          Great experience in Beijing
          Highly recomend this tour. We saw the most important things in Beijing and Great Wall of China Mutianyu section. The guide Linda was so lovely, explained a lot of things, very good English. We ended up having a private tour and thats very convinient when you want to see max and have 1 day in Beijing. The whole journey was smooth, we started at 8 am and by 5.30 pm have been in the hotel already. All the tickets are included in the tour, you don't need to worry about. The car was comfortable. We were on the Great Wall when its snowing, so was a bit slipperry there and wuite cold, so check the weather before. We ended up having about 14 000 steps after whole day.

          Unforgettable history and amazing sights
          Two of the most iconic sites in Beijing, the ability to see both Tianaman Square and the Forbidden City was amazing. Our Tour Guide Jeoffrey had an amazing grasp of the history and historic meaning of the many locations we saw. He explained everything to us, and gave the group the choices of spending more time at particular locations or moving forward and seeing more. Pick up instructions were clear and at the end of the tour he gave us all the choice of staying in the Forbidden City longer or concluding the tour. Definitely have no hesitation recommending this tour option and Jeoffrey as your guide Chris & Michelle Fleming New Zealand

          Amazing Full-Day Private Tour Experience in Beijing!
          Amazing Full-Day Private Tour Experience in Beijing! I had the pleasure of booking a private full-day tour of Beijing, and I can’t recommend it enough! We were picked up at 9 AM from our hotel in a comfortable, spacious vehicle, and from the start, it was an incredible experience. Our tour guide, Lucy, was fantastic—extremely proactive, knowledgeable, and very personable. She took us to the iconic Tiananmen Square and provided a detailed history, followed by a fascinating tour of the Forbidden City. She made sure to explain everything thoroughly, and even helped us with translations when we were shopping for souvenirs. Lucy also shared great tips about where to find the best items and how to bargain for them. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. The trip to the Great Wall was another highlight. The drive was smooth and relaxing, and Lucy made sure we had all the information we needed to make the most of our visit. She was also very thoughtful about the logistics, reminding me to carry only my passport (since it’s needed for entry) and to avoid bringing large bags due to the heavy security checks. Lucy was not only a great guide but also had an eye for good photo spots. She directed us to the perfect frames and corners for capturing beautiful pictures for my Instagram and blog. I especially appreciated her patience and how she took the time to help with every detail. We also had a fantastic lunch at a buffet with a wide variety of delicious food, and I had a chance to relax and enjoy the break. This private tour made our visit to Beijing so memorable, and the convenience of having everything taken care of—from the tickets to the transportation—made the whole experience seamless. If you’re looking for a top-tier guide and a personalized, stress-free tour, I highly recommend this experience! Thanks again, Lucy!

          The Forbidden City and Great Wall in One Day
          Our one day trip to the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Great Wall of China was awesome. The shuttle came to pick us up from the hotel at 8 AM, which was very convenient and saved us a lot of precious time. About half an hour later we met our guide Lucy, who is super polite, knowledgeable and full of energy. She helped us go through the priority line at all entrances and was always providing the necessary information about the venues, their history and fun facts. The Forbidden city itself needs at least one full day tour, but we managed to take glimpse of it before noon, take nice photos and have fun. We had a quick lunch at a western style Chinese buffet on our way to the Great Wall. This left us enough time for sightseeing wall. The structure is truly impressive, a real wonder. Interestingly, two and a half hours there were sufficient to see the open sections of the wall, as we did not have to wait at any queue and kept a quick pace. We took the toboggan ride down which is not so scary as I thought, even slow at some sections. Finally, we were brought back at the hotel as planned. I think this is the sightseeing maximum possible in one day. The organization and tour guide were excellent, thus recommended.

          Wonderful experience
          For only a day in Beijing, this tour was a great opportunity to make the most of it. We had a lovely time with our guide Lucy, who not only showed us around the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, but provided us with much needed historical and cultural context and helped us with the translation. Perfectly organized tour; it just would not have been possible if we were on our own. Thank you, Lucy :)

        It was a great expierince seeing both the Longqingxia Gorge and the Great Wall.
        The driver was on time and we started the trip right away.
        The tour guide Linda was really friendly and gave us some information about the Great Wall as well as the history behind it during the drive. In general she was eager to give some insides during the whole trip,
        most of the time information wasn't really in depth though. She was answering all our questions regarding the trip and general questions about China. It was nice chatting with her.
        Although some problems arose on the way to the Great Wall (which weren't the fault of the driver nor the guide) they adopted quickly and changed plans accordingly. There weren't any inconvieniences for us, that was fantastic.
        The Longqingxia Gorge is really beautiful and I would definitly recommend going there. We took the boat back and forth and could take a lot of photos. Sometimes it felt a bit rushed, because the area was really big and there was a lot to see, but generally we had a great time there.
        Lunch took place in an actual local restaurant and not in a touristy place. Be aware of that, because it was a typical Asian place (loud, living animals in tanks and so on) and the tables were dirty. We didn't mind that, because we're used to stuff like that, but if you're sensitive regarding such matters talk to the guide beforehand or don't book the trip. The food was really tasty and they ordered a lot for us.
        We're really happy we booked the trip, because without the driver and the guide we wouldn't have made it to those two places, especially in such a fast and easy way. The guide handled everything regarding tickets and everything else.
        It was such memorable day. We definitly recommend seeing Longqingxia Gorge and the Great Wall.
        Altough the trip was really pleasent, the tour company didn't answer in chat before the the trip started which caused some inconvienience for us. That's why we can only give 4.5 stars.
