5.00We had an amazing tour of Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall with Jerry as our guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly patient throughout the day. Traveling with young children can be challenging, but Jerry went out of his way to help our family and made sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. He shared fascinating historical information while keeping the tour enjoyable and easy to follow. In addition to being a fantastic guide, Jerry gave us excellent recommendations for local restaurants and helped us make the most of our time in Beijing. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made this one of the highlights of our trip. I would highly recommend this tour and especially recommend requesting Jerry as your guide. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
Great tour of Beijing and major sites

5.00Maggie, our tour guide, was fantastic. She looked after all of us very well. She is very efficient and advised us very well on what to expect and what to do. She took us to see the hidden gems of each place and shared stories about each place very nicely. The pickup and drop off points were good and convenient. Lunch was great and the bus that took us to the Great Wall was nice and very clean. We really had a great time. Truly value for money. Highly recommended.
Perfect tour - great guide!
