Alexandra was a fantastic guide, she taught me many things about the history of China as we toured the sights. She was friendly, personable, and easy to chat with. She made sure that I understood our timelines and helped me plan my next day in Beijing.

The summer palace was beautiful and definitely worth the visit. Alexandra enjoys telling all the legends about past emperors, their wives, their concubines and the eunuchs who were all involved in palace intrigue. She tries to bring their stories to life as you walk through these ancient buildings.

We had the best day with Alex . She is very professional speaks perfect English and is a wealth of information. We went to the best part of the Great Wall she explained all the choices and let us make up our minds. We choice the lift and toboggan down it was the greatest! I am still smiling! Thank you Alex!
