Amazing tour with amazing tour guide!! - It was an amazing tour. Especially our Tourguide Jenny Liang was absolutely amazing. She has some much knowledge about the chinese history and we felt absolutely comfortable and save every single moment with her. I can absolutely recommend to ask the touring company for having Jenny Liang as your tour guide. She makes every trip to an amazing experience. I will for sure look for another trip with her in the future. Thank you so much Jenny ☺️

Beijing - I had an unforgettable day exploring the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, all thanks to Jenny. She is one of the best tour guides I've ever had extremely professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Her insights brought history to life, and she made the entire experience smooth, engaging, and enjoyable. I highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for an exceptional tour in China!

Solo Traveller Trying to make the most of 24 hours in Beijing! - Great tour that covered many major sites in 1 day. Definitely more to discover though. Lee had great English, great recommendations, and shared fun facts throughout the day.

Amazing day - I had an exciting day. The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Jenny Liang was amazing she made us relive history with her stories of the forbidden city. I will recommend her over again.

First tour in Beijing - The sites visited were nice, but the number of people present, although in low season time, restricted the experience itself. Personally, when visiting historical places I want a more immersive experience, not possible with so many people. The guide was excellent and concentrated more on the experience and fun than on historical details that can be found on books, she gave us just fundamental topics and some details. Thank you, Jenny, you made the day unforgettable!

Uninspired, unorganized, glad it's over - The tour started via a WhatsApp message the night before the tour, saying "be ready for tour tomorrow 7:35”, the email said 7:30. I arrived at the lobby (the pickup location) 15 min early, and I started to panic when the tours that were waiting outside said I wasn't on their list. At 7:45, calling back this vague Whatsapp messenger, got me an answer from a strange man who seemed to only speak Mandarin. This was in fact, our tour guide Michael or Lee as he likes to be known by. He told me we'd be leaving soon. His handshake revealed a wet hand, still drying after taking a number 2 in my hotel lobby during the critical pickup time. He made a warning to "have passport ready, very important.". Then proceed to smoke and stand confidently by the road to await the van. Besides offering a water and some very dull trivia, Lee was hard to understand, even as a native English speaker, I had to concentrate to hear through his accent. And when I did understand him, it seemed like it wasn't worth the effort to learn about Tai chi and other irrelevant facts. My brain finally put a block on his voice and I tried to recover from the initial stress the late tour had caused in me. My group had 6 visitors and the other 5 were not native English speakers. I never asked Lee to clarify or expand on details he shared because I found his explanations and facts extremely dull and unhelpful. He waved his flag thru the Forbidden City and shouted "picture here." It was as if a child was directing us through his favorite spots on the playground. Lee said take 10 min and I'll be over there waiting. Other guides were spending the time giving explanations of the various buildings and walking with their tour. Lee didn't even bother to know anyone's name, and he referred to one tourist as the man from India. Important to him was waving that tour flag and calling after us like lost children at a fair. He even had one member of our group by the tickets to the Forbidden City alone and at the risk of incriminating himself sinceee told him he was to say that the purchased tickets were for his family. The tea ceremony was a very professional presentation by a young lady with excellent English. Unfortunately they pressured us after to buy after and the tea is greatly over priced. I do not recommend buying more than the smallest sizes. The jade store before lunch was dull and we felt pressured to buy something. We did make a purchase, but they pushed for further purchases and did not make us feel comfortable. As part of the tour, Lee took us to a horrible Chinese buffet. One of the worst I've ever experienced. The lady of the restaurant did not speak English, and refused all requests for more food or refills on water. "Meo, meo!". The food was not tasty or reflective of traditional Chinese food and was barely enough to feed our little group with only 5 partaking (one was a vegetarian). There was literally one coke given to quench the thirst of 6 adults. An additional coke was provided after I requested it and pointed and begged like a caveman to the lady. Finally, the highlight of our experience, The Great Wall. After a drive of at least 45 min it was at 2:15. Lee lead us to the start and suggested we walk and be back by 3:40, declaring we'd need to leave the wall at 3:25 to make it back in time. I had been zoning out this man out the entire trip, but I paid attention to the times. A few members of our group were older and it seemed impossible to walk up the path to get to wall, even for a younger man, so we jointly agreed to buy a cable car which Lee demanded reimbursement for. Giving us vague directions to find an ATM, he took my passport along with a few others, and bought the cable tickets. Thank goodness my passport was returned, and Lee gave us our tickets and left on the tour bus. After a short cable car drop off, the hike on the Wall was more challenging than we expected, leaving one person on the tour to stay near the cable car drop off, while the rest struggled onward, trying to self manage their hiking, timing and balance with many people pushing past them impatiently. Our group split up for a time, and I barely managed to get the the end of the first part of the Wall. This would be impossible to do without the cable car as though I'm relatively young, I am not an Olympic athlete and would not have been able to walk on the lower parts of the wall with so little time. We waited for each group member at the cable car point, and went down together, after finding an ATM to reimburse and avoid the wrath of Lee who could only accept cash or Alipay for the cable car tickets. Seeing the Wall was a good experience, but Lee deserves no credit for this experience with his lazy and uninspired approach to the tour. I would not recommend this tour and I'm relieved to be free of Lee and his tedious exposition. Book with another tour or plan alone would be my suggestion.
