We booked a 2 day custom tour given that my 80 year old mother has special needs that could not easily be accommodated by the ship’s excursions available to us at our port of call.
We wanted the convenience of the bullet train and the ability to customize our tour any way we chose—mainly to offer us a slower pace.
The transfers went flawless between the port and meeting our guide, Coco, in Beijing.
Our guide was fantastic. Coco was completely empathetic and caring towards working with my mother. She arranged accessible options, western styled toilets, wheelchairs, and the use of lifts to make it possible for my mother to enjoy the most of what Beijing had to offer.
Not only did this allow my mother to enjoy herself, but it eased the burden off myself so I could also have a great time, knowing my mother’s needs were being looking after by Coco.
I recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personalized experience in Beijing! And hopefully you’ll be as lucky as we were to get Coco as your guide.
