About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Flauwie0 contributionsAwesome tour and tourguideLingling is an awesome tourguide. Her English is very good and she really goes the extra mile for you. She even took us to as restaurant for some real Beijing cuisine after the tour was already over. Highly recommend you booking a tour with her when you’re in Beijing.Written December 2, 2024
- nicolasmG765LA0 contributionsAmazing Experience with a Fantastic Guide!We had an incredible time in Beijing thanks to Ling Ling. She spoke great English, was super friendly, and really knew her stuff. She made every stop interesting and fun. One of the best parts was when she took us to a local restaurant to try a typical Beijing dish. It was something we wouldn’t have discovered on our own, and it made the experience even better. If you want a helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly guide, we highly recommend ling ling! She made our tour really unforgettable.Written December 1, 2024
- nycbethany0 contributionsOnce in a lifetime tour and tour guide!!A review cannot describe how truly amazing this once in a lifetime tour with Lucy was. We spent hours walking through Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and Lucy’s knowledge and passion for Chinese history made me feel as though I had been transported back in time. We visited a beautiful Jade gallery and the lovely employees were attentive and thorough, explaining the quality of the jade pieces and its importance in Chinese culture. Then Lucy and I had lunch and she was so attentive, ensuring I had a delicious meal. As we drove to the coup de grace of the tour, the absolutely breathtaking Great Wall of China, Lucy described its history with such vivid detail that when we arrived, it made the experience so much more meaningful. As a solo traveler, tour guides can have a profound impact on your experience when visiting a new country. Lucy made an unforgettable lifetime experience a magical one. My favorite part of the day was walking, talking and laughing with her as we walked the Great Wall. I feel as though I made a friend and when I come back to visit China again, I will make sure to book again with Lucy! She snapped dozens of photos that I’ll cherish forever. Please don’t hesitate to book this trip with Lucy!!! A bucketlist item has been checked off in the most wonderful way!!!!!!!! Thank you, Lucy!Written November 30, 2024
- Dr_Nikk10 contributionsBarbies in BeijingWendy was truly wonderful - so informative, kind, and genuinely caring. She went above and beyond to support my elderly mother, especially with the challenges of the steps on the Great Wall of China.

She has a great sense of humour and without her knowledge we would not have been so well informed. Highly recommend booking a trip with her.Written November 29, 2024

- Trek062168204590 contributionsSimply spectacular & breathtakingVisiting the Great Wall is the highlight of our trip in Beijing this time round- learning the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. Maggie and Gary are both very well-prepared, patient, warm and helpful during the trip. The view and workmanship of the Great Wall are simply spectacular and breathtaking. My two teenage kids enjoyed the hike, the lift chair up and toboggan down is one of their highlights too.Written November 28, 2024
- AlexanderH35210 contributionsHighlights of Beijing in a Single DayWe only had a single day to spend in China and this was the perfect way to do it! Lucy picked us up right on time at our hotel and got us into the Forbidden City early. She detailed the extensive history of Beijing, but also the country as a whole. I came with many questions and she answered all of them. We heard many stories of the history of the palace that we wouldn’t have gotten without a tour. We then visited a jade artisan gallery to learn about its importance and purchase souvenirs before a buffet style lunch of local food. The highlight was going up to the Great Wall and seeing the history in person. I couldn’t ask for a better experience when looking to take in the highlights of Beijing!Written November 28, 2024
- 490stephanyv0 contributionsAmazing tour of The Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and Forbidden CityThe experience was amazing! Wendy is a great tour guide, very good information, the private car was very comfortable and clean, and we entered places quicker than other tourists! It was much better than trying to book things without a guide - organised, easy and super interesting! We definitely recommend this tour, and Wendy is so lovely and friendly!Written November 27, 2024

Wow! What a great day! Lucy greeted us at our hotel and took us on an adventure through the Summer Palace and then on to the Great Wall. Lucy's English is excellent which allowed her to give outstanding commentary and historical information as well as on a range of topics relevant to the tour. I highly recommend her and won't hesitate to book her again next time I'm in Beijing.

As 1st time visitors to Beijing on a limited timeline , Lily was extremely quick to respond and helped to organize a wonderful day with our tour guide Lucy
Lucy was extremely knowledgeable (a walking encyclopedia), patient, and attentive to our needs. Being with a nine year old in 102degree heat is not necessarily easy, but we went through our itinerary at a good pace, learned a ton, and enjoyed ourselves.
We highly recommend Lily’s Tours - and ask for Lucy and Gary (best driver in Beijing)!

It was a great day. The tour guide William did an excellent job, good spoken English, very knowledgable and provided all needed historical facts in a clear manner. This section of the Great Wall was not crowded, which I really appreciated. The lunch was ok. The history facts about the Dragon Lady which were shared during the walk in the Summer Palace were interesting to learn. Thanks to the driver as well, the car was clean and he was driving safe. Definitely, would recommend booking a tour with them.

We only had one day to see Beijing and this trip encompassed so much. Our guide, Linda, was really lovely and made the whole day smooth and a real joy to experience. The Great Wall was amazing, views are stunning and we opted for the chair lift/taboggan ride which was so much fun! We then went to the Summer Palace which was stunning and Linda entertained us with stories from its history. This was an amazing tour with a wonderful guide and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore what Beijing has to offer.

Great tour. Kevin was a really good guide, friendly and good English speaker. He and our driver were right on time to pick me up at my hotel. We had a nice drive to Mutianyu Great Wall. Kevin provided useful facts about the history of China. The included lunch was vast and delicious at a restaurant a few minutes from the Great Wall. While at the Summer Palace, I requested Kevin to go to the Tower of Buddhist Incense, which he gladly included in the tour. If it is your first time in Beijing, I highly recommend this tour and Kevin as your guide.

Excellent in every way.
Our guide Sophie was excellent, but we also had a driver which made it possible for us to make the most of the day. The driver left us at an entrance and noa waited at the exit without having to waste time in parking lots.
The ride was as promised and the value for money was excellent, there are few that offer a guide along with the driver, food and all tickets (all included).

Today was simply the best day in Beijing. The private day tour with Cherry and the driver was amazing. The tour included the Great Wall, Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square. Cherry was a brilliant guide and had so much knowledge on Chinese history and culture which really brought the sites to life. There is so much richness to Chinese culture, and having Cherry on hand to provide insights and perspectives was so interesting, and logistically the day was seamlessly put together. I really feel inspired by everything I’ve seen and experienced today, and a huge thank you to Cherry for her expert guidance. XieXie (Thank you).

We had a great time with Maggie, who was a great guide. We were able to stop at all the scenic spots that we wanted and did not feel rushed. Maggie was very friendly and very informative, and knew all about the history of the summer palace and great wall. We stopped at a great local chinese restaurant for lunch, which was delicious. The transportation was air conditioned, smooth ride, and picked us up within minutes when we were done with each area. Would definitely recommend this tour especially with Maggie who spoke English very well.

Is it possible to adjust the tour and spend additional time at the Mutianya portion of the Great Wall and forgo Summer Palace?
