"Quality Tour with Local Tips, Facts and Eats"

My parents, cousin, and I had an amazing trip to China thanks to Miya's service, one of travel consultant of Beijing Holiday. She quickly responded to email us and helped arrange our perfect one day tour with pick up from our hotel. Ben served as our guide and our driver, who got us everywhere safely. He answered all our questions, giving us an engaging historical lesson, navigated the crowds quickly for the best seats and services, took us to a great restaurant, captured postcard perfect pictures of us and provided great directions and tips for the places we planned to see on our own.

I highly recommend Beijing Holiday. Choose her services to see the best of Beijing!

"13 Days Wonderful Tour: Shanghai - Beijing - Xian - Beijing"

At the beginning of this month, My boyfriend and I had a wonderful 13 days Tour in Shanghai, Beijing and Xian, which was organized up to the details by Miya and her Company.

Firstly, the tour guides that we had during our stay in China were excellent, very friendly and with perfect English! They gave advices on markets to visit, food to try and a lot of additional information about Chinese culture, customs, etc.

Secondly, the restaurants we were taken to were local and had delicious food such as dumplings, fish, duck and other food items and where you couldn't see any tourists but locals. One of the restaurants we visited was Cantonese, which was fabulous! It was a great surprise and we loved the food! Usually the guide asked what we feel like eating and then order so much food to taste. Our guide in Shanghai was absolutely the best in taking us out for lunch/dinner.

Once we arrived in Beijing, we were provided with laminated guide books which were a very thoughtful and nice gesture from the Company, well done! Most important, we visit the Forbidden City and learn the love story of Chinese Emperors and their concubines.

Finally, I have to say that we felt welcome and treated nicely during the whole tour in China and enjoyed the high quality service provided by Miya, her company and the local tour guides.

Highly recommend the hotels we stayed in: Beijing Howard Johnson Paragon Hotel, Xian King Dynasty Hotel, and Shanghai Golden River-View Hotel.

"Excellent Tour Arrangement"

My family and I ( 4 of us ) were absolutely delighted to have an unforgettable 7 days trip in Tibet with Beijing Holiday. Many people believe it is a difficult process to enter Tibet, but this company made it so easy. We just emailed them my tour time, personal information and the Passport Number, they organized our Tibet permits which are included in the tour cost. We spent 3 days to travel across Lhasa, visiting Potala Palace, Barkhor Street and four temples. Then we went from Lhasa to Yamdrok Lake, Karola glacier and Kumbum stupa at Shigatse, and continued to get a view of Everest and crossed the border to Nepal, all for the cheapest price. That's exactly what I did and it was a surreal and unforgettable experience.

In conclusion, this company treated me not just like a customer, but like a guest. Every member is not focused on making money, but looking after you and making you feel welcom. I can't thank them enough!

"Beijing & Xian 5 Days Tour"

Wow! From the emailing, planning, to the greeting, to the accommodations, to the sites - all with the nicest tour guides we've ever experienced. The hugs at the end of each city's tour with the guides were a sincere gesture of "thank you so much - we want to come back and see even more cities of China". No detail was overlooked. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute using Beijing Holiday to experience China!

Excellent Tour Guide

Dear Miya

Thank you for your help in Xian. We were very enjoy the time in Terra-cotta Warriors and Huaqing Spring. I am player, so do exercise is necessarily for everyday. Miya gave me a good idea, to swim in Huaqing hot spring. It is located in south of Xian, close to Qing mountain. In the morning, Miya took us there and spent one hour. It is land of idyllic beauty. If you want to relax please go there. Finally we highly recommend you to join Miya'tour. She will give you a big surprise.

Seeing the city of Beijing on 4 days

We booked the itinerary 4 Days Classic Beijing Tour with Beijingholiday.com before I came to China for a month ago. Our advisor Miya help us to customize 4 day tour earnestly, and answer our email quikely. I can't believe how lucky we have been. From the first second we were collected from the airport, our private guide, Ms Zhang and our driver, Mr Hong have taken amazing care of us. Nothing has been too much trouble. We have seen all the sights and Zhang has filled us with information and patiently answered all our questions. We can highly recommend this company to anyone looking. They are better in the Beijing local agency. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcomed in our first visit to your beautiful country.

