The best service to the Great Wall - Mark and the driver picked up us at our hotel in time and we headed to the Great Wall. He managed to get the tickets for the cable car and then he left us to enjoy the views.
We were back in Beijing at 3:30 pm and he chose a restaurant for us. Only after he was sure our meals were ordered, he left.
Mark also helped us to get the tickets for the Forbidden City.
You can ask him to go to Mutianyu or Badaling. There are no hidden costs, no surprises. The van is very comfortable with a conscious lady driver. I recommend Mark services to you all!

VIP Treatment on the Great Wall - We had an excellent time on this tour. Mark was a safe and friendly driver and his vehicle was clean and comfortable. We chose a day where the wall was inevitably busy, because it was the only day that we could squeeze it into our itinerary. Without Mark's help we would have had a very frustrating day. Instead, he guided us through confusing lines and crowds and kept us company the whole way up, even coming up to share information about the wall and take some photos for us, before he went back down to wait at our meeting point. If I were to come back, I would absolutely contact Mark to be our driver for our next adventure.

Efficiency, reliability and good humor, thank you for this great tour during our stopover in Beijing! - Great tour to the Great Wall and central Beijing thanks to Mark during our 12 hour layover. Perfect communication before our arrival to easily find ourselves at the airport without stress and without wasting time.
We left directly for the Mutianyu visit. Mark has a pass which allowed us to arrive directly at the departure of the cable car, which saved us from having to cross all the bus parking lots and take the shuttle. He was the one who bought us the tickets, always to save us time. His explanations about the history of the Great Wall were very informative and always with a smile. After the visit, we left for downtown Beijing. Mark recommended a typical and very nice restaurant not far from the historic center, which allowed us to take a walk around the Back Lake after the meal and an express tour of the city, always dropping us off at the best places to take photos . And finally back to the airport on time. Everything was perfect, we recommend 1000%.
We would never have done so much without his efficiency and his perfect knowledge of the places not to be missed. A huge thank you to him.

Great! - Everything was as described in the tour conditions and for one of the lowest prices! Driver was very friendly, also his English is very good. Pickup and return to the Airport was OK, at the Wall he waited for us as long as we needed. The Wall itself was a great experince, we enjoyed it. Recommended!

Great layover tour! - My family and I took this tour during our 9 hour layover in Beijing and we enjoyed every minute of it. Mark answered all our questions before our arrival and was great with email correspondence. Our guide Sally was sensational and helped us with everything from buying the entrance tickets, to taking us to the best souvenir shops and she gave us an interesting explanation of the history of the wall. Would highly recommend!
