We did the 2 day tour organised by Lily’s Bejing Tour and our tour guide was Maggie who was absolutely sensational. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, but also very kind and attentive, making sure we had a great time. Being a vegetarian, Maggie made sure I could enjoy lunch in a nice local restaurant, she really went out of her way to make us comfortable while providing a lot of information and answering all our questions. Cant recommend her enough! And our driver was excellent as well (sorry forgot his name) we felt very secure at all times.

Booked the private tour to immerse my school children with Chinese culture. Was attended by Jeffrey ( tour guide) and Mr Yang (Driver). They were attentive to our needs and helpful throughout the tour. Strongly recommend if you want a more customised experience to learn more about China.

I never write reviews normally but for this tour I will make an exception. I was quite nervous travelling to Beijing. I was travelling in with my two boys aged 9 and 7 as well as another family with two children aged 4 and 7. I didn’t know how they would handle the sight seeing and long days but I really need not have worried. Our guide Lisa was amazing. She was great with the kids and was very informative answering all our questions and more. I had also been worried about the food as I had heard a few horror stories and had settled on the fact that my kids may have to live on fast food for the few days we were in Beijing. I need not have Been concerned. The food we had was delicious. Lisa took us to two authentic Chinese restaurants while on our trips and ordered for us which meant we could try lots of different cuisine and my two boys loved everything...well almost! The Great Wall was defiantly the highlight for the boys. We took the chairlift up and then the Toboggan down which was great fun. We added in an acrobatic show one evening and went to see the Pandas and I would recommend both of these, but be prepared to be exhausted. Finally I fully anticipated feeling stressed but having Lisa took the stress out of everything and was worth every single penny we spent. All in all I could not rate this service highly enough. My family and I enjoyed every last minute of this trip and Lisa made this experience one we will never forget.

We were a group of 4 adults and 4 children aged 4-9, after research we decided to choose Lily’s Beijing Tour for a 2 day private tour, they also arranged our airport pickup and drop off! We were able to tailor our tour to cover what we wanted. Which included Tiananmen Square, forbidden city, Summer palace, the Panda House, the Great Wall & Acrobatic show. Everything ran smoothly and our guide Lisa was amazing, she had planned everything so we made the most of our time, had fabulous knowledge of every place, even helped with good photo opportunities! She was also great with the kids! They loved her!! I would highly recommend this tour and would definitely ask for Lisa again if we return! Thank you for making our trip to Beijing so special!

We have just completed a private two day tour with Helen our guide and her driver. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Helen has a excellent knowledge of the history of Beijing and its attractions. Her english was of a high standard and she has a lovely fun personality. Helen is very friendly and helpful and having her to ourselves meant we got the full benefit of this. We have done a lot of Beijing attractions in just two days but don’t feel exhausted. Covered way more than if we tried it on our own or with a group. Helen took us each day to different local restaurants for lunch and both were very good and had local flavour in the atmosphere and food. The car was very clean and a luxury model professionally driven. Beijing traffic is for a foreigner unpredictable and having a competent driver was very reassuring. Can’t speak highly enough of our tour. Thank you Helen and driver
