    great trip

    I had a great experience on our Beijing tour. The itinerary was well-balanced arranged by Annie. We saw all the major historical sites like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, but also had time for more local touches. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and very thoughtful. She helped us try some delicious local snacks that I’d never have found on my own. Everything was well organized, from hotel check-in to transfer, and we always felt taken care of. It was a smooth, enjoyable trip from start to finish.

    Highly recommended Justchinatours

    This Beijing tour exceeded my expectations. The schedule was thoughtfully planned, giving us time to enjoy iconic landmarks without feeling rushed. What stood out most was the excellent service, our guide, Crystal, was warm, professional, and really went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. I’d happily travel with them again.
