I recently travelled to Beijing and hired Skye to be my private guide. She was a terrific resource from the first email. She met me at my hotel the morning of. During the tour I was particularly impressed by: - Her knowledge of the history of the sites -- very in depth and able to answer lots of my esoteric... More

It's difficult to write anything better than has already been written. My wife and I have been with Skye for the last two days and as a guide she is the best and as a person she is wonderful. Great English, very knowledgable and a fabulous personality with a terrific sense of humour and fun. The first day we did... More

If you want a private guide in Beijing you should definitely choose Skye. She knows very interesting places and stories, not only the most touristic ones. She is very friendly and helpfull as well. Walking in Beijing with her is a real pleasure and from first day you feel like she is a part of your friends.

My wife and I had a short time to see the sights in Beijing -- and to do some shopping. Skye helped us put an itinerary together, arranged the driver, stayed with us throughout the day, provided advice when appropriate and made sure we saw what we wanted. Perfectly customized. She even helped us sample some of the different food... More

We had Skye as our private guide on a one Day trip to The Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Skye is great! My husband and I are travelling with our two kids (2 and 5 years old) and that means that everything takes a little bit ekstra time. Skye paid a lot off attention to our kids needs e.g.... More

I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in Beijing and decided to see what sites I could. Skye communicated quickly and efficiently via email. She accommodated my request to use public transportation (subway, bus, and taxi) while seeing the sites in Beijing and avoided all the shopping stuff (this alone was worth the private guide). Using public... More

We recently used Skye's services to guide us around Beijing for a free day prior to a Viking River Cruise trip around China. We chose places that we wouldn't see on our tour. Skye was prompt, reasonable, had a great driver to transport us around Beijing (and we only realized how good after having been subjected to many bad drivers... More

It was back in September 2012 that we (a group of 4 friends) decided to organize a trip to Beijing and Shanghai in the beginning of March 2013. We communicated with quite a few guides for our stay in Beijing, but quite fast settled down to Mrs. Skye Gao. It turned out that our inner feelings were not blended and... More

I emailed Skye a few days before arriving in Beijing and arranged for her to give me a tour of the city. What Skye showed me on 2 days would have taken me weeks to figure out on my own. She will take you exactly where you want to go. She is honest, friendly and highly knowledgable. I unreservedly reccomen... More

We were recently traveling in the Beijing area and used Skye as our guide. What a gem this little lady turned out to be! We will remember her forever for her brightness, fun, knowledge and whit! We have travelled extensively over the years, but SKYE is the best guide we have ever had. Hope we meet again one day Skye.... More
