We took a full-day tour of the Forbidden City and the Great Wall – and we were absolutely thrilled! Everything was perfectly organized, from the on-time pickup to the smooth flow of the entire tour. Our tour guide was especially outstanding – very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the history of the sites. It was fascinating to listen to her explanations, and she was able to answer all of our questions with ease. We would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore these incredible places!

The guide took us from the hotel and left us back to the hotel. He took care of everything (tickets, access at the Great Wall, even water for us). He was very kind, very professional. He waited for us to see everything, to buy souvenirs and to eat/drink. The best experience I had with a guide !! Recommend it 100%

Our tour guide Kevin made our visit to the Great Wall of China unforgettable. Their enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of the history behind the wall brought the ancient stones to life kevin was patient with our questions and ensured everyone in our group had a chance to explore at their own pace. They took us to less crowded sections of the wall, allowing us to enjoy the stunning views without feeling rushed. We appreciated kevin's attention to detail and dedication to providing a memorable experience. If you're planning a trip to the Great Wall, we highly recommend booking a tour with kevin.

I hired this tour service without knowing that it would take me the surprise of having the Chinese Wall for my friends and me. We enjoyed the wall just for ourselves and took incredible photos. Excellent service from our guide Lucy. I recommend it.
