Amazing natural scenery - This was a truly spectacular day. The gorge and boat ride provided the most amazing scenery and the trip to the Great Wall was the perfect ending. History, nature and the beauty that is China. Totally worth it.

Fantastic Tour, Fantastic Guide! - Highly Recommended. One of the BEST tours I’ve taken. Allen is a fantastic guide! Super experienced, speaks great English and very knowledgeable about Chinese history. My family and I learnt a lot from him on this tour. The itinerary is exciting and everything was planned to perfection. Our guide, Allen, made the whole trip super smooth and entertaining! Really enjoyed the scenic boat ride at Longqing Gorge, lunch at a local eatery, and our time at the Great Wall. Allen even gave us suggestions on what’s good to eat around our hotel. Also thank you to our driver, Mr Tian who drove expertly and got us to our destinations quickly and safely!

Best tour guide ever - The tour was amazing, the tour guide Cathy Zhang was super knowledgeable and efficient. The driver was amazing, great driving skills. Cathy made the trip a breeze and even took me to an amazing local restaurant. She provided me with several options for each place so I could customize it to my liking.

Amazing day thanks to our fantastic guide Lucy Yue and our great driver Liu Chao - We had an amazing day with our fantastic guide, Lucy Yue, and our great driver, Liu Chao. Lucy contacted me yesterday to confirm our pick up arrangement. Today she and Mr. Liu picked us up at our hotel as planned. We drove to Longqing gorge first to avoid the morning crowd at the Badaling Great Wall. It worked out well as there were very few people at the gorge. We walked through the dragon and had a magical boat ride through the tall mountains. Beautiful scenery! The cable car was closed so we didn’t get to ride it. Next we had a nice lunch at a place of our choosing. Last, we went to the Badaling Great Wall. On our way there, Lucy gave us the history. When we got there, she expertly guided us through the process to get to the wall and took lots of pictures of us on the wall. The crowd was leaving as we were coming so the order we followed was perfect. I didn’t know the main attractions in Beijing are closed on Mondays so the wall is more crowded than normal. If you get Lucy Yue and Liu Chao you will have a great day. Lucy is a lot of fun and very accommodating. Mr. Liu was a great driver in a nice car.

Great day out - We had a great day out. The entrance to the gorge was fascinating with a cascade of water from the dam and a huge dragon disguising the elevator that took us to the top. Saw some great scenery on the boat trip. The Great Wall was, indeed, great. Fantastic scenery and a unique destination. We felt very privileged to be there. Lucy was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who spoke excellent English. The car she had arranged was very comfortable and that added to the feeling of being well looked after. Lunch was very good in a local Chinese cafe/restaurant.

Longqing Gorges and Great Wall - Our Anson Guide was efficient and nice. During the road trip he explained in detail the history of Beijing and the Great Wall. Our visit began with the boat ride inside the Longqing Gorges where we admired a breathtaking and unprecedented panorama for us. We then stopped at a local (and not touristy) restaurant where thanks to Anson’s suggestions we tasted some of the typical dishes (including Peking duck). Finally we visited the Great Wall, and thanks again to Anson, we reached a less touristy and uncrowded place from which we enjoyed a breathtaking view of the wall. We absolutely recommend the experience!

Incredible Tour - The weather was fantastic! We enjoyed the scenery on the boat ride and the views of the Great Wall were incredible. Edward was a good host and spoke good English. He took plenty of photos for us and we enjoyed the lunch and dumplings that he ordered. We recommend this tour.
