<p>May 2012&nbsp;we spend 3 days with Vivie&nbsp;around Beijing. We were&nbsp;hiking on the&nbsp;great wall,&nbsp;visited Chuandixa&nbsp;village and&nbsp;went&nbsp;to the Ming Tombs and the Summer Palace.</p> <p>She was an excellent driver and guide and we&nbsp;enjoyed&nbsp;her company&nbsp;very much.&nbsp;She gave us&nbsp;a lot of&nbsp;&nbsp;useful&nbsp;information. She contributed&nbsp;a lot&nbsp;to the success of our&nbsp;stay in Beijing.</p> <p>Trudy, Kees and&nbsp;&nbsp;Annie&nbsp;from Holland&nbsp;</p> Read less

<p>We hired Vivie to be our city tour guide in Beijing for May, 2012.&nbsp; We looked forward to exploring Beijing on our own, but we also wanted to find a city guide to show us around some of the&nbsp;major attractions for a couple of days and to help us get our bearings.</p> <p>Vivie was&nbsp;extremely helpful from the beginning. She helped us schedule our first two days so we knew what to&nbsp;expect.&nbsp; She told us this would be flexible which we appreciated.&nbsp; She offered us airport pickup and drop-off which we gladly accepted since we were&nbsp;arriving late at night and departing early morning.</p> <p>She took&nbsp;us to several major attractions in our two days with her.&nbsp; We found Vivie to be very punctual and spoke English very well.&nbsp; She was also very informative about the historical sites we visited.&nbsp; Vivie was very friendly and we were very at&nbsp;ease with her.&nbsp; She also took off the&nbsp;beaten track a few times which we enjoyed.</p> <p>Vivie went above and beyond for us.&nbsp; She obtained tickets for us for an acrobats show and Chinese opera and through her&nbsp;connections was able to get us great seats.&nbsp; In another instance, we accidentally left a&nbsp;souvenir with the person who drove us back to the airport.&nbsp; By the time we had gotten home, she was&nbsp;already aware of it and assured us it would be mailed to us.</p> <p>Vivie is an excellent tour guide who is truly committed to her clients and we will recommend&nbsp;her to all of our friends, family and others who want to have a memorable&nbsp;experience in China and Beijing.</p> <p>Bob,&nbsp;Alyssa, Heather, and Jeff</p> <p>Minneapolis,&nbsp;Minnesota, USA</p> Read less

<p>Vivie Pan was our personal tourguide for Beijing on April 2012.&nbsp; We didn&#39;t like to join a group tour, so I was stressed to find a good guide, when I was so busy with lots of office work. I was so relieved when I was able to book Vivie more than a month in advance.</p> <p>We arranged for airport transfers, and even requested her to buy us a China SIM card in advance, which she did.</p> <p>She is very fluent in English and Mandarin, young, cheerful, energetic, prompt and very knowledgeable about the sites we visited, and a good driver. She knows the zigzags of Mutianyu Great Wall very well, and was patient with all our time consuming picture taking sessions.</p> <p>Overall we are happy and satisfied with the days she escorted us around.</p> <p>But I would like to impart some pointers for improvement :</p> <p>Refrain from changing anything that was agreed upon, an example would be, tour dates which were already fixed months ahead, just because you have to favor an old client.</p> <p>Don&#39;t accept too much client requests, or be too busy with much &quot;multi-tasking&quot; , without knowing it, your service to your client of the day will suffer.</p> <p>Tourists value their time, days are limited. So its always &quot;Rain or Shine&quot; the tour must go on.</p> <p>Although there are some slight hitch with her service, she has an optimistic attitude about her, and I know that she will take the above pointers to heart. The important thing is that she is a trustworthy, and hardworking person. I believe she has potential to be a great guide and we wish Vivie, success in her chosen career. I would not hesitate to recommend her to my friends.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Read less
