“ Five Stars for an Exceptional Beijing Guide”
Beijing is a truly special city. It’s not just about the famous sights and landmarks, but also the rich history, culture, traditions, and stories that bring this place of immense significance to life. Clare was the perfect guide to help us experience all of this. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a gift for explaining complex historical and cultural topics in a simple, engaging, and easy-to-understand way. We were a family of five with diverse needs—two seniors, two adults, and a teenager—and Clare was able to tailor the experience so that everyone enjoyed the tour. We made a last-minute decision to attend a Peking Opera performance, and Clare went out of her way to help us by collecting the tickets on our behalf. She was always patient and happy to answer our many questions, no matter how big or small. Beyond the sightseeing, Clare also provided excellent food recommendations that were both delicious and reasonably priced, allowing us to enjoy authentic local cuisine without breaking the bank. Seeing Beijing through Clare’s eyes made our trip so much more meaningful. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to gain a deeper appreciation of this fascinating capital city.

“Informative tour with a dynamic tour guide”
Clare was great from start to finish! My mother isn't the most mobile and Clare and our driver accommodated quite well. We also had disruptions to our tour schedule because of last minute events in Beijing, but Clare did a great job changing the agenda on the fly to optimize our time in Beijing. Overall great experience!
Clare Z.
Hi Steven, Thank you so much for your warm review. I was deeply touched by the filial love you and your two sisters showed to your mother. and that’s why I was willing to take my time and wait for you gently during the trip. We had to change our itinerary from the Temple of Heaven to the Summer Palace due to the official visit, and I truly appreciate your understanding and kindness. Wish all the best! Clare
