Jim, our driver was almost like a guide :) For the Mutianyu Great Wall, he guided us very well and we appreciate him telling us some details there. We asked him to bring us to a nice lunch stop which we had heard about from friends and he gladly brought us there. For the Summer Palace we were left on our own which was quite sad because we had limited time and would have needed more guidance which we feel should have been provided.

It was an extremely well organised tour. Mike had been in touch through WhatsApp since the booking and made sure all the necessary arrangements were made in the lead up to the trip. Communication was excellent throughout. Mr Yue was our driver for the trip and he was professional and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of China from him. He was very kind to my son and made sure we were comfortable throughout. We had such a wonderful day! Thank you Mr Yue! We will definitely reach out to Mike and Mr Yue again when we are back in Beijing.

Great experience and professionally organised. Our Driver (Mr. Wang) and the organiser (Mike) we're very helpful, friendly and reactive. These 'must sees' can be perfectly done in one day.
