I offer you different kinds of sightseeing package tours in Beijing and China, anyway, I specialize in tailor-made and customized travel because these days many people prefer to travel independently and create their own unique itinerary. I can take you tour ideas and fill in the detail and help you to avoid the problems which only detailed local knowledge can avoid, Furthermore, I could also arrange different kinds of business conferences for foreign companies in Beijing or other cities of China, meanwhile, I provide a range of consulting and research services for foreign companies or business people doing business in Beijing and China. Note: Please contact me in advance before booking tour and making payment.
