          Highly engaging and insightful
          Really enjoyable tour. Appreciated the balance of history and the (sadly) limited time we had available. Excellent English spoken, as well as Putinghua (for my daughter). Highly recommended

          Mutianyu Great Wall Adventure
          I An absolutely wonderful experience on this day tour - My tour guide Jerry can to pick me up from my hotel in Beijing with a private driver and we went straight to Tiananmen Square where Jerry and I walked me through security with VIP treatment and then continued through the square with Jerry providing excellent information on each building and allowing me to ask questions and take pictures along the way. Next we crossed to the Forbidden City where we once again received VIP access and continued the tour all through the Forbidden City with very informative and interesting commentary from Jerry for approximately 2 hours - this is a massive city and you could just tour the square or the city but I only had one day to spend in Beijing so I opted for the shorter tour. Next we traveled to Mutianyu about 2 hours from the Forbidden City, stopping along the way at a wonderful Jade shop where we had a delicious lunch and then continued through Mutianyu to the shuttle stop for the Great Wall. Jerry took care of everything and I received first class treatment the entire time. We took the shuttle to the chair lift which takes you to the top of the wall, and I hiked on the wall for an hour before returning by toboggan back to the shuttle stop. I went to a Tea Shop where they performed a traditional tea service and there was lots of opportunity to shop for souvenirs before I was returned to my hotel in the late afternoon. It was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it.

          The best guide you’ll ever get in Beijing!
          If you want to visit Beijing I recomend to take the best guide possible that will make your life easier while there. Nicholas Wang is a very serious, professional, nice and fun guide that will help you take the experience on another level. He knows all the best spots that will impress you and that will take visiting Beijing on another level. There are no words to describe how much I recomend this private guide. 🏮🏮🏮 He is the best ever!🪭

          Awesome Experience & Exposure To Chinese Culture
          I had an awesome experience on the Great Wall tour with Maggie! She was incredibly knowledgeable about Chinese culture, making the entire experience both educational and engaging. The tour was very well coordinated, and communication was seamless throughout. Maggie's insights and professionalism truly enhanced the trip. The driver also did a fantastic job, driving smoothly and safely. It's definitely well worth the money – I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

          Jam-packed day out in Beijing
          We truly made the most of our day. Thanks to our guide Maggie, we were able to learn, take photos and enjoy the day without stress. From starting at the Forbidden City (seeing Tian’anmen square from afar), then making our way to the Summer Palace, followed by an on the spot addition of a tea experience (free, delicious, only pay for what you buy), some lunch at a great local restaurant (all ordered by Maggie and included), and ending the official part of the tour with the Temple of Heaven (at sunset 😍). To top it all off, Maggie managed to arrange last minute tickets to an acrobatics show which was great - very talented performers. She made sure we arrived on time, got to our seats and had a ride home (lovely driver all day). Thank you Maggie for your kindness, efforts to go above and beyond, and for helping us learn more about each spot and other cultural points. This private and personalised tour really helped us see and do so much, all in a comfortable way.

          Lingling 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.

          Amazing 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.

          Once 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!

        What an experience discovering Beijing from Lucy’s hand! We had a great time discovering the city’s temples and palaces as well as learning about China’s history from a local perspective,

        Our tour guide was eager to answer all our questions, and was very patient as I took so many pictures at each location.

        During the tour we were able to sample the local dishes, and Lucy took care to take us to the restaurants where local’s dine. The food was top notch!

        At the end of the day I had the feeling that Lucy was a great friend more than a tour guide.

        Maggie is "THE BEST". Her attention to details was amazing. She provided knowledgeable historical information at each sight with detail. Very personable, friendly, courteous and FUN. We could not have gotten a better tour guide and her driver was a safe driver and great fun.He even aught us a bit of Chinese! The lunch provided was authentic and absolutely delicious. Wish we booked her for all of our tours. You will not be disappointed with Maggie.

        Today we had an enjoyable day in the sunshine visiting the Lama temple & temple of heaven. Both venues offered lots of photographic opportunities with good explanations given by our tour guide Diana who was extremely friendly.
        We then went into a shopping centre where we sampled a tea ceremony.
        Lunch was next & we went to a Da Wan Ju restaurant which we would highly recommend we agreed to pay extra to have Peking duck, however please be aware this a bit more expensive but well worth it.
        We arrived at the summer palace at 4.20pm it was extremely busy so my advice would be to go to summer palace earlier as this place is beautiful & is worthy of sufficient time.
        Do ask for Diana to be your guide as she excellent.
