The guide tour Iris was incredibly helpful and kind! She took care of everything with a smile and showed us around while explaining historical and cultural facts. She also took pictures of us in all the places. I highly recommend it for non-mandarin speakers and first time visitors of China:)

Highly recommend the tour! We went to Jinshanling section of the Great Wall. The view is amazing and there was hardly another soul insight. You can really soak up the history of this magnificent place. Even the 7 yo had a great time walking along the wall. We had Adam as our guide. He is very knowledgeable, considerate, accommodating and pleasant. His English is very good. We chatted about China and people’s life and it was very interesting to me. We had an amazing time. It’s the a highlight of our Beijing trip.

I showed up an hour early at our meeting place and my guide Joyce came shortly after. I had forgotten this was a private tour and was happy to learn Joyce would design our tour to what I wanted to experience. Her English was excellent and her history of the common person informative. This is a walking tour and Joyce will guide you to what you're interested in.

Our guide, Sonia, led us on an amazing two days through Beijing. As a local with great English, her insights into life into Beijing life was very insightful. We spent the first morning along at the Simatai section of the Great Wall - highly recommended for the views and smaller crowds. Sonia then showed us around the other key sights of Beijing, including a recommendation for a great yum cha lunch. Sonia's insights on the life in China and Beijing and growth of this dynamic country made our couple of days wonderful.
