Great Experience
texaninindo, 10-01-2020
This was our second tour with the company and it was fantastic. Sherry picked us up promptly at the airport, taught us quite a bit on the ride, and gave us a wonderful tour through Forbidden City. She explained so many interesting facts and took us through many places we may have missed on our own. It was nice having a driver as well because he picked us up on the other side so we didn’t have to walk all the way back. Highly recommend both this and a Great Wall tour if your time allows!

This tour was very well organized. All involved were extremely helpful and considerate, and Sherry the tour guide went over and above from what was expected from her. She taught us a great deal of her city and her culture, and conducted a superb tour.
As we were transfer people we did not have alot of time, but organized it on line from our hotel and were picked up at our hotel and met Sherry on route. Excellent.
Forbidden city Tour

Sherry was our tour guide and she sure was knowledgeable!! Her and the driver were on time from picking us up at the airport and were super nice. We also asked for jackets prior to tour via email, which they provided. Not only did my wife and I feel very safe with driver and tour guide, but had a lot of fun! The car was very clean, looks brand new! Highly recommend. Also, pick up and drop off from airport was included in price, which was very convenient.
Trip to great Wall of China
Rhtabani, 14-11-2019
Me and my wife took a trip to great Wall with Tony the guide in Beijing. He made our trip very enjoyable and comfortable. On our way back he took us to an automatic halal Chinese restaurant for soup and BBQ. In our next trip to Beijing we will use this company and also refer to our friends and families.

Thank you Tony.

Perfect tour for a very long layover in Beijing
Angelika H, 19-04-2019
I had a 22 hours layover in Beijing and booked this tour to escape the airport and see some of the beautiful things of the surrounding of the city.
It was a day full of walking, good exercise btw after a long flight:). We spent a few hours in the forbidden city. As it was very warm and I was a little bit tired we had a short coffee break there.
After lunch which we had in a very good restaurant we went for another long walk at the summer palace.
I got a lot of informationen about the chinese history and about the places we had been.
My tourguide Michael was always kind, caring and focused on my welfare.
I would highly recommend this tour if you are interested in seeing nice places, getting plenty of informationen and having a great exercise in between your flights.
Have fun:)!
