    Great two walls to see
    Well organized tour led by friendly and funny tour guide Miko. We were briefed on Great Wall history as well as Beijing. Weather was perfect. Both Walls were stunning and more beautiful than pictures! Also driver and car were both great. Special thanks to Miko for keeping the kid entertained in the car; and making us safe all along the tour — yes, there are steep steps to climb the wall.

    Great tour with even greater guide
    We had a really great time exploring the landmarks of Beijing with our amazing guide Anson who was so kind to wait for us even though we were more than 30 minutes late to the tour due to heavy traffic. Anson showed us some popular as well as local places we have enjoyed a lot 😊 Many thanks for showing us that beer brewery, we had so much fun 😁

    Top quality tour and guide
    We really loved our tour. Lucy was a great guide who made the Summer Palace come alive for us - full of history and interesting facts. She also speaks superb English. We had visited before but she took us to see lots of new t parts of this vast site and we had a two stage boat trip. Very punctual pick up from the hotel in a super smart comfortable car. Really enjoyed the whole thing.

    Memorable, Informative, and Fun!
    The tour to Mutianyu and Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall is a trip we will never forget. The Great Wall in and of itself is a wonder to behold, as one of the world’s UNESCO Heritage sites, it holds an immense amount of history in each and every brick. Although we knew some information about the Great Wall and of China’s history, we further learned even more through our tour guide. Andy, our guide, was very well-versed in the history of China and shared with us more knowledge about the country’s thousand long existence, knowledge that one wouldn’t typically find in a textbook. He also shared with us various trivia and even helped me understand some parts of the language such as the pronunciation of certain words and the like. Moreover, Andy himself was very friendly, warm and welcoming; he kindly offered us help and advice towards the end of our tour on where to go and what to do in the city. He was fun and outgoing as well as informative and educational. Overall, our trip to Mutianyu and Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall will forever hold a special place in our hearts as a memory to look back on.

    Highly recommended tour of the Forbidden City - express but personal :)
    Had an enjoyable morning, thanks to my tour guide Susan who showed me the Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City. To begin with, the tour saved me from queuing up for the tickets, which would have taken at least an hour. Susan picked me up from the hotel, and we quickly built a rapport along the way to the landmarks. She was friendly, and offered to take some photos as we cut through the Tiananmen Square to enter the Forbidden City via the south gate. I enjoyed listening to the history and anecdotes of the China emperors. Susan kept the tour interesting by making me guess some of the answers rather than plainly telling the facts. Thanks Susan for making it a memorable tour for me. Highly recommended!

    Sweet Summer Palace Trip
    The Summer Palace/Botanical Garden tour was an amazing experience and a great way to wrap up my try to China. I couldn't have had a bette tour guide than Susan. She was very knowledgeable and allowed me to enjoy each local at my own pace while answering all the questions I had. We took the boat tour out on the lake at the Summer Palace. It was very nice but honestly too short, I would have liked to see that be longer. The Botanical Garden was very lovely, very large with no way to see all it had to offer in just a couple hours. This would be a great place to spend a full day just walking around and enjoying all of the beautiful horticulture. All in all, I could have spent a day at each stop, the Summer Palace and the Botanical Garden. if I must pick my favorite part of the day, it would have to be the green bean ice cream :-) A great experience with a great tour guide! I will definitely book more trips when I return to China!

    Amazing & Joyfull 😍
    One of the best tours we have been on !!!! We had an amazing time at the great wall and enjoyed a very delicious authentic chinese meal. Our guide Miko did an amazing job. He helped us from the begining to the very end and even kept in touch until we reach our home country safely. He took amazing photos of us and selected the best food for us to enjoy. We had an amazing time. Highly recommend this tour. Five stars for our guide Miko.

    Not to be missed if you visit Beijing
    I highly highly recommend this tour. Lucy was amazing and so knowledgeable on the Temples we visited. The history and the stories were absolutely fascinating and definitely worth doing the tour and walking through the streets and talking about the history of the area was amazing. We finished our tour with a Dim Sum dinner that Lucy ordered and everything was out of this world. I highly recommend this tour.

    Good food!
    Anson was our tour guide. He spoke great English and had tons of knowledge about the neighborhoods we were walking in, which was also the location of our hotel. He gave us a variety of food choices, all delicious, but did give us the option to be more adventurous. We opted out of eating anything too exotic. We were so impressed with Anson, we signed up for a tour at the Forbidden City and requested him. He is extremely knowledgable about the history in China and tells it in a way that keeps things interesting.

    Best Shopping Day Ever!
    My friend and I decided to spend the last day in Beijing shopping. We came across this activity on Trip Advisor and decided to sign up for it. Anson confirmed our tour the day before and was at our hotel the next day in time to start the day. He asked what our interests were and after some thought he laid out the plan of going to a tea market, Hong Qiao Pearl Market and Panjanyuan flea market. He offered to assist us with bargaining if and when necessary and sure enough we came out way ahead with every purchase. It helped that there were hardly tourists around because of the low season and vendors were desperate for customers. We appreciated his ability to translate as we wouldn't have been successful in trying to understand what was said. All in all if there was a rating of 10 I'd give Anson that!

    We had a great time with our guide Lucy. We started at the Square and the Gate of Forbidden City before walking to the Tiananmen Area to eat some local Food which Was great!!! Lucy told very nice and interesting things about the history of Beijing. The Teahouse Show was also great, i didnt understand anything but there are English subtitles and its good to get to know the Chinese Type of Theater and Show =) def recommend this Tour to small groups Just to See Beijing also from the other side

Jimmy was an excellent tour guide and provided a custom, private tour that met our needs. We sat in the hotel at the beginning of the tour to plan the day. We shared with Jimmy that our priority was to capture some great family pictures, and get a little history in the process. Turns out Jimmy is an excellent photographer. We gave him our camera for the tour and set him loose. He captured an excellent combination of candid and posed shots, while sprinkling in some history along the way. He was also helpful with getting us early coffee before the tour, and helping us get set up on Didi (Chinese Uber). We shared with Jimmy that we do not want to be taken to any sales pitch, or overpriced souvenir shop. He shared with us that his company does not take customers to hear sales pitches (a bonus of the tour we very much appreciated). Thank you for helping to make our time in China Amazing!!!
