Wonderful Beijing tour with Lilia from Leo's Private Tour

5.00We enjoyed a wonderful day with Lilia from Leo's Private Tour - visiting Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Lilia's knowledge of Chinese history and of each of the sites we visited was excellent and helped us have a much better understanding of the places we saw. Lilia's English is fantastic and her concern for us throughout the entire day was very much appreciated. We look forward to another tour with Lilia and her driver Mr Yang, and have no hesitation in recommending her to our friends should they visit Beijing.
Nice tour for 16 hours day layover in Beijing

4.00A great tour for a 16+ hour layover in Beijing. It’s best to be well rested beforehand, as you’ll be walking at a fast pace. The guide, Lilia, speaks English well, which is a huge plus. The Great Wall of China is incredible!
Must book!!

5.00When you go to Beijing, be sure to book from Leo’s guide and driver service— ask for Lilia to be your guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about all of the locations we went to and went as far as making sure our experience was extremely comfortable given that we brought along our elderly grandmother too. She also included a very nice additional tea ceremony experience for us which was very special! Our private driver Mr. Lu was amazing as well, friendly and very experienced. My daughter often gets car sick and she was fine!! Overall, from service all the way to the vehicle provided, it was top quality.
Mr. Ping - The best driver and guide you’ll have!

5.00Mr. Ping from Leo’s private tour provided excellent service throughout our trip. We had booked a two day tour seeing Mutianyu Great Wall, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Tianamen Square and Forbidden City. Mr. Ping was punctual, flexible and communicated well throughout our trip. He was knowledgeable about the sights, Beijing and China. He shared with us some fun facts and stories about Ming and Qing Dynstasies which we found super interesting. We had a great time with Mr. Ping who kindly offered to take great photos for us. I would highly recommend Mr. Ping as a driver and guide if you decide to visit Beijing. We will definitely be sharing our experiences with our friends and family.
Very professional guide,...

Amazing tour with April

5.00We had an incredible tour with April. I was worried that visiting both the Forbidden City and Great Wall of China in one day might be too much and perhaps too rushed given the distance. Nevertheless, due to the low season, there were hardly any queues or tourist crowds, and we spent a wonderful time walking around the imperial city and later on Mutianyu Great Wall. April was very friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited. I travelled with my 10yo daughter and April made the tour very interesting also for her and answered all of her questions in a very attentive way. This tour exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend April!
Awesome Experience!

5.00This was an excellent tour to see the three major points of interest in Beijing. Our tour guide, Susan, was excellent! Our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and had excellent English. I been to many tours around the world and this one was one of the best ones I have been on. Having the private tour was well worth the premium over group tours. Our driver would drop us off close to the point of interest and would be waiting to pick us up. The Great Wall at Mutianyu is a great place to see the wall. We were in Beijing for only 48 hours, and this tour was the highlight of the trip.
Helen was amazing

5.00Wow!!! It was an amazing bright and sunny day on June 29th, 2019. Yes, the sky was clear and sunny when we visited the Forbidden city and theGreat Wall. Saturday’s are considered a busy day, but our guide Helen planned the tour in a way so that we avoid unnecessary waitings and getting stuck in the crowd. Helen made the tour so easy with the two kids, wife, and myself by giving us a full history with fine details from start till the end. Her English was fluent as it can be... the kids and the wife enjoyed every bit of the trip which means Helen has fulfilled our day with full satisfaction. These two places are must see tourist places in Beijing and it is best to see it with the greatest, Helen. Helen, thank you for the awesome and memorable trip in Beijing. Cheers, Rathan
