Iris was a great tour guide. She showed me how to use the local transit and took me to the top locations. After the tour was done I was able to get around the city on my own. I highly recommend her.

My family of 4 used Tours with Iris on our quick trip to Beijing. We had a driver pick us up at the hotel and take us to the Mutianyu Great Wall. They were great because we had not planned on going to the great wall until the next day, but our flight actually arrived early so, we called Iris and she was so flexible and changed our plans up on the spot. After the Great Wall our driver took us to our hotel where we met our guide, Freiya. She met us in the lobby of our hotel, helped us grab a quick bite to eat and showed us around the town for a few hours. We would not have learned so much about the history and culture without her. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining.

We had a brilliant day in Beijing with Iris. She offered her opinion on the best things to see in our time frame, and listened to what we wanted to do. Iris knows about all the major places to see in Beijing but also took us to some quieter ones. She even arranged things for us after our day tour. I can't recommend her enough!

Touring with Iris today was brilliant! Iris was very aware of my needs and lack of time so she took control and ensured that I saw the most significant sites.
The fact that I was in an airconditioned car with an English speaking guide made the day easy and educational.
If you are planning a trip to Beijing contact Iris as she is a must.

My girlfriend was to visit me in China, and since she had 10 hours in Beijing before her connecting flight, I asked Iris, whether she could prepare a day trip for her. Iris was quick to answer, and came up with good ideas how to organize the trip. In the end my girlfriend managed to walk on the Great Wall, and to visit the Lama temple and Confucius temple. All at a slow pace, and in the pleasant company of Iris Liu, who she found to be very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly tour guide. Iris even returned her to the airport, and helped her getting on the next flight. Highly recommended to anyone, who prefers customized, well-planned tours by a local person.

It has been a pleasure exploring the city with Iris. We only had 15 hours in Beijing and couldn't have gotten more out of it. From the pick up until the drop of at the airport we felt so well taken care of. Iris knew exactly where to take us ... tHANK YOU for showing us your city!!

My husband and I were in Beijing for 4 days and we spent one day with Iris. She took us on a very nice and informative tour of Tianmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. The tour lasted about 5 hours. Along the tour she provided us with a good amount of history and stories. She was also very receptive to answering questions about Chinese culture and talking about life in Beijing, which we thoroughly appreciated.
In addition to her high standard of tour, her price was very good. There were other tour guides that are ranked higher than her on TA, who provided me with much higher quotes. From my perspective, there is nothing more we could have asked for. She is PERFECT and she is the person to go with. Don't even look at other tour guides!!
At the end of the tour, she provided us with a great recommendation of going to Si Ji Min Fu for Peking Duck. We followed her recommendation and it was amazing!!! It was our second attempt of Peking Duck, and her recommendation was far more superior and nearly half the price of the other Peking Duck place we went to.
One additional note, Iris was the 3rd tour guide that we had during our 10 day trip to China, and her English was impeccable, which we really appreciated. I also appreciate her flexibility, Beijing was a our last stop on our 10 days in China, and at the last minute we asked to change the date of the tour because we were getting a bit tired and she was completely accommodating.
Thank you, Iris!! We highly recommend you! You are the best...I wish I could give you more than 5 stars!

Our tour was great and we had a good time with Iris. Her care and knowledge of what to see, when and how to get there and back was invaluable to our happy trip!
But it is her spirit of caring and dedication that most impressed me! We had 2 events that impressed me. Once a taxi tried to rip us off, saying to her, let's get these tourists good! This little Tiger went to work and protected us against what would have been a fleecing! The second event she actually hunted down an item I lost in a taxi, secured it and returned it to me in Thailand! Most guides won't do this for you! She's a peach, use her services, you'll be glad you did! Jack & Rass of Thailand

In 2012, I visited Beijing with my husband who was traveling on business. I had already spent three days with different private tour guides, and had seen the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Bell and Drum Towers so I asked Iris to help plan our day. She was an excellent and informed tour guide. She was punctual and provided historical as well as current information. She was well-spoken and make for a very enjoyable day. The driver was professional. Some of the places we visited included the old Beijing hutongs by rickshaw, and Temple of Confucius, but the best part of the day was going to a hot pot restaurant with Iris. The food was delicious and we felt we were seeing a part of Beijing that tourists don't normally see. I highly recommend Iris as your tour guide when you are in Beijing. I have fond memories of Beijing and our day with Iris.
