2 AMAZING DAYS - HIGHLIGH TOUR IN BEIJIN WITH DEMI!!
We done a 2 days tour in Beijing with our guide Demi. We managed to tick everything off the must do list: Tian’anmen Square, tthe Forbidden City, Hutong area, the Great Wall visit, Summer Palace.Temple of heaven with the retired people all exercising... We covered all the major attractions.
We were delighted with Demi. Her English is flawless -we can't say the same with ours :) - and we were able to have a joke with her. She's a funny guy but also very conversant and a wonderful host. I especially loved her easy-going. Her reponse time is superquick and is willing to assist with all queries you might have.
Her knowledge of Chinese history, and the evolution of the City of Beijing over the years, is immense and shared in a way that is comprehensible and hugely interesting. Tickets were mostly prearranged, or purchased on-site by Demi, who knew exactly how to negotiate the crowds and lines, and this maximized efficiency during this busy itinerary. She even pointed out the best spots for photos at each site. The whole tour was well organised wiht local drivers and clean and modern vans.
We stopped for lunch at Chinese Muslims style restaurant that was very clean and excellent quality. (I’m still thinking about the delicious green beans that Demi recommended we order!) Instead of taking us to a fancy restaurant, Demi selected wonderful, local place where the food was sheer and not touristic, and we appreciated it
By the end of the tour, we felt like she was part of the family!
We enthusiastically recommend Demi to anyone touring Beiging- We couldn't have asked for a better guide.
