Fabulous day-trip to Datong from Beijing seeing unique and precious historical places
Cathy was fabulous in helping on all the details the same regarding the guide in Datong. A true experience of how beautiful and diverse China has to offer in terms of tourism. And now with the new high-speed train a very comfortable day trip from Beijing. Highly recommended.

The real Datong
Anna is a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and spoke perfect english. It was a long going to all 3 sites which are far from each other. After that she took me to have a terrific meal.

Best Day Trip
We really enjoyed the interesting sites. Our guide Andy was really informative and kept us safe. He was very knowledgeable about the history and construction and significance of the sites.
Our driver was also excellent. Part of the trip was through a single lane mountain road used by heavy transport trucks.
Andy also suggested a good place for lunch.

A must do!
A must see if you enjoy culture, history, and unique experiences. The train ride was smooth and quiet. Star was an extremely professional and knowledgeable guide. I am so glad that I hadn't tried to do this trip on my own. His knowledge of local history kept me in thralled the entire trip.

Grotto mid march
Smooth entry thanks to the QR code. Should u want to visit the all place, takes minimum 2h30.
Was not too crowded in March. 15/20 min ride from Datong. Beware of the people that wants to "taxxiii" you back to Datong. Close to harassment.

Excellent trip
Very good tour and guide. The Yungang Grottoes and Hanging Monastery are both fantastic, and well worth the excursion from Beijing (even with the early start).

Highly recommended tour if travelling from abroad.
Highly recommended tour. The assistance from Cathy since the purchasing, and even before, during and after the tour is valuable. Then, our tour guide Gorge provided us an incredible itinerary. The restaurant he took us for Lunch was amazing local food. Totally worth the price.

UNESCO World Heritage Buddha carvings and Hanging Monastery fun tour
We were amazed by the intricate Buddha stone carvings inside the caves, as well as by the monasteries hanging on the side of the cliffs. Our guide, George, and our driver made everything easy for us.

Perfect experience
This tour was an incredible experience from start to finish! The place itself was breathtaking, filled with unique sights and rich cultural insights. Both the guide and the driver were outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to make the day memorable. The guide provided fascinating details that made the location come alive, while the driver ensured a smooth and comfortable journey throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore; it's a perfect blend of adventure and learning that you won't want to miss!

Friendly proffessional driver and guide for transfer and sightseing
Cathy was very friendly.She gave me exat instructions how to take the train and she did a really proffessional organisaton. Tracy in Datong with the driver were also really friendly and proffessional. Like everywhere in China I was rushed through the monuments in order to have the chance to have a lunch.Although I am a person that prefers sightseeing,the lunch was tasty and different than that of other parts of the country. We didn't have time to visit the underground palace and at the beginning they didn't want to bring me to the hanging monastery either and they were bored to wait for me to see the caves at my pace but after some motivation everything worked.At the end the driver drove me to Beijing airport. This tour was the best one in China,just someone shouldn't expect european quality.
