Visited here on our first full day in Beijing. Miko our tour leader and the driver picked us up from the hotel which is very convenient in China since not a lot of people speak english. The Great Wall was an interesting walk though a little slippery and very cold when we visited. Miko was very professional in giving us the history of the wall and answered all our questions. He was very keen of talking pictures for us which meant we could keep our gloves on. Had a lunch at a traditional tea house which was also very good as you can taste what the Chinese home cooking is. Ming tombs was also interesting although a bit of a downer after the amazing Great wall. Miko also helped us do some shopping after the tour. Don't usually do these kinds of tours but I loved this one.

Very nice way to explore all of Beijing’s main sites within a day and not have to worry about transportation or getting lost. Lunch was also provided at a local restaurant! Our guide Coco was on time to pick us up and made sure we got back in time for our evening tour. She also took a lot of photos for us!

Lucy was an excellent Tour guide! She went above and beyond our expectations. We wanted to make a last minute change to our circuit and she immediately jumped on the phone to get the approvals to accommodate our request. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly. Thanks Lucy for such an amazing Tour!!!

Lucy did a fantastic job as our guide, she was clear on what we were doing, provided loads of great information and was always available to everyone for advice. Really enjoyed her company on our trip, everyone really loved their day trip to the wall and the included meal was really great and fresh, she even helped us buy treats to eat in the village.

Both the tombs and the Great Wall were awe inspiring to visit--a must-see for any traveler. Lucy, our private guide for the Mutianyu Great Wall and Ming Tombs tours, was the best guide we've had on any of our international trips. If we return to Beijing, we will be asking for her!

Highly recommended tour guy Coco and the drive 安师傅。Coco speaks both English and Chinese fluently and has good knowledge about the history. We had a great time visiting the Great Wall with their touring service.

Fabulous day at Great Wall and our private English speaking guide Fiona was wonderful! She provided great history and commentary during our drive to the Wall and Tombs as well as the Gondola up to and on The Wall as we walked from Tower 14 to 6 and tobogganed back down. Our day was efficient and inclusive of both sites and included an amazing local home cooked meal. Definitely recommend for a full day private guided tour! -BS

My partner and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Kelly. She was fun and easy to be with. Within the first hour we felt like old friends. Her communication skills were excellent, and she had so much knowledge to give. She arrived early, and worked past her scheduled time to take us to a silk shop to buy gifts for family members. If you're ready for an awesome adventure, Kelly is your girl!

Our incredible tour guide Coco, her driver and private travel to two amazing sites made this day trip special. A private tour, while more expensive, is a really nice way to have access to a local expert that can help make the day immersive while visiting two meaningful locations. Coco is a fantastic guide and such a kind and knowledgeable person. The tour company was very responsive leading up to the trip and made us confident everything was in order. Coco and the driver were on time and attentive to little things that would make the day personalized for me and my fiancée. We also enjoyed our time at lunch as well as a Jade jewelry company. The entire day was very special and a highlight of our visit to Beijing.

Informativer, mit viel Engagement geführter Ausflug. Flexibel (weil notwendig wegen der offiziellen Feierlichkeiten) in der Abfolge. Vermutlich komme ich mit anderer Begleitung wieder, werde aber sicher wieder buchen.
