Our tour guide Jenny was absolutely amazing she was early at our hotel for pickup. She was extremely knowledgeable about Tianaman square, The forbidden city, as well as the Great Wall. It felt like we got over to learn about 2000 years worth of Chinas deep history amazing culture and beautiful architecture during our day tour. She was very pleasant and kind and was awesome when it came to taking pictures she knew what places had the best photo ops with the least amount of people I would 10/10 recommend this service to anyone interested in the Great Wall and China
Jenny was an amazing guide, everything prepared and organized, fantastic knowledge of all details of the program. The sites were unique, my favorite is the wall but the forbidden city is also great. Fantastic day
The day was fantastic, Jenny our guide tour speaks perfect English, explained very well the forbidden city, Great Wall and all the culture of China. The lunch was delicious and the quality of transport.
The driver who took me to the Great Wall was absolutely wonderful. He was extremely kind, helpful, and available throughout the whole trip. He made everything much easier for us and was always patient and professional. I really appreciated his attitude and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you so much for the great service!
Very fun and educational tour. The Guide was super kind and informative we had a great time.
Our guide, Song, was exceptional. He took us to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, and throughout the entire tour he was very attentive, friendly, and professional. He explained everything in great detail and made sure we understood the history and all the important information. He was always happy to answer our questions. We also want to thank our driver, who was very kind and attentive throughout the trip. We highly recommend Song, especially because he speaks Spanish, which made our experience much more enjoyable and comfortable.
Great tours and driving. My kids and I loved this experience. Private tour recommended. Ask for May as your guide. A+
Our tour guide, Jenna, was so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable with valuable tips, and suited all our ages groups! She made our tour memorable and even went out of her way to take fabulous photos of our family - incredibly thankful for this experience xx
Completely SPECTACULAR! Song has been one of the best, or possibly the best guide we have had, and believe me, we have had many. Super patient (we traveled with an elderly adult of 85 years with reduced mobility and a 10-year-old girl), and throughout the full day of the excursion, we all had a great time, despite how stressful it could have been, but thanks to Song, it was not. We traveled as a family, 6 people, and we all had a GREAT time. Highly recommended!
I was only in China for a day and a half and this was perfect private tour- just what I wanted. Did it through Viator and “Catherine Wu” tours. I got picked up right at my hotel by the driver Mr. Lee who was very nice. My personal tour guide was James and he spoke great English. He took care of everything for me and planned it out perfectly. We got to do all the major things and even had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Finally being at the Great Wall after never thinking I would get there was amazing. He took photos of me too. I promised him at the end I would come back 1 day with my fiancée and future kids. Lol
