Great Guide! - We booked a tour to the art district (798) including driver and guide. The tour was interesting as you can see a different side of Beijing. The guide (Becky) was really fantastic, she was so friendly and considerate and we had lots of fun with her. She was very flexible and adapted the tour to our needs. Great tour with outstanding guide, thanks!

Sorry for the late review. I booked... - <p>Sorry for the late review. I booked several private tours via Viator in Beijing. All went smoothly. My guide, Serena, spoke excellent English and was very efficient. She was also very friendly, took a genuine interest in me and took time to explain to me a lot of things about Chine, her way of life, food....would happily book again.</p>
