5.00First of all I thank Linda for validating my reservation for the next day, just 11am before our departure, thank you for her efficiency for finding us a driver for our day at the Great Wall Mutianyu and Summer Palace. Everything went very well with our personal driver, Joe for our day. Thank you for his punctuality, kindness and attentiveness throughout the day. Joe's conduct is calm and we feel safe with him. Change program, visit the Summer Palace first which is a good idea, because after we arrive at the Great Wall pile hair for lunch. Then Joe drops us off for lunch, then access to the Great Wall Mutianyu. All the ticket bookings are very well organized by Linda and Joe, just the Waiting time for the entrance to the sites, which we are lucky because not long at all. On the way back to the hotel, we talked to Joe at length in English and French, even though he has to use Google Translator. We paid Joe at the end of our day, whose rate was clearly set by Linda in advance the day before. (No surprises) I obviously rating our driver Joe and Linda with 5 ⭐️
Super professional and kind
