    Amazing Tour! Great food, sights and awesome guides. We had an awesome time. We were a large group, but easily accommodated by Beijing City Tours Co. The atmosphere was amazing, the weather was perfect, and the sights were beautiful.

    Fantastic tour and great set of people. Transportation was a bit of a let down and the bus was small for the amount of traveling we did. Overall a great tour and a great ceo.
