driver contacts me day prior to confirm trip. prompt pickup. car is comfy n clean. driver is friendly n updates us on journey as well as intro us more places to visit. Abt 1.5h ride to mutianyu - still crowded, but definitely lesser than badaling. then another 40min ride to water great wall (huanghuacheng) built nx to a dam - Park is desserted (<10 people - wonderful for photos). Can revisit HHC in the summer when the boat rides n high elements (flying fox etc) are open ;)

ARIA is the best tour guide you can possible have in Beijing. She knows her stuff & very passionate about it. She is also in tuned with other nationalities & can converse regardless of nationality, giving a diverse approach to her as a guide. She also speaks English very well. She also gave us enough time for each destination.

The itinerary was very well planned. We were able to experience both the Great Wall and the Summer Palace in one trip, with plenty of time at each location and no shopping stops. The tour guide also provided professional bilingual commentary.

My partner and I wanted a chill itinerary and this posting was the only one that fit all our needs - great wall and Gubei Water Town transport with no tour guide, from morning until night. Ya Jun (亚军) was our assigned driver and he was very friendly and helpful, offering to help buy tickets in advance, walking us to the attraction entrances and recommending a local delicacy for lunch. The car was very comfortable with no cigarette smell, allowing us to take power naps to recharge along the way.
