Vivie does a great job helping plan and deliver what is needed. My first day was with Jenny, an english speaking driver. I wanted to visit a number of shopping areas and didn't need a tour but someone that could help me navigate. I had District 798, Panjiayuan market (antiques) and the Pearl Mkt on my list. Jenny met me at the airport. I had challenges with a money order and Jenny navigated for me and added time at end of tour. She was a wonderful person and tour guide. I highly recommend!

Vivie is terrific. Super accommodating and helpful with everything we wanted to do--including trying to find details about obscure skate parks in Beijing! Though she was unable to guide us, she set us up with happy, friendly Cindy who met us at the train station and took us everywhere on our list that we wanted to go! Highly recommend Vivie and her team!

Excellent service. Lotus the guide and Wong the driver were fantastic. Lucy is knowledgeable and very entertaining. They were always on time and were very flexible with the schedule. When going from one site to the next we never waited for more than a couple of minutes to be picked up, no delays, The restaurants Lucy recommended were very good, we enjoyed our lunches while on the tour. If we go back to Beijing for a second visit we will definitely use Vivie's services again.

Although Vivie wasn't available due to her pregnancy she did plan a great itinerary including dinner reservations at one of the best Peking Duck restaurants in town. Her associate, Murphy, was an experienced guide and we spent two full days exploring Beijing with my family of four including two 10 years olds. We saw Multianyu Great Wall, Tian'anmen, Forbidden City, the Beijing Zoo and rode the rickshaws to see the Old Beijing Hutongs. She also arranged a fun dumpling and noodle cooking class!

Our flight arrived 1.5 hours late at almost 2:00AM in Beijing. What a welcome sight to see my name printed on a paper and held up by our guide. He was courteous, helpful, he took us to our hotel and then to the Great Wall of China. All in all a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

You can't ask for a better guide to show you the Great Wall and the wonders of Beijing. Her recommendations for dining and sightseeing were perfect. We loved meeting her and her family too. Thank you, Vivie for a memorable day!!

Vivie organised an airport pickup for us, tour, and later in the week an airport drop off. All of these were first class with friendly people, safe drivers, really looking after us. On our one day tour we saw the great wall and summer palace. Linda our guide had fantastic english, very friendly, looking out for us with local knowledge. We had such a great time. Highly recommended!

Our experience with Vivie was above expectations. She picked us up from the airport upon arrival that is situated at the hotel in the next day we went to the Great Wall and the summer palace. The following day we were able to go to the hutongs in Beijing as well as the Tiananmen Square and the forbidden city. She was very engaging in explaining the history behind our experience. I would certainly recommend Vivie!

Vivie was amazing! We had a layover in Beijing and wanted to see the Great Wall. In preparation for our trip, she was very helpful in handling the details and emailing me quickly. We got to the Wall at 7:30 a.m. and were the only ones there. It was amazing to be on the wall by ourselves. Vivie allowed us good time and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Her English was very good and she made the trip memorable. Highly recommend Vivie!!!

My family recently visited Beijing. At the last minute I booked a tour with Vivie. She was not available, but arranged for Linda and Lucy to guide us around. Both Linda and Lucy were very personable and informative. We covered a lot in 3 days. I was very appreciative of Vivie's quick response to my initial inquiry and lining up the guides for us. Everything worked out so well. I hope to make another trip to Beijing at some point in the future and would certainly contact Vivie again.

We only had 2 full days in Beijing but Vivie provided us with a memorable experience to get the most value from the time available. Her knowledge, friendliness, good English, driving skills, the ability to short cut long queues & recommendations re restaurants meant our Beijing experience was outstanding. We have made a good friend too. Just brilliant!

Vivie was a wonderful tour guide for our group of three. She easily handled a couple of late itinerary changes and was a perfect balance of engaged and allowing us time to ourselves. Vivie's English was great with me and the kids and she was patient with my chinese. We will definitely use Vivie again when we return to China.Thank you. Todd

Vivie Pan was an excellent tour guide, could not have asked for more and would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to have a private guide in Beijing and surrounds. Her local knowledge and knowledge of the history and culture was excellent. Because of this we were able to see and understand a lot more about the culture of Beijing than if we had gone on a large group tour. Thanks Vivie for being a great guide and we now feel we have a friend in Beijing.

