5.00Jessica was very awesome, caring and considerate, she really thought of my aunt with all the logistics as she has limited mobility, we experienced Beijing like we were VIPs.

5.00Jessica made our experience in Beijing absolutely outstanding. Her knowledge of the history and culture brought each site to life in a way we never could have appreciated on our own. She handled every detail seamlessly, making what could have been an overwhelming day feel easy and enjoyable. Quite honestly, we would not have been able to navigate this experience without her guidance. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate—having Jessica as your guide makes all the difference. Highly recommend.

5.00Bruce was an exceptional guide and truly elevated our experience in Beijing. His knowledge of both the Great Wall and the Imperial Palace was deep, detailed, and delivered in a way that made the history come alive. He struck the perfect balance between storytelling and facts, giving us context without ever feeling overwhelming. If you’re looking for a guide with excellent English speaking skills who can turn a sightseeing trip into a memorable and enriching experience, I would highly recommend Bruce.
Fantastic day!

5.00We had this tour with Jane - who really helped make the day spectacular. She was so knowledgeable any was able to share fantastic history and culture with us to really enhance our experience. Jane was really friendly and communicative and allowed us to do what we wanted to our own schedule - really accommodating our specific wishes for the trip. We considered doing this ourselves but are so glad we booked a tour as we were able to get so much more from the day with having Jane than if we were to do this alone. Highly recommend - 10/10.

5.00We arrived at the airport and Mr. Guo was already waiting, extremely friendly and who conducted the tour very well, safely and responsibly. He explained everything at every point where we went and gave us the tips to better enjoy the walk. At the end of each place visited Mr. Guo was already punctually waiting for us at the matched place, which left us very calm. He had water and bananas offered to us. To know the wall, the Forbidden City, the square of heavenly peace and even make some comins in 1 day was an unforgettable experience.
Great opportunity to meet Beijing

5.00Taking advantage of a long connection to Beijing, this tour was an opportunity to get to know some of the main tourist sights of the region. It was possible to see the Great Wall, as well as the Forbidden City and the Square of Heavenly Peace (Tian'anmen). Mr. Guo was already waiting for us as soon as we left the airport; he was always very friendly and helpful, explaining about each visit. We felt very safe throughout the trip.
Excellent
