Keith was a really good...

Keith was a really good and pedagogical guide with clear instructions on meeting times, etc. The early start from the hotel made sure we had a really good experience at the Great Wall without too many people. Keith excellently adapted our walking through the Summer Palace when, either due to many people or due to rain, we could not go the regular way.
Easy, informative, and funny!

Keith was a great tour guide. He gave us some good background about the Great Wall and guided us through all the logistics of the visit before giving us free rein to climb and explore the Wall as we pleased. I also appreciated that he started the tour early in the day because we were able to beat all the crowds. His tour of the Summer Palace was very humorous and provided such interesting history. He offered various options of what highlights we could visit within the humongous palace area so that we could pick what to prioritize. The van experience was also incredibly comfortable and convenient.

Great Wall and summer palace, very good combination for one day tour, relaxing, not too much walking. Loved this tour, small gorup size, 5 people, very comfortable with a 7 seats van. Our tour guide is very nice as well, very helpful, and knowledgeable, provided lots of information about the attractions. We had lots of fun during the tour, highly recommended！
