5.00Lili was our guide who is a professional and knowledgeable guide. She picked us up at 6 am from the airport and we went directly to visit the Great Wall of China. Everything went super smooth - we did not have to worry about anything as she took great care of us. The car which was provided for this day was a big , clean and comfortable van. During our trip she made a lot of pics for us, and answered all our questions. After visiting the wall we went to the Summer Palace. Lili studied history which is a huge benefit if you would like to understand the stories in depths. Next day, we went to Tianmen Square, Forbidden city and Temple of Heaven. Again, all went smooth, all doors were opened without any waiting time - which was a huge benefit. We are experienced travellers but without her we could not have organized this day so perfectly. She also helped us on board with how to use WeChat, Alipay, public transport and Didi. She recommended places to eat and shared much more useful ideas. Thank you Lili!
Amazing experience! Thank you jack!

5.00Jack was a very friendly guide! His english was fluent and he tried his best to make sure we understood the details of the place we were going to. He was a huge help in suggesting other activities we could consider in our next few days in Beijing! He was also very flexible, helping us to switch from the open-air cable car to the closed one due to wet weather.
Excellent service and seamless communication!

5.00We booked the tour a day in advance, and everything went smoothly. Our driver, Jack, speaks good English and picked us up on time. During the drive to the wall, he told us some history and was consistently friendly. On-site, he obtained the tickets online for us and accompanied us to the gondola. The car was clean and comfortable. His driving style was very pleasant. We would recommend Jack to our family and friends.
