Very convenient for a 1 day stopover. No hiccups, smoothly transferred from the hotel to the antiques market and Pearl market. Lynda guided us towards what we wanted to see, saves time. She also helped negotiate a deal. On the way she told us about Beijing history and architecture. Overall very pleasant experience! Julia

I would really recommend this tour for anyone who is a bit daunted by visiting markets in Beijing on their own. Our guide Lisa was excellent, guiding my husband and I through the markets and giving us info on all the types of produce and wares. It was so interesting and we felt at ease with Lisa by our side. We really enjoyed the tea Tasting and didn't realise there were so many beautiful flavours of tea. A bonus also for us was seeing some chinese dragon dancing in the Market, which we had time to watch for a while. Thank you so much again Lisa for such an enjoyable experience.

I had a wonderful experience with Lisa today. I don't think there is any way I could have navigated the markets without her because I am not a bargainer. She made everything very comfortable and it was like hanging out with a friend all while getting the best deals I could possibly have gotten. Our first stop was an open air market that had stones, bracelets, paintings, necklaces, 'antiques' and other souvenir knick knacks. I absolutely loved it and probably couldn't have found it without her. Our second stop with the Pearl Street Market where we had a lovely tea tasting where I had some of the best tea I've ever had. Then we wondered around the market and she helped me with the quality of products as well as negotiate price. I don't think I would have ever been able to get the prices that she got because I am not a negotiator. Today was a wonderful experience and I couldn't have done it without Lisa
