Great Day at the Great Wall - We had the best tour guide Jack and the best driver 孙志升。When you book through Discover Beijing Tours, they made sure everything was covered. As recommended by the guide, we moved our itinerary to avoid the peak dumpling festival. Take note that at the visitor centre, everyone has to get off and take their internal shuttle. The guide bought us return tickets on the funicular. Very worth it as climbing up and down the wall can be exhausting . Jack also knew where are the photogenic spots. Our tour was very efficient. Driver 孙’s standard was top notch. Brought us there and back safely. Car was very clean.

Crowded but a fantastic tour - Our guide for this tour was Edward. Him and his driver were amazing. Edward was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. The Badaling section of the wall was very busy so just be warned about that but if you want to go to that section I would defiantly recommend this tour. The Ming Tombs were quite amazing and well worth a visit.

Great day at the Great Wall - We had a wonderful trip to Badaling. Our host chauffer Jason picked three of us from our hotel on time at 8:00 and drove us to the Badaling part of the Great Wall. The car was clean, air-conditioned and stocked with water, which was very helpful for the hot weather oustside. We could communicate main things in English. At Badaling, Jason guided us all the way to the Wall, making sure we passed the ticket booth and cable car entrance. All in all the journey was amazing!

GREAT WALL OF CHINA - What a fantastic day at the Great Wall of Chine, Definitely an amazing experience. In my opinion other than seeing and walking the Great Wall was my tour guide Lisa. Chen. Lisa made the experience seamless. She was extremely helpful in everyway, from pick up from hotel to drop off. She took photos on tour, help me set up my photo for Alipay. Everything about my Great Wall experience was perfect. Thank you Lisa Chen. Lisa is also fluent in English.

Nice experience in Ming Tombs - Good trip though the weather is not supportive for us in Baidaling (too cloudy to see things and too crowded with Chinese domestic traveller). The Ming tombs experience is nice with lots of attractions (for anyone interested in Chinese Forbidden City structure) and cultural stories (esp. for Chu Di Tombs) A very dedicated driver (Jason/ 姜淼) taking care of us. 姜淼 could communicate in basic English and go alongside our Jorney in Baidaling & Minh Tombs (from ticket center to cable station/ ticket counter and be constantly responsive whenever we reached out). He could tell us some interesting facts (in Chinese though for anyone who has some basic Chinese skills)

A tailored day trip around Beijing - Our driver was Bobo. Although he doesn’t speak English, with the use of his brilliant translator we could easily communicate, learn about the history of every visited place and even tell jokes :) We had limited time in Beijing and we wanted to see as much as possible. He listened to us and tailored the whole trip to match our needs. It was very well organized, everything went smooth and we saw everything we wanted. We 100% recommend to take this tour, especially with Bobo. He took great care of us, was very helpful and also showed us a reasonably priced restaurant for lunch with Beijing specialties.
