Great/positive experience!

Alison_A, Apr 2026

Larry was great with communications right from the start. We erroneously booked the trip to start the wrong day. The only way I was able to contact the tour company was through the Viator app. I did that and Larry responded quickly and accommodated us, keeping our two day trip to start one day later. He also communicated by WhatsApp and WeChat. At the last minute, we realized we needed transfers to and from the airport and he arranged for that separately. We paid the driver directly. We had an English speaking guide, Peter, who was very knowledgeable, and also accommodating with dietary/religious needs. Where we had questions about the restaurant, he went and found the answer for us. all emissions tickets were pre-reserved/purchased and it was really easy to get through the lines for us. When we were at the Great Wall, it was decided on the way there that we would do the cable car and Larry arranged for those tickets to be purchased and ready for use when we arrived at the site. The driver, Mr. Liu was a very careful driver and we felt very safe. He was always around when we were done with our excursion. We never had to wait too long if at all. He drives a nice and reliable/comfortable BYD EV. He doesn’t talk, though.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your detailed and kind review 😊 We’re really glad we could help adjust your itinerary smoothly and make everything work out despite the initial booking change. It’s great to hear you enjoyed your time with Peter and felt well taken care of throughout the trip, from the entrance arrangements to the Great Wall experience. We also appreciate your feedback about Mr. Liu and will pass it along to the team. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you again in Beijing or other destinations in the future! Warm regards, Your Beijing Guide Team
