5.00What a day! The tour itself is well-paced allowing for time to explore independently if you prefer. But even though we saw one of the Wonders of the World, it wasn’t the highlight of our trip… that honour goes to our guide Sherry. She was funny, knowledgeable and incredibly kind. We feel so lucky to have met Sherry- the day wouldn’t have been as special without her. Our driver, Yu, was also very safe and efficient at navigating between destinations. We cannot recommend them or this tour highly enough.

5.00We did a day tour with Susan and had a great time. She was able to provide us with countless facts and history and could answer all our questions. Her English was outstanding and she was great to spend time with. We recommend booking a tour with her. We will happily come back to her for more experiences next time we are in Beijing.

5.00What an amazing day! Sherry was an amazing tour guide and explained everything very clearly for us. She was very patient with us whilst climbing the Great Wall. We had Sun as our driver and he brought us lots of bottles of ice water and kept us topped up with water all day. Brilliant driver with amazing service. Sherry is so amazing and anybody is lucky to have her as your tour guide. She was so helpful even after the tour to help us with the courier service in Beijing. Thank you Sherry, we hope to meet you again soon!
