Absolutely staggering views & good food & good people - This tour was absolutely amazing! Everything—from the food, booking, and organization to the day’s events—was excellent. Cathy was in constant communication with us, making sure we knew what was happening and where the driver and guide were. It was so fun touring the city and learning about Datong’s history. The restaurant we visited was delicious, and I enjoyed both the food and beer; they also adhered to dietary restrictions, which was very helpful. Huge thank you to the team—you made our visit so special, and I really enjoyed it. it.

UNESCO World Heritage Buddha carvings and Hanging Monastery fun tour - We were amazed by the intricate Buddha stone carvings inside the caves, as well as by the monasteries hanging on the side of the cliffs. Our guide, George, and our driver made everything easy for us.

UNESCO Buddha carvings and Hanging Monastery - The one-day trip from Beijing to Datong was definitely worth. Cathy did a great job communicating, organizing, and making sure everything went smoothly. Our local guide, George, was very efficient and we managed to see all the highlights in a pretty short time with a yummy lunch break. The Beijing and Datong drivers did a good job as well, and riding the bullet train was extremely fast and comfortable.

Highly recommend this tour! - Cathy as very efficient and helpful with making booking and plans. She communicated with us via WhatsApp which we could use via our internet access once we arrived in China. Worked amazingly well. Our tour started off with driver early for hotel pickup - so it felt nice to be dropped off at station early. Bullet train good experience at 249 km/hr. Very smooth. Our tour guide, George was there ready with sign to meet and greet us at DaTangNan station. George was very knowledgeable, spoke in fluent English outlined the day ahead as we set off for the caves. Our driver was also very amicable and helpful. The Caves were very spectacular - exceeded expectations. Their amazing background and history was explained by George. We all enjoyed a traditional Chinese lunch in local restaurant which had an extensive menu. Food very enjoyable. George helped with our special food needs. Both George and Driver hosted us at lunch very well. Afternoon trip to Hanging Temple - The Hanging Temple was absolutely fascinating. George provided great commentary about the temple and enjoyable conversation throughout the day. My and husband agree it’s a “must do” if planning a trip to China.

Friendly proffessional driver and guide for transfer and sightseing - Cathy was very friendly.She gave me exat instructions how to take the train and she did a really proffessional organisaton. Tracy in Datong with the driver were also really friendly and proffessional. Like everywhere in China I was rushed through the monuments in order to have the chance to have a lunch.Although I am a person that prefers sightseeing,the lunch was tasty and different than that of other parts of the country. We didn't have time to visit the underground palace and at the beginning they didn't want to bring me to the hanging monastery either and they were bored to wait for me to see the caves at my pace but after some motivation everything worked.At the end the driver drove me to Beijing airport. This tour was the best one in China,just someone shouldn't expect european quality.

Two heritage sites in one day - First time to Datong and the Yugang cave and the Hanging Monastery,two world heritage were fantastically explained to me by a very friendly and professional driver and guide.I suggest it to anyone that comes to Beijing. The traditional food (steamed baozi and shaomai) served at the restaurant was delicious.
