Great tour with Maggie! - We had a great time with Maggie, who was a great guide. We were able to stop at all the scenic spots that we wanted and did not feel rushed. Maggie was very friendly and very informative, and knew all about the history of the summer palace and great wall. We stopped at a great local chinese restaurant for lunch, which was delicious. The transportation was air conditioned, smooth ride, and picked us up within minutes when we were done with each area. Would definitely recommend this tour especially with Maggie who spoke English very well.

Wonderful day in Beijing - As 1st time visitors to Beijing on a limited timeline , Lily was extremely quick to respond and helped to organize a wonderful day with our tour guide Lucy Lucy was extremely knowledgeable (a walking encyclopedia), patient, and attentive to our needs. Being with a nine year old in 102degree heat is not necessarily easy, but we went through our itinerary at a good pace, learned a ton, and enjoyed ourselves. We highly recommend Lily’s Tours - and ask for Lucy and Gary (best driver in Beijing)!

Amazing trip to the Great Wall - We were lucky to have found Lily’s tour guide and got paired with tour guide Maggie for our trip to Summer Palace and the Great Wall. Maggie is an experienced guide who is punctual, friendly and enthusiastic. She shared her knowledge about the Summer Palace and Great Wall with us. The tour was well- paced and Maggie made sure that everything was taken care of, including tickets purchase, ordering lunch and even unreservedly helped us make a reservation for a dinner place. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thanks Maggie!

Excellent Experience - It was a great day. The tour guide William did an excellent job, good spoken English, very knowledgable and provided all needed historical facts in a clear manner. This section of the Great Wall was not crowded, which I really appreciated. The lunch was ok. The history facts about the Dragon Lady which were shared during the walk in the Summer Palace were interesting to learn. Thanks to the driver as well, the car was clean and he was driving safe. Definitely, would recommend booking a tour with them.

IT WAS AMAZING 🤩 🌟🇨🇳 - We had the pleasure of having Lucy as our tour guide to the Summer Palace and Great Wall of China. She was fantastic. She shared plenty about the history of China, including the various imperial dynasties. We were a family that ranged from 10 to 74 years old. Lucy adapted her commentary to suit the different ages. The local Chinese food was delicious, varied and fresh. The car was comfortable and clean. Lucy’s english was excellent and she was great company. 🇨🇳

Perfect day with a perfect guide. - Wow! What a great day! Lucy greeted us at our hotel and took us on an adventure through the Summer Palace and then on to the Great Wall. Lucy's English is excellent which allowed her to give outstanding commentary and historical information as well as on a range of topics relevant to the tour. I highly recommend her and won't hesitate to book her again next time I'm in Beijing.

Incredible day!! - We had the most fabulous day! Lucy is an amazing guide!! Her English is great and very easy to understand. She also has a delightful sense of humor. She has the right balance of information and storytelling. We never felt like we were getting blasted by facts and figures, and we ended the day with a deeper understanding of the incredible history around what we were looking at. Lucy looked after our every need. The sites were 'bucket-list' for us and didn't disappoint! I would do this tour again in another season just to see the changes in the landscape. It really was a magical day! Definitely request Lucy for your guide!!
