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.

Helen is the absolute best! She treats everyone in her group as family and will make sure everyone feels accommodated. She also makes sure to stay on track without making the experience feel rushed. Even as the time was running out to ride the toboggan, she made it happen for us. If Helen is your guide, you will have an amazing day!!

Rocky was efficient and very knowledgeable. He also takes time to take pics of the sites and everyone individually, which he later sends to you. We had a great time and would highly recommend!

From the hotel pick-up, showing us around during the tour, and dropping us back off at our hotel, Rocky was very knowledgeable and professional.

Beijing can be fast paced and there are a lot of requirements to visiting some of the world’s greatest attractions. This tour and specifically Helen, are a godsend. From detailed explanations on the process, history and enough free time to explore on your own, the entire tour was amazing. Helen, one of the kindest and knowledgeable tour guides I’ve had, is absolutely stunning. I wish I could give her 5 stars. I lost my wallet at the Great Wall and she went out of her way to help me retrieve it and get it back to me safe and sound. She is truly out of this world, and really made me appreciate China’s wonders even more Thank you, Helen!
