Summer Palace and Great Wall - What a wonderful day. Was met by my guide for the day, Nancy Great trip around the summer palace with some great photographs around every corner. Followed by a drive to the Great Wall, big tick on the “bucket list” what a stunning place. Nancy kept me up to date on all the history and local information and we had a great time. This was followed by lunch, before the drive back to central Beijing. Superb day out

Fantastic tour looked after brilliantly - We had a fantastic tour of the Sunmer Palace and The Great Wall despite it being very busy with holiday day. Our guide Nancy was brilliant and spoke fluent English. She took care of everything on the day. Mr Sun our driver was excellent and ensured we made great time despite the terrible traffic. Great day with our teenage boys.

Our tour with Lucy! - We had an amazing experience with Lucy, our tour guide. During our tour she told us in great details the history of the places visited, and also left us free to take pictures and ask questions. She also respected the time that each place deserved, not rushing at all, leaving us free to explore the places. In addition to a lot of good humor, Lucy managed to convey joy in what she does because she told us the historical facts with great enthusiasm. I could see that she took some care of us, leaving water and some candy inside the car, offering to take pictures and also taking us to a nice lunch. Thank you Lucy and team, for welcoming us so well, we had a really good day with you and our sweet driver. We know that you receive many different people everyday, but we hope you remember us tenderly, that couple with a little daughter from Brazil, in the same way we will for you. Greeting from Curitiba - Brazil!

Dreamlike tour outside Beijing - Interesting insights through guide Maggie into the ancient imperial culture - enjoyed the time in the beautiful Summer Palace with its wonderful gardens and the beautiful lake. An absolute must is the Great Wall. In the nicest weather, the cold didn't matter. Outlook a dream and Maggie conjured up centuries past with her remarks. No question went unanswered and we had lots of fun together Highly recommended.

Wonderful day around The Great Wall and Summer Palace - Wonderful Tour with Jeffrey and Xu We had a fantastic one-day private tour with Jeffrey as our guide and Xu as our driver. Jeffrey was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating insights about every stop on our itinerary. Xu ensured the ride was smooth and comfortable, and together, they made the day seamless and stress-free. Every detail was well-organized, and we felt truly cared for throughout the tour. Highly recommend this team for an enjoyable and enriching experience!
