Travel Beijing, See It On Your Terms


Since starting our website, we have been pleased and surprised to see that our travelers are finding us from all corners of the globe. Although we have been in travel business for many years, we did not know what to expect when we decided to build and publish a website. It has turned out to be a wonderful decision, and a learning experience for us also. Travel should be about real exposure to the culture and thoughts of others. It should not be about just checking off your list the sights seen. You will soon forget the statistics and facts from guide books, but you will always remember the feelings you will get from taking the time to enjoy the places you have been. That is the advantage of a private tour, customized to what you want to do. It is also the advantage of independent travel.


We believe in serendipity. It is really some of travel's most memorable moments. We would like to provide you with the opportunity to experience serendipity.


We have been building some new web pages for walking tours, and soon will be adding more. The hutongs and the Great Wall are two of the best places in or near Beijing to take a walking tour. If that isn't your style, but you still want to experience Beijing more at your own pace, consider customizing your tour. Whether you call it custom travel or tailor-made tour in your part of the world, it is a great way to explore Beijing your way. A lot of people think if they see a city using a private tour, it will be expensive. That is far from the truth.


One of our services that has been under-utilized has been our cell-mobile phone rental with support service. This is a great option for those travelers who want to be totally independent and see Beijing on their own. It is also great for those travelers who do want to take some tours, but also want some free time to explore some other places they have heard about. This takes the uncertainty out of exploring. Call us whenever you need some help getting around the city. We can help you organize your day, tell taxi drivers where to go, suggest restaurants in the area you find yourself in; and if you think you are lost, we can help you get back to where you want to be. Besides that, you can call your home country at an extremely reasonable rate.


We are glad that we have joined the travel industry on the Internet. The people we are meeting have broadened our world also. Serendipity goes both ways.

Beijing-Tibet Tour, Visit the Roof of the World


We have sent some of our travelers to Tibet after their Beijing tour, or as part of their China tour. However, we have not as yet put it on our website.
We are now working on adding several different tours. Beijing is the main entrance and exit for many of the travelers who visit China every year. Because we have seen more of our clients who visit Beijing wanting to visit Tibet, we are adding several combination Beijing-Tibet tours. We are going to combine our Classic 3 Day Beijing Tour, our Classic Beijing 2 Day Tour, or our 1 Day Beijing Tour with three different choices of Tibet tours. Since more and more travelers to China are considering visiting the major cities, like Beijing, as independent travelers, we are also recommending our cell-mobile phone service. It provides human travel support service. Just rent a cell phone from us, and call us for help with any questions you might have while in Beijing. Then we will send you to Tibet and help you plan your Tibet tour. We have been told that Beijing and Tibet are the two favorite places that our clients have visited. More about Tibet in a later blog post.
