Hello all my dear friends! "Ni Hao!" Welcome to China and Welcome to Beijing! My name is Alice. I'm not only a licensed tour guide but also eager to give you a wonderful trip! I am a certified intermediate-level English Tour Guide with over 15 years of professional experience in the tourism industry. My Chinese name it means double red. The meaning of the color red in China is good luck and happiness. So I hope our trip will be a wonderful and happy tour. I graduated from Beijing Normal University, and my major is English. I have been a tour guide since 2009. When I become a tour guide I have took part in many important events to give me a deep impression. I took part in the Beijing APEC Conference in 2014 to receive the delegations that come from Cambodia. I took part in the ceremony is the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of The People's Republic of China. During these years, I have guided many groups to Shanghai, Xi'an, Suzhou, Hangzhou, the Three Georges, and so on. I try my best to help all the travelers in my group, such as to help them to take the train or plane, to take assist with their food, life habit, the rooms of hotel. I'm familiar with these popular cities in China very well. In addition, I have traveled to Europe , Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Korea, and so on. I love China’s long‑standing history and rich culture. Beijing is a city over 3000 years old and is one of the oldest civilization countries in the world. Every dynasty has their stories. I wished to share all my stories about this city with you. There is a saying which says "if the wall could speak". When we go to the Great Wall, it will be a strong feeling in our heart. How did the laborers build Wall in 2000 years ago in that hard environment? If the wall in the Forbidden City could be talk, it will tell you the stories of emperors. If the wall in the old city could talk, it will talk to you about local people's life, and the real culture in China. Now, I will be the "old wall in Beijing". I want to show you the beautiful places and tell you the stories of Beijing. What happened here in the past 3000 years. Beijing is the capital of China. It not only has tourist's places, but also a profound cultural connotation in here. For example, the Kongfu show, the acrobatic show or enjoy a tea ceremony in the peaceful afternoon. If you are drawn to spectacular ancient architecture, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Beijing’s highlights, authentic local culture and everyday city life, feel free to reach out to me for your private tour. I’m looking forward to meeting you in Beijing! No messy schedules, no hidden hassles—just pure Beijing magic, one amazing stop at a time. Let’s go!

Overview of your Beijing tour

Do you prefer to see the city via walking or public transport? I strongly suggest you to book this tour. We'll see the main highlights of Beijing at your own pace including the Forbidden City and the old Hutong area. The Forbidden City, which is the biggest and best preserved imperial palace in the whole world. Imagine being in the place where the emperor of China used to be years ago. The feeling is surreal and the garden is breathtaking! Spanning 72 hectares, this huge complex holds more than 900 buildings and over 8,700 rooms. High vermilion walls wrap around the whole palace compound, topped with shining golden glazed tiles. Walking into the hutongs, visitors can escape the fast pace of modern Beijing. Old locust trees, grey brick walls, wooden gates and quiet lanes create a peaceful historic atmosphere. You can still see local residents chatting, walking, drinking tea and living a simple traditional life.

Alice was a fantastic guide and a genuinely warm welcome to our first full day in China. Friendly and considerate from the start, she was clearly passionate about Chinese history and shared it with real depth, not just recited facts. She stayed ahead of the day’s route and the weather, and adapted the itinerary to what our group was actually interested in rather than sticking to a rigid script. Traveling with three teenagers, she was patient and understanding with them throughout, keeping things engaging without ever feeling rushed. She consistently went above and beyond with logistics and comfort, making for a great start to our time in Beijing. Highly recommend her to any family or group visiting the Forbidden City.

Alice is the most caring and reliable guide we’ve ever met! She helped us patiently with ticket booking and communication issues, making everything smooth and worry-free. Her explanations were lively and insightful, even my 75 year old mom enjoyed every moment. When some sites were restricted, Alice even prepared printed photos to show us the interiors, such a thoughtful touch. She’s truly professional, warm-hearted, and deserves more than five stars!

Alice was most informative as well as kind and warm. She gave us an experience in Beijing that we could not have done on our own. Great way to see Hutong and its sites with good walking pace. Picked out a nice family owned restaurant for a late lunch. Highly recommend her.

Our private tour of the Forbidden City with Sunny was fantastic! Sunny's kindness, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of the site brought history to life in an engaging way. She had incredible energy, guiding us through the vast grounds with stories and insights that kept us captivated. Sunny made it a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

My tour guide was Alice Chen ... Alice is a wonderful guide ... her deep knowledge of Beijing, its history and landmarks are very impressive and a credit to her profession ... her friendly and cheerful personality made the tour with her one of the great highlights of my trip to China ... Lily went way beyond the call of duty by helping me ship some museum guides from Beijing back to me in Toronto, Canada ... I recommend her services wholeheartedly and 100% !!!
