My daughter and I took this amazing 2 days Beijing tour in June 2023, our tour guide Kevin is extremely knowledgeable, humorous, friendly and helpful in every way possible that made our journey so enjoyable, interesting and memorable, the tour vehicle is so clean, water was provided throughout whole day. Highly recommended if you want a comprehensive experience including the amazing Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square and the magnificent Great Wall of China!

The Great Wall was nice to see and experience. We climbed up and went down by toboggan which was really fun. After the Great Wall we have enjoyed our lunch at a restaurant with excellent food. The restaurant was chosen by ourselves. We resumed our tour to the Summer Palace, which is impressive as well. The good thing about the tour is that we haven’t felt any time pressure. Further our guide Linda has blown us away with her knowledge about history. And the cup of tea at the Summer Palace was nice. Long story short, we had a great day & the weather had also its contribution. And no mandatory shopping which is a great plus.

This was the second day of a two part tour which was managed and conducted by Candy. She proved to be a very personable guide who was enthusiastic in explaining the history and relevance of each location we visited in detail. The tour of the Temple of Heaven, the Hutong and the Summer Palace was well organised by Candy and allowed a lunch stop and a visit to see the Pandas at the zoo. This tour is to be recommended.
