Thank you, Yue! See you somewhere in the world!

I had an incredible experience with Yue as my guide in Beijing! She showed me around the city, sharing fascinating stories and insights about its history and culture. Dinner was unforgettable—she took me to an amazing spot that I never would have found on my own. Afterward, we went for a walk, and she even drove me back to my hotel. Not only did I get to explore Beijing, but I also left with a new friend from this amazing city. Thank you, Yue! See you somewhere in the world!

I’m so lucky to have met someone like her!

Yue was an amazing tour guide and host! We spent five days touring Beijing and Tianjin together. Some of the highlights include: Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, The Great Wall, Beihai Park, Jingshan Park, 798 Art Zone, Lama Temple and Bell & Drum Tower. We also ate so much delicious Chinese food like: peking duck, hot pot, dumplings, lamb skewers, fresh fish and shaved ice! Her easy-going personality, happy attitude, friendliness and charisma is what makes her truly amazing. I’m so lucky to have met someone like her! I would highly recommend anyone to book a tour with her!
