About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- m_abates0 contributionsWonderful day tour to forbidden city and great wallWe did a day tour to the Forbidden City and Great Wall. Lucy was a fantastic guide. She was very friendly and gave us loads of information and history. The tour was very well organised and run at a good pace and we saw soo many different things. Seeing the Great Wall was very impressive and we had fun doing the tabogan ride. At the end there was even a Chinese tea tasting, which we really enjoyed. It’s a great way to spend a day when visiting Beijing.Written 7 October 2024
- WanderlustBlondee0 contributionsInformative Guide, Amazing Views & Great Weather!We had the pleasure of Maggie being our Tour Guide- she’s funny, informative and happy to answer any and all questions. She was super proactive messaging us the night before with things to take with us. We started at with an informative chat at Tiananmen Square before going into the Forbidden City, then a buffet lunch before ending at the Mutianyu Great Wall. She was great with taking photos- even suggesting where we stand as well as giving great info at each stop. Definitely recommend taking the cable car up and the luge down to add to the experience! We lucked out with the great weather too.Written 7 October 2024
- stevenlO3948FL0 contributionsExcellent and fun private tour to the Great WallWe have just come back from an amazing and fun private tour to the Mutianyu Great Wall. It was an excellent trip. Wendy our guide was such fun, very knowledgeable and we were very grateful for her assistance navigating us through the Tour. Wendy and the driver were very helpful taking us on the private transfer to the wall, ensuring we got on the shuttle bus, taking us to the cable car, helping us find the best spots on the wall and guiding us to the toboggan. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Beijing and I would recommend. Thank you Wendy.Written 7 October 2024

Do yourself a favor and book this tour!Written 6 October 2024
- T9421LAbg0 contributionsDo yourself a favor and book this tourSuch a great experience! Lucy made things easy- pickup from hotel was seamless, tickets were purchased for us in advance. Seeing the Forbidden City and getting to the Great Wall in one day would have been a daunting experience if not for this tour. Lucy spoke great English and was so knowledgeable- we learned so much. Do yourself a favor and book this tour- you won’t be disappointed!Written 6 October 2024
- 649JimV0 contributionsIncredible Tour and Experience with the BEST GuideI absolutely loved my private tour with Lucy. If you can request her, I highly recommend it. The timing from spot to spot is incredible. They keep you moving without feeling rushed. The section of the Great Wall had super views and there is plenty of time there. I loved the lunch spot too. The Forbidden City is an amazing spot too. Lucy is conversational, easy to understand and very friendly. She makes you feel like a VIP. Thanks!Written 5 October 2024
- Maps077073716960 contributionsBeijing palace and Great WallIt was a very good tour and Jeff is a great guide. All is well taken care off so you can sit and enjoy the sightseeing and the tales!Written 5 October 2024
- jamief9050 contributionsExcellent tour!We made the mistake of going to a packed Beijing during golden week but we hardly noticed the waiting time for everything on the tour as Maggie and the driver were able to navigate to quiet entrances. We had an enjoyable tour, would recommend!Written 5 October 2024
- islastar0 contributionsGreat tourWe did this tour with Maggie as our guide. It was excellent and we felt we saw the main sites of Beijing very efficiently. Our trip clashed with golden week so it was very busy with Chinese tourists but Maggie organised the itinerary so that we would miss the crowds as much as possible and got us to the entrances with the shortest queues so we hardly waited at all when we saw other people queuing for over 1 hour. Maggie was informative and knowledgable and could answer our questions. She also was excellent at pointing out good photos stops for her to take pictures of us. With it being a private tour we could go at our own pace and the option to add the show was given on the day and we decided as we were ahead of schedule to add it in - definitely the least important part of the day but good to see.Written 5 October 2024
- Suzanne S0 contributionsThis was a great tour. Highly recommended.Jerry was our tour guide. He did an amazing job and made our tour of Beijing exceptionally fun for my self and my friend. He was fun, helpful, and knowledgeable. He helped me to visit the Great Wall and also helped us with our shopping and souvenir gifts. Mr Xu (our driver) was also very kind, polite & helpful. All in all a great day. I will recommend this tour to my friends.Written 5 October 2024

Wendy was the perfect tour guide. We could tell from the moment we met her that she was going to be great fun. She was very knowledgeable and was able to interpret for us when we visited the market, guiding us to the vendors we wanted to buy from. She didn’t hurry us, and didn’t bombard us with too much information - it was just right. She was very efficient in getting the transport we needed and she went above and beyond what was expected - at one point she very kindly helped another couple to get a taxi by calling it through her own DiDi account as they didn’t have a Chinese phone number - they were very grateful! What a kind thing to do. We loved the Acrobats at the Red Theatre, and can highly recommend this tour. It was only the fact that I was unwell that meant that we left straight after the show - Wendy was keen for us to try some tea - next time we will! We hope to be back here soon, and will definitely be contacting Wendy and recommending her to friends.
