Guide #5474

A great vacation begins with a great tour guide. Hello, I am Sonia - your reliable local guide in Beijing. Originally, I became a tour guide because I love traveling, hiking and exploring. Along the way, I found that I really enjoy sharing insights and stories with people. From my own travels, I truly believe that a great guide—someone who loves their city and cares about their visitors—can make a trip so much more special and memorable. A happy vacation is not just about the destination, but also the people you meet along the way. I can be your travel planner, consultant, and personal guide. I am confident that I can help you have a great time during your stay in Beijing! My services include: 1. Great Wall Tours: I offer a variety of Great Wall experiences—walking, hiking, and trekking. The Great Wall around Beijing stretches about 600 kilometers, and I've personally explored about 400 kilometers of it. I always make sure to leave enough time for you to truly soak it in, explore at your own pace, and capture those perfect photos. It's a memory you'll cherish forever—guaranteed! -Mutianyu Great Wall; -Jinshanling Great Wall; -Gubeikou Panlongshan Great Wall; -Simatai Great Wall, etc. 2. Top Attractions in Beijing: I have a deep understanding of China's history, culture, and philosophy—and I've witnessed Beijing's incredible changes over the decades. Today, I know the city inside and out. -the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven. -Yonghegong Lama Temple, Bell and Drum Towers, Confucius Temple and Imperial College, Beihai Park. -798 Art Zone, Bird Nest and Water Cube. 3. Hutong and Walking Tours in Old Beijing: Discover Beijing off the beaten path: ancient hutongs, local markets, hidden restaurants, and the daily life of the city—through the eyes of a local. -Nanluoguxiang Hutong, Wudaoying Hutong, -Huohai Lake, Lotus Market; -Yandaixiejie; -Qianmen Pedestrian Street, Liulichang Cultural Street. 4. Beijing's Countryside Highlights: -Ming Tombs; -Gubei Water Town; -Cuandixia Village. 5. I incorporate food culture into all my tours: Discovering authentic local eats is an integral part of the journey. If you like discovering the best food in Beijing, I can take you to authentic local restaurants that match your tastes. Please don’t hesitate to inform me of any dietary preferences or restrictions. 6. Other Options: 1) Special Performances: Acrobatics show, Kung Fu show, and Peking Opera show. 2) Specialty Shopping Markets: Hongqiao Market, Silk Market. 7. Safe and Dedicated Driver: I provide clean, comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles tailored to your group size. All vehicles are professionally maintained for your safety and comfort. All tours will be custom tailored to your preferences. In fact you can even mix and match. See two tours you like? Combine them. Our common goal is you will see what you really want to see. Larger groups welcome! For 10+ guests, please message me for a quote. Welcome to Beijing! I am looking forward to working with you---helping you experience the highlights of Beijing and the essence of Chinese culture.

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Beijing with Sonia. What impressed me most was how much effort she put into understanding what I wanted to see and experience, rather than simply taking me through the usual tourist attractions. From the moment I contacted her, she was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and flexible. She planned our time around my...

    When I asked Chat gpt to find a guide for our group of 8 including 4 young kids Sonia came up nr. 1 and for a good reason. I would 100% recommend her and any of her tours. We went early to see the Great Wall before the crowds arrived and it was so worth it. Read no further, book Sonia!:)
