Great service. Communication upfront. Organisation and trip. We organised a driver and English speaking guide to take us to the Great Wall and the Forbidden city. Jack our driver did a great job, very safe driving. Jacks people carrier was very modern a d comfortable. He also magically appeared when we needed picking up, so no waiting around and he walked us back to the terminal at drop off back at the airport. Li-Li our English speaking guide was amazing. Exceptional English and knowledge of the sites we saw and of historical accounts. Also she was very attentive and caring to make sure we had a great trip. I strongly recommend them for an excursion from Bejing airport or any tourism in Bejing. We left the airport in between flights on a stop over in Bejing. If you have a EU passport you no longer need a visa to enter China. We had an amazing adventure all within 12 hours door to door. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Had a splendid day visiting city-center of Beijing. I can definitely recommend Lucy as a guide: very knowledgeable about the ancient history of the city, very open, flexible to respond to a specific request from our side (although not initially foreseen in the standard tour). Top !

Had a great tour visiting Forbidden City and the Great Wall! Our guide, Yuan, was very informative and knowledgeable about the history and was able to answer all questions we had. It was so nice to have a private car to travel in and the personal interaction with Yuan. Would highly recommend this tour and Yuan as your guide!

Booked this tour last minute, right before I hopped on the flight that had an 11 hour layover in Beijing. Kelly was the tour guide assigned to me and she was waiting at the arrivals gate with a driver. They had water and snacks ready for me and we headed straight on to the Great Wall of China - Mutinayu entrance. The drive was great and Kelly provided very interesting facts and details about the city, landmarks during the drive and the Great Wall itself. Kelly spoke great English and made me feel very comfortable and safe during the drive. Kelly took me around the Great Wall and she purchased the tickets. We then stopped for a buffet lunch of dumplings and traditional Chinese food which was included in the tour. After this we went on to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Again here, the tour guide Kelly was very knowledgeable about the history and provided great facts and tips about both landmarks. The driver then dropped me off at the airport with ample of time for my next fight. I would definitely recommend this tour and request for Kelly.
