          This is the way to see the essential Beijing sights.
          Keith was a good tour guide. He was kind of non-chalant and cool, and pretty well spoken all together. We discussed very boring economics in the vehicle en route to the sights. The destinations themselves are of course easy 5 stars and should never be missed when in China. Again, Keith was very easy to speak to and not so formal, making it just a bit like a tour with a friend. I tried many times to make him laugh, which was tough. He is a tough sell! But I got him at least once laughing. The car ride is a little bit long but that’s expected to see The Summer Palace and The Great Wall all in one single day. We left our printed photos from The Great Wall Photo Booth from the slide down and he carefully took photos of our photo (at my request as we had left town already) and was very helpful. Enjoy!

          it was a beautiful experience! On my birthday I realized my dream of being on the Great Wall of China, even if it was raining and foggy, it was still exciting! Thanks to my guide Tracey who also sang “Happy Birthday to me” in chinese! Too sweet and kind! ♥️♥️♥️

          Amazing tour, especially the Great Wall
          Linda and Sun were amazing guides!!!! This tour covers brilliant highlights of Beijing including the summer palace, the great wall and more. Linda is a highly knowledgeable tour guide who gave us a lot of fascinating information. She made everything so easy and seamless. We had great fun on this tour!! Linda speaks excellent English and could help us to communicate at each place - she also knows all the best spots for photos and views of the great wall, away from all the tourist crowds. Sun was a very good driver, very safe and comfortable car. Do not hesitate to book this tour!!!

          A Great Day, Even in Bad Weather
          The Great Wall is all it's hyped up to be, one of the world's great wonders and an awe inspiring structure to absorb and record. However, The day that we scheduled a Great Wall tour turned out to be one of the heaviest rains in the Beijing area in over a decade. It didn't seem likely that we would be on the wall. Our hotel pickup began at 7am and made 2 additional stops collecting a tour group of 9 people (two cancelled). When we arrived at the Summer Palace portion of the tour in the morning, we found that it was closed, likely due to flooding, and there was word that the Mutianyu Great Wall would close early in the afternoon. Our guide Suzie and our driver were determined to push through the downpour in the 2hr trip to give us what we all had traveled to see. Along the way she shared facts and history of the Great Wall. With the van parked at the base of the mountain, there were 3 ways to get up to the wall: hike about 40+ mins, chair lift, or cable car (2 mins). Because of the weather and threat of Mutianyu closure, Suzie decided it would be best for us all to grab our umbrellas and take the cable cars. Once out of the cable car, we climbed the wet steps leading to the top of the wall. At some point into our 1 hr time on the rainy wall, miraculously, the rain paused for a while and we were treated to literally some of the most spectacular views on earth. Afterwards, we had a Beijing-style lunch (included) at the base of the mountain and Suzie added a tea shop demonstration and tasting to fill the extra time. We ended the 8hr tour soaked from head-to-toe, but excited and more than satisfied with the experience.

          A day full of sightseeing and cultural experience. Not a minute wasted.
          It was well organized. My hotel was far from the pick up areas, so the tour company provided a taxi for me (I had to pay extra for it, but it wasn’t much). The guide kept telling us about history and modern-day China throughout the whole tour. The lunch was delicious and the tea tasting was a nice pause between two major sights: the Great Wall and Summer Palace. I’m really glad I booked this tour before I flew to Beijing.

          Great wall & Bejing tour
          Keith was our guide today. There were four of us on this tour today. He was very punctual and the coordination for the pick up was smooth and problem free. Keith is a nice & friendly person and gave us good commentaries along the way. His car was super comfortable by the way. The sights were great. The summer heat plus the hordes of people everywhere were my only two negatives. Try coming in Spring or Autumn would be my recommendation. All in, worth the trip.

          Really enjoyable day. Very well organised from start to finish. Special memories of these amazing sites. Worked well with Kids 12 & 10. Keith was very kind and made sure we were well looked after. Ability to drive into the inner part of the Great Wall compound was a massive plus.

        The guide is not only highly professional but also punctual, ensuring that schedules are strictly followed without delays. His ability to manage time effectively allows the group to stay on track, maximizing the experience without feeling rushed or delayed. This level of punctuality demonstrates reliability and respect for everyone’s time, which enhances the overall quality of the service he provides.

        I had two days in Beijing with my brother after some other obligations in China, and I booked this tour as a way to try and see the most famous landmarks without the headache of sorting out reservations and transports.
        The tour did exactly that. Pickup at the hotel, transport to the sights, lunch in some pretty nice restaurants all included. Both guides we had were good english speakers, and nice to boot; and we both thoroughly enjoyed the sights and our time, despite the crowds;
        For downsides, mostly the inevitable ones tied to the timeframe - two days isn't enough to see everything, or even to give potential day-long attractions like the Forbidden City the time they deserve; not much the tour can do about that.

        We only stayed two days in Beijing, so we took the tour to visit the highlights!
        We really enjoyed it, in only 2 days we could visit the main attractions, with an English guide, transport and lunch. In both days the lunch was incredible.
        The guides, Bruce and Keith, were very nice.
        For the great wall, we took a cable car to arrive on top, from there we had time to walk all the way up and take pictures.

        We had booked the 2-day mini group tour. There were 6 of us which was a good size as we could get to know the others in the group. Our tour guide, Keith, was friendly, accommodating to our needs and knowledgeable. The trip was value for money as tickets and lunch were included. The MPV was new, clean and comfortable. You will have no regrets joining this tour.

        We were hoping to spend more time at the forbidden city to see the Gallery of Clocks but didn't spend enough time there. The guide was OK, but could have spent more time describing things, and giving historical context. The bus was ok,but a bit uncomfortable.

        Thanks for the review. Sorry that you didn't feel had enough time in the Forbidden City, but as in the tour description, you have 2 hours in the Forbidden City. If you want to see all the things there, you need to spend a full day there. If you really need to see something, please let the tour guide know at the beginning, so that he can arrange the time. Also, if you want to know more historical context, please ask the tour guide, I am sure he will give you more context:) The minivan is in a very good condition, sorry it is not a luxurious van. For a two days all included tour, this price is alrady very low, the cost in China is very high now:)

        We booked this event by Agoda and met our tour guide (Mr Zhao Lei). He was friendly and very considerate towards our elderly parents. He was willing to slow down his pace and waited for us. During the whole tour, he explained thoroughly, and we had a real fruitful experience during the tour. He even gave us suggestions when purchasing the souvenirs. We highly recommended this tour guide.

        This tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide Keith was awesome! He was easy to reach leading up to the tour and was on time picking us up. We were a group of five so it was nice to have a private tour with only our group. We visited the Great Wall on the most perfect sunny day and Keith gave us all the time we needed to explore. He was knowledgable without over inundating us with information. We saw all the sights (Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Olympic Tower & Temple) at our pace and he was even kind enough to take us to a Starbuck's for a coffee run. He is great at catering to the group's needs. And takes really good pictures! I especially enjoyed the Great Wall and Summer Palace. The Chinese Acrobat Show was also a huge treat. He also made a great Peking Duck dinner suggestion for us, which we all enjoyed. It truly was a carefree tour.
