5.00Our tour to the Great Wall, the Jade Factory, and the Ming Tombs was an unforgettable experience! Everything was perfectly organized, and we enjoyed every minute of the day. Our guide, Judy, was absolutely outstanding. Her knowledge of Chinese history and culture is truly impressive, and she shared fascinating stories that made every place we visited come alive. She explained everything in such an engaging and easy-to-understand way that we learned a lot while having a great time. Judy also took wonderful care of us throughout the entire tour, making sure we were comfortable and helping us with everything we needed. On top of that, she took beautiful, professional-looking photos of us that we will treasure as wonderful memories of our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Judy, for making our visit so special. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting Beijing—she is truly the best guide you could hope for!

3.00We have only a 30 minutes for Summer Palace (foreseen 90 minutes) and 30 minutes for Temple of Heaven (forseen 60 minutes) and the tour guide doesn’t speak good English. A little bit disappointed. For the rest, all places are worth to see.

5.00Perfect excursion to see the most important points of Beijing in one day!! The Forbidden City was incredible, and I believe having an excellent guide like Jenny makes the experience even better; she not only told us about and showed us its culture and iconic places, but she also protected us from the heat and the sun!! The food was the best of our 18 days of travel in Asia!!!! It was simply a perfect day!!!!! Thank you, Jenny!!!!🤗

5.00With a limited amount of time in Beijing I was looking for a tour that would give me an in-depth look into some of the most historic sites. This tour definitely fulfilled my wishes. The tour guide Mary made it that much more enjoyable with her friendly demeanor, her patience, flexibility and all the historical information she shared. I would highly recommend this tour!

5.00We got to see the entire Forbidden City with a guide (Makhael Shi) who constantly told us about the importance and history of what we got to see. We also had time to look around ourselves and so that everyone had to take it in their stride. Lunch was a buffet with a mix of Western food and Chinese food so everyone had something to eat. 10/10
