Perfect Day at the Wall in Mutianyu and Summer Palace - We are a family of 5 people and we had a simply excellent day of tourism, which exceeded all expectations. We visited the Mutianyu Wall and the Summer Palace on a very well-organized private tour, which made all the difference to enjoy each moment with peace and comfort. The driver Wangahui was impeccable: safe driving, punctuality and always very professional, making all travel pleasant and without any concerns. The Sherry guide deserves a special highlight — extremely attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable, explained everything about the places visited, including history, culture and various curiosities, which enriched the experience considerably. In addition, she had the kindness of taking many of our photos throughout the day, all of them were great and are a wonderful memory of this family trip. The lunch was also ideal to recharge the energies before continuing the tour. In short, it was a perfect day, with everything going perfectly well, thanks to an extremely professional and dedicated team. We recommend without any hesitation.

We had a great time with... - We had a great time with Alice Ji as our guide and Mr. Liu as our driver visiting the Great Wall and Summer Palace tour. Alice was great at explaining (in English) the prominence and history of both sites. Great photographer too. Very worthwhile!

A Day to Remember - It is a great place to see the Wall. Jack was a great guide, and explained the history and various construction periods very well to the unenlightened! In the afternoon, we had a most enjoyable walk around the Summer Palace.

Excellent tour covering key highlights - The tour was run excellently by Sherry and driver ZhangJinChao. Sherry made use of the VIP entrance to let us take the car as close as possible to the Mutianyu Great Wall and helped point out important landmarks. She also took care to take plenty of photos. The buffet lunch provided was at a high quality clean restaurant (even as a vegetarian). Finally the Summer Palace was a good end to the tour with excellent views and Sherry explained the history behind the Palace very well. Would highly recommend the tour. She is an excellent guide.

Great memories - There are times when the tour guides not only show you things on the planned excursion, but share the beauty of their country and introduce you to its soul. That was certainly the case when we had the chance of experiencing the Great Wall and the Summer Palace with Sherry! Dear Sherry, you are one of the reasons I hope to return to China. I truly appreciate everything you did for our group. Thank you so much! With warmest regards, Nataliya

Incredible Experience! - The experience was incredible, thanks to our guide Edward. His english and history knowledge was remarkable and we had the best time learning new history facts about wonderful places in China such as the Summer Palace, Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China. The pace of the tour was great, we didn’t feel rushed at all, and we felt like we had enough time in each place. The lunch stop had great buffet food and good variety! The great driver, Mr. Zhang, dropped us off safely and promptly during extremely busy traffic. We thank Edward for his professionalism and for helping us have an incredible experience!
