Neil_J, Aug 2026

Really enjoyed Ti’annamen Square and Forbidden City with the inspirational Helen!

Fabulous visit to Ti’annamen Square and The Forbidden City. Helen was so knowledgeable, friendly, and authentic that it made the visit very interesting and we could ask as many questions as we liked. Helen kept a good pace and kept everyone moving with her history and stories. The fast pass tickets was a real bonus at this time of year when queues to get through security were unbelievably long. We didn’t spend more that a few minutes at each checkpoint. We really enjoyed the visit and would highly recommend it to others.

Lucy was an amazing tour...

Lucy was an amazing tour guide and truly made our experience in China unforgettable! She was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, and did a fantastic job explaining the rich history and stories behind the Forbidden City and the other incredible landmarks we visited. What really stood out was how well she brought the history to life — her explanations were interesting, detailed, and easy to understand. She was also very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every part of the tour. We learned so much and had such a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone visiting China. She is an excellent guide and a real pleasure to spend the day with. Thank you, Lucy, for such a memorable experience!

Amazing experience!

We had an amazing trip to Mutianyu! Our driver and guide, Mr. Wu, was just excellent - everything was already organized and since we started the tour at 6am, we were the first tourists to get to the Wall and had sufficient time to explore everything in a very relaxed way. 100% recommended.

This was a fantastic experience! Mina was a terrific guide.

Great tour of the Great Wall

We had a private family tour Lucy who was an amazing tour guide! She and our driver Yang were right on time for the pick-up at the hotel. Lucy had an in-depth knowledge of the historical and cultural aspects of the tour, and she explained everything in very easy-to-understand english. We were there on a monday during the school holidays (the busiest day of the week), but she managed to make the experience fun and informative. The car ride was very comfortable on a very hot day. Highly recommend both Lucy and Yang.

Our guide Angie was awesome. Informative, friendly and engaging. Private car was enjoyable way to tour mutianyu Great Wall. The August heat was slightly more bearable in the early morning but it was very hot. Angie was also a great resource for ideas on what else to do during our visit in Beijing. We wrapped up our wall visit early because of the heat, Angie thoughtfully also took us to a tea tasting at a state-run store. Highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful two-day tour with Erica and our driver in Beijing! Erica was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. She did a great job personalizing the tour for our group so that both the older and younger members of our family could enjoy it. Erica and our driver were also really thoughtful and came prepared with lots of water, umbrellas, and fans. She shared lots of interesting stories without making the tour feel too structured. We would definitely recommend Erica to anyone visiting Beijing!

I want to share our...

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.
