Habiendo vivido en Pekín casi toda mi vida, he presenciado de primera mano la increíble transformación de la ciudad. Como videógrafo, pasé años capturando las historias de Pekín con mi lente. Ahora, como guía, puedo compartir estas historias en vivo: la historia, los cambios y las joyas ocultas que hacen de esta ciudad algo tan especial.
A nice mix of a look into daily life as well as some historic temples easily missed. Would highly recommend. April is very knowledgeable and has good tips for other places to visit in Bejing.
China has a lot to see as Beijing but this tour guide was awful. April the guide is flat out rude and sarcastic. Don’t ask in a rude tone why I’m wearing a mask. It’s not your business. You live in China! Have you never seen a mask on a Chinese in China? Then when I said for sun protection and to not get sick she rudely stated, YOU GUYS DONT WEAR MASK FOR SUN. Truly! Lady you are inappropriate and obnoxiously rude. So the other guy said we do to her! But that did not hold back more weard rude glares at me and sarcasm. Maybe she is uncomfortable about woman who are attractive and comfortable in their skin. April is not a happy human being and it’s palpable because her attitude is awful. I’ve been to 135 countries now and have done so many walking tours. This was the most uncomfortable tour and awful one ever because of her. I did another one in Beijing 2 days ago with guru and it was excellent. And no wonder there was only one other person on this walking tour. This lady has zero personality and no sense of humor which is required. And keep cultural jabs out of walking tours please; in other wards do not make generalizations about Americans or any culture for that matter . It’s not appropriate nor is it good etiquette and it’s rude. She like a dementor in the Harry Potter series. Sucks the joy out of the room. I arrived late and I miss she told me not to come. It was a waste of my time and I tipped her even so much she’s not worth any tip. Be kind to tourist April.
April was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and professional. We really enjoyed this tour.
Wonderful tour. April was very kind, thoughtful and informative. I learnt so much!
Don't miss this Beijing tour! April is a very experienced guide and sets the scene on the people and places in Beijing that were integral to the revolutionary history of China. The tour helped me fill the gaps in my knowledge and gave me a deeper appreciation of the people of China.
