Traveler reviews
A great day!
We had a very enjoyable day despite the holiday crowds. Bobo was an excellent guide, attentive without being overbearing and contributed to a brilliant experience. The information she provided was extremely interesting and she was determined to provide us with a memorable trip which she did. Thoroughly recommended
Great day out!
Maggie was an excellent tourguide, who took us where we needed to go in an orderly and efficient manner. She was friendly and outgoing as well; I would recommend her and would love to tour with her again in the future.
Excellent tour with an experienced guide!
Maggie, our tour guide, was excellent! She knew how to navigate the queues and got us smoothly through Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China on an incredibly busy Sunday at the start of Golden Week. Our small group of eight made the experience very enjoyable. Maggie was flexible and gave us plenty of time at every attraction, so we never felt rushed. I have spent eight to nine months a year travelling for the past eight years, and I can highly recommend Maggie and our driver, Xiao. Thank you both for a wonderful day!
