The trip was very well organised. It was clear from the start what was included and what wasn’t. Communication was great, I always knew where to go and what to expect. Driver was friendly and professional. I had an amazing day and so glad I have booked. It is not easy to find the way around, especially to get to the great wall. Little bonus is that the driver was permitted to drive up to the cable car location which saves on the queue to get up with the shuttle bus. It is also quite difficult to get tickets to the forbidden city outside china but Linda was straight on it and made it happen. I would recommend!

My stopover in Beijing lasted 12 1/2 hours, so I didn't have a lot of time. With this tour I was able to see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in one day, which was great. The driver was very friendly and accommodating, I got free water in the car. A little cash for the cable car on the Great Wall, souvenirs, food... I had previously exchanged at the airport. The ticket for the Forbidden City had to be purchased a week in advance using personal details, so my organizer contacted me. Luckily, I also had the perfect weather! An unforgettable day for me! But if you want to do this tour, you should really make sure you have a minimum stay of 12 or 13 hours.

I had a layover and wanted to see the great wall! My guide went above and beyond to get me there... After being held up for hours at the airport he did what he could to make sure I got to see the wall and had an awesome time! He took amazing photos and I am forever grateful to have a wonderful transition into the city! I would highly recommend!

My partner and I had a great time on our day tour with Linda. She was simple to organize with in advance, she came to pick us up at the hotel on time in a nice and clean van. She was flexible with our needs and very responsible to help us get to where we needed to go. She was really nice as well and it was enjoyable to get to know her during the day. The forbidden city and the wall were astounding highlights of our Asia pacific trip. I highly recommend this tour and Linda!

I booked this tour for my family of mostly 50+ and they had an amazing time. Their tour guide was very thorough and made sure they got back to the airport in time. Linda was the tour organizer and her communication was great which eased my worries as my family doesn’t travel overseas often. I wanted to make sure they were taken care of and she did just that. Thanks again for making their experience unforgettable!
