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.

It's a memory you'll cherish forever—guaranteed! -Mutianyu Great Wall; -Jinshanling Great Wall; -Gubeikou Panlongshan Great Wall; -Simatai Great Wall, etc. 2.

We had a wonderful two days with Sonia. She was punctual, knowledgeable, and helped us customize our visit to work well with our tight schedule.
It was a pleasure to visit Beijing with Sonia. We are a family group of 7 and she was very flexible to adapt our 2 day tour to the needs and rythm of 3 young kids.
We very much enjoyed the tours organized by Sonia. She explained things well and had all the details worked out. She also took us to a yummy restaurant for lunch. We highly recommend her. We actually stayed an extra day beyond the two tour days and she helped us figure out what to do for that day as well.
Sonia was excellent!!!
Sonia was very efficient and flexible regarding our tour. I would highly recommend her. My suggestion to make the experience more educational would be that Sonia address the entire group in the tour at each site giving an overview of the history and relevance of the site. She was welcome to questions but never gave specific information to all of us at each place. Her English was very good.
