We had an amazing experience on our tour of the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. Our guide, Lucy, truly made the day memorable—she was fun, engaging, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. She also took fantastic photos for us, which was such a bonus and helped capture the experience perfectly. We learned so much about the history and significance of each site. Lucy shared interesting details and stories that really brought everything to life and made the tour feel much more meaningful. A highlight of the day was visiting the Great Wall. I highly recommend taking the toboggan ride down—it’s such a fun and unique experience, and definitely worth it even if there’s a bit of a wait. Also, don’t skip going inside the Forbidden City. It’s incredibly impressive and full of history, and walking through it gives you a much deeper appreciation of China’s past. Overall, this tour was well-organized, informative, and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

This was one of the best sight seeing tours we’ve done. We got to see so many of the top Beijing sights, including the Great Wall. The weather was perfect, and our guide, Helen, was brilliant throughout. She was very informative yet kept it all very interesting. If you’re in Beijing for a short time, this is a great way to see the city and Great wall in a day.

Our tour with Jeffrey and Sun were amazing. The knowledge, kindness, speed and attention, specially with the kids, were outstanding. We will definitely be recommending them and contacting them back once we come back for China part 2 🥰. Thank you Jeffrey and Sun! 🙏

We had the pleasure of visiting Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall (Mutianyu) with Lucy, a truly exceptional tour guide. From the very first moment, she proved to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about her work. Her knowledge of the history, culture, and local traditions made each stop on the tour interesting and engaging, never boring. She managed to convey curiosities and details that we would have otherwise had difficulty discovering on our own. Furthermore, she was always available, friendly, and attentive to the group's needs, adapting the pace of the tour perfectly. Thanks to her, we had an authentic experience that was much richer than a simple tourist visit. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to truly discover the place we were visiting!

This was a great tour! Absolutely loved Cathy and she made the experience amazing. She was very exceptional about the places we visited and chinese history and kept the tour lively and fun! She took amazing pictures and never rushed us at the places. Her photos were great and she made sure to share them with us everyday. She kept us on time while also letting us explore and enjoy ourselves. She was so very funny and we almost adopted her into our family. Cathy became my big sister for the two days we were with her! She was very thoughtful and gave us such meaningful memories to take home. There is no better guide than Cathy, definitely request her if she is available. She even helped us answer questions about our travel, accommodations, and transport that weren’t related to the tour itself. Specifically, my mother is a vegetarian and Cathy made sure to plan ahead to have food for her to eat. It was the first tour we’ve had where my mom was accommodated so well regarding her diet. My mom was so happy to not be stuck eating plain rice but rather a delicious assortment of vegetables. Overall, this tour was absolutely wonderful and Cathy kept it so lively and fun. Definitely one of my favorite tour guides ever!

10/5 stars ⭐️! This was a perfect quick tour of the highlights in Beijing. We had Keith for the Great Wall and he nailed it on timing and history - taking us early to miss the crowds. We basically had the wall to ourselves! Loved the Summer Palace as well- beauty and history in one! On day 2, we had Susie and she was a gem! Despite the freezing cold weather and SNOW, she was cheerful and guided us through Tienenman Square, Forbidden City, and Temple of Heaven and took us to see an acrobats show! On both days we had an authentic Chinese lunch meal (which was excellent). Overall, the tours went better than imagined and I’m glad I did it! Thanks Kieth and Susie; I will be back! A few comments: 1. There is a 3-person minimum required for each day of the tour (it’s in the descriptions). The company was very communicative with us about this as we were only 2 people on the first day. Although it seemed a little suspicious, it was genuine and the other tourist and I ended up splitting the cost of the 3rd person to keep the first day tour. We had no regrets doing this and felt great getting basically a private tour! Just be mindful this may happen if you go on an unpopular day. However, they gave us alternatives (change days, refunds), and let us decide what we wanted to do. So, it’s not a scam! 2. Physical activity. I’m a very overweight person and damn near thought I was going to die on the HILL to the Great Wall entrance. However, I took my time and was not rushed by the guide and eventually made it. The steps are quite steep on the “easy path” of the tour. I was able to go at my own pace and walk for almost an hour on the wall. The second day of the tour was mostly flat except for the climb to the Fulan Pavilion to overlook the Forbidden City (290 meters high, almost 950 foot elevation). Again - I almost died! But it’s split into 3 stopping points for you to catch your breath (or simply stop at one of the lower pavillions). However, if you make it to the top, the view is literally worth the climb. All in, on each day I cleared about 18K steps (~12 km, almost 8 miles) of walking. But, if I can do it - you can too! Wear comfortable shoes with good cushions, watch your steps for the uneven path, and take your time and you WON’T regret it!

We booked a full-day tour covering Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, a tea ceremony, the Jade Temple and the Great Wall of China (Badaling), and it turned out to be one of the most memorable days of our entire trip. Our wonderful guide Jenny picked us up right on time at 7:45am from our hotel. We were joined by a fantastic group of travellers from Australia, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, which made the whole day even more fun and social. Our first stop was Tiananmen Square, where security was extremely thorough, with two levels of passport and body checks. Jenny guided us smoothly through the process and shared fascinating historical information about the square and the surrounding government buildings, including China’s Parliament House and its importance for visiting world leaders. We then continued on to the Forbidden City, where Jenny really brought history to life. She explained the story of the last emperor, how the emperor, empress, children and concubines lived, and how every area had a specific purpose – from where the emperor studied to where official meetings and royal dinners were held. Walking through such an incredible place with her detailed explanations made it so much more meaningful. Next was the tea ceremony, where we tasted several beautiful teas including Oolong, Ginseng, Jasmine, Pu-erh and fruity teas. We enjoyed it so much we purchased some ginseng tea and other varieties to take home. After that we visited the Jade Temple, where we learned that jade is China’s most important stone. Watching skilled craftsmen carve jade into intricate sculptures was truly special — it really is an art form. We even bought jade bracelets as a keepsake. Lunch was served upstairs and included stir-fried vegetables, noodles, calamari, rice, Chinese cabbage, chicken, tofu soup and even chips — everything was delicious and very filling. Then came the highlight — The Great Wall of China at Badaling. After a short bus ride, we took the cable car up, and once we stepped onto the wall the temperature dropped to around –3°C! Rugged up and excited, we walked together along the wall, up and down the incredible ancient steps. It was one of the most breathtaking and unforgettable experiences of our lives. My husband Daniel and our daughter Aarushi even braved one of the steepest sections while I cheered them on from above! Through the entire day, Jenny was absolutely amazing — warm, bubbly, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. She made everyone feel comfortable, kept the group organised, and shared China’s history in a way that was easy to understand and engaging. We cannot recommend Jenny highly enough. She truly made this tour special, and thanks to her, this day will stay in our hearts forever. If you are visiting Beijing, do not hesitate to book a tour with Jenny — you will have an incredible experience! 🌟
