A day visiting wonderful sites and nature, close to Beijing, fantastic! - We had a fantastic with our guide Jeffrey and driver. It was a nice trip out of the city into the fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery. The Stone Flower Cave was spectacular, nice and cool too. Make sure you have good shoes and a jacket. Lunch at a local restaurant and souvenir shopping then we went to Peking Man site. Again beautiful nature and interesting dig sites and models of animals and humans who had lived in that area. The museum was not huge but well worth a visit, very well laid out displays. Last stop on the way home was to the Marco Polo Bridge. Jeffrey was very knowledgeable and interesting and just a really nice person to visit these amazing sites with. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to see a bit more than the usual tourist spots in Beijing. The drive was very comfortable. This has been a highlight of our visit to Beijing.

Underrated sites that should be visited - We really enjoyed our day trip out to the Stone Flower Cave and Peking Man site. Both UNESCO sites that were almost empty when we visited. Sally, our tour guide, was very personable and did a good job helping us around the sites. I'd suggest you read up on these sites before visiting. We had a delicious local lunch that was probably one of the best we had on our two week trip to China.

Flexible and friendly tour guide - I wanted to go somewhere that wasn't thronged with tourists, and would be interesting to my preteen and teenager, and this was the perfect day trip. The cave has over 2K of paths and stairs, so be ready and take good shoes since parts were slippery. Well worth it. Great for a rainy, hot, or cold day, since the cave maintains a steady temperature all year long. Pro tip: Don’t lag too far behind the guide, or the lights go off automatically! The Peking Man museum was also just our speed--quite small, just 30 to 40 minutes, but with lots of evocative statues and paintings to bring to life the significance of the bone shards found there. When traveling with kids, I like museums like that, that tell an interesting story, and are not too huge and overwhelming! The lunch was local and delicious. After, we passed a glass-bottomed bridge over a deep valley and asked Lisa if we could stop there instead of the historical Marco Polo bridge, and she happily agreed. The kids liked the rush of adrenaline from looking down and seeing 60 meters of air below their feet!

Lisa and Mr. Xie are the BEST! - Lisa and Mr. Xie went above and beyond to make sure my family had a great time. Lisa is very knowledgeable about the rich history behind everything. She also took great pictures of my family! Lisa even helped us come up with evening plans and reserved tickets for us at a martial arts show. Mr. Xie waited for us after the show and transported us back to the hotel. Big thanks to everyone at Lily Tours.

An amazing tour with a fantastic Guide - I wanted to have an adventure with my family away from the normal tourist traps. This place was amazing. Jerry was such a great guide and so much fun to talk to. He was so flexible with our schedule and was a lot of fun. He took so many pictures for us that we could just enjoy our vacation and not really worry about anything. If you are looking for something cool to do out of the center of town this tour is your best bet and Jerry is one of the best!
