Great museum experience

Mike was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. He made sure all the highlights were covered, a challenge in this amazing and huge museum. Hotel pick-up makes it easy for a first-time visitor to Beijing.

We really enjoyed the half day tour with our excellent guide Cathy at the Capital Museum, she was an expert on Chinese history and culture. She provided detailed explainations and insights with deeply passion and enthusiasm. She was extremely competent and we had the opportunity to learn many interesting aspects of Chinese history in also a pleasant manner! Highly recommended tour with competent and kind Cathy.

What a great day out

Thank you to our lovely guide Kathy who was our guide at the Capital museum. She had an extensive knowledge and made the trip very interesting, we would never have learnt as much on our own. We were collected by car from the hotel making the journey very easy.

National Museum of China

Our visit to the National Museum of China with our guide Diana was fabulous. She was prompt, friendly, and very knowledgeable. She guided us expertly through check in and security and took us to many of the most interesting exhibits. We enjoyed learning more of China’s ancient history, but also its more recent history of the Opium Wars. Highly recommended.

Excellent services and exceptional museum tour !

We strongly recommend visiting the National Museum of China with a private tour guide ! The travel Agency will arrange everything for you, you don't have to worry about tickets, and you'll gain valuable knowledge inside the museum ! William was our private guide, he navigated us very well through the holiday with his fascinating story telling in the museum ! Through his well paced, easy explanations we journeyed through the interesting history of China from ancient times to the present! He was extremely patient with us, senior people 😀! His explanations were clear and interesting and We highly recommend him and the company services ! Anya and Prawindra (New Zealand)
