All-Inclusive Day Tour: Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace

Vincent_G, Apr 2026

Perfect Day Tour !

I had an excellent experience with this private tour to the Great Wall and Summer Palace. From the start, the company was incredibly thoughtful. I mentioned I was travelling with my parents, and they surprised us with a complimentary vehicle upgrade, which made the day even more comfortable. Our guide, Bobo, was fantastic. Shewas knowledgeable, engaging, and fully bilingual, which made a huge difference. My parents speak and understand Chinese, while I don’t, and Bobo handled everything seamlessly so all of us felt included and well-informed throughout the day. The entire trip was smooth, well-organised, and stress-free. From transport to timing, everything was handled perfectly, allowing us to just enjoy the experience. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a reliable and high-quality private tour.

Beijing Private Hutong Food Walking Tour

Oliver_R, Apr 2026

Amazing food tour of Beijing!

We had such an amazing time on our private Hutong food tour in Beijing, and it was all thanks to our wonderful guide, May. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to from the very start, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. May’s knowledge of the area was excellent. She shared so much interesting information about the Hutongs and the local culture, which really added to the tour and made it much more than just a food experience. The food itself was fantastic. We got to try around 20 different foods and drinks, and everything we tasted was delicious. It was a great way to discover so many new flavours and places that we would never have found on our own. May made sure everything ran smoothly and that we were having a great time throughout. She was thoughtful, organised, and clearly passionate about what she does. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing. It was a highlight of our trip, and May gets five stars from us!

Beijing Private Tour: 2 Days Forbidden City and Mutianyu Great Wall VIP Tour

LouiseHoward, Apr 2026

Book this fantastic tour when in Beijing

We had a fantastic tour with Cathy over 2 days in Beijing. Cathy’s knowledge on Chinese history, culture and modern day workings was exceptional and added so much to the tour which we really appreciated and made it so enjoyable! We were a group of 3 women travelling to Beijing together. We wanted to see as much as we could in the 2 days we had available. From the moment I booked this VIP tour with Cathy it has been a brilliant experience. Cathy’s accessibility, knowledge and kindness has been the best I’ve experienced by a tour guide and I have travelled a lot! The pick up at 8:30am from our hotel lobby with a clean, new very comfortable people mover with a safe and calm driver it was a dream of a trip. We visited all the sights listed and our highlights were The Great Wall, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven. The VIP rings true for this tour as we did not wait in lines, Cathy knew all the shortcuts and best places to be positioned, she is super efficient in all of the organisation of the tour and it was a seamless experience! The two lunches on both days were delicious, authentic and had loads of options. The tour was well paced and accommodated a 75yr old well and Cathy listened really well to us. Highly recommended to anyone who wants have the best experience in Beijing!

Solid Beijing highlights tour

Fantastic all-day Beijing highlights tour! Bruce was a kind, down-to-earth guide who made the day smooth and enjoyable. He gave just the right amount of history and context at Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China. The jade shop stop and tea tasting were nice additions without feeling pushy. Overall, a well-run, informative tour. Highly recommend Bruce!

Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall Private Tour

Tom_H, Apr 2026

Great way to see the Great Wall solo

This was a great way to see the Great Wall, particularly as a solo traveller. Linda Shi was a great tour guide and was able to let me experience the wall, and was very knowledgeable and took care of everything so no worries about travel, tickets, access etc. I was very lucky with the weather and left early which made a big difference as most of the crowds were avoided.

Forbidden City Private Walking Tour with Optional Sights

Jeffrey_Y, Apr 2026

Henry was a great tour guide with true golden retriever energy! Would highly recommend

Henry was an amazing guide with true golden retriever energy! I could tell he genuinely had a lot of passion as a tour guide showing us around. There were many things I appreciated: him recommending we leave our bags at the hotel, which helped us skip over a 45 minute security line. Or him talking about the basic details of the palace in a simple and engaging way, like what each building did (and which the palace signs themselves omitted). And finally, his assurance that we would finish everything with lots of time in the afternoon, which put my girlfriend’s mind at ease. I really think going by ourselves with a guide would have been a vastly poorer experience, and we have Henry to thank for that!)

Insider knowledge results in a smoother tour

The experience to the forbidden city was of course memorable. Our Guide was informative and extremely helpful. The day was busy with many larger tour, however with the help of our Guide’s knowledge of the sites we were able to find ways of avoiding the worst of the crowds and using short cuts to avoid many of the queues. Together with our driver he made a memorable day better

Private tour with Mei was the best day!

Bucket list item crossed off. Mei was the best. So much knowledge and experience. On our request, we ditched the buffet and Mei took us to a smaller and in our opinion much better lunch spot. Had the most amazing food and a great conversation. Highly recommend Mei and this private tour.

Beijing Forbidden City Ticket Booking (Optional: guide service)

Sofia was our tour guide....

Sofia was our tour guide. She was excited to show us around the Forbidden City and patient in responding to questions. Once past the security checks, it took about 10 minutes for Sofia to collect everyone's tickets and rejoin the group. Once inside the complex, she explained the details in the architecture, made sure we stuck together as a group, and gave me enough time to click pictures and catch up with the rest of the group. The group entered through the East gate and I believe I exited on the North side, which opened up to Jingshan Park. I recommend this tour!

Glen_S, Apr 2026

A wonderful trip out

What can i say about the tour. Lets start with the Driver Mr Li. Mr Li was very polite,clean vehicle and looked after us well and wasn't rishing you.He drove carefully and was on the look out for the best drop off spots. As it was the last day of a national holiday it was hard with roads being closed. Had nice bottles of water in the car Now the guide MAGGIE! We were a private group so it was just my wife and myself. Maggie had great communication arranging us to leave hotel early so we can get to see the pandas in action,first thing in the morning before the crowds took over. We engauged in lots of cross culutre talks so she got to know us and we got to know abit more about her. Maggie always was looking out for the best for us, from less crowded photo spots to the best possible spot. Making sure there was suffient comfort breaks, so it got hot and the feet started to hurt. Great knowlege overall. I deffinatly would recommend this tour and Mr Li and Maggie. Big thumbs up for the tour and Maggie and Mr Li. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip and a great experience.

Small Group Morning/Sunset of 6km hiking Jinshanling Great Wall

Caitlin_L, Jun 2025

This is a beautiful part...

This is a beautiful part of the wall to visit, offering a great 6km hike, and fewer crowds than parts of the wall closer to Beijing. Jackie was a great driver, and it was very convenient to hire someone if you’re short on time as this part of the wall is 2-2.5 hours from Beijing.
