We had a wonderful experience - our guide Maggie was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and very good at navigating through all the ins and outs of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Would highly recommend this tour as we would have just scratched the surface of history without our guide.

Great experience ! and special thanks to our tour guide Maggie for going above and beyond. Provided great information and also helped us in booking tickets for other activities on the day
She was great and we had a wonderful walk through the Forbidden City. She was smart enough to bring an umbrella and she kept us in the shade! She was also very helpful, kindly getting us to the duck restaurant we wanted after the walk. It was a great morning.
Mr David was a tour guide for me this time, he’s such a kind guy, he explained everything and he tried a lot for taking nice photos for me 😄. Many thanks to Mr David and Sun flowers
I just have to share my experience with Miss Maggie as my guide in Beijing! She was absolutely amazing and made my trip to Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square unforgettable. I love how friendly and knowledgeable Miss Maggie is. She had a way of making the tour both exciting and informative. She really went above and beyond to ensure that i had a great time and learned a lot about 4th history and culture of the city. But what really made Miss Maggie stand out to me was just how nice she was.
My wife and I made arrangements with Sunflower Li, after she was introduced to us by friends who highly recommended her. The tour she arranged for us with one of her colleagues, Lima, was the highlight of our trip to Beijing. We saw Tianamen Square, Mao’s mausoleum, the Forbidden City and the Clock Museum. Standing in these places with Lima providing context and historical narrative, we could imagine what it was like there 600 years before in the times of the Emperor. It was a marvelous experience. Through Sunflower’s company we also had the advantage of skipping some of the entry lines and used the vehicle/driver provided to get to from our hotel. It couldn’t be easier. Lima picked us up in the lobby of the hotel and delivered us back 4 hours later. We liked the half day tour 4 hour duration. Wasn’t too taxing and still had energy when we got back to hotel. We learned a ton and had fun too. Highly recommend Sunflower tours!
