Tour Guide

Beijing Ocean International Travel Service
Chongwen District, Beijing

Due to the fact that Ocean International Travel Service primarily operates the travel desk for Peninsula Hotel in Beijing, the guests we received are mainly business travelers coming to China. The majority of them are businessmen, usually traveling in small groups. Their private tours mainly cover various attractions in Beijing or visits to museums, art galleries, and famous restaurants.

As a tour guide, the primary responsibilities involve assisting in planning their one day or multi-day itineraries. Utilizing a wealth of knowledge about Beijing, valuable recommendations are provided to clients. Throughout the guided tour, interesting explanations are given about the various attractions. With years of experience and an understanding of visitors from different countries, adjustments are made to manners, language, and travel routes to ensure that the guests' journey is both interesting and enjoyable.
