We had an amazing, smooth trip to the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Our guide, Yulia, was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable we were lucky to have her. Highly Recommended 😊

We had a very good time with the tour gide lady, Aria, throughout the day trip to the Mutianyu Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Aria was very helpful and communicative, she explained the history of each place very well and detail. Everything was so seamless we didn't have to think about how to get in, how to get the ticket, etc, because everything was already provided. Would totally recommend this day trip (and Aria) to everyone coming to Beijing!

I had such a great time on this tour! Mike and Kevin, were absolutely amazing, funny, energetic, and just on top of everything. Their sense of humor made the whole experience fun! We had a big group, but they managed it well. Before the tour, I got text messages with all the details — clear instructions on where to meet, what to bring, and what to expect. The meeting time was 8 a.m., but we left a few minutes early, so don’t just be on time — be early! On the drive there, they gave really clear explanations and shared background info about the Great Wall and the surrounding area. They were knowledgeable & made the ride both fun and informative. They also provided water bottles and even envelopes with our tickets, which kept everything super organized. Definitely go for the buffet-style lunch option! It was delicious & really convenient. The company has its own building with the buffet, café, small shop, and waiting area. Overall, such a well-run, enjoyable tour with amazing guides.

杨导was very professional and bilingual! She was very clear in her instructions and very patient especially when there were other tour members who were missing and she still tried to contact them. The best part of the tour was the bird's nest tour! Even though we were late and close to the closing time, we still managed to complete the tour! However, the hotel pick-up was poor. The van came to pick us but there were not enough seats and ended up having to book a cab for us. Company should have better planning for this.

Mr Zhao was our guide. He helped us with buying tickets, photography, and make everything easier for us. no need shuttle bus because he had a vip way to go up and near lift. He took a lots of awesome pictures ( even tell the crowded to move little bit to make sure we got a good pic😂).
