A great day in Beijing with Mary

5.00We had a great tour with Mary of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Mary made it incredibly easy to navigate the booking system, the queues and entry to both locations which really removed all of the stress. Mary was a fantastic tour guide, she shared an incredible wealth of knowledge with us about both sites. There’s so much history and information about both areas that we would have missed out on with our her. Mary was very warm, polite and had a great sense of humour. We’re ever glad that she was our tour guide. I would very much recommend this experience.

4.00I was very well taken care of, they contacted the day before to pass the search time. Car with air conditioning and with everything necessary for my well being. Driver and guide Muphri very attentive and polite. Even without speaking Chinese and fluent English explained everything and every route of the tour, as well as the local history.
Perfect to see all in one day

5.00This section of the wall is better organized for visitors. Highly recommend this if you have time for just one section of the wall, the tour operator was also very good.

5.00First of all, Jenny & Mr Lee are awesome. Lee made sure we were picked up on time and even came inside the hotel to greet us, even though the original plan was to meet us on the corner away from our hotel. Drive was smooth, no issues. Jenny was the first person we had met who spoke great english and wanted to make sure we had the best time! She was helpful, lovely and the best tour guide we've had! She offers you her recommendations but at the end of the day, just wants you to pick the option that'll make your trip the happiest. Whenever we went through security, she was always watching us and guiding us to make sure we all stuck together! We were taken to a tea house and got to experience our first tea ceremony, which was so interesting and delicious! Thank you Jenny & Mr Lee for being our tour guide and driver for the day! Hopefully see you at the next trip! 🩷
