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.

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.

Overview of your Beijing tour

This tour is the perfect choice for those who want to experience Beijing’s absolute must-see highlights efficiently, comfortably, and with the undivided attention of a personal guide. Mutianyu Great Wall offers an extremely beautiful natural landscape. A walk on the Wall offers you the unique experience of appreciating both the majesty of the structure itself and the beauty of the landscape that embraces it. I always make sure my clients have enough time to walk, reflect, and take pictures. In the afternoon, we will visit the Forbidden City. As the largest and best-preserved imperial palace complex on earth, it presents a stunning contrast: vast squares and grand halls alongside intricate gardens, courtyards, and living quarters. To truly grasp its scale and beauty, you simply have to experience it firsthand! Come and explore with me! I would love to show you these two World Heritage Sites in one day.
