Thank you Leo, we have the Most Amazing Beijing Trip! - We have such a wonderful trip in Beijing. Our guide for the trip, Mr Leo, is simply Fantastic! He is so knowledgeable! We learnt so much from him and able to engage in meaningful conversation throughout the trip.
He brought us to Gubeikou Great Wall and tracked with us through the most amazing hike. It was such a memorable experience.
He also hiked with us through the sunset in Jinshanling Great Wall. The timing was perfect ! He was the most perfect photographer for our trip. The pictures taken were fantastic!
Leo drove us to Cuandixia Ancient Village and we were able to experience the nuances of the local life here.
We love the history & stories shared by Leo during our visit to The Forbidden City & Tiananmen. It's just amazing!
Thanks Leo for driving us to the Tanzhe Temple. We were able to view the most beautiful autumn hues in the Ginkgo trees.
Lastly, thank you for bringing to savour the most delicious Peking Duck, the most scrumptious hotpot and the most memorable local delicacy throughout the short trip.
We love Beijing ! Thank you and blessed wishes to you and your beloved family!

Best tour ever, and highlight of our trip! - My wife and I spent 3 weeks in China, and our time with Leo was the highlight of our trip! This was the best tour we ever had, anywhere in the world!
The communication with him before the trip was excellent. The information on his website and videos on YouTube are great. The ride in his minivan was very comfortable. Talking with him made the long ride feel so short. His English is excellent, and his insights are so informative.
We went on the private sunset tour to Gubeikou and Jinshanling Great Walls at the end of October, and both places were incredibly peaceful with no tourists-- we saw only 4 other people there. In between, we had a great lunch in a local restaurant. The hikes at sunset were incredible! Leo took many amazing professional quality photos of us—the best photos of our trip!
We wish we had done other tours, to the Forbidden City and Summer Palace, with Leo. Next time we go to Beijing, we will do the overnight tour to the Great Wall with Leo. We made such a great connection with Leo that we invited him to stay with us in the US, and we hope he can do it.
Our advice is to spend as much time as you can with Leo, and it will be the highlight of your trip to China.

Terrific day trip to Great Wall with Leo - We had ann amazing experience with our guide Leo hiking the Gubeikou and Jinshanling sections of the Great Wall. Leo is very knowledgeable on where to go and when. Leo took care of everything, making the experience easy and stress-free. He also took great pictures of us during the journey for us to remember our trip. The Great Wall was well worth the visit!

Highlight of our Beijing visit - This was the highlight of our Beijing vacation and exceeded our expectations. Leo picked us up with a comfortable car at 11 AM at the hotel, so we had a relaxed morning. The drive is long (2-2.5 hour) but so worth it. We first went to the unrestored wall. It’s a bit of hike to go up, but very rewarding. There was no one else there, except a guard and at the end an other tourist climbed up. Next we went for a late lunch in a local restaurant, and had some great dishes and local beer. Then we went to a restored part of the wall - but as we came late, people were leaving when we arrived. The wall was amazing and only a few people left. We had asked for the optional bottle of wine and enjoyed the sunset with a glass of wine. This was a great memory. Leo is also a very nice guy, speaks English very well. I would highly recommend.

Best Great Wall Tour! - Absolutely incredible!! If you're planning on seeing the Great Wall in China, look no further. This is THE BEST tour. Leo was a fantastic tour guide. We saw two different spots of the wall and hiked for about 3 hours in total. This is the best tour because you can see the Great Wall during both day time and sunset. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting China!!

An amazing experience and tour - An incredible way to see the Great Wall. Private car pickup at our hotel and returned.
Visiting two wonderful and different sections of the wall with very few tourists, we had the wall all to ourselves a lot of the day. Very friendly, helpful guide with many interesting stories to share about the history of the wall and China. Enjoyed the tasty authentic lunch. Absolutely recommend this!

Amazing, no crowds, the real wall experience - An amazing experience. Adele our host could not have been any better. Her English is brilliant, her driver was the best we had in Beijing.
I struggled with the heat (34 degrees) but Adele let me take my time and crawl up and down the extremely steep steps in parts.
Highly recommended especially if you don’t like crowds and want to see the real wall !!

The perfect trip to the Great Wall - We had a trip of a lifetime to the Great Wall at Gubeikou and Jinshanling today. Not cheap but every bit as amazing as we had hoped and worth every penny. I have visited the sections at Badaling and Yuyongguan before but they were incredibly busy, commercialized and so perfectly restored that it felt like a Disneyland imitation. So I wanted a more authentic experience when visiting with my family this year. These sections are breathtakingly beautiful and we had it (almost) all to ourselves. And we were taken care of so well from beginning to end by Ricky at the office and David our knowledgeable and pleasant guide, as well as the driver.
Highly recommended!!
