History, Food and Fun
We learned about China in school but it has always been a dream of ours to actually visit the sites. We were not disappointed! The sites were amazing and our guide, Bruce, along with our driver, Joe did a fabulous job taking our interests into account and delivering an exceptional tour. A big plus...Bruce was a fantastic photographer and made great local food selections during our outings. more

An amazing experience in Beijing !
We had a wonderful time visiting the Beijing Zoo and the Great Wall with our guide Paul! He was exceptionally kind and knowledgeable and took exceptionally good care of us. We enjoyed conversing with him and learning about life in Beijing as well as the history of the Great Wall. He was also helpful in finding us food to fit my dietary needs which I appreciated. Everything about our trip has been smooth and we had such good fun. I would absolutely recommend China Highlights and Paul for their professionalism! more
