Jessica Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Great Wall Experience with Jessica! Visiting the Great Wall of China was one of the highlights of our trip to Beijing, and Jessica made the experience even more memorable! She was absolutely fantastic from start to finish—professional, friendly, knowledgeable pi, and incredibly accommodating. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our group had an amazing experience. Her positive energy, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made everything smooth and enjoyable. She made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout the entire experience. The Great Wall itself was breathtaking, but having someone as wonderful as Jessica made the visit even more special. If you’re planning a trip to Beijing and want an unforgettable Great Wall experience, I highly recommend Jessica! 10/10 experience! Thank you, Jessica, for helping make our trip to China one to remember!

We had a great time with...

We had a great time with our guide, Sandy. She got us through the line and onto The Wall with very little waiting. She also knew all the great photo spots! This section of The Wall was stunning with all the fall colors around it and smaller crowds (still plenty packed though)! There’s a nice, fairly easy walking portion between two towers, and then lots of opportunity to walk/climb more difficult sections. It was nice to have options and do what fit us best. The cable car ride is a nice added bonus!

Excellent Private Tour with Linda

We had a fantastic time with Linda from Lily’s Tour Company through Viator! She speaks very understandable English and is very pleasant and kind. She helped us shop for a nice Jade bracelet for a nice price as well. She confirmed 24 hours prior, and picked us up on time. The car and driver were nice as well. She took some great photos for us on the Great Wall. She wanted us to have the best experience, which we did. We would certainly book again with Linda.

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!

Kaye_H, Nov 2026

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 two days in Beijing and excellent guide !

I had a brilliant two days with my local guide Bruce and the driver Jin. Bruce made sure the trip was tailored to my needs and wishes - we climbed every hill we could find as I like heights. The food was delicious and recommended. Bruce was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Beijing and China. He helped me with some travel tips and also I was very interested to learn more about Empress Dowager Cixi. I learnt a great deal - the forbidden city was built in 1420! This trip comes highly recommended.

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.