Vivie is an excellent tour guide. She's very knowledgeable about every aspect, from history, culture, food and getting around this huge, complex city. She is friendly, easy going and has great connections that make your trip go smoothly. Vivie made sure that we were able to visit all of our key destinations, and even stayed late to get us to a wonderful evening acrobatic performance.We will remember our trip fondly. Thank you Vivie!

I could not secure Vivie but she provided an excellent alternate guide, Rita Ren. Communication leading up to the tour was excellent and the tour experience continued with great service! I even had two friends want to join the great wall tour last minute so Rita and team was able to secure a larger vehicle to accommodate the additional people. Rita was a delight and listened to our feedback when we requested to dine in more of a traditional area and her recommendations were excellent.

Vivie was a great guide. We were a family of four with 2 kids aged 9 and 12. We arranged a day tour of the Wall and Forbidden City. Vivie even arranged acrobatics show tickets and transfer to the airport. The local restaurant she took us to was our favorite meal. Vivie is easy to talk to and overall a very knowledgable tour guide. We were very pleased with our experience. We wish her all the best!

Vivie was great in any respect; thank you Vivie you made our stay really exceptional! Me and my mom had 2 days booked with her mid-April 2016. We did 1 day tour to great wall and summer palace and 2nd day beijing city tour with the most important sights. Vivie is very attentive, helpful, punctual, knowledgable and has a good sense of humor. It is also great advantage that she is driving her own car while she can already tell you a lot of interesting things. We highly recommend her.

Vivie was a fantastic guide on our first "whirlwind" visit to Beijing. She gave a great commentary for all of the sites that we visited including the Forbidden City and Hutongs and even managed to arrange clear blue skies and nearly no other tourists on our visit to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Vivie's van was extremely comfortable and her recommendations of the best place to go for Peking Duck was spot on. All in all a fantastic trip and we highly recommend Vivie if you are touring Beijing.

I would give Vivie 7 stars if I could. She was excellent, comprehensive, knowledgeable, friendly, organized. I booked a tour for 12 (ages 8 to 80). She and a driver picked us up from the ship at Tianjin port, took us to the Great Wall at Mutianyu where you can take a ski lift up and toboggan down. Then we toured the Summer Palace before getting dropped off at our hotel. She made everything so pleasant and enjoyable. She even arranged for the driver to take us to the airport, two days later.

Vivie was an excellent tour guide! She was very knowledgeable, professional, fun and kind. My husband and I visited Beijing recently along with 3 of our adult children and used her as our guide. We were able to visit all the sites we had on our list despite only having 1 1/2 days for our stay. Vivie arranged a meal and rides from and to the airport for us as well. Her pricing is reasonable and her car very comfortable. We highly recommend her!

My wife and I visited Bejing for 8 nights in October and used Vivie for 4 of those days. Her English was excellent with no problem understanding her or she us. Even for the days she did not guide us she helped us with rail tickets, show tickets, taxi info, shopping etc. She used "insider" shortcuts to help us avoid lines and delays at major sites. She also connected us with an excellent guide for Xian. We can't recommend her highly enough. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN ANY WAY! USE HER!!Hi, Scott

We used a number of private guides during our trip to Asia. Vivie was one of the best. She was very prompt and helpful during our initial email conversation and helped us put together a great itinerary for our three day stay in Beijing. In fact, she recommended a less crowded part of the Great Wall and our hike along it was one of the best days ever, anywhere. During your stay in Beijing, you can count on Vivie to be prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. You simply can't go wrong with Vivie.

It being the first time in Beijing for some of my family members - none of whom speak Mandarin fluently - we engaged Vivie for three days. She's an experienced guide who saved us time and money on multiple occasions. She also brought us to hidden gems less frequented by tourists within Mutianyu and the Summer Palace. Overall, we were impressed by her professionalism, and by her warm and caring nature. It was well worth it to engage Vivie - it was a pleasure to have her with us!

The Perfect guide. We went to the Great Wall early to avoid the crowds, and had the Wall to ourselves for over an hour! Special photos! Saw everything we wanted and ate at the best restaurants. She even helped with train tickets and walked us through the station and made sure our ticket was right and we were in the correct waiting room. If you are going to Beijing, don't hesitate book Vivie. She is the best. Wish I could have had Vivie for the whole trip! Can't recommend her more highly. Perfect!

