About Tour Guide John T.

“Glad we went with John!”

We had a really enjoyable tour of the Forbidden City with John. He was upbeat, friendly and pleasant throughout the day, and everything was very well organised. John was punctual and managed the timing of the tour extremely well. We were able to see everything planned without ever feeling rushed, and he still made sure there was plenty of time for bathroom breaks, photos and stopping when we needed to. A real highlight was that John managed to arrange access for us to an exclusive robot tour, which was a fantastic and unexpected addition to the experience. John’s positive attitude and easygoing manner made the day very enjoyable. We really appreciated the effort he put into making sure everything ran smoothly and that we had a great experience at the Forbidden City. Thank you, John!

“Excellent guide, itinerary and a comfortable trip with no worries.”

We had a wonderful 2-day Beijing tour. We visited the Summer Palace, Mutianyu Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. Our guide John was excellent. He knows a great deal about Chinese history and explained everything clearly. He was patient, friendly and helped us take nice photos. The car he provided was very luxurious and comfortable with massage chairs and wide windows so we could enjoy the view. We had an amazing experience throughout the whole trip. We really enjoyed this trip and highly recommend John as your guide in Beijing.

“Enjoy a wonderful 2-hour private guided tour of the Summer Palace with John ！”

Special thanks to John, who once again provided me with a two-hour private tour of the Summer Palace—it was a fantastic experience. This wasn’t my first time touring with him, and he continued to impress us this time around. Given my limited time, he managed the pace of the tour perfectly, avoiding the most crowded spots while still covering all the major highlights. His commentary was natural and fluid, never sounding like he was reading from a script—he shared many little-known historical anecdotes and interesting local stories, bringing this ancient palace complex to life. I especially appreciated his keen ability to understand my needs, his patience in answering all questions, and even the photography tips he shared along the way. Everything went very smoothly from start to finish. Although the tour was only two hours long, I gained far more than we expected. It was absolutely a perfect experience, and I’ll definitely book John’s tour again the next time I visit Beijing. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guide who is both easygoing and knowledgeable.

Dear Peter, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It means a great deal to me. I thoroughly enjoyed our two-hour stroll through the Summer Palace. I’m glad our pace worked well for your group, and I’m delighted that you enjoyed hearing those little local stories that go beyond the main attractions. I always enjoy it when visitors ask all sorts of spontaneous questions—it’s exactly what makes each tour unique and fun. Thank you for choosing me as your guide once again. It was a real pleasure to see an old friend and share Beijing’s history with you. I hope the rest of your trip to China goes smoothly. If you ever have the chance to visit Beijing again, I’d be more than happy to show you around once more. Best regards, John
