We had an unforgettable experience exploring Tianjin with Aaron. His deep knowledge of the city brought every sight to life with fascinating facts. What truly stood out was his exceptional care and attention to detail. Aaron constantly looked out for us, making sure our belongings were safe at every stop. When it came to lunchtime, he curated a fantastic meal, ordering multiple local delicacies that we absolutely loved. Aaron went above and beyond in every way. Do not hesitate to book him!
The trip was great and comprehensive with a good amount of walking to see first hands as described. Lily the tour guide was exceptional in meeting your needs and very organized. She makes the trip perfect. Highly recommended if you can get her as guide. Awesome bullet train ride
Aron spoke excellent English, very knowledgeable about local history. He was able to accommodate a last minute change of itinerary
We are very happy with Miss Lily’s assistance. She is very thoughtful and helpful throughout the whole day. We enjoyed our trip to Tianjing because of her. Give her a 5 out of 5 score!
Thank you for the great experience, we really enjoy the tour and the delicious lunch 😉 Thank you to our guide Aaron who is really knowledgeable and provided historical background of the places we went. Five stars to this trip.
From Aaron picking us up at the hotel to dropping us off at the hotel it was fantastic, everything was very well organized, we saw a lot of things and we could ask him a lot of curiosities about China. The restaurant he took us to was delicious and he advised us which dishes to choose. We would repeat without a doubt.
I am so glad I chose this tour that takes you outside Beijing to the city of Tianjin by high speed train. We saw so many sites - the last emperor's residence, the porcelain house, Italian village, traditional shopping areas, and the waterfront area. Plus, we had a delicious lunch at a dumpling restaurant. Tianjin is famous in China for their dumplings. Our guide, Aaron, was excellent. He was super nice, took lots of photos of my husband and I, and explained things very well. I really appreciated that he ordered 2 special dumplings for me at the restaurant when I told him I mostly eat just vegetables. I highly recommend this tour. (The high speed train is the icing on the cake.)
Maggie is a great guide! She stays calm when needed and adapts perfectly to our needs. We arrived from Thailand after a long layover of 36 hours and decided to book an excursion. When we arrived in our light clothes, while it was -1 degrees in Beijing, Maggie was kind enough to help us shop first. I had some problems with my credit card, but on good faith she advanced this for us. We made a short round trip by high-speed train of about 30 minutes to Tianjin. She took us to the Ceramic House, the Garden of Serenity and several other sights. Maggie wanted to capture our moments and took pictures of us. My partner doesn’t like to be photographed, but I felt like a superstar! She took us to the best dumpling restaurant, and it was indeed the best dumpling we have ever eaten. We enjoyed delicious snacks in the center and even walked on the ice on our own. We then travelled back to Beijing by high-speed train and metro. It was also nice that we went from place to place by taxi, perfectly arranged by Maggie. We have learned and seen so much about this beautiful city, its culture and its history. We still get goose bumps from our experience. What a beautiful time! Thanks, Maggie!
It was a very beautiful trip to a very beautiful and calm city. A different experience from Beijing. The short bullet train ride experience to Tianjin is totally worth it. Ms. Kris, our guide was extremely professional and informative. She was calm and took us around the city in a very systematic way. The sunny day made the trip even better. I think all credit goes to Ms. Kris for the beautiful day.
I was very hesitant to take this trip but I took the trip anyway and I didn’t regret it a bit. The city was extremely beautiful and calm. There was something really captivating about the city. But, the day was made even better by our guide Mrs. Kris. She was calm and very informative about the city. Very professional and willing to engage with us anytime. She showed us the city very nicely and in a planned way. The sunny day made the trip even better. To get the bullet train experience for a short journey from Beijing and feel a different city, I think the trip is worth it.
