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.
