    A wonderful day - truly a trip of a lifetime! My guide Anson was terrific. He is very knowledgeable and made sure I was able to safely walk to the highest point of the wall that is open. Lunch was delicious and every detail was handled professionally. I highly recommend Anson and his drive King. Well done!

    We had a great tour and an amazing time visiting the Summer Palace and the Great Wall! Miko provided us an excellent background of each site before we arrived and took us to see the highlights, with an explanation of the different sites within as well. Miko was also clever in suggesting that we reverse the order of the typical itinerary, visiting the Summer Palace first, to reduce crowds on the wall so we could get some excellent photos with nobody around! At the wall, we were able to drive up to the upper lot by the wall to eliminate the wait time for shuttle buses from the lower lot, where tourists are usually required to park. Lunch was great, at a local spot near the wall - fantastic local Beijing food, and Miko was also great at accommodating by asking the restaurant owner to adjust the usual order when we asked if we could get some cold noodles. The ride was also very comfortable!

    Fantastic tour. Our guide Jimmy was not only a font of knowledge about both Wall and Summer Palace. He was great at getting us through massive crowds easily and quickly. Our experience would not have been as memorable without our guide. Highly recommend

    Anson was our private tour guide. We had a great time traveling to Summer Palace and Great Wall of China. Anson was extremely helpful, and helped us to carry our belongings like Stroller because we were traveling with our baby. He has great command of English and mandarin. We had a great chat throughout the trip about the history of the places we went and also about each other. As we are foreigners he also gave great tips and advice on how to travel around in other parts of China. Thank you Anson :))

    Loved the tour! Miko was our guide. Very knowledgeable and patinet. Explained the history and answered all my questions. It was very nice to go early, by private car, to beat the crowd. The lunch was delicious as well! Would recommend the tour!

    An outstanding and amazing experience guided by Mr. Wang Ming, known by Johnny. Well versed English speaker with a solid historical background to make visit memorable. I was blessed to have him today to guide me and sharing all the history behind the Great Wall and Summer Palace, by navigating among historical facts on Qing and Tang dynasties and also WWI and WWII. I left the tour guidance transformed by his sharing and the sight viewing. Also the lunch provide in a iconic Chinese restaurant, Harbin style. Spicy at the point it makes food more tasteful. I will plan to come back with my family next year and explore other areas with his guidance
