Ask for Lucy!
We had an incredible day visiting the Forbidden City and the Great Wall with Lucy! She was warm, knowledgeable, and so much fun to spend the day with. I especially loved how she brought the history to life and helped us appreciate what we were seeing. The Forbidden City felt like a place full of stories, and seeing the Great Wall in person was absolutely breathtaking.
This was one of the highlights of our time in Beijing, and Lucy was a big part of what made it so special. If you’re planning to visit the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, ask for Lucy. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!

Rita makes a difference!
Helps a lot to have a native speaker to move around the area, and providing relevant info and social and historical context about the Wall.Rita is very kind and even helped us solve a personal problem involving the need to communicate in Chinese with locals.

Beijing two day private tour
Best tour we’ve ever taken so far. Well worth the investment if you have limited time in Beijing. Our guide Steven was fantastic. Not exactly being “spring chickens” Steven shepherded the three of us through the masses at a pace where we were able to experience everything we wanted to do without over exertion, especially at the Great Wall , Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square. Not being very knowledgeable in Chinese history or culture, Steven’s detailed and candid explanation of the Dynasties and culture was to the point where I want to learn more and view the movie The Last Emperor. His sense of humor, personality and our sharing of travel and family/life experiences make you want to invite him into your home if he is in our area. Our driver was also great, navigating through the “crazy” traffic in Beijing (very entertaining). The food was also wonderful and plentiful.
Overall a great experience, and far exceeded expectations and will recommend to others.

Great Tour guide and fantastic to make an early start to get the best experience of the year wall!
Highly recommend an early start - we started at 7am and it was great! Meant quicker to get there, less crowded and Shane (Xu Ying) was wonderful at helping us get through the crowded areas with ease and sharing lots of insights, wonderful experience and highly recommend him. We grabbed some lovely roasted chestnuts and latte before drive back - super!

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.

Excellent tour with guide Tom
The excursion was fabulous, especially thanks to the guide Tom. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in the history associated with everything we visit. Very available, very professional, very polite, and very friendly. The English level is also excellent and he/she was able to answer all our questions and doubts. We are going to recommend Tom to anyone coming from Portugal to visit Beijing. Congratulations on the work, Tom!!! Many felicities and thank you very much.

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.

We enjoyed our Beijing...
We enjoyed our Beijing tour including Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Summer Palace. Our guide, Lee, was excellent and shared lots of information & history throughout the day. He also arranged a tea ceremony and lunch, which were quite good. Overall, I recommend if you are looking to see the Beijing highlights.

Outstanding tour
We booked the 2 day Beijing tour. Everything was communicated well and organised perfectly. Our guide Susie was AMAZING! She made sure that we got to certain places before the crowds and kept us up to date with information and timings. We had exactly the right amount of time to enjoy each attraction- she is very well organised and a credit to the Company.
Lunch was included both days and was delicious. I left my jacket on the bus on the last day and they managed to get it sent back to me that evening. Excellent customer service. Thank you for an outstanding tour!

Aurora and Mr Chen made all the difference
We had an absolutely amazing experience visiting the Great Wall and Forbidden City! Our guide, Aurora, was fantastic! Knowledgeable friendly, patient and made the history of both places come alive. Having a private guide made the day so much easier and allowed us to see more without feeling rushed.
Mr Chen, our driver was excellent as well. He was professional, courteous and made getting around town easy and stress free. The car was clean, stocked with water and fun snacks. The air conditioner was much needed as it was a hot day.
We originally booked the Great Wall tour and decided to add the Forbidden City as an additional stop. Adding it was incredibly easy- we simply messaged the tour company and they made all the arrangements for us. The communication was excellent and the entire process was seamless.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Beijing, especially if you want a knowledgeable guide - ask for Aurora -and a stress free way to experience two of the city most iconic sights.
Thank you Aurora and Mr. Chen for sharing your history and culture with us, we truly appreciated it and had an amazing time!

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.
