This was an amazing all-inclusive experience across three major historical landmarks. May Day celebrations were in full swing, so special thanks to our guide, Sally, and driver for navigating us through masses of people both on foot and on the road! First stop was Tiananmen Square. Mao's image was unmistakable. My best guess on the "other guy" pictured in the distance was Zhou Enlai. However, Sally informed us it's the image of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen along with his signicance to Chinese people and overall world history. We had no idea that Tiananmen Square borders the Forbidden City, which was so vast and full of wonderment. Thank you, Sally, for taking the time to stage beautiful photos of everyone in the group at Tiananmen Sqaure, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall. At the Forbidden City, Sally was also a wealth of information about the various dynasties, and detailed accounts of Empress Dowager Cixi, Puyi, the last emperor of China, and the signicances of the various architectural elements and layouts. Rain hit hard just as we were leaving the Forbidden City, and we were ushered into the lobby of a nearby hotel to dry off as the driver soon pulled up. Then it was off for the two-hour drive to the Great Wall. The greenery that unfolds as you travel to the Great Wall is just beautiful. We stopped for a great buffet lunch. Then it was off to a bus transfer that gets the many visitors closer to the Great Wall and the cable cars for the final ascent! Thank you again to Sally for ushering some of us, who were feeling a little worn down, to an elevator to bypass the last stair climbs before boarding the cable cars to the Great Wall. Again, likely due in no small part to the May Day celebrations, there were so many people up on the Great Wall. Still, it was an epic and wonderful experience to be there. And thank you again to Sally for framing some sweet pictures of us up there. This is an action-packed day, so be ready. I think it's billed as an 11-hour day, but it ended up easily exceeding 12 hours. Thank you again, Sally for an amazing day!!

Good tour with Julia. Longer than usual as it was the May holidays. (If at all possible, avoid the major holidays in China.). Lots of walking, and stopping for explanations. Coffee stop was included, which was appreciated, as was the dumpling stop later in the afternoon. Would recommend tour with Julia.

Sally was an incredible guide!! She picked us up directly from our hotel, and during the drive, she chatted with us and shared really fascinating history about China and the Great Wall along the way. Once we arrived, she handled all the tickets seamlessly and took amazing photos for us in different spots along the Great Wall, made sure we got on the toboggan before the lines got long, helped us negotiate a better price for souvenirs, and was just genuinely fun to talk to throughout the day. I would absolutely recommend Sally AND this tour to anyone visiting Beijing!

Kathy, our guide, was very knowledgeable about all the facts and history about Tianamin Square and the Forbidden City. Her English is excellent and she really added a lot of value regarding historical context and significance with all parts of the buildings and structures. I asked many questions about the tour and Beijing in general and she answered them perfectly. I am a history buff and like to understand the context and significance of the tour. I highly recommend this package to get the most out of the sights. There is a rich history of these places and I would have missed a lot of meaning without her descriptions and input. The price is very reasonable for what you receive.

David was an amazing tour guide and person while touring the city sites of Beijing. He led us to the different areas providing us the background. He also took us shopping to a mall before taking us to see the wonderful acrobatic show (a must). He ensured the driver was waiting for us outside the theater to take us to our hotel. We accidentally left a piece of carry-on on the plane and had to deal with various areas at the airport (eventually lost & found). David contacted the Beijing Airport Lost and Found Department and helped locate our baggage and had it shipped to our hotel. He continually monitored the situation to ensure we received it. Unbelievable service and caring! Keith was a great guide showing us the Great Wall, Summer Palace and stadium. He provided us with a concise explanation of the various sites as he led us through them. We had excellent Chinese lunches both days. A great tour led by wonderful guides gave us a memorable experience. You cannot go wrong with this tour.

Had a great day exploring Beijing's big three - Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall. All iconic spots that absolutely live up to the hype. The real highlight though was our guide Rocky. Super knowledgeable, clearly passionate about Chinese history, and kept sharing little stories and insights that made everything feel way more alive than just wandering around on your own would. That context really makes a difference. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area (and wear comfortable shoes 😄)

We had a fantastic experience with Jenny. She is incredibly knowledgeable and brings such a positive, engaging energy. She shared helpful tips and tricks that made navigating the Great Wall much easier—helping us avoid large crowds and unnecessary walking. Her deep understanding of Chinese culture and the landmarks we visited really enhanced the entire experience. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

I want to share our feedback regarding the recently arranged tour for one of our clients. The tour was initially booked for two days. At the client’s request, the schedule was adjusted by shifting one day later, and we appreciate that the change was handled smoothly without any complications. During follow-up, the client expressed clear satisfaction with the overall tour experience. Special appreciation was mentioned for the tour guide’s professional attitude and courteous behavior. The guide managed the itinerary efficiently and covered multiple attractions to the extent that the client did not feel the need to visit all remaining spots on the second day. Overall, the service was well-organized, and the client was happy with the experience. We look forward to continuing our cooperation.
