Helen was an awesome tour guide. She gave us lots of background information on all the sites we visited. The best part was she made sure we were able to go toboggan down even though the attraction they stopped letting people stand in line. Thank you Helen for making our first visit to Beijing so exciting.

The trip was incredible, the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden Palace were great, we saw everything without getting too tired and learned about the history. The guide was amazing too, super funny.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rocky as our tour guide for our visit to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China, and he was truly fantastic. From start to finish, Rocky was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made sure everyone in the group was happy, comfortable, and enjoying themselves the entire time. His explanations about Chinese history and culture were fascinating and easy to follow, and you could tell he really loves what he does. What stood out most was how thoughtful and kind he was. He went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best experience possible, even taking beautiful photos of us with his professional camera so we could remember the day. If you’re visiting Beijing, I can’t recommend Rocky highly enough. He’s not just a tour guide. he’s the reason our trip was unforgettable.

Helen (our guide), was able to share her deep knowledge of the places we visited, making every moment of our two day visit interesting and educational. We enjoyed a fast-paced 48 hours with a small group, enjoying an experience which would have been difficult to arrange independently. It was the highlight of our two weeks in China and Hong Kong.

Excellence is the name of the game. Rocky was superb and the experience top notch. For one day in Beijing it couldn't be better. Forbidden city, great wall and everything in between. Highly recommended.

I went on a full day tour with Rocky in the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China, which was great! Rocky is very knowledgeable and it is evident that he cares about the people in the group. We stopped many times for pictures taken by Rocky at various locations. The explanations and pace were great, and he helped everyone with every concern. Would definitely recommend!

Great experience! Hit all the popular places with transportation included. Lots of walking!! Beautiful autumn day for the Great Wall. Helen was an excellent tour guide. She was kind, funny and extremely knowledgeable on all the facts about each location. She went out of her way to show us all the “good spots” for pictures etc in each location visited.
