A superb day with Thomas our driver and guide, during our visit to the great wall of mutianyu, who picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. We had a pleasant ride, pleasant driving and bottled water provided inside the vehicle, during which Thomas shared anecdotes about peking in English and Chinese. He took care of our tickets and guided us very well during our visit. Thanks to Thomas for his kindness and flexibility when we asked to visit the summer palace at the last moment, during which time he once again showed his guiding skills, which made it possible to return this exceptional day. We highly recommend.

We did a tour with the private driver and inclusion of lunch at a local restaurant. Pick up was on time, very comfortable and also informative as Andy provided little facts about the Great wall as we approached it! Andy also took great group photos for us and then allowed us to do the hike on our own time and meet him after a few hours, where we then went for lunch. The lunch was absolutely delicious! And there was soo much food on offer :) A great experience altogether- would reccomend!

Thanks to Larry’s help we were able to take advantage of a 20-hour stopover in Beijing very efficiently. He took us to the Chinese Wall from the airport. We also recommended some food places to taste local food at a very reasonable price. Also speaking very good English helped us with Chinese translations in many places where they did not speak English. In conclusion, if you plan to go to Beijing and especially the Chinese Wall, do not hesitate to contact Larry.