Visited January 2014

Dear Beijingholiday,

Thanks a lot for arranging this discover tour to Tibet. We are pretty pleased with the arrangements.

I found you are a very professional organization and I am pleased with the way the arrangements were organized.We have the plenty of time to adapt to the high altitude hypoxia. It was thoughtful of you to arrange for Islam meal in the trip.

The guide was very efficient and courteous. He had good knowledge about the places to visit and was pretty fluent in English. We are happy with the service of the car driver. He was very careful on driving specially on the fact that we had a 6 years old kid with us. He was also very polite.

We like the feature that you entertain customized itinerary for the clients and do not stick to your own. Please keep it up!

The accommodation provided (4 points Sheraton) was also comfortable though it was winter in Lhasa. The heating was working very nicely. I would strongly recommend that you plan your trip through Beijingholiday.com. You will enjoy the trip!

Regards,

Pgbell

"My Wonderful Guilin Li River Cruise with Beijing Holiday"

Our trip was wonderful , everything was very well organize , the guides , the places we see, a little bit too much, but with the little time we had, was impossible to do better, or more, the guides in Guilin were especially nice an sweet to us.

And the best were you, thanks a lot, and we are going to recommend you and your company with everybody.

“Trip to Great Wall”

My holiday was to Hong Kong and Perth to visit relations but always wanted to see The Great Wall. Only had one day and contacted Beijing Tours to arrange the trip. They kept in touch with me, by email, constantly and they done everything for me. I was picked up from the airport and driven to my hotel that was also arranged by Beijing Tours. I was met by my guide Pan and his driver with no problem. The hotel was just what I needed and not expensive. The following day I was picked up by my guide and driver and driven to 2 different sections of the wall. A lovely Chinese buffet meal was included and Pan was very helpful and answered all my questions. All fees for access to The Wall were included.

The following day Pan and his driver picked me up again from the hotel and took me to the airport.

100% satisfied with not just the service but the price charged. Very reasonable indeed.

Thank You Miya, Pan and Beijing tours for an excellent service.

Best Wishes

Tony Holden

“Just what we wanted” - Yangtze Cruise

Under Miya's help, we did a 3 night 4 day cruise from Chongqing to Yichang in their (5 Days Classic Yangtze Cruise from Beijing) and had a wonderful time our tour agency had told us in advance that the cabins were not large with single beds, but they were plenty large enough and we could have upgraded of we had wanted to we did not need to. All of the rooms had balconies to sit out on while cruising which was wonderful especially when going through the locks. The staff were professional and friendly, the food wonderful ( though we would suggest you wait while the rush goes) The tours were great and very educational a really great trip well worth the money. Otherwise, my idea that now is the best time to cruise on Yangtze River.

“The most beautiful temple in Beijing” - Lama Temple (Yonghegong)

When short of time to see all the sights in Beijing, I usually recommend to people not to miss this temple. Its location is quite accessible and the atmosphere both inside its premises and in the surrounding little streets, with many stores selling religious artifacts, make for a great visit. This monument was fortunately preserved from the ravages of the Cultural Revolution and it always astounds visitors with its beauty and the monumental sizes of its main Buddha statue.

“Great place on a clear day!” - Jingshan Park(People Park)

I thought Jingshan Park was truly a lovely park not because of any outstanding beauty but it was a real people's park. Residents living in the vicinity have free access to the park and they use it well. When I visited in the morning I found groups of people doing various forms of group exercises or simply walking and talking with friends. It's a great escape from their cramped living quarters.

Group dancing, singing, recitation - all forms of exercises to maintain mental and physical agility. It's free and there's no gym fees!

One group that caught my attention was a young female conductor, a band and a group of singers. Men and women with their song books belted away happily. It was 9am in the morning.

