My tour guide was (Licia Shi) Lisa. She guided us on a tour of the Geat Wall and Summer Palace in Beijing China. Lisa was knowledgeable. personable and very enjoyable throughout our day together. She picked a great eating place and took us to a wonderful jade factory store along the way. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a guide in this area. ❤️,

Amazing experience between from Temple of Haeven and the Great Wall with Alice guide passionate, attentive, expert, kind. We have learnt about the meaning and structure of Temple of Haeven avoiding lines and enjoying the garden too. After a good chinese lunch and through the green envoiroment of Beijing discovering apples and chestnuts trees in it, we arrived in the astonishing part of the Grear Wall,Mutinyau. Alice told us with psssiin about the history of this famous terrific site. We could take wonderful pictures as unforgettable memories and moreover appreciate the Nature surroinding the Great Wall, birds, marvelous trees, astonishing mountains. Thank you this tour we can add important memories to our Beijing travel,richer in knowledge and experience about the Chinese people and country.

We had a very good experience with Edward and driver Li. We totally recommend going with a guide and private driver to skip long waiting line and learn about the place

Great experience. Beautiful tour and Edward knew all the tricks to be on time and to be efficient. We recommend leaving around 6am Beijing to arrive at the opening and avoid the crazy crowds. LiQingShang was an amazing driver, the car was so comfy and clean and he had snacks and drinks. Thank you

Sherry was an outstanding guide. She explained everything clearly and took us to the best spots at the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. On top of that, she’s a talented photographer who captured amazing moments from our trip. Highly recommended!

My mom and I booked a private tour to the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Our first stop was the Mutianyu Great Wall. The scenery was breathtaking, definitely worth the climb up and down the many steps (and a little sweat!). Afterward, we enjoyed a buffet lunch with a good variety of food. We then headed to the Summer Palace, a place rich in history with serene views of the lake and colorful buildings. It’s a must-visit if you’re in Beijing. Shelly was our guide and Dapeng our driver. Both were professional, welcoming, and kind. Shelly was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history behind both sites. She even acted as our personal photographer, always offering to take pictures and guiding us to the best spots for memorable shots. The car was clean and comfortable, and Dapeng kindly provided bottled water during the trip. He always greeted us with a smile and was especially thoughtful, even opening the car door for my mom. We truly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend both the experience and the team.

Excellent organised tour to the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Our guide Aurora was very well organisaed, kept very good pace of the tour and took us to the right places to get the most of the places we were supposed to visit. Great recommendations like to take the boat in the Summer place. She was also very informative and helpful when we discussed different topics helping us understand the Chinese culture and history.

The private experience for the Great Wall is worth it due to the large crowds and tour groups we saw. With the time we selected, we had descended the wall by the time the larger groups were arriving.

My family really recommends this tour, and especially if you have the opportunity to get Sherry as a guide and Zhang as a driver. Zhang drove smoothly, no hard brakes and very nimbly, and Sherry is so knowledgeable and funny! She offered really indepth information in an interesting way, worked wonderfully with us to let us explore at our pace yet keep ahead of the business brought by big tours. Paying extra for this private tour is truly worth it, especially as you can stop on the side of the road and buy truly delicious fruits! And Sherry was on top of contacting us to arrange a smooth and on time pickup, thank you!
