Right then and there her warm and welcoming smiles set the tone for the rest of our stay in Beijing. She is everything you could ask for: Booked our sleeper train tickets to Xi'an in advance (and paid with her own money to book), created a tailor-made tour for us based on our requests, became our personal photographer, driver, and even our 5-year old son's play mate while we were busy enjoying the sights. She even went out of her way and waited for us to finish watching the acrobats show to bring us home instead of letting us ride a taxi even though our scheduled trip for the day was already done. We were also able to taste authentic Beijing Peking Duck lunch without drilling a hole in our pocket! At the tail end of our trip, she also made sure that we won't walk too far to get into the train station by dropping us off at the nearest and most convenient entrance. Her knowledge about the history is impeccable and she is very lively day in and day out. Vivie is more than a tour guide...she is a friend. I could go on and on talking about her, but to sum it up...Highly recommended...definitely the BEST one in Beijing!</p>
