100% recommended - We made an amazing excursion to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in Mutianyu, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Everything was perfectly organized and the fact of going by private car made the day very comfortable and pleasant.
But best of all was our guide, Elisa. She speaks Spanish perfectly and was absolutely fantastic throughout the tour. He was super friendly, very attentive at all times and explained each place in great detail and clarity. You can see that he is passionate about his work and knows the history and culture of China very well. Thanks to her we understood much better everything we were seeing and the visit was much more interesting.
In addition, the driver was also very friendly and professional, which made the whole day go by without a doubt.
We definitely recommend this excursion 100%, especially if you are lucky enough to do it with Elisa as your guide. It made the experience 10.

100% recommended - We made an excursion to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall in Mutianyu, and honestly it was an absolutely perfect experience.
What really made the difference was our guide Elisa, who speaks Spanish perfectly. From the first moment he was incredibly friendly, close and very attentive to us. You can see that he is passionate about his work: he explained all the history, cultural details and curiosities of each place in a very clear and very interesting way. Thanks to it it was not only a sightseeing visit, but an experience in which we really understood what we were seeing. Each explanation was 10, and also he was always watching that we were comfortable, to answer all our questions and that we enjoyed every moment.
I also want to highlight that we did the whole tour by private car, which made the day much more comfortable and relaxed. Our driver was also very friendly and professional, always punctual and driving very safely.
The organization of the day was impeccable: we were able to visit Tiananmen Square, tour the impressive Forbidden City and finish at the Great Wall in Mutianyu, one of the most beautiful and best preserved stretches. Everything was perfectly planned to take advantage of the unhurried time.
But, no doubt, what made this excursion so special was Elisa. Your treatment, your professionalism and your way of explaining make the experience so much better. If you are lucky enough to make this excursion with her, you can be sure that you will have an unforgettable day.
Fully recommended.

A wonderful, informative, private tours of the Forbidden City and to the Great Wall of China. - Another fantastic tour today when Erica and our driver Mr Su picked us up from our Beijing Hotel to take us to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China. Along the way Erica pointed out areas of interest on our drive, including lots of Chinese facts and history. Lots of traffic on the road, but Mr Su drove us very safely to our destinations. Erica’s English was very very good, and she took care of all our needs, and helped us every step (literally!) of the way. The car was a new, beautifully clean Buick, and so very comfortable; including water to keep us hydrated. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

⭐️ An unforgettable day in Beijing! - This private tour was perfect from start to finish. Our guide was exceptional: very professional, passionate and full of fascinating anecdotes about the history and culture of Beijing.
The day began in Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, two impressive places full of history. Thanks to his clear and lively explanations, we were able to truly understand the richness of Chinese heritage while enjoying a very pleasant pace.
The afternoon at the Great Wall of Mutianyu was the highlight: breathtaking scenery, free time to explore, and impeccable organization. The transport was comfortable, the local lunch delicious, and everything went stress-free.
I highly recommend this visit to all those who want to discover the must-sees of Beijing in one day, with a caring, cultivated and passionate guide.
👉 A memorable experience, not to be missed!

First time in Beijing ... - We went on a fantastic trip arranged in the last minute with our trip guide Xixi. We are a family of four with two little ones and had a great time wandering the courtyards of Forbidden City and climbing the ancient walls of Mutianyu section. Xixi helped us navigate the lines, tickets and the right places for photo ops, all the while explaining the history of the place and interesting titbits across the board. The lunch place was delicious with Xixi ensuring our dietary restrictions were taken care of. She gave us the space when we needed it while also keeping us on track at both places. The driver was gentle and helped us get across the spots very easily. The car was very comfortable for the long rides on a hot day. Overall, we had a great time in spite of the heat, thanks to Xixi and her team
