Feedback on the 2 days trip in Beijing - Our trip to Beijing was amazing because of the well organized plan and our great tour guide Mark. He was patient, funny, very knowledgeable with what he’s doing. I strongly suggest people who are planning to go to Beijing choose this plan as their first option.

Unforgettable 2-Day Beijing Trip - As a solo traveller, I was hesitant to go sight-seeing in Beijing by myself. Thankfully, Leo's Guide & Driver Service swooped in to save the day, by organising a jam-packed 2-day tour for me that I'll never forget. Thanks to them, I was able to see all the amazing places the great city has to offer, including Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, Hou Hai Lake, The Temple of Heaven, The Summer Palace and finally The Great Wall. This experience was truly special, and much of that can be credited to my amazing guide Jenny, whose friendly nature and extensive cultural/historical knowledge made everything that much more enjoyable. If you ever find yourself wanting to see all the best sights during a short stay in Beijing, then I can't recommend booking the Beijing Private 2-Day Tour enough; it's worth every penny!

Great 2 days around Beijing - We visited Beijing with our 15, 11 & 8 yo children and were shown around by April. April was very friendly and spoke excellent English (Graduate student in English) and was a hit with our children - we all found her very approachable and answered all our questions. Importantly, she seemed to understand just how much detail/info to deliver to maintain interest without the kids' eyes glazing over. There was a separate driver (Mr Wang) and we were comfortable in their 7-seater minivan. We visited the Great Wall at Mutianyu on day 1 followed by a tour through a Hutong in the afternoon, then on day two we visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. With lunch stops, this was about the right amount of tourism for our family. April was able to show us nice restaurants for lunch stops, where everyone could find something they enjoyed at a very reasonable price.

Busy and Wonderful - We were a group of six who arrived in Tianjin by cruise ship on October 30, 2019. I set everything up in advance with Leo and he was great to work with on the planning of our itinerary. It was obvious that he had shared all the planning with April, because everything went smoothly, just like we discussed in our emails. April went above and beyond. She kept us on schedule with never making us feel rushed. She explained everything in advance so we always knew what to expect. She even helped us get checked into the hotel and made sure everything was ok before she left for the evening. Then she met us at the hotel early the next morning to help us get a breakfast we could take with us on the road. I highly recommend Leo’s Private Tours and ask for April, because she is awesome!

Outstanding service; highly educational trip - We went on this tour primarily for our daughter to get to know her home country's roots and history... and we were not disappointed! April was a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable, and was very much able to shift between speaking English and Mandarin Chinese to convey each place's background and historical perspective. She was very effective in our time management, and got us into very crowded sites quickly, while at the same time, "taking the road less travelled" in each location, for a more relaxed experience, and great photo opportunities. My wife and I have been to all the locations previously, and yet we were enlightened on many historical facts we did not know. Our driver Mr. Sun was courteous, prompt, helpful, and friendly all throughout, despite the heavy crowds and tough parking situations. There were no hidden fees, nor the feeling that we were being rushed. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! We highly recommend both April and Mr. Sun!

Polite, easy, superb service! - We had a combination of a tour through Beijing highlights as well as a private driver service to take us to Jinshanling - an absolutely amazing section of the Great Wall. The company was incredibly easy to deal with, patient with our itinerary changes, and provided a lovely guide - Cindy - for our day in Beijing. Mr. Ma, our driver, was incredibly polite, easy-going, and gave us great recommendations for food. The rates for excursions were very reasonable and we will definitely be recommending to friends who make the trek here. Well done!

Excellent Beijing Tour - Amazing service - We booked a 2 day private Tour in Beijing. We visited Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, Great Wall and Summer Palace. Our English speaking tour guide was Helen and what a nice surprise to have a guide that is simply Amazing! Helen exceeded all our expectations and went the extra mile to ensure that our trip was most memorable and enjoyable. For example, totally unsolicited, she brought her personal high tech camera and took amazing pictures at the Great Wall. She knew all the best spot! Helen is so so friendly that we wish she was continuing the journey with us on our way to Shanghai....She was almost considered family. Her driving partner was also excellent and work well together. We would highly recommend Helen to anybody visiting Beijing as she is really special.

Two-day private tour of Beijing - My review comes a little late, but still worth it. We had an excellent tour with April and her driving partner. April is knowledgeable, attentive, professional, kind, patient and fun. There was not a single glitch during the two days. It was a fascinating master class in Chinese culture and history. I highly recommend April!
