Tour of palaces and temples in Beijing - The tour was very good despite the cold that day in the city. Our guide was very friendly and knew very well the history of the places we visited, helped us to take excellent pictures during the view of the palaces and always remained very attentive and professional.

Great highlights of Beijing tour - Rocky’s extensive knowledge of every site and his exceptional photography vantage points make him an invaluable guide. His incredible personality shone through with my children and he truly is a special person. Anyone fortunate enough to have him as their guide would be incredibly lucky!

Temple of Heaven - Temple of Heaven 天坛公园 - In my opinion, the Temple of Heaven is an absolute must when visiting Beijing. I was impressed by the precision of the details, the colours and the perfect symmetry of the buildings. I especially liked the fact that the park lives around the temple – locals play sports, sing or just spend their time there. The place has a unique atmosphere where history combines with everyday life.

Best tour with ROCKY! - I’ve always wanted to go check out the palace in Beijing and was a little overwhelmed when I was doing the research. I then booked a day tour and I was the best decision! The tour guide ROCKY rocks!!!! He’s the best! He’s so informative and witty. He speaks in an American accent and is very knowledgeable with the local culture and history. The also helped with to take heaps of photos that I got to look at after the trip. He’s the best!

Good Tour and Rocky is the best - We are so lucky to have Rocky as our guide. He is very professional, knows the best point to take photos, take special care for the tour members who have special dietary requirements. He has good coordination with the driver so we didn’t really have to wait for the driver. The driver’s driving skill is impressive as well. We like the tour arrangements as well. Exactly what we wanted.

Helen - Travel China Guide - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **5-Star Review** We had a wonderful second day in Beijing with our guide **Helen**. She explained the history and culture beautifully at the Temple of Heaven and gave us great insight into local life during the Hutong rickshaw ride and Siheyuan home visit. Helen guided us clearly through the Lama Temple and the Summer Palace, managing the day perfectly and keeping everything smooth and enjoyable for our family. She was knowledgeable, well-organised, and lovely company throughout. Highly recommended!

interesting tour with fantastic guide! - We shared a wonderful tour with Helen our caring guide. She took the time to explain the importance of sites like the Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace. We were never hurried and by the end of the day we felt like her own family. I would recommend this tour and will go with this company again in the future.

Fantastic Beijing Tour with Rocky — Highly Recommended! - Fantastic Beijing Tour with Rocky — Highly Recommended! I had an amazing experience on this tour, and a big part of it was thanks to our guide, Rocky. From the very beginning, he was punctual, organised, and welcoming. His explanations of the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Lama Temple, and the Hutongs were clear, engaging, and filled with fascinating insights. Rocky was extremely attentive and thoughtful throughout the day. He guided us smoothly through the crowds, checked in on our comfort, and even helped us take wonderful photos at all the best spots — he really knows the good angles! The entire tour felt relaxed and enjoyable. The van was clean, spacious, and comfortable, making the journey between locations very pleasant. With Rocky’s great sense of humour, patience, and genuine passion for Beijing’s culture, the whole experience was not only informative but also truly enjoyable. Thank you, Rocky, for making this tour one of the highlights of our Beijing trip. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Beijing!
