In March of 2013 we met Sunflower as she picked us up at a cruise ship and we spend the next 3 days with her excellent touring. The weather then was cold, and she made our visit seem so warm. This past year we decide to bring our 13 year old granddaughter to China and of course hired Sunflower to arrange everything for our 2014 March 26th arrival. Perfection as a motto could not be a better description as she and her driver met us at the Super High Speed Shanghai to Beijing train station. She had a porter ready to take all our luggage as the train pulled in, and her driver and his clean van were waiting.
Off to the hotel we went and arrived effortlessly. We decided to have lunch at the hotel and plan our 4 days and off we went. We started with the famous Rickshaw rides of the Hutongs which date back to the 1800s. Its near the Forbidden City and was so much fun. Then some shopping as all teens love to shop and the most amazing thing of all the stay was each time we were ready for a car pickup, he was there. We never waited at all. Sunflower has great drivers and it showed. She arranged a new Peking Duck restaurant for us, as last year we had a great dinner but wanted new places. As well all our dinners were terrific and she had reservation made for each on. Traveling with a teen, requires a blend of important sights, fun shopping, interesting things to do. Taking fun photographs, Sunflower taking her down the Toboggan at the Great wall, shopping at the unusual markets and her negotiating. She could probably work for Macy's or GM and save them millions. At each dining experience we had great service and good food. Dumplings, salads, Dim Sum and more. We had playtime, dancing, some type of paddle ball, yes we bought a set, all at the Temple of Heaven. we visited The Summer Palace, the Olympic Birds Nest and Water cube, and lots more. Sunflower had her driver take us every night to a restaurant and back, no worry for a taxi which unless you speak Mandarin might be a challenge. As we left once again rom China, she took us to the International airport, had a porter to take the luggage to check in. I am sure there are other nice guides however none can put it all together as Sunflower did. A few weeks ago I sent her a friend as well and they raved of her service as well. Sunflower is clearly number one in Beijing.
