    Could not have been better! I can’t believe how much we saw in two days! We got to the Great Wall early ahead of the crowds on a holiday weekend and it was peaceful and beautiful. Food was incredible! Maggie was an excellent guide who knew so much history and made our trip truly special by going above and beyond. Thank you so much Maggie!

    I highly recommend this 2 day trip from Shanghai to Beijing via the bullet train. Amanda met us in the lobby of our hotel and we took a car to the train station in Shanghai. She came with us into the waiting area for our train and brought us on the train to our seats. It would have been very confusing without her help as we do not speak Chinese. The train ride was very pleasant and fun. Aaron our tour guide then met us as we disembarked the train and brought us to Mr. Jung, our driver for the next 2 days. Aaron is an exceptional tour guide who spoke wonderful English. We saw the Forbidden City, the old city of Beijing, Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall of China, and the Temple of Heaven Park. He then brought us back to the Beijing train station and put us on the train heading back to Shanghai. It was a great way to see everything you want to see in Beijing in 2 days.

    The trip was tiring as I travelled from Shanghai to Beijing early in the morning. But to my surprise, our tour guide Kris was awesome. She has a super cute personality and is a very straight forward person. Despite having walking disabilities, I walked for more than 5 hours without noticing. Kris made the whole trip so interesting, explaining the history of the Forbidden City (palace) making it so hard to lose attention. She also helped with my hotel booking making sure we were all packed in nicely and wanted to assist to take us to dinner. Unfortunately we were too tired and just needed rest. The next day, we wanted to sleep in later so she tailored the day so perfectly we got to experience the Great Wall of China, a great lunch as well as the temple of heaven perfectly. I left some belongings in the hotel and she arranged it to be delivered to us, causing no hassle to me at all. The whole trip was just awesome. Totally recommend Miss Kris!
