What are people saying about Beijing

Crystal_L, Jun 2026

Great Tour!

This was such a fun tour! Our tour guide was Helen and she did a great job leading us and giving us the history of each landmark. To get into Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City, there were a lot of security checks, and Helen made the process simple and easy to understand. We had a buffet lunch before going to the Great Wall.

Well Organized Tour, Great Guide, Great Food

We had a great private tour to the terracotta warriors. From Beijing . The tour was well organized, as we were transported from our hotel to the train station. Once we arrived in Xian our tour guide, Angela, was waiting for us at the station and led us to our driver. Angela was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. She recommended a restaurant where we had Biangbiang noodles that were delicious. Highly recommended tour and highly recommended tour guide.

Great tour

We had an amazing experience visiting the Great Wall of China, and a huge part of that was thanks to our tour guide, Mike! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour both informative and enjoyable. He shared fascinating insights about the history of the Great Wall and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the trip. What really stood out was how helpful Mike was beyond the tour itself. He sent us adorable photos of the cats around the Great Wall (which we absolutely loved!) and took the time to share great recommendations for things to do in Beijing, as well as local restaurants to try. His tips helped make the rest of our trip even better.

Beijing Essential Full-Day Tour including Great Wall at Badaling, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square

Richard_S, Jun 2026

Beijing Magic

I commend the great expertise of Lee, our tour guide. He is fun, eloquent in English and knows the history, culture, and every story of each site visited. I super enjoyed this entire tour, from the Great Wall, to the palace and Tinanmen square to a side trip at Jade house and Chinese medicine and the SUMPTUOS LUNCH. It is a whole day trip but it feels greqt to explore the prime destinations that offer hidden gem of beauty, human artistry and craftiness. I enjoyed the cable ride and the walk to the wonder of the world. May is the best time to visit here because of colder breezy air against the scorching heat of the sun. Price is very affordable. Thank you Mr. Lee and this Tour operator. The driver was also good. Our mode of communication was whatsapp and wechat and the entire group (7 of us from UK, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Scotland and Canada) felt very comfortable, relaxed and entertained. 10 out of 10.

Beijing Forbidden City Ticket Booking (Optional: guide service)

Mark_L, Jun 2026

Skip the stress, book here

I can’t recommend Sophia enough for anyone visiting the Forbidden City. She was incredibly informative and detailed, bringing each hall and courtyard to life with historical context and little-known facts. Honestly, trying to navigate the Forbidden City without a guide would have been overwhelming – there’s very limited information on-site about each location, and you’d miss so much of the story. We were lucky to have a small group – just 6 people total, including my own group of 4. That made the experience feel personal and easygoing. Sophia also provided earpieces, so we could hear every word clearly even when there were crowds around. Communication before the trip was excellent too. She coordinated everything seamlessly – from confirming passport numbers to arranging the meet-up location. Everything went smoothly.

Sunset tour

Do the sunset tour- it is truly magnificent. My friend and I went with driver Jackie, and it was an incredible experience. The views are unbelievable, and this section of the wall isn’t busy so you can experience everything without a huge crowd. We had time to explore, hike, and enjoy the views and met up for a drink at sunset. The small group of 5 made logistics and transportation easy as well.

Absolutely don’t miss this!

If there is one thing and just one tour you can do in China, this will be it. Absolutely perfectly organised tour. Started with a steep climb of 1000 steps and then the entire hike was so easy. We saw so may coming from the opposite direction who really struggled. Great views, no rush in the initial sections, great for pictures too. We are also vegetarian and they had organised excellent Chinese food for us. Really loved it. Special mention to our most wonderful guide David (Dewit) absolutely fantastic guy! Really enjoyed the tour because of him. Gave us lot of time too! 5 stars for him!

Amazing Wall Experience

Just got home from this tour. The tour was an amazing experience. My guide was Jennifer, who had such a pleasant vibe and made sure we were all comfortable. She accompanied us to the wall, shared information on history and gave us free time to experience the wall by ourselves. She also purchased the tickets for the cable car and toboggan slide which was super great and convenient cuz it saved us time and the hazzle of purchasing it ourselves. We also got to know more about the jade and its culture in China which was super interesting. The lunch was amazing! The food was great. And in addition got to the tea ceremony which we all loved! Very very good. Perfect to immersive and getting to enjoy more about Chinas culture. Thank you Jennifer, you were amazing, sweet and very very friendly. We had an amazing time Stephanie, Edwin & Puri
