Lily our tour guide did an excellent job! He was super helpful and nice! We had a 10 hour layover and that gave us plenty of time we needed for the tour! Thanks so much! We had a great time!
Great way to see the great wall and summer palace. Our guide was terrific in giving us a tour of the wall and then giving us time to roam around on our own. The guide's English was very good and explanations very interesting. Highly recommend the tour.

We booked this last minute and couldn't have been more delighted! The reply was super quick and Sherry and our driver were fantastic. Sherry checked in with us the evening before to ensure we were prepared for our trip and the timings. She met us promptly the next morning and happily gave us information about China's history on the drive to the Wall so we could fully understand what we were going to see, all the while pointing out landmarks as well. She took us up to the Wall, explained the different options and histories and then left us alone to wander at leisure for about 2 hours. We then met for lunch and drove back to the Summer Palace. Again at the Summer Palace Sherry was invaluable. She managed to take us on a route that avoided most of the coach tour groups whilst still taking us to the landmarks and telling us all about it. Having the driver was great because he was able to drive around to meet us at the other side of the palace so after we'd toured through we didn't have to try and walk all the way back through the crowds. Highly recommend!
