Helen was fantastic. She was patient, friendly, approachable, fun and most importantly very knowledgeable. She made the whole trip so fun, enriching and eye-opening. I would have been lost if I had not joined this trip. Kudos to Helen for making this trip a very memorable one for my wife and I.

A day tour to the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. Our guide Helen, who is friendly and efficient, explained everything very clearly and helpfully. We are very satisfied with the tour.”

Wow! Helen set an example of hitting the most questions visitors expect. Her knowledge of history and factual points of visiting site were what we want to see and hear. It’s all about what are the “take home” knowledge we gained? Her humor of Chinese cultural fusion with futuristic life are remarkable! I’m not surprised all participants view the same level of admiration on her! Thank you, Helen! Sonny & Cho from Los Angeles

The trip was effectively planned to see three main POI in Beijing, along with a guided tour to learn about China’s history. Our guide, Rocky, was great with the stories, ensuring washroom breaks, and also being a professional photographer to help us make memories at Tiananmen, Forbidden City and Great Wall of China. Highly recommended!

This tour managed to fit everything into 1 day which was great for our short time in Beijing. Appreciated the pick up from the hotel. Rocky was a great tour guide, plenty of suggestions and history about the Palace and the Great Wall.

Excellent informative trip. Rocky was a fantastic guide - funny, knowledgeable and well organised. The Forbidden City was really interesting and the Great Wall was an amazing experience, including ski lift up to the wall and toboggan run down from it. Definitely good to do as organised tour. Thanks Rocky!
