From the meeting point Roy provided a tour that was informative and without issues. He escorted us through process of purchasing tickets to enter the temple complex and then gave the group background on the buildings and the history their purpose. He tailored the timing to the group's interest and was always willing to offer up more information. Thank you for a wonderful morning!

Great tour! The place is amazing! And Roy is a natural guide that loves sharing with the tourists an important number of historical facts that made us appreciate Beijing and the Chinese history in a lovable context! Thank you Roy for providing such a good service to non-Chinese tourists and with such a good English level, which we did not easily find during our holidays in China. Thank you!

We had a great tour with Roy in the Summer Palace. He shared an important number of historical facts that made the visit of this incredible place very enjoyable! We can see how much he loves his job and the Chinese history! We really appreciate that in Beijing he is the only one offering until now these type of tours on “free walking format” (remunerated based on the appreciation of the participants) in English for non-Chinese tourists!

Since we loved the Hutong Tour so much, we decided to make this tour with Roy. As people who had little background of the Chinese history, we loved this historical data filled tour. It really gives you a global vision of the place and it's history (essentially what is expected from a tour), with plenty of time to sit, take pics and many anecdotes of the life and customs of the Chinese people. Entry is not included, but it's 30-60 yuangs depending on how many inside "private" buildings you wanna visit. Roy's English is perfect. Definitely recommend!!!!

Roy loves the history and knows a lot. Great tour, he took us through the Hutong in slow and casual pace. Sharing fun facts and tips. Good tour to do early in your trip if you want good tips for things to see/do/eat.

Roy was so easy to talk to, easy to understand and full of great information. Made my wife and I really understand and appreciate the Chinese Culture, both old and new. I would recommend him to anyone!

- Langweilig...
Chinas tausendjährige Geschichte kann sich jeder detailliert in seinem gedruckten Reiseführer oder Internet in seiner Sprache anschauen, dafür brauche ich keinen Reiseführer.
Wenn, dann einmal kurz Fakt erwähnen, gut. Nicht 4 Mal wiederholen....
Was in Peking interessiert ist
- Fakten und Anekdoten zu dem Viertel wo man gerade ist
- sich spätestens alle paar Minuten weiterbewegen
- persönliche Erlebnisse von Roy oder "normalen" Pekingern
- Insider Hinweise/ Verweise auf Dinge, die man sich später selbst anschauen könnte
Lieber Roy, ich würde mir wünschen, kürzere Stopps zu machen und mehr lustige interessante witzige Fakten von dir zu hören, die ich mir nicht selbst anlesen kann, sondern die nur ein echter Bewohner von Peking kennt. Außerdem reicht es, wenn man Zahlen nur einmal erwähnt. Bei vierfacher Wiederholung der Daten zur Yuan -Dynastie kam ich mir doch sehr wie in der Schule vor.
+ Ich mochte deine guten Englischkenntnisse und der Startort und die Route waren gut gewählt!
