Viator website was efficient and easy to book with accurate information regarding the tours. Overall I thought the value of the tour was worth it. Pick up was flawless and they were on time. The Beijing tour with Lily was very pleasant. She is knowledgeable, witty, and knows the city extremely well. We opted not to visit Tiananmen Square due to crowds and I was very happy with the alternative choices she gave me. For one, we rented bikes for part of the day which allowed us to see quite a bit more of the city. She also brought me to a Fabulous Mongolian Hot Pot restaurant. I had described a restaurant that I had researched on the internet and she recommended this one instead. It was great, a local favorite. We also stopped by a Tea House at my request which surpassed my expectations. My day with Lily was amazing and I strongly recommend her as well as the company.
