Kevin_D, Aug 2026

Excellent experience in Beijing !

We spent 2 days with Erica, our fabulous tour guide. We visited Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City as well as the Great Wall. The driver was excellent as well, very clean and comfortable van. Erica was extremely knowledgeable and was very accommodating to our schedule and preferences. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting China!

Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall Private Tour

Craig_W, Aug 2026

Great trip to the Great Wall

Great way to see and experience one of the wonders of the world. We were able to hike up to watch tower 23 and then down to #5 over the course of several hours before having a quick lunch and tea ceremony. Sandy did a nice job giving us details on the wall as well as Beijing with plenty of suggestions on where to eat, other things to see. Mr Pan was our driver and he got us safely from our hotel to the wall and back. One suggestion to everyone is to start as early as your schedule allows. We were able to make arrangements to meet even earlier and this helped us beat the crowds that show up later in the day.

Our trip was really...

Our trip was really amazing not because of the great views we’ve seen along the journey. We know that the tourist spots would already be great but our amazing tour guide Bobo was truly the best part of our trip she was full of energy and informative. Not only she did made us laugh but she went above and beyond with all her amazing recommendations and photography skills. Also one more thing we did like about her she was thinking two steps ahead making the trip more fun and at exciting. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends who visits Beijing who are looking for a tour guide.

Tour worth taking to save time

We took the tour to save ourselves time and worry and it worked - our guide spoke good English and he helped us go through all necessary procedures - we spent 2 hours waiting in line for security check - it is easy to spend even 4 - take it into account visiting Beijing

Charity_L, Jul 2026

Great tour. Our guide,...

Great tour. Our guide, Bruce, was informative and had great sense of humor. If you plan to go during the summer month, eat breakfast and hydrate before the tour because there will be long lines to get into The Palace because children are on summer vacation. Make sure to wear comfortable hiking shoes for the Great Wall.

TONY was a fantastic...

TONY was a fantastic guide!!! Our initial guide wasn’t able to make our scheduled morning tour (not their fault, weather/city flooding limited their commute) and I was impressed with the prompt communication / how the company handled the issue. They offered a morning group tour instead or an afternoon private tour with another group that had the same issue (we chose this option). My elderly mother loved his stories and he was good about finding spots for her to sit and rest. Tony was so efficient at navigating buying tickets and all the security checkpoints so it wasn’t stressful for us at all. Forbidden city is so huge that we were happy to have a guide to lead us around. Highly recommend!

An Incredible Journey Through China’s History ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to China. Visiting Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City gave us a fascinating insight into China’s rich history, culture, and imperial heritage. Walking through the magnificent halls and courtyards of the Forbidden City really brought centuries of history to life. The highlight, however, was hiking along the Great Wall. Standing on one of the world’s greatest engineering achievements was an unforgettable experience. The views were breathtaking, and walking along the ancient stone pathways and watchtowers gave us a real appreciation of the history, scale, and effort that went into building it. It was both inspiring and rewarding. Everything was well organized, our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the day ran smoothly from start to finish. We left with unforgettable memories and a much deeper appreciation for China’s incredible history. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A full day at the Great Wall!

Fabulous time at the Great Wall with our guide, Bruce. The group was a bit larger than we expected so we spent quite a lot of time waiting for people at each meeting point throughout the day, but we got to do everything we wanted to! Just be aware that it is a whole day, not just the wall and back to the city. Crowds on the wall itself were minimal when we arrived too, which was great!

Amazing trip to great wall

We had an enjoyable trip to the Great Wall. John did a great job as a guide. He provided an interesting history about the Great Wall on the bus ride and provided sound advice on navigating the Wall. The entire trip was well organized and worry-free. The wall itself was strenuous but lived up to the hype and a must-see for any tourist visiting Beijing. The wall had breathtaking views and was overall an amazing experience.

Memorable Experience

The tour was interesting and the guide, Linda was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. She told us the story about the dragon lady and her contributions to the historical sites. The Summer Palace and lake were tranquil and Linda explained the areas surrounding the lake and the other historical places. We enjoyed a delicious lunch near the Great Wall and then climbed from station 5 to station 1. Then we took the slide down. Linda helped us with souvenirs, showed us to the tea house, and took many family pictures for us. The drive home was pleasant and conversational. The driver was safe and careful and loaned us his umbrella when the weather looked rainy. We highly recommend Linda and this tour. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Fantastic Tour with Excellent Guides & Driver

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.

True Wonders of the World

‘Rocky’ was our guide and we could not have had a more knowledgeable, polite, and supportive person. This was the best excursion of our entire China experience that we had several in different cities. The Forbidden City and Great Wall are true Wonders of the World and all the history and info he provided made them even more ‘true to life’ and amazing as we actually viewed and experienced them. We could only see Tiananmen Square and not enter it because it was closed for dignitaries that were visiting. This was Ok as we could better see the buildings and immense ground area it covered. As far as the Forbidden City and Great Wall goes, Rocky was very well organized, kept the participants in the group, and was very patient while answering questions and waiting on some of the slower ones. The Great Wall is simply almost indescribable. One must actually see its immense size and the type terrain it is built on to begin to appreciate it and the effort it took to build. Nothing else on earth comes close to its immense size and length. The tour itself was great in all aspects. The lunch provided a good variety of tasty food. I should note that my husband experienced a pinched nerve in his back while in the Forbidden City and he could not have made it through without Rocky and others physically helping at times. He was so kind and understanding and I can not express how much we appreciated his effort and concern.
