MEMORABLE TIME

Our overall experience was beyond our expectations.

 "We did not book our trip ahead of time and were only in Beijing for 2 days. This seemed to be the only company that we were able to book the day before. The price was comparable to most all others and reviews seemed good, so we gave it a shot. I would say that our overall experience was beyond our expectations and our phenomenal guide is the reason to say so. I would highly recommend this company." 

- Andy M., customer experienced in June, 2019
