Fabulous tour of major Beijing sites and Great Wall - Our group of 5 all had a tremendous time seeing the major sights of Beijing and packed a lot into the schedule over 2 days. On Day 1 of the tour covering inner Beijing, our guide David organised everything immaculately from transport to admission tickets and a delicious lunch as well as guiding us through the ubiquitous security checks. He offered us additional tourism options which enhanced our Beijing experience. His friendly manner and willingness to answer questions were very much appreciated and helped to make it a most memorable day. On Day 2 we really enjoyed the Great Wall (arrived early in the morning avoiding the crowds) and Summer Palace illuminated by Keith's interesting explanations of the historical background delivered with engaging humour throughout. The toboggan ride down from the Wall was a wonderful fun highlight.

Thanks for everything David! - This was a great and exciting way to discover Beijing! Our guide, David, made sure to facilitate things for us, explain all what he knows, and take us around the city and its key sights. I highly recommend this tour as Beijing is a busy city and hard to navigate on your own. An experimented guide will be a great help, and getting to know the context of each of the spotlights will enhance your experience. David also took us to great eating spots and even offered his help and advice for what we wanted/needed to know after the tour. Totally recommend!

We loved this 2 days Beijing tour! - We loved this 2 days Beijing tour very much! The itinerary is very good, not intense, don’t feel rushed, well planned. And the tour guides are very nice, very helpful, and very knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. Thanks to Keith and David! Also, Keith’s van was super nice and conformable, wishes we could buy it back home. The attractions are very nice, no crowds at this time of the year which is a plus! We loved Mutianyu section of the great wall, and its toboggan slide down, was very fan! The forbidden palace was massive, with lots of things to see and learned lots of history there. This is a very nice tour to do, highly recommended to everyone!

Very good experience, would recommend - We travelled as a group of 3 and we were super thankful for this tour because they pretty much took care of everything for us. Our first day was with David who took us on a tour through the inner city. It was an interesting and educational experience with lots of amazing scenic views and great photo spots. He took good care of us and even went out of his way to ensure we saw everything we wanted to see, even if it wasn’t part of our itinerary. We mentioned wanting to do a tea ceremony and he planned it seamlessly into our day. Our second day was with Keith who took us to the summer palace and to the great wall. He went out of his way to accommodate for us and even helped us avoid the worst of the queues and the waiting around. That day too was a very fun day, learning lots of the history associated with the two places and again, getting some pretty awesome pictures.

Best tour in Beijing! - It’s a great option if you want to have a good experience while in Beijing. The tour is great, it starts very punctual and Keith explains everything in english clearly. While in the tour you don’t have to worry for anything because they do everything for you. It’s a great option if you have only a few days in Beijing. We also met great people while in the tour and its almost prívate in a nice van :)

Great for 1st time China as solo traveller - I was visiting China for the first time and this small tour gave me a care-free experience of the highlights in Beijing. Plus as a solo traveler it was a great way to meet others from around the world.

Solo Female traveler - I debated writing this review. But if I were the person buying this tour, I would've loved to know the pros and cons before making the purchase. Pros: Both guides speak Good English They are knowledgeable Cover a lot of places The cons: They won't pick you up if you are outside the 2nd Ring Road. The female tour guide dropped everyone off at a hotel, knowing that we couldn't call a taxi because of the language barrier. We told her that we needed a taxi to go to our hotel. The female tour guide was less organized than the guy from the day before. I was debating about leaving a review because it was a two-day tour with different people. One did great, and the other was OK.
