We has a wonderful day with Linds. She was personable, knowledgable and spoke excellent english. She took us to the front of the very long lines. Also, her vehicle was clean and well maintained. Lastly, her driving skills made us feel comfortable and safe.

Our trip was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to my guide Gale. She was incredibly professional and clearly knew her stuff inside and out. We learned so much during our time together. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly enriching experience. It was a journey we soon won't forget.

Amazing tour of Tianenmen and Forbidden City! Catherine’s English and knowledge were incredible. She was warm and fun and also professional !!

It was a very easy and well arranged trip to the Great Wall. Our guide and driver Fred was extremely helpful, arriving on time and going extra way to make our trip nice, comfortable and interesting. The manager was also very helpful in recommending earlier starting time - we've beat the crowd and had an overall very pleasant experience

A perfect and easy way to see the Great Wall. We went early (left hotel at 6:30am) as suggested by the company and had the wall to ourselves when we arrived. It was a beautiful morning exploring the quiet wall. When we were leaving, the lines were long to enter. Our driver Mr. Wu was the best. He came and helped us buy the chairlift and tobaggan tickets. He even helped take some photos for us (we did not book a tour guide, only booked a driver). He went above and beyond to help us, was very friendly, and made the morning very easy for us. I’ll suggest this to my all my friends!

Thanks to our tour guide Linda, we had an incredible experience visiting the Great Wall. Linda is very professional, friendly and organized. She picked us up with her nice car and we enjoyed a lovely chat with her during the long car ride. She helped us getting tickets to get on the gondola without us fighting the long lines. Her private tour is very well planned on the Great Wall, we did not feel being rushed. She provided historical information while also giving us space to enjoy alone time as a family on the Wall but come in to take pictures for us at the most amazing photo spots. We enjoyed every moment of our tour. We loved the whole plan of picking us up and dropping us off, which was extremely efficient. We would not have had this trip so smoothly without her.
In addition to that, Linda offered us help to our last minute decision to tour the temple of heaven before we leave to the airport. Her colleague, Angie came to help us the second day. Angie showed up with her driver. They not only provided a fantastic and knowledgeable private tour to our family, they also dropped us off at the Beijing airport. Angie also brought our kids little souvenirs and fresh strawberries. The driver Mr. Kong is extremely professional with fantastic driving and customer skills.
I would highly recommend Linda, Angie and Mr. Kong to anyone who is planning to visit. Their services is flawless and they truly made the experience memorable and enjoyable.

We enjoyed the tour to Mutianyu with our guide Angie so much! She not only provided information during our walk on the Great Wall but we also got precise information to our questions and sights in Beijing. Angie also provided fresh fruits as a snack and took care of everything. Both, the driver and Angie were very professional. We highly recommend the tour. We would have given 10 stars if possible.
Kurtis_M, Mar 2026
I highly recommend this tour, Linda was great. She showed up exactly on time at our hotel and was a good driver in a very nice car. Hte's very knowledgeable about the history of the Great Wall + helped us take a lot of photos. She also helped us with other activities in Beijing.
Michael_B, Mar 2026
Linda was an excellent guide. We had lots of history and China questions and she was really good providing history and also cultural insights beyond just the Great Wall. I would highly recommend this tour. Let her know what you want to do and your speed and she will give you the best options. We wanted to walk a lot and also see a few other things in the area and she brought us to tea room, lunch and jade workshop. She gave us dinner recommendations and helped with reservations. Very good communication via WhatsApp from the minute we booked until she picked us up. I would do the less busy Mutiyanu section and take the chairlift up so you spend your time and energy walking the wall.
Aravind_K, Mar 2026
Angie was a great guide and the tour was well organized. We opted to start very early which was great as we beat traffic and were among the first on the wall.
Alasdair_W, Mar 2026
Linda was very proactive with the information and made sure everything went smoothly. My driver and guide Fred was excellent and made sure everything went to plan. To be at The Great Wall on my own so early was the highlight of the trip.
Thank you Linda & Fred.
Greg_C, Mar 2026
Great experience. Picked up by Sandy and Mr Ten from hotel in lovely clean car. Smooth safe ride all the way there and back. Sandy was amazing with giving information about the area and all the history of Beijing and the Great Wall. Very helpful throughout and happy to answer any questions we had. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Very well worth a visit. Our guide Linda suggested that we get there early which meant that we beat the crowds and had a wonderful visit. We can highly recommend Linda as a guide.

Great experience with Linda. Picked us up on time and pre-booked our tickets making sure the trip was convenient. We were lucky with weather and waiting time, which made the experience more enjoyable.
Linda offered a lot of help throughout Beijing, highly responsive and reliable.
Highly recommend.

