Your Best Option to Visit the Great Wall - Highly Recommend! - A fantastic experience visiting the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. We were picked up on time at our hotel in a nice, clean car. Our driver was very kind and a great driver. Lucy, our tour guide, was incredible. Her English is fluent, and she truly knows the history and details of Beijing. She was very kind and was always available to help. Everything ran smoothly and was perfectly managed. This is definitely the best way to see the Great Wall. I would do this tour again and recommend it to everyone. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Perfect tour! Excellent! - We had an absolutely incredible experience touring the Great Wall of China with Maggie! From start to finish, she made the entire day unforgettable. Her energy, positivity, and deep knowledge of the Wall’s history brought every moment to life. Maggie knew all the best viewpoints, helped us capture amazing photos, and made sure we enjoyed the perfect balance of learning, exploring, and relaxing. She was patient, friendly, and genuinely cared about making the tour special for each of us. It truly felt like we were exploring with a friend rather than a guide. If you’re considering a Great Wall tour, I cannot recommend Maggie enough—she turned a bucket-list destination into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Absolutely five stars!

Amazing time in Beijing 🫰🏼✨ - We had a lot of fun during our excursion with Ling lin. She was an amazing guide, and she was into every historical detail during our pass through the palace and the grand wall, and she also took amazing pictures for us. I would recommend this excursion to anyone who is planning to come to Beijing.

Perfect day with Maggie (Great Wall & Winter Palace) - We visited the winter palace and the Great Wall with our 2 children 8 and 10 years old with our guide Maggie and a driver. Great day for all of us, Maggie is a thoughtful guide who gives clear and precise explanations, and gave us time to visit at our own pace thinking about the children. Buffet breakfast very good, car with driver very clean and pleasant. We highly recommend.

Incredible Tour of the Great Wall and the Summer Palace! - We spent an amazing day with our guide, Jerry. We started at the Summer Palace where Jerry did a fabulous job of describing the history and sites of the palace. After, we went to the incredible Mutiyanu Great Wall. Jerry gave us a history of how the wall was built through the various dynasties and then let us explore the wall at our own pace. The Great Wall absolutely lived up the hype. I highly recommend Lily's Tours and Jerry as your guide. You won't regret it!

Wonderful and seamless experience - We had an amazing day with our guide Linda! She was professional, informative, and courteous, as was our private driver. The Summer Palace was peaceful, and the Great Wall was spectacular. Linda helped us to avoid the crowds at both locations and to learn their fascinating history. Booking this all-inclusive option was great value and made the whole experience seamless from the moment we were picked up in the morning to our drop-off in the evening. Thank you!!
