Perfect Day Tour ! - I had an excellent experience with this private tour to the Great Wall and Summer Palace. From the start, the company was incredibly thoughtful. I mentioned I was travelling with my parents, and they surprised us with a complimentary vehicle upgrade, which made the day even more comfortable. Our guide, Bobo, was fantastic. Shewas knowledgeable, engaging, and fully bilingual, which made a huge difference. My parents speak and understand Chinese, while I don’t, and Bobo handled everything seamlessly so all of us felt included and well-informed throughout the day. The entire trip was smooth, well-organised, and stress-free. From transport to timing, everything was handled perfectly, allowing us to just enjoy the experience. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a reliable and high-quality private tour.

Great day trip to Chinese Wall and Summer Palace - ​If you are planning a visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace, do yourself a huge favor and request Maggie as your guide. ​We had an absolutely incredible day from start to finish. Maggie’s knowledge of Chinese history is profound, but she shares it in a way that is engaging and easy to follow. Taking the slide down was huge fun!
