The tour was really good and very convenient, it’s unlike the other tours where they list something and take you to other places not mentioned. Also over 2 days it’s perfect to take your time at each location and spend time and not to rush. Overall I completely enjoyed that tour and I would highly recommend it.. the tour guide Sandy was very kind and helpful and also knowledgeable.. thanks a lot for an amazing time
Shane, Jul 2020
Amazing! Just Amazing! It is a hike if you want to walk to the "end" of the wall and back so wear comfortable shoes! It was a lot of fun and I am so glad I went. Our guide was awesome and she kept us on schedule and we never felt rushed.

Dear Shane, so glad to know you were enjoying your time on the Great Wall. Spread the words and invite more your friends to join this tour.

I totally enjoyed this 2 day tour. I not only experienced the sights and sounds of Beijing but also had the company of the amazing tour guide Jin. He was very knowledgeable, eager to answer my questions and very considerate and courteous. I got to discuss the highlights of over 6000 years of China history during the long bus travel. Totally recommend this trip.
Rupa_B, Jan 2020
Our tour guide, Helen, was excellent and there's no way we could've seen everything in 2 days on our own! Also, customized the trip so that we could try Peking duck without spending too much and shopping at the Pearl market. Highly recommended for the whole family!

This tour was great as we got to see everything we wanted to while in Beijing. Our tour guide, Tom, was very genuine and a great guy. We enjoyed everything we wanted to, and the highlight for us was going to the great wall where we got to spend 2-3 hours enjoying the climbing and views from the wall. Great tour!

I loved this tour! Although it's a small group tour, it turned out that I was the only person who booked, so it was just me and my tour guide, Cactus. She was delightful to spend two days with - full of knowledge and stories about Beijing and China, and just overall a great person to get to know a bit. This tour really does cover all the highlights in two days. I would cheerfully book with this tour service again, especially if I could request Cactus as my guide!

Fantastic trip from start to finish visiting all major sights in 2 days. Nancy our guide was fabulous steering us through the Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City Great Wall Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace at comfortable pace. Nancy was very knowledgable friendly and spoke excellent English. Lunch was on both days very good. Driver was also very good. Thank you for a wonderful 2 days.
Stephen_S, Nov 2019
I don’t hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
The tour is well paced and covers all of Beijing’s key sites, plus a trip to the Great Wall, including comprehensive information, and at a good price. We had a fantastic time!
Jin was our tour guide and we couldn’t have hoped for a better one. Jin was patient, informative, well organised, and a pleasure to be with. His social skills when relating to guests are excellent. He was the best tour guide that we have had in our 5 week tour of Australia and China. Thank you, Jin!
If you want a comprehensive, two-day tour of Beijing, including a trip to the Great Wall, then look no further...

Was in Beijing for only a few days. This tour helped me to hit all the big tourist spots in a short period of time. Jerry, our tour guide, was phenomenal. He went above and beyond to accommodate all of us on the tour - taking our pictures, ordering us specific dishes we wanted, helping us to locate restaurants or other tourist spots in the city, looking up simple things like conversions, and communicating with folks that we couldn't.
The only complaint I have about the tour is that the dishes included in our lunches were very "western" & it felt unfortunate to come all the way to China to eat the same kind of food they prepare for folks in the States.
Luciana_D, Nov 2019
We loved our tour with Sunny, she is the best and super sweet! Very knowledgeable abut all the places and very patient with us going around and taking some pictures, we feel this tour would be as great as it was without her, so THANK YOU SUNNY for being s kind and so wonderful to all of us!

Our guide did a very good job of working with the different personalities of the people in our group while providing us with all the information about the sites we were visiting. The time allotted for each site we visited was very good. We had different drivers and vehicle sizes for both days because of group size and our guide worked well with both of them in the heavy Beijing traffic. The lunches each day where exceptional. If you only have a short time in China you cant go wrong with this tour if you have a good guide, and ours was excellent.
The time of the year year made it even better with the trees being in full color. The Great Wall is unbelievable but when you add the trees in full color it is magnificent.
Response from Host, Nov 2019
We are so pleased to hear you had a wonderful trip with us! Thank you for sharing the tour details to us! The best time to see the Great Wall is in autumn, the weather will be cool and the full of yellow colour of the trees, the view is excellent! Hope for your next Great Wall tour with us!
David_S, Oct 2019
Great tour. Leo did a fantastic job. His English was very good and he had a great sense of history for everywhere we went. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide. The city is large and complex. Having him navigate us around was the only way we would have seen as much as we did. We really enjoyed the tour.
Response from Host, Oct 2019
Thanks for recommending our tour guide, Leo! We are so glad the you enjoyed our 2-day Beijing highlights tour! Leo is quite good at Chinese history and culture, and experienced for being a guide! There is no better way to visit a city than with a local professional guide! Hope to see you again in other cities of China!