I found it very uplifting. When I was up on the nearby hill, I could still hear the music a few hours later. Upon leaving the park, I saw lots of activities across the road - people going about their morning chores, some carrying their shopping and breakfast goodies - a clue there's a market somewhere. I was richly rewarded with the sight, sound and smell of a small but very busy market place. I think these places are socialising places - the generally elderly men and women may not necessarily all shop but the market is a place for them to see their friends.

I decided not to combine the park visit with the Forbidden City but to make the visit a separate one. It was the right decision.

“Know some history to come Tiananmen!"

I stay with Beijingholiday team in my China tour. Say "Thank you!" to all of them.

If you have no knowledge of the cultural importance/history of the square; then you will not see nothing but a big square that can hold 1/2 million people.

Square dates from the 1600's and has more history then the few months of student protest in 1989. It is the centre of Beijing and by default the centre of China.

Take 15 minutes to read up on the history of the square, its connect to the Forbidden City and the buildings surrounding it. It will enrich your experience.

I have travelled to this place many times over the last 10 years. A little knowledge enables my eyes to see much more, versus the average tourist (both domestic and foreign).

If you come to China without even a cursory overview of some of its history; why have you come to a historical place?

““Susan Liu ..... A Great Guide!!!!!!””

We were in Beijing for three days and we hired Miya as our tour guide for two days to take us around the city. We went to see the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace and Great Wall of China all in two days. She planned it extremely well so that it would not feel rushed or hectic. She arranged for a car and driver to take us to Great Wall of China and Summer Palace. She explained the history and culture thoroughly as well as answered all our various and odd questions about the life style and people. She was very friendly and approachable.

We are vegetarian and were worried veg food would be difficult to find. but she made arrangements to find us restaurants where we would get vegetarian food without any hassel. She also took us to the main shopping market and suggested some more places where we could shop on our last day in Beijing. She told us to bargain and start at extremely low prices which we would have not known had she not told us the mark up margins at these markets. She also helped us translate while talking to locals or when we wanted to buy anything. She also speaks good english. She was very helpful & sweet to talk to. She understood if we got tired or were late. She made our trip a great one and she is a great tour guide!

Also her prices are reasonable !

I just wanted to say thank you very much for a wonderful tour to Great China Wall. It was a very pleasant trip. The driver was very professional and the tour Gide was friendly and extremely knowlageble. I definitely would strongly recommend your company to everyone.

Dear Miya,

I am back in Manila. Thanks for the wonderful and unforgettable experience in Beijing and Shanghai.

Snow was very accommodating, she attends to our needs and request. We also met Gong (her husband) and serves as our guide in the last day in Beijing. Snow and Gong provides excellent service to us. They even provide instructions on how to go to the shopping area after our day tour. Gong also made sure that we board the correct train going to Shanghai. I would like to extend my regards to her (Snow) and to her husband (Gong) for that excellent service. I would really recommend your office to my family and friends if they plan to visit Beijing.

About Jennifer (guide in Shanghai), she is very thoughtful. She never fails to ask us about the trip and what are our expectations. She explains very well the places that we are planning to visit. She provides pictures on what to expect in the tour. The group was very happy on how she handles our demands. She even provides suggestions which will help us decide in any matter that concerns our tour.

Over all, we had a very good vacation in China. Your services will truly amaze your clients.

Dear Miya,
I hope everything is well.

Steve and Jeanie Fitzsimmons

Thank you very much for the prior arrangement for the two tours that we took during our trip to Beijing. I like to take this opportunity to highlight the wonderful service rendered by your tour guide, Miya who took us on the Forbidden City/Tiananmen Square tour. She was very friendly, approachable and always helpful. There was even an instance when we decided to book the kungfu performance (held at red theatre) at the very last minute and she volunteered to accede to all arrangement without any hiccups at all. She is a gem to your organization and once again thank you for making our trip such a memorable one! You bet we will definitely recommend Beijing Holidays to our friends! Thank you and regards May
