5.00We had such a great experience on this tour. Both the tour guide (Jeffrey) and the driver (Wang) were extremely punctual and professional. They were always on time and very friendly, which made the whole day feel so smooth. The hospitality was amazing! Our tour guide was especially kind, approachable, and easy to talk to. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Beijing, and you can tell he knows the city very well. He shared so many interesting facts and stories that really helped me and my family understand and appreciate the places we visited. Overall, we felt very well taken care of, and the experience was educational, comfortable, and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

5.00For two days, we explored the Ming Tombs, the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace with Linda Sun as our guide and Mr. Yang as our driver. Linda's empathy and willingness to help us was incredible, as was her willingness to explain every detail and attentive to our needs. A true luxury, as was Mr. Yang with his impeccable van and his always ready assistance. They were very open to last-minute changes and, above all, their speed in resolving issues. I highly recommend them.
