My husband and I highly recommend Daphne as a private tour guide for Beijing. The booking and confirmation was efficient and quick, which was really helpful because I had contacted Daphne only a few days before our requested tour dates. Daphne provided all of the details of the recommended itinerary. That helped to eliminate the back and forth email communications.... More

I agree with others that Daphne is an excellent choice. We took (three of us) the sleeper train from Shanghai to Beijing and she and her driver were very accommodating, on time, knowledgeable and fun. She will work with you on your schedule and maximize the time you have so you can see as much as possible. Took us to... More

My husband and I have traveled to at least 10 Asian cities in 5 countries in the past three years. By far the most interesting, perky, funny, and entertaining guide was Daphne. Her command of the English language was excellent, and her ability to share our American sense of humor made wandering through Beijing effortless. She was on time each... More

My friend and I spent 2 days in Beijing with Pau and he is a fantastic guide! He is so knowledgeable about the sites and gives you an awesome history lesson as you go. His English is very good so we had no communication issues. He is warm and watchful and took wonderful care of us. We saw the Forbidden... More

Highly recommended! We are two friends trying to see as much of the world as we possibly can. In Beijing it's strongly advised to get help and knowledge from a guide.

There were 4 of us, two married couples, and the husbands were in charge of planning. Week away from trip, nothing booked. Looked on tripadvisor.com, emailed a few companies for private tours, and Daphne was the first to respond! Fortunately for us, she has able to accommodate us on such short notice! We emailed back and forth throughout the week... More

Four of us hired Daphne for the full-day tour of the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Tianamen Square, and the acrobat show and were thrilled with everything. Daphne was absolutely wonderful and more than made the trip! She speaks great english, has a ton of historicaly knowledge of each site, and throws the occasional joke in there to keep everything fun... More

My friends and I (4 total) were only going to be in Beijing for 2 days and wanted to see as much as possible. Daphne took us out on day one and we had a great time. Her English is great and she has a great sense of humor! It was nice to have someone take care of everything so... More

We were two families, with a total of five kids in all age ranges. Nine in total. Daphne put together two full great days for us. She was very thorough, very kind, and VERY knowledgable.
