First and foremost. The Best Western Palm Island in San Diego’s Shelter Island, is a wonderful place to stay. However whatever you do, do not use Priceline to book your hotel stay. You are more secure with the actual hotel. My wife became really sick and we requested to cancel our hotel. Priceline requested for us to show proof that my wife was sick, which we did. They would go on to not cancel our hotel stay, even though we spoke directly to the hotels and they were more than willing to cancel with full refund. Priceline decided to go with policy over displaying genuine care. Why even ask for proof of medical record to just drag out the process, and go against the hotels final word.

Great tour led by maggie…she was knowledgeable and informative. The driver was well informed and knew the route well. Overall, great tour with great weather

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!

Fantastic experience. Had a great time exploring the wonders of China. Maggie was an awesome tour guide and would highly recommend.

- Really good experience - good tour guide [Maggie] - good timing - great history to learn, learned heaps about the special places

Lucy was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and her English was outstanding. She knew what excursions to point out and entries went swiftly. I can definitely recommend Lucy’s tour

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.

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.

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!

Wendy 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. We felt completely looked after and grateful for her attention to our well-being. Highly recommend!

The tour was great! Sofia was a great host and having a guide is essential to enjoy the day and understand a little more about local history. Worth the time and the money without a question!

Tour guide Jerry was amazing and extremely helpful. Made us feel so comfortable and took the time to explain everything in detail. Highly recommend this tour.

We got great service and excellent explanations during our tour from Kevin Kang and the driver. Pickup at the hotel, quick passes through the entries. We learned about the history of China and the buildings. Thanks for the wonderful day!

Had a fanatic day at the forbidden city and the Great Wall. Lucy, was an excellent guide and made the whole day very special. 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.
