An excellent day on The Great Wall

Jack was our driver and companion for the day. He wrote to us the day before our trip to the Great Wall to confirm pick up time and met us on time. He used the translator to explain every step of the way, we were never uncertain. He made options clear to us. We would certainly recommend Jack as friendly, helpful and above all a safe driver! Thank you, Jack

Great fun at the Great Wall

Great driver and tour guide (Mr.Jen). He has very pleasant and shared many historical and cultural facts about the items our days itinerary. The day started early as a suggestion from our driver/guide and it was a good call. We took the cable car up and the toboggan ride down. By the time we were done (3hrs) the area started to get very busy, so getting picked up at 6AM gave us a head start on city traffic and later-day crowds of tourists.tThe included Tea tasting and Jade craftsmanship tour was a real gem. No big pressure to up-sell or purchase items during either one , but their business model depends on them trying so don’t be surprised. Buffet lunch offered plenty of local dishes and western choices. Driver had lots of cold water ready and often remind us to take more bottles before leaving car. Bring good shoes and leave a good review.

Pleasant day at the Great Wall

We had a great experience spending an entire day at two Great Wall sites near Beijing. The driver SUN was very punctual. He drove carefully and you could tell he was an experienced driver, especially for driving in the traffic Of Beijing. He was also very kind and cooperative. He made himself available to help us with the tickets and the various lines to wait in. He also gave us various explanations and information about the local customs and culture. Definitely recommended for a future visit!

Amazing private tour of the Great Wall and Summer Palace

This was a great tour. Our tour guide Sherry was amazing. Her English was perfect and she had great knowledge of the history of each place we went. She showed up at our hotel on time and the driver was great. We took a nice van for my family of 5. I would highly recommend this company and especially Sherry. It was great value for the money.

A wonderful day with dong xuefei

We had a wonderful day with dong xuefei, he was on time in the morning and had excellent communication skills. He was informative about all of our different stops and helpful when we needed support with accessing attractions. We went to a great buffet stop for lunch and were very well looked after all day.

Fantastic experience

Great tour and very careful and attentive guide Zhao Jinfu! Every time we needed something he was ready to help! It was quite easy to understand each other in English (and using the translator app when needed), which can be a bit tricky in China in other cases. The Huanghuacheng part of The Great Wall was just fascinating and we literally met no one on the very wall! Fantastic!

Above and beyond expectations

Zhao was a wonderful guide/driver. He was very poctual, helpfully and proactive, above and beyond expectations. Zhao walked around the walls with me, took more than 100 pictures for me (each almost at professional level) and even went shopping with me afterwards.
