Great Experience!

We had a great experience! The private car was very comfortable, and our guide Jeffrey handled all the tickets and logistics, making the day easy and stress-free. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore the Great Wall, take photos, and enjoy it at our own pace.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Tour Experience! We had an absolutely amazing experience on this tour! Everything was very well organized, from start to finish, and we got to see some of the most incredible places in Beijing, including, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall. A special thank you to our amazing tour guide Maggie! She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and made the entire day enjoyable. She shared so many interesting stories and details about the history and culture, and she was always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. The Great Wall was definitely the highlight of our trip, and having Maggie guide us made the experience even more special. She also helped us throughout the day with directions, timing, and anything we needed. Highly recommend this tour and especially Maggie as a guide!

Our guide Andy was...

Our guide Andy was excellent: friendly, knowledgeable and warm, and his English was great. He got us past the queues, so the trip up and down was completely seamless. We brought our two-year-old daughter, and there was a good child seat in the car. Our driver Chang drove smoothly and safely both ways. All in all a great experience from hotel to the Wall and back again. Recommended!

Incredible tour with Julia

Our visit to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City was seamless and unforgettable thanks to Julia. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and navigated the security checks and crowds effortlessly. Her storytelling brought centuries of history to life, and she went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and captured great photos along the way. We couldn't have asked for a better guide—highly recommended!

Best tour in China!

One of my favorite trips ever, Erica was amazing, we would have never experience Beijing in the same way with out her. Knowledgeable, friendly and very flexible throughout the tours made our visits incredible. The car was very comfortable, which was especially great for the long drives, driver was courteous and efficient. The food was a great taste of different items and a perfect break to the day. Would do it again tomorrow !!!!

Beijing and the Great Wall

This was an excellent tour and much more comprehensive than expected. Sally, our excellent guide, was very knowledgable and entertaining. She guided us through the various security checks, explained the history of the places we visited, told us many stories and was an absolute delight. Another thing we liked was being on a small group tour - there were 10 of us. It felt much more personal.

Exceptional VIP Experience — Perfect for Families with Young Children with Sherry

Sherry gave us an exceptional, truly VIP experience from beginning to end. Everything was handled seamlessly, and we were able to simply relax and enjoy the day without worrying about logistics, lines, transportation, meals, or what came next. At the Great Wall especially, Sherry made the entire experience feel effortless. Traveling with a 3-year-old toddler can sometimes be challenging, but she was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring with our son. He absolutely adored her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing that she was looking after our family so thoughtfully. She also introduced us to several interesting places and experiences along the way, including jade and tea, which added a very special touch to the tour. Everything felt well organized, comfortable, and personalized to us. What stood out most was the level of care and attention Sherry provided. We truly felt looked after at every moment, almost as if we had a private concierge with us throughout the day. We never had to think about the small details — we simply got in and out of the car, enjoyed each stop, and experienced Beijing in a very comfortable and stress-free way. I would recommend Sherry extremely highly, especially for families traveling with babies or young children. She is warm, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. For anyone looking for a smooth, personalized, high-quality private tour experience, Sherry is absolutely the guide to book. She made our time in Beijing incredibly special.

Bring your passport!! ...

Bring your passport!! Security for this tour, specifically Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City were stricter than any airport I’ve ever been through. No tour changes that so be prepared and travel light. Bags are VERY thoroughly searched. Our tour guide, Mary, was knowledgeable and made it possible for us to see so many sights in one day. If you only have two days in Beijing as we did, book this tour!

A must-do trip to visit the Great Wall

A friend of mine recommended this tour as I wasn’t disappointed. The booking process was simple and the pick up was simple and on time. You’re sent clear instructions about the pick up the day before. They were also able to fulfil my request to sit at the front of the van which was great. The Great Wall is amazing and you’ve got enough time to explore the wall yourself. I booked the tour with the cable car - recommended - and there is the option of the toboggan down but I chose the cable car. Lunch is included and it was very good feed with plenty of it. The Summer Palace was crowded (to be expected at this time of year) but really interesting and it was a good tour. Keith, our guide, was friendly, welcoming and knowledgable. He made sure we were safe and had the best experience during the trip. I’d highly recommend this trip.

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.
