What a great day, service and driver Mr Guo)

5.00A really great tour that I can fully recommend. We visited the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. Mr. Guo was our driver and he was super friendly, very reliable, and stayed with me the whole day. He explained everything clearly, told me exactly where to meet, and was always on time. I never had to wait at all. What I liked most was the flexibility. I could decide my own schedule and stay as long as I wanted at each place, without any stress or rushing. It made the whole day very relaxed. The car was comfortable and clean. There were drinks, fruit, and even a charging cable already plugged in so I could charge my phone anytime. You could really tell that everything was well thought out. Communication was very easy from the start. I got a WhatsApp message right after booking and all details were clarified in advance. When I came out with my luggage, Mr. Guo was already waiting for me. As a nice extra, after the main tour we stopped at a shopping mall so I could buy new electronic devices and power banks that had been taken from me when I arrived in China. That was a great service and not something you can take for granted. I usually have quite high expectations, but this tour exceeded them. An amazing day with a very kind person. Highly recommended.
Mister Guo the number one

5.00Private bus tour with Jack, very nice, tells you a little about the history of the wall. We have gone up in a chairlift and down in a slide, the last best.

5.00Hi. We had a fantastic day, our driver was amazing! Kind, great sense of humour. Loved the bananas and plenty of water. Sorted our tickets, Took us through and up to the top of the wall, took photos and then left us to explore. Clear on times and information. Helped with ordering lunch, guided us round Tianenmen square, took is into the Forbidden city past all the queues and showed us the map and where to meet. Always at meeting place before us, really felt looked after

5.00We had an amazing trip with our driver Mr Guo. He greeted us on time in our hotel lobby with fresh water and bananas. We drove straight to the wall and were one of the first ones up (pick up: 6:30am). He showed us around and drove us to the square, walked with us along to give us more information about the buildings and in general made our trip perfect! Thank you so much for the great day and we would definitely recommend a tour with our driver Mr Guo

5.00What a eye opening trip. My business partner and I enjoyed visiting the Great Wall as our driver services was more than impeccable.our driver Jack was well versed about how to navigate and get the best out the experience. Not only was Jack able to make the language barrier easy by giving us information about the Great Wall in English but he was a patient guide going beyond his call of duty. We thoroughly enjoyed stopping along the small towns where we received an authentic experience and interacting with local retail stores including many photo opportunities. I strongly recommend Jenny’s Guide and Driver service if you want to avoid the difficult public bus services. One of the easiest and most enjoyable experiences. Thanks Jack🍾👌🏽

5.00I can highly recommend this service for Great Wall tour. I booked with Jenny and I got driver in 30 minutes waiting for me in hotel lobby. Car is nice and new with a/c and driver takes you all the way to the cable, so you dont have to take shuttle bus and makes you cut all lines for waiting. Driver speaks english, so it is easy to comunicate and you can comfortly enjoy your trip to Great Wall without worry.
