What are people saying about Beijing

Crystal_V, Nov 2026

Guide Henry made our Great Wall tour a first-class experience

We had a phenomenal day with Henry as our guide. His English is excellent and he’s extremely knowledgeable, so we learned a lot. He’s also a great conversationalist, with a good sense of humor that made the whole day fun. Besides the Great Wall, he took us to a jade factory and a tea house, which were lovely additions to the day. Henry was very kind, attentive, and respectful throughout, and he took lots of photos of us, so we came home with wonderful memories without having to worry about the camera. His car was clean and ready for us. Overall it was a very pleasant, enjoyable tour. Five stars all the way, 10 out of 10. We’d highly recommend Henry to anyone visiting Beijing, especially if you’re heading out to see the Great Wall!

Great Way To See Beijing

We did the 2-day tour of Beijing and saw all of the highlights! Since this was our first time here we wanted to book a tour to make sure we had the best experience possible and we certainly did! We skipped the lines for everything and knew exactly where to go and what to see thanks to Bruce, our guide! He was so informative, accomodating and helpful! He made sure to always communicate with our driver to faciliate a close pick-up. The van was super comfortable also! Bruce also ensured that I was able to eat at the two lunch spots that we were taken to, which isn't easy because of my allergies and all of our dietary restrictions. Also, the tour operator was very hands on and answered all of our questions! Overall, the tour was a success and I highly recommend seeing Beijing this way!

Forbidden City, express tour - highly recommended!

The meeting point was easy to find. The unexpected requirement to drop off our backpack came as a surprise; that could have been handled before the tour. Our guide Maria was fantastic and was able to give us a good insight despite the booked express tour. In addition, she took great care of all individual interests and enabled us to make our connecting transfer by taxi to the booked high-speed train.

We had a fantastic trip...

We had a fantastic trip to the Great Wall of China at Mutianyu, thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Wendy Ma! She was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout the tour. Her warm personality and thoughtful service made our visit truly enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommend Wendy to anyone visiting Beijing! Thank you, Wendy, for such a wonderful experience! Ps: need loads of patience for taking the chair lift and toboggan as the queue is horrendous and the service staffs are unable to control the queue efficiently. Also do not leave gaps else someone else will just squeeze thru :-(

I love that this tour is...

I love that this tour is for multiple attractions. I’m a solo traveler here for only 2 days. it was much easier to do with a guide versus on my own. Lucy was my tour guide and she was amazing. You can tell she’s passionate about sharing her vast knowledge on each place we visited. She kept the group informed, and ensured we were comfortable. It is a long day with lots of walking but well worth it. I highly recommend Lucy and this tour!

Amazing tour!

Just came back from an incredible tour led by Rocky; when I first booked the tour, the itinerary looked amazing if not daunting to get so much done in one day but Rocky was efficient and adaptable getting us from one point to another and he was even kind of enough to share his amazing photos! Thank you again Travel Guide China and Rocky, hope to book with you again in future

We had a really good time...

We had a really good time exploring the forbidden city. It's a lot of walking but we made a few stops to here and there to regain some energy. Our tour guide was super cute and friendly and explained everything in pretty good English. Now I just wish to find someone who's caring as much about me as our guide about the whereabouts of baby family. Thank you very much!

This was a...

This was a well-structured and enjoyable tour. The two-hour itinerary primarily covered the outer areas of the Forbidden City, providing a good overview of its history and architecture. However, if you're interested in learning more about the inner palace complex and the Emperor's private living quarters, a longer tour would be a better option.

Very memorable day

This was an amazing day. Jerry was our tour guide for this private tour. He picked us up promptly and had driver and very nice vehicle. The driver was exceptional as well. Jerry took us to the Summer Palace first and then to the wall. Jerry explained the history to the Summer Palace and we did not feel rushed as we went through it. Next we went to the wall and took the chair lift up to tower 6. Again, we had all the time we needed and Jerry provided an outstanding history lesson. This was a long day, and being Sunday, it was very crowded, but a wonderful day.

Fantastic tour and super guide.

Helen was fantastic. Excellent guide because she gave exhaustive explanations to all members of the group without ever rambling, and she managed to get us through the visits without long lines. The tour is highly recommended and if Helen is there, it is definitely the best one you could find.
