Day tour of the Great Wall and Forbidden City - We decided to stop in Beijing for a day in-transit to see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Mark's team did a great job from beginning to end! May was an excellent guide and Su and Bruce were excellent drivers (Bruce even gave us a return gift on the way back). While it was very cold in Beijing in end of December, it was great to see these wonderful sights in the absence of large crowds. Highly recommended!

Tour with May - The tour was easy to arrange through Mark - he was very responsive and we were able to book it 5 days in advance. Our tour guide, May and driver were both timely and courteous. May was friendly and knowledgeable, she spoke good English and ensured we had an efficient trip.

Beijing Tour - I only contacted Mark through email after reading about great reviews about the tour. He was very responsive and easy to transact with. Sun was assigned to take us around and gave us the time we needed to go around the Great Wall (Mutianyu) and the Forbidden City. Sun was very accommodating, very good in speaking english, very nice and brought us to a great local restaurant. I am definitely recommending this if you want to go around Beijing. Thank you and hope to come back soon.

Overlay Day tour with May - We had an overlay in Bejing for 12 hours, after spending longer than expected for our temporary 24 hour visa, May picked us up at the airport.
We had great communication with the organization that it would take longer than expected.
She then asked us what we would want to see, and because of the limited time we chose for The square and the forbidden city.
She took us there vere quickly via public transport.
Gave us a great tour, and we ended the tour with a visit to a original tea-house with a authentic tea party and had dumplings at a great and cheap restaurant.
All in all we had a great one day experience!
Great guide
Great personality
We will visit Bejing again in the future!

Beijing Highlights Tour - I can't say enough about this tour company and guide. First off, working with Mark Ma to set up our custom tour was extremely easy. Mark was able to accommodate a custom agenda which included picking up 2 of our friends for just for the afternoon portion of our tour to Summer Palace. We also visited Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven...all which were amazing by the way! But, our tour guide May made the trip memorable with lots of great insight into the history of everything we were seeing. May was extremely friendly, had great English and definitely knows the in's and out's of Beijing! She allowed us to bypass many lines, took us to a delicious restaurant for lunch and every booked us tickets for the "Golden Mask Dynasty" show at the end of our tour...which wasn't part of the original plan, but glad she did that. I highly recommend Mark's Driver service and would ask to have May as your tour guide if you're looking for a great experience in Beijing.

Trip to Great Wall and Forbidden City - We had a tour with May (Guide)and Mr Ge (Driver), both were extremely helpful and very polite. We had a wonderful time with them visiting the Great Wall and Forbidden City. May was very knowledgeable and friendly as she made sure we did not miss out on anything.
Mr. Ge was very polite and gave us food and water during the service. They managed our time very well, because of them we were able to see everything and still got us back in time for our flight.
We would highly recommend May and Mr. Ge for any tours in Beijing. Their service was courteous and amazing.

Mark's Mutianyu Great Wall Tour - We love May.She is a delightful and informed English-speaking guide, who made our visit to the Great Wall most memorable. She was attentive to our own needs, yet did not hesitate to gently persuade us to take the toboggan down the mountain from the Great Wall, which was lots of fun (we are in very good physical shape, but in our 70s). She is filled with information and suggestions where to take the best pix and what to do, and she is lots of fun. For an amazing English-speaking tour guide, we warmly recommend May. I might add that this is our second tour with Mark's tours, and both our drivers were excellent and most courteous, with very comfortable cars.

Beijing Forbidden City & Great Wall 1 Day Tour - Had a wonderful time with May and Mr Sun. Visited Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and the Mutianyu Great Wall. The trip was well planned and relaxing. The lunch was mouthwatering. Both of them are considerate and also share a lot of information during our trip.
Highly Recommended!

Layover Great Wall Tour with May - Today we completed the Mutianyu Great Wall tour with May and the personal driver. This was a very good experience. It was very convenient and flexible; they picked my wife and I up from the hotel where we were staying at our requested time, we visited Tianamen Square, Forbidden City, and the Mutianyu Great Wall. Then they drove us directly to the PEK Beijing airport to fly back to the US. They planned so we could skip all lines, avoid most crowds, and see everything without feeling rushed. They also cared for our luggage while we visited the sites. May was wonderful and spoke very good English. We highly recommend Mark's Tours with May as the guide!
