Excellent hospitality from Mr.Guo - Mr. Guo was our driver during our trip, and he was exceptionally kind, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the entire day. As I was travelling with my elderly parents, we truly appreciated how attentive and patient he was, especially at Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace. He went above and beyond to assist my mother, who has difficulty walking — helping to carry her bag, looking out for her safety, and making sure she was comfortable at all times. On top of that, he also took so many wonderful photos for us, helping us capture beautiful memories from the trip. We are genuinely grateful for his warmth and excellent service, and we highly recommend Mr. Guo to anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you so much, Mr. Guo!

Excellent experience - We scheduled a tour with Jenny to the Great Wall and the summer palace with an English speaking driver. Jenny kept us informed about the details, and the day of the tour, our driver, Mr. Guo, was waiting for us before 6.30 am. He was very kind, helpful, and a skilled driver. He arrived to the Great Wall complex by 7.40 am approx, which allowed us to explore with just a couple of people. It was exactly what we wanted as we could walk around without a bunch of people. By the time we finished exploring (about 11:00 am) people were just arriving. Mr. Guo took us to a place nearby to have lunch and after that, we went to the Summer Palace. We were able to go around at our own pace. We arrived close to 2.00 pm and were ready at about 5.00 pm. Mr. Guo was really helpful as he was the one showing the tickets at every entry point, he gave us basic information as we were on our way to the places we stopped by, and finally he brought us back to our hotel safe and sound. I recommend this tour and company without a doubt.

A top day on the Chinese wall and at the summer palace - We had a great day on the Chinese wall, thanks in part to our friendly and quiet driving driver Jim. The big advantage of this excursion is that you visit the summer palace in addition to the Chinese wall, and get plenty of time for that. All in all a highly recommended excursion.
