- lidian5050 contributionsFabulous trip to Great Wall!Linda was our driver and guide to the Great Wall in Beijing. We were a family of 5 and her car was very comfortable. Her English was very good and she was great. She also arranged a car to take us to the airport and all went very smoothly. We highly recommend her services.Written 1 December 2024
- Stay7925410 contributionsFantastic experience -highly recommendEverything about the trip with Linda was 100%. Linda herself is very nice and knowledgeable. The car was comfortable. We had limited time but Linda made the day so nice for us. We would higly recommend booking both tours and airport pickup with Linda.Written 28 November 2024
- stuarto7000 contributionsOur first visit to Beijing.Linda Xie was our guide for 2 days to the major Beijing tourist sites including The Great Wall, Avenue of the Animals, Tiananmen Sq, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. She also took us to a beautiful traditional and quiet restaurant that was just outside the Summer Palace. Excellent food and ambiance/a delightful change of pace. Linda’s guidance was essential/there is no way as tourists from the US we could have managed without her. Her English is excellent, she is very knowledgeable, and pleasant to be with. She also met us at the airport and got us back/ helped us check in for our return flt. This was very important as it would have been very difficult to figure this out without her guidance. Please note that when we posted this review a few days ago, somehow the star rating erroneously listed our experience as being 4 stars. That was a technical error when uploading the review. Linda ranks as a 5 star guide!!Written 26 November 2024

- petedY3786IH0 contributionsFantastic Trip !Its difficult to honestly express how helpful Linda was for us on our recent trip, she provided advise for months before, booked us train tickets ( which can be a nightmare ) so all we had to do was scan passports and find our seats, she arranged a Tour Guide and driver for our day in Xi'an which was perfect - having someone give you a one-two-one tour of the Terracotta warriors with local insight was special and magical. Beijing being 5000 odd miles away ( from the UK that is ) and off the common tourist route makes local knowledge and understanding everything, maybe we could have booked taxi,s and arranged our own thing but having someone English speaking and knowing the landscape really removed any stress Totally aware this is trip adviser and very happy to leave Linda a glowing review but i would advise you contact her directly rather than here as a booking, her advise in invaluable. Very happy to Give Linda 10/10 - Very Well Done !Written 11 October 2024
- X5940BEangelas0 contributionsGreat tour, would book againGreat tour to the Summer Palace, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven. Alvin, our driver, was very reliable and arrived at the hotel in time.Written 6 October 2024
- Fearless624064925500 contributionsGreat day trip with Hotel pick-up.Davis was an excellent tour guide and ensured we made it to the Great Wall early to beat the crowds. He explained to us which route to take when walking the wall. Very patient driver who spoke great English. He was on time and also very accommodating. Thank you for changing our dates last minute due to a delayed flight. P.S. You can skip the Ming Tombs. It was a little waste of time to see nothing as many of the artifacts and tombs have been “recreated”.Written 4 October 2024
- geraldob6830 contributionsVery nice day out at Mutianyu Great WallThe walkway allows amazing views. Linda was very efficient and kind. Communication in English went extremely well. Highly recommended.Written 4 October 2024
- nzvik0 contributionsExcellent trip with LindaExcellent trip with Linda who picked us up in her large vehicle and took us to the Great Wall. Everything was very well organised and Linda was very helpful and gave us some great tips on seeing other sights.

- sfweel0 contributionsBook this tour to explore Great Wall!Booked this tour with Linda as wanted freedom to explore Great Wall early. Driver was Nicholas who spoke English and very friendly and helpful. Pick up at 630am and arrived at Mutiyani Great Wall and walked all the way to tower 20 with hardly any crowds, only on our return back. Went chair lift up and tabboggan down and was so much fun. Driver Nicholas took us to Summer Palace and help organise tickets for both summer palace and Great Wall and made sure we got into both with ease. Thank you Nicholas and highly recommend!Written 21 September 2024

Touring with Linda was fantastic. Driver arrived right to our hotel and transportation was comfortable. The van was cool and had water, which was a great break from the heat. Linda as a guide was knowledgeable and friendly. She engaged with both our kids and us parents on the history of the area and the Great Wall. If you are considering a tour, which made getting to the Wall, the Tombs, and back a breeze - go with Linda as your guide

It was a long day visiting the Great Wall and Ming tombs. Our driver Davis was friendly and helpful. He told us which parts of the wall was steeper. Definitely helped us in deciding which direction to go. He brought us to an excellent restaurant for lunch after our visit to the Great Wall.
The Ming tombs in my opinion was very disappointing. Nothing like what I saw 30 years ago.
All in all, we. We were very happy that we booked this private trip.
