Interactive Driver! - Larry is a great driver and guide to have when visiting Beijing! He waited for us at the airport with a sign and we had a quick exit out of the airport. Larry gave great recommendations such as; places to eat, the Kung Fu show, and souvenir shops. Larry has great English and provided commentary to significant places in Beijing. He is well organized and knowledgeable, leading to an overall great experience!

The Best! - We were in China over spring break and used Larry for touring Beijing and The Great Wall. He is amazing and our trip would not have been the same if we did not have him guiding us around, taking us to awesome local restaurants and telling us about history and culture. Our experience in Shanghai was not as good, sadly with a different company. Do not hesitate to book him, you will not regret it. He speaks great English, is funny and patient and is more of a friend showing you around than a boring tour guide. He was punctual, organized and had an impeccable new vehicle, totally went along with our crazy ideas of eating crazy food and leaving super early for the great wall and even had a professional camera he used to take millions of pictures of us (I have teenage girls, so there are never enough pictures) Reach out to me if you have any questions, but so happy to recommend this business, wish there were more like him in the world.

Fantastic tour guide & an amazing day out - We booked this tour with Larry in the last minute, it was very well organized and easy to coordinate logistics. The hotel pick-up was easy and the trip was comfortable and better than we had expected. Larry was very accommodating and helpful answering all our questions and taking our pictures to! We had an amazing time and I would re-book again and recommend this tour guide for people who are going to Beijing to see the Great Wall for the first time. Larrys English was fantastic and overall the tour was brilliant!

Larry is a class act! - Don't waste your time with anyone else. Larry is professional, knowledgable and organized! He picked us 6 travelers up from our hotel in Beijing and took us to the Great Wall. He helped us navigate the ticketing process to get up the chairlift at Mutianyu, and even gave us fans as souvenirs when the tour was over! I'd trust him to take me anywhere in China!
