    3 in 1 tour for limited time in Beijing
    My husband and I did the 3 in 1 private tour. We visited Tiananmen square, The Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China. If you have limited time in Beijing I would definitely recommend this tour to get the most out of the day. Lucy accompanied us as our tour guide. Lucy's English is excellent and knows the history of the City very well. We learned a lot. Our Tour was well prepared and very well managed. Lunch was delicious. Lucy was super patient with us and took loads of great photos. Ample of interesting facts and own time, so all in all I would really recommend this tour. The Forbidden City is very interesting and the part of the wall we visited was stunning. We finished the day with a tea ceremony which was thoroughly enjoyed.

    Very memorable day, recommended
    Really enjoyable day. Very well organised from start to finish. Special memories of these amazing sites. Worked well with Kids 12 & 10. Keith was very kind and made sure we were well looked after. Ability to drive into the inner part of the Great Wall compound was a massive plus.

    Your search has ended- book this tour for the Forbidden City
    We do not speak any Chinese and were worried that navigating entry into the Forbidden Cjty would be difficult. Luckily we found this tour. The reviews are accurate - this is a great tour. We had an absolutely fantastic time visiting the Forbidden City. Our guide Aaron was friendly, informative and enthusiastic. He provided in depth historical information about each area of the Forbidden City complex that we visited, and he also had wonderful practical advice -from where to get the best photographs to where the toilets were. Aaron spoke impeccable English and was able to guide our group effortlessly through the crowds and security checks. We had a fun time and cannot recommend this tour or our guide Aaron enough!

    Good experience but..
    The tour was overall very good except a stop in a jade store. We spend more time in the so called “jade factory “ than in the Great Wall.

    A must have experience in Beijing!
    This tour was an amazing experience. All the four restaurents were excellent - places I would have never found on my own! The end of the tour at a Beer plc was just perfect. Our Guide Tina was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to make sure we will got our taxi / ride back home post the tour. A must have experience in Beijing for all foodies!

    An unforgettable experience
    I recently participated in a walking tour of the Forbidden City, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Wendy, made the tour exceptional with her friendly and fun personality. From the moment we started, Wendy's enthusiasm was contagious, and her deep knowledge of the history and culture of the Forbidden City truly brought the ancient site to life.

    The Forbidden City itself is a breathtaking marvel;I highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting Beijing.

    The BEST sunset view I could wish for!
    I’m so very glad I booked this tour! My main focus was to walk as much of the walk as possible & I got the best of both worlds - old & new. The BEST part about it was the lack of tourists clogging up the view 🙌 it was really peaceful & I got the most iconic pictures - dreams really do come true 😎 I can’t remember my guides name now but she was fabulously informative & answered all my questions 👍

    A thoroughly enjoyable tour. Totally recommended
    We were booked on a small group tour for Jinshanling Sinatai tour. We were surprisingly collected from our hotel in a Lincoln Limousine. There were only the two of us on the tour. We had an excellent guide, Oliver who, on the way to the wall, related a very interesting report on all the different dynasties involved in building the wall and the development of China how it is today. There were hardly and visitors at the wall, so it was more or less a private tour. It too us 3.5 hours, and was fantastic. Oliver was an excellent guide, very polite and respectful. We had a lovely Chinese lunch afterwards and we were returned directly to our hotel by 6 pm. A perfect day. Thank you to Gary, the tour organiser for such a wonderful tour of the Great Wall.
