally tailored for me, I felt, with Angie understanding my interests and organizing the tour to fit my personality. She even organized a quick shopping trip when I voiced my desire to buy souvenir silk scarfs before leaving the city.
I enjoyed my tour with Angie, immensely that I booked her again for another private tour, the next day. She was professional the whole time spent together even while we formed a 'girl friend' relationship. She was very informative in explaining Chinese history in a captivating way. I had a lot of fun. It was never boring. You can tell she loves what she does and that made all the diffrence.
The second day, I wanted to take it easy and feel like I was a native from Beijing and that is exactly what she delivered. The day included a visit to Jingshan and Beihai Park with a delightful lunch to one of the hottest restaurant in town with a cheesecake treat towards the end of the day.
It is truly an adventurous day when one is eating fried scorpion at a local Street Market. Angie was even able to swing a big discount for an awesome pair of workout leggings at Victoria Secret!
What a wonderful experience.
Ask for Angie. She went above an beyond and exceeded all expectations. She made my solo trip to Beijing worthwhile and became a true friend.
