It was a fantastic experience. The sites in the tour presented us Beijing from different aspects. Houhai and Xiushui Market are my favorite. They can relieve my travel tiredness.

Overall Satisfaction:
"genegally good"
Generally the time spent at each site was about right for us. I just felt there was too much packed in to each day. The meals/food were good and the atmosphere in the restaurants was pleasant. The entertainment in Lao She Tea House was enjoyable. The guides were knowledgeable and offered much information about China, the culture, practices, history and the visited sites as well as answering our questions. The hotels were all very nice with good hygiene.

Overall Satisfaction:
"wonderful"
We had a wonderful time! The Forbidden City was really impressive. Would be better if we have more time in the Forbidden City. In Lao She Tea House, we had a better understanding of Chinese tea culture. Tasting a cup of tea and watching Chinese traditional arts, I couldn’t think of anything more relaxing. The guides were very good at imparting information about the sites visited and answering questions. The driver was polite and always on time.
