    The tour was phenomenal. The driver picked us up from the hotel and we started the tour in Tien’man square, with the lovely Jenny, the tour guide, and the driver, Lee. Jenny explained everything in an energetic, assertive and clear way, making examples, going through every little detail and being friendly. We continued the tour in the forbidden city in which, she went through all the details about the square, the history, the numbers and symbols, while having a friendly smile at all time and taking fantastic pictures. We had a tea ceremony in which we weee able to try different kind of teas and visited a stone factory, in which we could buy jade, stones and jewellery. After lunch, we then went to the last stretch of the tour, the Great Wall of China. Jenny gave us options and suggested the best course and routes. Overall the tour was awesome, but the kindness and attitude of Jenny were the highlight of the tour. Thanks a million

    Great value for money in my opinion. Me and a friend only had two days in Beijing so it’s a great way to speed run the main tourist attractions stress free. Our guide Lisa was absolutely amazing. Great mix of a day and nicely broken up. Food was very generously included.

    The Great Wall and the Forbidden City cannot be squeezed in one day. This was the only tour that offered a visit at both of these landmarks on the same day. So it implied that it is possible, but in reality we spent most of the day stuck in traffic an we had only an hour at the Great Wall (barely enough to take some photos and walk the distance between the two closest towers) and even less time at the Forbidden City. The next day I visited the Forbidden City again, because it was obvious that I missed 90% of it in the tour. It really needs a whole day. It didn't make much difference, but I have to mention that the tour guide didn't come in the Forbidden City with us. He made up some story about the rules and restrictions, to make us think groups are not even allowed to enter. (The next day I have seen several groups inside, so it felt like he just wanted to save the price of his ticket.) If I had a chance to repeat my visit in Beijing, I would definitely book another tour only for the Wall, and visit the Forbidden City on my own.

    Great tour, well organized. Unfortunately we could not enter Tiananmen square due to a congress, but this was replaced with a tea house visit. Our guide, Lisa was exceptional, great knowledge, supportive during the whole trip. We really thank you for the outstanding service!
