trevordN4254QF, October 2026
A great day visiting the Great Wall and Summer Palace. The information provided by our guide William was first class. The background information on how the things we visited integrated with Chinese culture and history made a significant difference to the overall experience. Food at lunchtime in a local restaurant near to the wall was excellent. Pick up was on time at every location we visited. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personal tour.

Great Vacations in Beijing
Rosa_V, October 2026
Excellent Service! Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We booked a private tour for four people over two days, with two different tour guides. 1. Clara was our guide on the first day. She did an excellent job explaining everything in Spanish. 2. Hanna was our guide on the second day when we visited the Great Wall of China. She gave us an excellent tour in English. Both guides were wonderful, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. Our driver was also very responsible and drove safely. Everyone arrived on time and gave us their full attention, making sure we had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious! I have a bad knee, and both guides were incredibly patient, caring, and understanding. They made sure I was comfortable and never rushed me, which I truly appreciated. We visited all the attractions listed in the tour description, and the guides provided excellent explanations at every stop. They were always kind, took beautiful pictures of us, and offered us bottled water throughout the tours. Everything was excellent from beginning to end! I also want to recognize Cathy from customer service, who was extremely kind, helpful, and attentive to me. If you are visiting Beijing with your family, I highly recommend this private tour! We had a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized tour. Thank you to Clara, Hanna, our driver, and Cathy for making our visit to Beijing such a wonderful experience!

Our tour with Herbie was excellent - highly recommended! We learned lots about the attractions that we visited and their history. The food provided was delicious and catered for all dietary requirements. The transport was very comfortable, arrived on-time and was hassle free - we were dropped off and picked up very close to each of the sites. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned out. We would happily book another tour with this provider on our next visit!

10/10 tour. All you have to see in 2 days.
Alberto_S, October 2026
Extremely complete tour. Everything you need to do in Beijing in 2 days is here. Cathy was amazing. We traveled with a 12 month old baby and she was always looking after her. She is extremely knowledgeable in Chinese history and culture. The tour also included the meal included in the price in really authentic restaurants both in the city centre and in Mutianyu. The service was fantastic always picking us up with the car and never having to worry about everything. They even provided a baby chair which is extremely important for these type of trips which require a lot of driving. Thank you Cathy, the driver and the company.
