A wealth of history and stories. - Our guide, Stephen, was just awesome! My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed his explanations of the sites that we visited. We quickly discovered that he knows a wealth of Chinese fables and folklore, which we enjoyed even more! Lunch was delicious. Stephen got an idea of the sorts of flavors we enjoyed. We had a selection of favorites and also two new dishes to explore. Our driver was professional and prompt. We felt safe in the busy Beijing traffic. Seatbelts were readily available, which is not always the case in China. The car was very clean and comfortable. We would absolutely book again if we had the opportunity.
