She also took many wonderful photos of us in various settings. We would highly recommend Kelly as a guide to anyone visiting Beijing.

We had a wonderful half-day tour of the Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven with our guide, Jaypro. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared tons of great info, not just at the sites but also while we were driving between them. We’re traveling with two young boys, and the pace and commentary were perfect, engaging without being overwhelming. Even though both sites were busy, we never felt rushed and really got to enjoy the highlights. Definitely recommend doing the boat ride at the Summer Palace! It was a little overcast the day we went, but cruising across the lake was still the best way to take in the views of the bridges and pavilions. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re looking for something kid-friendly and relaxed but still informative.
Thank you Cathy! You were amazing. So much fun. Cathy was very knowledgeable, personable and effervescent. A joy to spend a morning with. The day we scheduled was pouring rain and Cathy managed to make the day very special!! Highly recommend.