Linda was an incredible tour guide! Super friendly and informative. She was very accommodating and made sure we got to see everything we wanted out of the trip. She was even helpful with booking other reservations / experiences for our trip 10/10 recommend!
Megan_T, Jan 2026
Absolutely great and easy day. Angie was so lovely and so full of interesting information. There was nothing that she wouldn’t help us with throughout the day. She was so kind to us. Linda was also very kind and helpful throughout the whole booking process. cannot recommend this tour group more.

The Great Wall has been on our bucket list for a while and this tour lived up to our dreams. Linda was our tour guide and driver for the Great Wall experience. She was excellent. 6 stars! She picked us up from our hotel at 8am and drove us to Mutianyu, which was about an hour and a half away. Linda made sure we knew what to do and where to go through the entire process. Some of the workers at the wall knew her so I can tell she is well liked and takes tours to the Great Wall frequently. She used WhatsApp to correspond before and the day of. We went on 1/1, which is a holiday, but we did not have a wait to get in. It was cold but minimal ice or wind. Linda walked with us for a good portion of the section and took pictures of us. She then let us explore on our own for as long as we wanted. We ended up going up to the Hero Station, which is as far up as you can go for this section of the wall. Since we had some time remaining with her, she took us to a jade store and also a tea store to do some shopping. I would recommend Linda to anyone looking for a comprehensive and comfortable time. She does more than just this tour too. We used her to book a ride to and from the airport and also a dinner reservation for Peking duck. She can do forbidden city, temple of heaven and other experiences as well. Just reach out to her.

We had a private tour to the Great Wall from our downtown hotel. Our guide, Linda, was fabulous. She made the experience very pleasant for my wife and me. The views from the Wall were spectacular. It is a fairly steep climb, but Linda made sure my wife was steady by holding her hand most of the way. We made a stop at a very nice jade museum on the way and then a special tea shop on the way back to Beijing. Both were well worth the time. We are leaving with a great deal of tea and knowledge!
I would certainly recommend the tour and Linda our guide.
Dmitry_G, Dec 2025
We booked Linda for two days: the Summer Palace and Forbidden City on day one, and the Great Wall on day two, and overall we had a very good experience.
Linda’s communication was excellent from the start, even before the tours began. She was both our driver and guide, making the experience smooth and hassle-free. She drove us comfortably to all the locations and shared helpful information, always responding clearly to our questions.
As a small suggestion for improvement, it would be nice if she could be a bit more proactive in sharing additional stories or insights beyond the basic facts, and spend slightly less time on the phone during the tours.
Overall, Linda provided a reliable, well-organized, and pleasant experience.
Lance_G, Dec 2025
It’s as good as you can get!!! Linda handles everything. She also got me to the airport for my departure. David and Linda were incredibly helpful. I cannot recommend them enough. Best experience ever.
Tiago_M, Dec 2025
I had a wonderful Great Wall tour with Mr. Wu! His car was clean and comfortable, and his English is excellent. He’s friendly, punctual, and very helpful with planning and taking photos. I visited the Mutianyu section — stunning views and no crowds. Highly recommend Mr. Wu for a smooth, enjoyable Beijing experience!
Sarah_L, Dec 2025
We had the pleasure of having Linda as our tour guide during our trip to the Great Wall of China, and she truly made our experience unforgettable! She arrived promptly at 9 am to pick us up, and throughout the day, she shared fascinating insights into the history and significance of the Great Wall. At Mutianyu, Linda showed us some of the most stunning spots and provided a perfect balance of information and fun. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging guide, I highly recommend Linda for an amazing experience!
Beatriz_D, Oct 2025
The tour is amazing. If you are in Beijing you have to visit the Great Wall because of its history and its relevance. Also, Mutianyu is wonderful, and the slideway is another chapter. I loved it.
Vanessa_B, Oct 2025
We had a great time at the wall with Jessica. It was recommended to leave early so the wall is not crowded. Good recommendation. There were not many people around
richard_p, Oct 2025
Linda was terrific highly recommend her, especially private tour. Friendly, competent and knowledgeable
She went the extra mile helping me negotiate Beijing far beyond the Great Wall and our tour
Paul_K, Oct 2025
Jessica was our english-speaking guide and she was amazing. Well organised and gave us best options for best experience.
Anna_M, Sep 2025
Linda was a lovey tour guide, went the extra mile as we had a 2 year old with us and provided snacks and water throughout the day. Would really recommend this tour, she recommended taking us to a quieter area where we could fully enjoy the wall without the crazy crowds and the pick up / drop off was so easy and convenient. Such a wonderful experience from start to finish
Hong_J, Sep 2025
We visited the Great Wall in August and had a fantastic experience thanks to our private guide. Communication was clear and responsive from the start. The guide was flexible, made great recommendations for the best section of the Wall, a delicious local restaurant, and even gift shopping.
As visitors from the U.S., we really appreciated how smoothly everything went. The guide made our day enjoyable, memorable, and completely stress-free. Highly recommend!
