Clear filterBest tour operator we ever had!
Published on May, 2024
Sunflower and the guide Maggie were the best tour operators we have ever had. I would rate 8 stars if I could! Sunflower was very flexible in working with us to adjust the itinerary to our preferences. We saw Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, Lama Temple, Wudaoying Hutong and Houhai Hutongs. Maggie was a fantastic guide, she was knowledgeable, competent, and kind. Maggie was an expert in both the history and cultural background of the sites, as well as all the best places to take photos. It cannot be overstated how valuable that is — tourist spots in Beijing will always be very busy and Maggie knew the best places and moments to snap a good picture. She was also incredibly hard working, we started at 8am and finished around 5pm, both at our hotel. Maggie would have had to commute to and from on both ends! I have never encountered a tour guide so generous with their time. I hope Maggie got a good day of rest the next day! We had lunch at a local Beijing restaurant and Maggie helped us order to our tastes, including accommodating a vegetarian in our group. The lunch, admission, and all car rides were included in the cost. Maggie handled all the car hailing, always in a premium private car. We were very lucky to have found Sunflower and Maggie. While we are outsiders to Beijing, we are familiar with China and the possibility of being taken advantage of as tourists. It can be hard to know, even from carefully reading reviews, whether a tour operator is quality. We even had this happen with a different tour operator in Beijing who cheaped out on the included lunch, and wasted our time trying to sell us tea, not to mention having a far worse disposition and attitude. And this was in spite of seemingly positive reviews! I feel that with Sunflower and Maggie, because they are a small business with a personal brand, they hold themselves to a higher level of accountability. They also don’t have any kickback schemes with expensive shops for gullible foreigners. They make money only from you, and their continued business depends on their good reputation. When we come back to China in the future, we will be working with Sunflower and Maggie for all our tours/experiences.

Sensational Sunflower!
Published on May, 2019
We highly recommend Sunflower's Tours! My husband and I booked Sunflower for 2 days of private tours. The first was Tian'namen Square and The Forbidden City. We were immediately taken with Sunflower's warm friendly personality, her knowledge of Beijing and her love for her city was infectious. We appreciated the high quality of cars and drivers on both tour days. At The Forbidden City having her as our guide we whizzed passed the very long lines and she was able to take us to the best vantage points to see all on offer as well as tell us all about the history. The Great Wall, Mutianyu, was our highlight and once again Sunflower tailored the tour as she knew we wanted to get to the highest point we could go, Gate 20. She knows the Wall so well, so we got taken to the best view points and as a result got some incredible photos. It was a pleasure to spend two days with such a lovely person, we feel as if we have a friend in Beijing when we next return and look forward to seeing more of Beijing next time.

Sunflower is the most informative and energetic and professional tour guides. She knows so much about about the history of China as well as current information. We really enjoyed spending time with Sunflower and had a great time. Highly recommended.
Sunflower Rocks!
Published on Nov, 2018
Myself and a few work colleagues used Sunflower for a 2 day tour package of Beijing while we were in town for business meetings. Sunflower exceeded all of our expectations! She has an infectiously positive attitude, a great knowledge of the city of Beijing and history of China, knows the geography, and was very organized with respect to timing of transportation (her driver was great too), meals, shopping, etc. She speaks very good English, which is helpful in a country where most people do not speak the language. Sunflower was also very reasonably priced. We had a great time and would highly recommend Sunflower for your tour guide needs. I would absolutely use her again!
