          Fabulous 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.

          Our 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!!

          Great Wall - great experience
          From booking the trip to being dropped off back at the hotel the whole experience was efficient and well run. Our driver spoke very good English and chatted with us during our journey. The car was really comfortable. The whole experience was fantastic.

          Fantastic 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 !

          Great 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”.

          Excellent trip with Linda
          Excellent 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. Was our first trip to China and this was the highlight- the jade factory and silk factory visit were fantastic.

          Book 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!

        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.
