Our trip through Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City was very insightful. Tom did a great job of managing 5 different passports through the various gates and explaining the history in detail. Unfortunately the Great Wall was foggy but it added to the mystery.

Hey guys, I'm very satisfied with the complete service of this agency. Professional attitude towards clients, maximum effort to make the client satisfied, very affordable price of the arrangement in relation to the service and well-behaved guide Tom who made his big contribution to make the whole group feel satisfied. Also, the mini-bus which drove us was at a high level. Applause to the overall impression! 👏 👏👌👌

Had a great tour and a great guide. Climbing the Great Wall at 40 degrees Celsius needs a bit of fitness 🤣

Had a great time on this tour and got to see Beijing's highlights pretty efficiently! Got picked up at our hotel, enjoyed the forbidden city in the morning. Lunch was Chinese food and pretty tasty. Had plenty of time to climb and see the wall!

Very high level and dysfunctional tour. Pros: Lunch was good and all 3 attractions are amazing and must see but tour was a complete let down. Cons: 1. Company is dysfunctional and they put me on wrong tour. After wasting 2 hours and endless back and forth, they finally put me on right tour. 2. Guide had very shallow knowledge and was very casual. Unlike other tour guide, he had no flag and we somehow had to follow his hand in a very crowded area. He was a short guy and his hand was hardly visible. So every 5 minute, tour had to wait for another 10 minutes for everyone to get together. He also had no audio devices and it didn’t even matter because he hardly told us anything. It was more of a walking tour which we could have done our own. 3. They didn’t purchase any tickets in advance although we booked tour 1-2 weeks in advance. As a result we wasted more than 2 hours of tour time just to stand in line and purchase tickets. 4. As a result of all the chaos, we hit peak rush hour traffic on the way back and didn’t get back until 830 pm (long 13 he day). They tried to drop us few miles away from our hotel telling us we can just walk for 45 minutes to our hotel. We put our foot down and said no way. In the end, they did drop us somewhat close to our hotel
