8 hour trip Great Wall and Forbidden City - The service is great. The driver pickup us early in the morning to the Greatwall. The driver is helpful and the car is convenient. Unfortunately, we arrive during Chinese New Year. Very crowded in Forbidden City and not enough time to visit, so we spend the time to less crowded Beijing side.

Great tour! - Great tour! Very hassle free and easy to book. We would absolutely recommend this tour for every layover. Even though we booked so last minute Linda could still manage to organize everything for us. Wasn’t rushed or stressful at all. We were always given more time than needed and finished this tour 30 minutes early. The driver was great too. Absolutely brilliant!

Highly recommended Tour Service in Beijing! - We had a great time in our Tour in Beijing. Linda was very nice and a very excellent guide and driver. She pick me and my husband at the Airport and drop us also at the Hotel after the Tour, she is very Professional. We are very comfortable with her, since we dont have their chinese currency she offer me to buy food first and i just pay her with my money in Euro. Very accomodating and her english is very clear we understand her very well,about the History in China very knowlegeable. During our tour shes the one taking our pictures our photographer at the same time. Again thanks to Linda we wish to see you again with another Tour in China.

Great, stress free way to see both sights in one day! - The trip was very well organised. It was clear from the start what was included and what wasn’t. Communication was great, I always knew where to go and what to expect. Driver was friendly and professional. I had an amazing day and so glad I have booked. It is not easy to find the way around, especially to get to the great wall. Little bonus is that the driver was permitted to drive up to the cable car location which saves on the queue to get up with the shuttle bus. It is also quite difficult to get tickets to the forbidden city outside china but Linda was straight on it and made it happen. I would recommend!

Great tour, nice driver! - My stopover in Beijing lasted 12 1/2 hours, so I didn't have a lot of time. With this tour I was able to see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in one day, which was great. The driver was very friendly and accommodating, I got free water in the car. A little cash for the cable car on the Great Wall, souvenirs, food... I had previously exchanged at the airport. The ticket for the Forbidden City had to be purchased a week in advance using personal details, so my organizer contacted me. Luckily, I also had the perfect weather! An unforgettable day for me! But if you want to do this tour, you should really make sure you have a minimum stay of 12 or 13 hours.