A long overdue review. Vivie made the Beijing trip in April so much nicer for us. She is very organized and friendly who takes care of you very well. Besides showing us around, she helped us book show tickets, spa slots and even took us shopping at local markets! Really appreciate the small things that she took care of without asking. Don't think twice and just book with her and she will make all effort to make your trip memorable. I think I met a friend rather than a guide! Thanks Vivie!

Excelent tour and great person. I was able to see much more that what I expected thanks to Vivie recommendation. She is very reliable and eventhough I ran into problems to get out of the airport, she was patience and I'm very happy I booked her because another tour guide may have not been as patience. Ps. Don't miss the salad at the pekin duck restaurant... I'm glad I listen to Vivian and ordered...was soooo good.

Vivie was outstanding and went well beyond what we might have expected. Her English was first class, she is bright, amusing, articulate and enormously helpful. Aside from the touring of the various icons of Beijings she always took us to great lunch restaurants - ate far too much - where where she seemed to manage to get past the queues given the Autumn holiday crowds. Amazingly - possibly because Vivie 'prayed' - the last 2 days were crystal clear so the views from The Wall were spectacular.Thank you for the wonderful review, Tess. It was very very nice to meet your group in Beijing.

We only had one day to tour Beijing. Vivie was a great guide as we visited The Great Wall, Tinnamen Square,Temple of Heaven, The Hutongs and we also managed to having peking duck at a local restaurant for lunch. Vivie was very informative in regards to the culture, politics and sites of Beijing. Vivie had no complaints about walking up the wall with us even though she does this every two days or so and it was very hot. I would definitely recommend Vivie to anyone who wants to see Beijing.Thank you so much for the wonderful review. And it was so nice to meet you and your parents in Beijing.

Vivie provided us with a three day tour of Beijing and it was GREAT! She planned things so well we often missed the busy crowds (even during peak times). Each tour was on our time table - never rushed. She took us to local places to eat. She allowed for extended pitcure taking and even was our photographer for our family pictures. Her English is great, as well as her driving.(I can not say enough about having a tour guide that provides private transportation.)

We chanced upon Vivie's service whilst surfing for private ground tour package and decided to try it out. It was a great decision as Vivie was great, being able to communicate in Mandarin to my mother-in-law and the rest of us in English, making sure nobody missed out on the interesting history that Beijing has to offer. She was great with the details in making sure our tour was enjoyable from touring to eating to shopping whilst being flexible and ensuring our comfort at all times.

We do visited so many places on 10th Aug.. But the schedule is not tight at all.

It's no accident that Vivie is Viatour's highest-rated Beijing guide. She met us at the airport, took us to the Great Wall (Mutianyu), on to the Ming tombs and back into Beijing. She drove her own car and drove it well. Next day was aroung Beijing on foot - train, taxis and bus. T Square and the Forbidden City the highlights. Also the full Peking Duck lunch banquet at a very good price. Vivie's English is excellent and her knowledge is amazing - you will not find a better guide. Book ahead.Thank you , Mike.

Vivie provided an excellent tour. She knows when to stay with you, and when you want some time to go and explore by yourself. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a good insight into the sights of Beijing.

Vivie was a wonderful guide in Beijing. We spent three days touring with her and she did a terrific job of organizing our travels and helping us see the highlights of the area. She was professional, well-informed, spoke English well and made our days fun, informative and memorable. She has her own car and is a careful driver. I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking a tour guide in Beijing.

We had fantastic experiences - Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City, the Great Wall, etc. We really felt Vivie tried to give us the ‘real’ Beijing, offering lots of knowledge and insights. She readily accepted our requests. Vivie is a bright, personable young woman, with excellent English, a lovely nature and humour. She was reliable, punctual and very knowledgeable. We felt very confident and happy in her hands. We had a wonderful two days and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Vivie is the best possible choice for anyone visiting her area of China. You can pay less for other guides and most likely you will see less, learn less and have a less than stellar experience. With Vivie you get far more of a person than you could put a price on and an experience vastly more than you pay for. I would gladly give a reference for Vivie if she asked and look forward to seeing he on my next trip to China

Vivie was fantastic! We only had eight hours with her on a layover in Beijing and she made every second count :) She was organized, friendly and knowledgeable. She really listens to your wants and makes as much happen as she can. Our day in Beijing would not have been the same without her. We would hire her again in a second. Thank you for all the great photos and memories Vivie :) Sincerely Vanessa and Dylan, NB Canada

Vivie was fantastic! She was very accomodating and flexible with our schedule. I live in China and my wife and youngest child, 17 months, came for a visit. We had Vivie for two full days and saw so many wonderful things. The best thing was how good Vivie was with our son. He was not handling the time change very well and was difficult to manage but Vivie helped out more than we could have ever asked. I highly recommend using Vivie. And please, just call her, she loves the personal touch.Thank you again, Scott.

