“Our guide, Lucy, was incredible! She had so much local knowledge and was super clear with her explanations. The hotel pick up service was so convenient as we stayed between the 2nd-3rd ring. Our group had 5 people (maximum 8) which was amazing as it allowed heaps of space to ask questions. The day was well paced, with the buffet lunch provided generous and delicious. Lucy even arranged a taxi for us to get home and checked in to make sure we made it home safely! This tour was the perfect way for us to experience Beijing and we would recommend it to anyone visiting China.”

“Lucy was our guide and she was wonderful! She taught us so much about the history of the Wall, the various dynasties and reigning emperor's. The summer palace is a work of art! My mother is elderly and was a bit slower or needed to stay behind at some points of the wall, but Lucy was always very attentive to her. Would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Lucy (and driver) for an excellent day.”
