My tour guide, Kevin, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and fluent in English. He took really good care of me - picked me up on time, got all the tickets, shared many facts about the great wall and summer palace and clicked numerous photos of me. I was traveling solo and felt like I had a friend with me the whole time. 😃