Nancy was such a great guide! This tour was totally worth it and I loved it. Worth the price and I didn’t have to mess with any transportation.
Eitan_B, Sep 2019
Overall the trip was OK. They picked me from the hotel both days, food was good, they supplied water (water was not cooled, temperature outside 97 min 🙄).
Driver was a bit aggressive and I am usually calm.
Guide was nice. She covered all sites on Itinerary. My feeling was that we were rushed. Tour ended one day around 4pm and the other day at 3pm. I got the feeling she was in rush.
Saw the sites, got explanations.
Precilla T, Sep 2019
This was the best tour we have done thus far! Cactus our tour guide and the amazing driver were nothing short from amazing !! They made this experience worth every penny. This is definitely a must do tour!
Response from Host, Sep 2019

Prideauxs, Aug 2019
Guide Olivia's english and knowledge was excellent. Collected from hotel on time and transport was comfortable.. Itinary was all we wanted and as we were the only peolple on the second day was tailored to what we wanted. Guide was excellent at queue dodging at a very busy time .Lunches were very good on both days. Cant fault service to be honest.
Response from Host, Sep 2019
Thank you for your great feedback! So lucky for you that you enjoyed a "Private" tour, which is without other participants on the second day of our 2-day Beijing tour. Even though there is a maximum of 6 travelers of our small group tour. Our guide is experienced and flexible to avoid long queues. Hope you will have a next trip with us!
Kiera_N, Aug 2019
Visited Beijing for 3 nights & this tour ensured that we seen all the main sights within 2 days. We were picked up on time each morning & our tour guide Sunny was very friendly & informative. We skipped the line at all attractions and were given plenty of time to enjoy. I would really recommend this Tour especially if you are limited for time. Thank you Sunny for an amazing time in Beijing.
Response from Host, Aug 2019
I'm so glad to hear that you had an excellent time in this 2-day Beijing tour with Sunny. We want all the guests know Beijing by visiting the most breathtaking attractions in limited time. Wish you have a wonderful trip in China!
John_H, Jul 2019
We got to see the important landmarks of Beijing. It was informative and fast paced. We loved hiking on the Great Wall and the toboggan ride down the mountainside!
Todd_G, May 2019
I had only 2 days to visit Beijing and wanted to see as much as possible. I highly recommend this tour and my tour guide, Nancy!! The tour allows you to experience the Forbidden City and the Great Wall on one day and the Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven on the second day -- all "must sees" when you visit Beijing. Nancy was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful providing tons of details about what we were seeing, answering our questions and even providing recommendations for what to do with our evenings and the remainder of our time in the City. My tour group was only 3-4 people per day, so we had very personalized service. A wonderful experience that I would highly recommend!
Jake D, May 2019
Well thought out itinerary and very knowledgable and friendly guide. Would strongly recommend even if you are in Beijing for longer.
OCS A, May 2019
Sophia was very nice and helpful and explaned a lot.
The tour it self are what you expect when you book a tour like this.
Very positive: NO stopps on fabrics etc. for shopping of tea, jade etc. only the tour itself. Absolutly perfect.
the Forbidden City was totally crowded by people, but for this is not the tourguide responsible.
Great Wall was very nice, not to many people and a great view.
Temple of Harvest and Summer Palace are very nice but on this day the smog coloured the sky very grey and foggy, a big problem in Beijing.
Vikash_G, Nov 2018
Mark was our guide and took good care and accommodated in every possible way. Dropping me off at Silk market while coming back on first day, offering to drop me at station and then arranging a taxi to airport after the tour was over. Beijing is a beautiful place and was even better with the small and lively group that we had.
mariaofilamor, Sep 2018
This was a fabulous tour! I love that it was a small group so we were able to interact with the tour guide the entire time. Our tour guide, Eva, was awesome! She was knowledgeable, personable, funny, and full of energy. We got to see so much at such a short period of time and never felt rushed. I would highly recommend it.
JillE082018, Sep 2018
This tour was fabulous. The small group really made for an intimate experience. The pace was perfect (not too quick, not to slow). We enjoyed all the sites, but our tour guide Eva really made the experience great for us. She was truly fantastic. We got a great sense of the city seeing both new and old tourist sites. Don't book any other tour, this is THE ONE!
Nicola_P, Aug 2018
A great tour with Sunny. I would recommend to other travellers.
Peggy L, May 2018
Our two day tour of Beijing with William was the highlight of our Asian journey, which included a 10 day Windstar cruise in Japan, 3 days in Beijing and 3 days in Hong Kong. William was extremely knowledgeable, organized, timely and delightful to be with. We learned so much about the fascinating history of the Forbidden City which made it come alive. Tienanmen Square, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall were amazing. He went above and beyond the usual tour by suggesting we see a Kung Fu Show and/or an Acrobat Show and provided the transportation for us as well as accompanying us. It was wonderful and added an extra dimension to this small group 6 people experience.
Jessica L, May 2018
Love the itinerary for the two days - best of the Beijing.
Philip H, Apr 2018
Last year I did the 1 day tour, this year with my wife and 3 other friends we did the 2 day and it was amazing. The sights were excellent and our guide was knowledgeable, answered our many questions and keep up moving. A great value and gave us a good feeling of Beijing and it's history.
Martin H, Apr 2018
This was a fleeting visit for us to Beijing. The 2-day small group tour was perfect as it highlighted everything we wanted to see and then some. Our guide, Peter, was without a doubt the best guide I have ever encountered. His English was excellent and his knowledge of this city, its history and general knowledge was beyond compare. He was always punctual, provided water, ensured everyone was happy with the program was able to answer every question asked and offered handy little tips. If you are thinking of a trip to Beijing and can book any of the tours offered you should definitely try and book this one, if possible, with this guide.
Garry C, Mar 2018
The two day was all that one could hope for. It touched all the bases. Sunny our guide was exceptional.
