We had the pleasure of exploring the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall with Michael, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He picked us up very early, ensuring we arrived before the crowds. As a result, we had the rare opportunity to enjoy the Wall in almost complete peace — perfect for walking at our own pace and capturing stunning, unobstructed photos. Michael was incredibly efficient and well-organized, and his English is excellent, which made communication smooth and pleasant. Beyond that, he’s very warm, knowledgeable, and shared fascinating insights about Chinese history, culture, and everyday life. If you’re planning to visit Beijing, Michael is an absolute gem — professional, friendly, and truly passionate about what he does. We highly recommend him for any sightseeing tours in and around Beijing!

John Terry was our guide in the tour to Mutianyu and the Ming Tombs. The booking of the service went very well, he confirmed every detail of the tour in advance and was always ready on the time that was agreed. He has a great knowledge of Chinese History and his explanations were great to make us understand better what we were visiting. His English is very good and he was always nice and helpful. All together it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend him for your visit in Beijing!
