Hospitable Driver - Our driver in Beijing, Ge Yong, was exceptionally hospitable and patient. He recommended the best options for each attraction, helping us make the most of our trip. Even when we mistakenly provided the wrong hotel pick-up location, he remained understanding and accommodating, promptly adjusting to pick us up without any complaint. We truly appreciated his professionalism and kindness.

Excellent day especially because of Jessica - The tour was excellent! Jessica is really great. She is so knowledgeable and gave us all the history and stories we wanted. She is also very friendly and kind and made the whole day really lovely. This was my second trip to the Great Wall, but I enjoyed it more because of the stories Jessica told us. The Ming tombs are also reslly cool, it's so peaceful and reallt beautiful walking along the sacred path. I highly recommend this trip!

Great tour with perfect timing - Due to the early start I was among the first 4 visitors on the wall, Sunshine, cherry blossoms and an amazing view over several kilometers of wall. Observation cameras and air probes impact the historic impression but it's nonetheless a beutiful place. The Ming Dingling was a little disappointing: Three bog red boxes (sarkophagi) and several small ones plus three stone benches (thrones) approx. 25m under ground, that's it regarding the mausoleum. However, the above ground park with gates, old trees etc. is nice. Mr. Guo arranged ticketing perfectly, was good driver and took good care of me.

Day tour of Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs Tour (Dec 2024) - We were in Beijing last week and Lily was our guide. Lily was capable in using both English and Chinese to accommodate us and our teenage son. She brought us to Mutianyu Great Wall and the Ming Tombs. She was very knowledgeable and shared interesting stories related to the sites we visited. She also taught us other parts of histories such as the Qin dynasty. Throughout the day, she was very patient and caring as well as took good care of us. We enjoyed our outing tremendously and highly recommend her services to folks coming to Beijing for tours.

Driver Service to the Mutianyu Great Wall from central Beijing - I used Jenny’s service to visit the Great Wall on a limited-time layover in Beijing. My Driver, “Jack” (Fei), was very punctual, picking me up at my hotel with a friendly smile and a very clean, fresh-smelling vehicle. I was pleased to have 2 bottles of spring water provided in addition to the water I’d brought with me. Jack was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about recounting many facts on Great Wall history. To my delight, he also spoke very good English. It was great that this service included being delivered almost right to the chairlift without having to walk a long distance from the car park. Jack ensured that I was safely on the lift, and followed me up to the Wall. He was great at explaining to me where/when/ how to descend (lift or toboggan) and meet him afterward. It was also great that he was happy to take some photos of me on the Wall as I was there alone, before leaving me to explore on my own. Jack’s attention to detail made the whole adventure truly comfortable and seamless for me. I think it would be a nice touch were the package price to include a snack and beverage from the small food outlet at the base of the Wall, or perhaps the cost of the lift/toboggan up and down from the Wall. I am pleased with Jenny’s service: safe, clean and convenient and would recommend it to others. Thank you Jenny and Jack!
