We had a great day with Edward and Mr Zhang. Edward shared the history and stories behind The Great Wall, and a lot of information about Beijing and China. We had a comfortable ride to conserve our energy to climb the stairs and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. I highly recommend this tour.

Prompt pick up at our hotel with a very nice minivan and excellent driver. Our guide was very sweet and answered all our questions, but sometimes the answers were a little difficult to follow. The Dim Sum breakfast was very tasty, and the Lamastery was interesting, and our guide tried to explain to us what each individual area meant, and showed us how to light the incense and say a prayer to the Buddhas. We definitely recommend the tour, but comparing it to the tour we had later that day which was a foodie tour through the Houtongs we can only give this one a 4 star rating. It was "very good" but not excellent.

This was a great opportunity to experience local food outlets and learn about the history of the hutongs. Our guide Anson was excellent. Highly recommended!

The tour guide was knowledgeable and we went through the tour at a very comfortable pace. The tour guide was very detailed in guiding us where to meet and how to get to the venue.

We had an amazing time on this tour! Everything ran smoothly and our tour guide was very knowledgeable on Chinese history. She answered all of our questions and took a lot of pictures for us. Our tour guide’s name is Alice, and we would definitely recommend her to everyone. We had a dim sum lunch and Alice knew exactly what to order for us! We chose the option with a private car, and it’s definitely worth it. Our driver Li YangBing was very personable and chatted with us in Chinese during our drive. He was very professional and told us he often drives foreigners around Beijing.

If ever there was a venue whose menu perfectly fits its ambience this is it! Sixteen of us sat down to celebrate joint 40th birthdays and the whole experience couldn't have been bettered. There's not a vast choice but from the small plates ( butterfly prawns, sausage bites, mac and cheese, etc.) through to mains (burgers, tacos, salt beef sarnies, pizzas ) it was perfection. We'd pre ordered ,being a large party, and having arrived as planned at 1230hrs and ordered drinks our food was served on the dot of 1245hrs, as agreed. We were a diverse group from 2 to septuagenarian and everyone thought it was great. We'll be back again and from the compliments flying about so will all our guests

We had a wonderful time on this trip and it’s so worth the one-on-one tour guide! We toured with Edward and our driver Mr. Gao, and they gave us interesting info and tidbits about Chinas history. Be prepared for a lot of steps (which is to be expected!) We also stopped at a tea house for a quick lesson and a jade shop to learn China’s history with jade.

We had a great experience with Jack, it was well planned and Jack shared a lot of fascinating historical anecdotes and points of interest during the tour. The Ding tomb is the only tomb where you can enter the underground crypt and this was such an eye opener compared to my previous visit to another of the Ming tombs where it was only the aboveground portion. We were very well looked after from the point of pickup until the end of the tour, with drinking water and snacks provided in the car. The pace of the tour was just right and not tiring at all. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone keen on visiting the Ming tombs and Summer palace.

Today we took a shopping tour with Sherrilyn, we loved her disposition, she was entertaining and she took us to very good information to buy.. totally recommended

Anson was amazing! When he picked us up he asked if we had eaten breakfast (we hadn’t), so he took us to an incredible local place where our breakfast came to under £2 for both of us and was incredibly tasty! After that we went to the Mutianyu and beat the crowds, he showed us all the best photo spots and took tons of us two together. Because the wall was quiet we finished it at around 11.15 and weren’t hungry, he recommended a tea house nearby which was a bonus experience! Lunch was amazing and the restaurant was also an experience within itself before then heading to the Huanguacheng tower. What a day!

Very very good tour. We went with Miko and he is a rockstar. Very knowledgeable, does a great job with photography and he does a nice job both getting you to the forbidden city and Tian’anmen square in addition to talking through all the historical facts about the areas. He is also very knowledgeable about NBA and he speaks incredible English. Very happy with Miko!!!

Lucy was a terrific guide. She explained everything very well. Very knowledgeable about the places we went to see. There are a lot of government check points along the way and especially in Beijing at the sites. , Because we had a private guide, getting through these check points was a breeze. She even helped push my wife in a walker and assisted her to climb stairs. If there was a way to rate Lucy a 5 +, I would certainly do so. Our driver and Lucy communicated very well to make sure he was at the right place for drop off and pick up. Thanks Lucy for making our two day Shore Excursion in Beijing a very memorable experience. Martha and Joe

Sherry is very proactive. Sending use detailed info a week in advance. She is also very responsive when we seek her advice on public transport as some of the roads were block that day.

Excellent guide. Great stories and insight. Well worth it. Sophie wenrmt at our pace and kept us well informed. Recommend.

I had a fantastic experience on Saturday with Lucy and on Sunday with Edward. Lucy picked me up from my hotel at 6 pm and we saw a number of different places, including Tiananmen Square, The Place, and Hutong Street (loved Hutong Street). On Sunday, Edward picked me up at 9 am and we went to Temple of Heaven, Ming Dynasty Tombs and a jade factory! Edward shared the history and relevant background info throughout the entire tour , which was made for a great learning experience. I will definitely be booking another tour in the future. This is so fun to do when traveling solo.
