Zhao Jinfu was an incredible and super kind person, he explained everything and helped us so much! The experience at the Great Wall was excellent and funny! We recommend that tour with super Zhao! Thank you so much for this amazing day ❤️

Great trip to see the Great Wall. Our driver Xia Qingguo couldn’t have been better. He was extremely friendly and so helpful with assisting us with our infant. He made the trip extremely enjoyable and we would definitely recommend!

The car was new, clean and very comfortable. The guide used a translation device to communicate which worked well. He was punctual, very friendly and took us to a great local restaurant after our Great Wall visit.

Li Yanbin was my driver and he was very helpful and welcoming. As I was travelling solo he guided me up the wall and even provided drinks and snacks! I was taken back to the airport with plenty of time

Great Guide - XING Jian was very helpful and a positive person! We also showed the Olympic Stadium.
