Fabulous Beijing Experience - Just finished this tour, and loved every bit of it! Husband and I had just arrived in Beijing last night to visit our son who attends school in China. Awakened early to meet our delightful guide, Michael in our hotel lobby. He ushered us into a comfortable and clean car complete with a wonderful driver. Driver dropped us at the entrance to Tiananmen Square, the Emperor’s Palace and Forbidden City. Michael helped us navigate all the security checks and shared lots of fascinating history, as well as laughed with and engaged with the guys about all sorts of American sports, especially love of NBA players and games. After a thorough visit there, we were picked up by our driver and delivered to a fabulous restaurant for our first, and I’d guess possibly best Asian meal we’ll experience! Onward then to this beautiful section of the Great Wall! It was so truly magnificent to be able to climb those ancient steps and experience the beauty. We highly recommend this tour; especially Michael. He’s a wonderful guide, and a fantastic person!

Great Tour of the Forbidden City and Great Wall – Highly Recommended! - We took a full-day tour of the Forbidden City and the Great Wall – and we were absolutely thrilled! Everything was perfectly organized, from the on-time pickup to the smooth flow of the entire tour. Our tour guide was especially outstanding – very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of the sites. It was fascinating to listen to her explanations, and she was able to answer all of our questions with ease. We would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore these incredible places!

Amazing experience - The guide took us from the hotel and left us back to the hotel. He took care of everything (tickets, access at the Great Wall, even water for us). He was very kind, very professional. He waited for us to see everything, to buy souvenirs and to eat/drink. The best experience I had with a guide !! Recommend it 100%

Your guide - Our tour guide Kevin made our visit to the Great Wall of China unforgettable. Their enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of the history behind the wall brought the ancient stones to life kevin was patient with our questions and ensured everyone in our group had a chance to explore at their own pace. They took us to less crowded sections of the wall, allowing us to enjoy the stunning views without feeling rushed. We appreciated kevin's attention to detail and dedication to providing a memorable experience. If you're planning a trip to the Great Wall, we highly recommend booking a tour with kevin.

My dream to know The Chinese Wall - I hired this tour service without knowing that it would take me the surprise of having the Chinese Wall for my friends and me. We enjoyed the wall just for ourselves and took incredible photos. Excellent service from our guide Lucy. I recommend it.