Vivie was fantastic!!! She was very responsive from the first contact, wanted to be certain that we saw what was important to us, tailored the day as we went along to see everything, was very knowledgable and informative. A perfect guide! We highly recommend her. And she has her own car and is an excellent driver, which is a plus. We would definitely use her services again! Joyce and Mary

My boyfriend and I recently toured Beijing and used Vivie as our tour guide. She was amazing! She took us to see the sights and explained to us the rich history and the prevalent modern thinking. As she told us about her life, we came away with real insight into what it is like to live in China today. She's great! Our schedule had changed in the days immediately before we flew to China and Vivie had commitments for some of our revised schedule. She coordinated another quality guide and made our trip perfect. See you again in Beijing!

It was my good fortune to book Vivie Pan for 3 October days. A more charming and helpful guide I'd be hard pressed to find. Warm, inviting, effervescent and positive were the emotions Vivie projected through the booking, making my first 3 days in China a delight. Easily this skilled aide helped establish the basics I needed for business. As a perfect hostess Mrs. Pan welcomed a last minute addition and escorted the pair of us to notable sites. This guide is one of China's treasures.

Vivie is a great guide and my wife, our two daughters aged 10 and 8 years old and I had a wonderful time in Beijing in August 2011 thanks to her. Upon our arrival, she first confirmed by email our meting the following day which was quite reassuring after arranging the trip a few months earlier. On the first day and based on the weather forecast, she suggested to change the program: with also a bit of luck, we managed to visit the great wall on a day with amazing clear blue sky! She is also veryI like your two girls so much. They are so sweet. Best Wishes to your family.

I can not express how good and knowledgeable Vivie is. We hired her and her car for two days, she took us to Mutinya Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City and the old Hutongs. Vivie speaks great English and offers some great ideas, listen to her and take her hints. She took my wife and mates wife shopping to the Pearl Market and they all had a great time. Vivie is a must in such a huge place, she was punctual and very pleasant. Thanks Vivie from your Aussie Friends.

Vivie is the perfect tour guide in every respect. Reading her reviews, I was confident she would be very good. But she was so much more. Touring Beijing with Vivie was like being shown a foreign city by a good friend/relative. She is so knowledgeable about the history of the sites, culture & Beijing in general. She was genuinely excited about sharing Beijing with us, and made sure we experienced the best of it in the 3 days we had. I recommend her without a single reservation. Love Vivie!It's my pleasure to show you and your girl friend around in Beijing. And thanks for the nice photos.

Where I start to describe Vivie? I choose Vivie from Our Explorer at the last minute as my wife and I wanted to take a trip to the Great Wall,etc. I chose correct !!! Vivie took to my wife and I as a friend, very knowledgeable and knows Beijing very well. As well as the wall we visited the Olympic site, had Peking Duck lunch and took a trip to a porcelain museum. What a fantastic day !!! Thank you Miss Beijing !! Philip and Julie Davis (UK)

Perfect tour guide and perfect experience. My wife and I are from the United States both of us are in the 70's. We used Vivie to pick us up and deliver us to the aiport as well as two days of touring in and around Beijing. She has a new car and is a fine driver as well as an accomplished guide. She is kind, honest, thoughtfull and punctual. I would not hesitate to use her again or in recommending her to others

Vivie is a pleasant well knowledgeable on Beijing. Very flexible tour guide, who is prepared to provide package that suites your needs, no hidden tours to "Factory compounds" that wastes time - you get to see what you want at own pace, making your holiday good value for money and time. Great to have her participating with us on various excursions. Arranged extra items at no extra expense and at short notice. (Acrobatic evening) when we met her young son as well (full of beans).
