Awesome experience awesome guide. - The trip was tiring as I travelled from Shanghai to Beijing early in the morning. But to my surprise, our tour guide Kris was awesome. She has a super cute personality and is a very straight forward person. Despite having walking disabilities, I walked for more than 5 hours without noticing. Kris made the whole trip so interesting, explaining the history of the Forbidden City (palace) making it so hard to lose attention. She also helped with my hotel booking making sure we were all packed in nicely and wanted to assist to take us to dinner. Unfortunately we were too tired and just needed rest. The next day, we wanted to sleep in later so she tailored the day so perfectly we got to experience the Great Wall of China, a great lunch as well as the temple of heaven perfectly. I left some belongings in the hotel and she arranged it to be delivered to us, causing no hassle to me at all. The whole trip was just awesome. Totally recommend Miss Kris!
