Great tour of top places in Beijing

5.00Great tour. Wendy was our tour guide and we had a private driver. Wendy was able to show us so many cool places. Sadly Tiananmen Square (where Maos painting is) was closed due to 9/3 80th anniversary WW2 parade however Wendy was able to drive us slowly by it so we could see everything. She gave a very detailed history of every stop. We then went to the forbidden city and other locations after. Since we were able to move quickly we changed a bit of our tour to do everything but the Great Wall the first day. This allowed us to have a bit later pickup and more time at the Great Wall on the second day. Overall great tour. Would have Wendy as a tour guide again.
An absolute must-do!

5.00I cannot say enough amazing things about this tour. Catherine, my guide, was perhaps the best I’ve ever had. I was only in Beijing for three days so I wanted to see as much as possible and she made it happen. We saw all the popular sites like Tiananmen Square, the forbidden Palace, the Great Wall, the summer palace, and more. She was expertly fluent in English and thoughtfully explained the history and cultural significance of each site. She was able to answer all of my questions and she was clearly very knowledgeable about each one. All of the sites were incredible. They’re so steep in history yet feel so modernly striking, I cherish every moment that I had experiencing them. It was also incredibly convenient to have a private driver as many of these sites are far apart. Our driver was both punctual and courteous. His driving was smooth and very well experienced. I think the tour is a good balance of immersive sightseeing and relaxation in between the sites. If you’re only in Beijing for a little bit or even if you’re staying there for a long time, this tour is absolutely worth doing to see all of the most amazing sites in an efficient amount of time. Definitely request Catherine if you can, she’s an absolute gem who made this tour 10 times more meaningful and memorable.

5.00We had a great back-to-back days of tours in Beijing. First, Susie was a fantastic tour guide and took us to the Great Wall followed by the Summer Palace. She was very informative and a pleasure to spend the day with. One the second day, Justin led us on tours of Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Hutongs, and Summer Palace. He was great - we learned so much about the city and its history. Could not have had a better set of guides.

5.00We had an amazing experience with our tour! Our guides, Amy and Spring, were friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about Chinese history. They gave excellent explanations at every site we visited and even offered great suggestions for the days we explored on our own. The itinerary was well-organized, and everything went smoothly. Beijing is full of incredible sights, and thanks to Amy and Spring, we got so much more out of our visit. We hope to return one day and explore even more of China! Highly recommended—thank you both!
