We had a fabulous day out with Jessica, who is so friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable! Excellent English, too. She made sure everything went smoothly, and we managed to avoid some of the crowds thanks to her experience. My husband and I also loved her presentation of Chinese history and culture with her tablet. And she took loads of photos of us — so kind. Highly recommend!

Angie is a wonderful tour guide. Highly recommend! Angie kept my family entertained all day with her perfect English, terrific China historical knowlege, and well thought out trip planning. Learned so much in one day! Incredibly luxurious private electric van, and professional driver. The tea ceremony at the foot of the Great Wall was a special experience.
The tour was excellent from start to finish. The guide was punctual, well-prepared, and the new car made the whole experience very comfortable.
The service was excellent, truly. Our driver, Bentley, was always very friendly and spoke excellent English. The car was comfortable and always waited for us as long as needed.
Booking the tour turned out to be a stroke of luck. We decided to book spontaneously, even though we had originally planned to explore the Great Wall on our own. We changed our plans due to problems with the in China common payment app and thus it wasn't certain that we could pay for the bus from the city centre to the Great Wall. Now, about the tour itself: We were picked up from the hotel right on time and greeted by an incredibly friendly tour guide named Angie, who proved to be really dedicated and knowledgeable. She did not only inform us about the sights as such, but also answered all our questions on Chinese culture and lifestyle. Although the tour was a bit more expensive than some others, it was worth every penny. We received personalized attention, didn't have to endure long queues – it's worth noting that all the tourist attractions are overrun with local tourists – and were able to decide for ourselves how we wanted to reach the wall -on foot, via cable car or chairlift - customizing the itinerary on the spot. We took the chairlift and went down on the toboggan which turned out to be real fun. Angie also took pictures from the best spots for and with us on her personal phone and then sent them to us. Before visiting the Summer Palace we again tailored the tour to our needs. Angie agreed to working longer that day adding another sight (the Temple of Heaven) to the programme for which we could spontaneously pay an extra amount to cover the additional costs (time, driver, guide, tickets). At the end we even received a present each - a pendant with an elephant - which will always remind me of the great day we had.
Guide Davis was very kind and normal English speaker. Had an amazing experience
Linda suggested us to leave early for the Great Wall. And it was the best decision to avoid crowds and see the Great Wall peacefully. The driver was very helpful and did his best to make the trip convenient for us. The car is nice and new. We had a great time. Thank you!
Excellent day with Davis at the Great Wall, before it was overcrowded, and at Summer palace on the way back. Thanks to Linda for the organisation and responsiveness
We had the pleasure of being assigned a tour guide Ms Angie to take care of us. She’s bilingual, passionate in sharing about her knowledge of the places that we have chosen. Very professional and attentive to our needs at all times It was a great experience. Will engage again when we come visiting Beijing.
We engaged Linda’s Guide and Driver service for our trip. We were assigned Ms Angie as our guide she’s very professional and cater to our requirements meticulously. Please with the engagement.

Super kind Driver - Davis! Made my trip comfortable despite of being sick!!! He took me to pharmacy , help ordering food, and did amazing job in driving comfortably. The trip itself is quite basic - no tour guide, but time is flexible and I felt accomodated
Our trip was flawless, our guide Linda was very helpfull and fluent in English. This is very plesant experience. 10/10 would repeat.
Really a nice tour with Linda given all the hassle free adventure in Great Wall & summer palace.We also seen the beauty of Olympic Stadium.Although our conversation with we chat due to not available of English speaking driver for Chinese happy new year but overall the communication was good enough to entertain the tour adventure
A visit to the great wall is a must. Trip was excellent. Linda suggested leaving earlier than planned which was an excellent idea, saved us hours of having to queue.
Very professional. Linda suggested leaving earlier than originally planned which was truly a life saver cause we skipped some massive queues. We were given plenty of time to explore.
The trip with our driver Fred was excellent: fantastic driver, extremly polite and caring. The service was great, I would definately recommend it to my friends and other visitors. Thank you very much!
Great tour! Nice car and they arrived on time and were helpful with info on the way. They even let us stop and get lunch on the way back and we all enjoyed a meal together. Would recommend!
Always wanted to see the great Wall of China and I Finally got the opportunity to see it. Breathtaking views and the trek along the wall is exciting. The summer palace and the lake surrounding it is very picturesque. I want to give a shout-out to our driver and guide Mr. Fred who is very friendly and informative about the history of the places we visited. The car provided by linda was very comfortable and luxurious. I would definitely recommend them for their great service.👍
Good patient driver with excellent driving. Flexible with time. Helpful ordering food & guiding us in etc. Didn’t tour the sites with us but we didn’t need that kind of tour guide.
Superb day Magnificent day with a visit to the Summer Palace first to wait for the morning fog to clear, and then on to the Great Wall, which is truly gigantic and in the sun. Léo, our driver/guide, was great and efficient. Careful driving and booking all tickets in advance, so zero lines... I highly recommend welink for this private day trip. Olivier
The service offered by Linda was perfect. The day with Yuehan went very well; he helped us avoid the long lines for the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. Talking with him during the trips was very pleasant and we had a very good day thanks to him. You can book his services without any worries.
Excellent day thanks to Linda’s perfect organization and Davis, the English speaking driver who accompanied us. Linda is very professional, responsive, has a keen sense of service. Excellent communication in English. I recommend it for your next trip to China.
First of all I thank Linda for validating my reservation for the next day, just 11am before our departure, thank you for her efficiency for finding us a driver for our day at the Great Wall Mutianyu and Summer Palace. Everything went very well with our personal driver, Joe for our day. Thank you for his punctuality, kindness and attentiveness throughout the day. Joe's conduct is calm and we feel safe with him. Change program, visit the Summer Palace first which is a good idea, because after we arrive at the Great Wall pile hair for lunch. Then Joe drops us off for lunch, then access to the Great Wall Mutianyu. All the ticket bookings are very well organized by Linda and Joe, just the Waiting time for the entrance to the sites, which we are lucky because not long at all. On the way back to the hotel, we talked to Joe at length in English and French, even though he has to use Google Translator. We paid Joe at the end of our day, whose rate was clearly set by Linda in advance the day before. (No surprises) I obviously rating our driver Joe and Linda with 5 ⭐️
Linda was very kind and helpful right away, she always responded quickly to all my questions and requests. The driver who then accompanied us to the wall, punctual and super helpful in helping us at the entrance with tickets etc. super recommended
A very serious and responsive person by messages for the organization of my day. The driver was punctual, courteous and spoke English well. Because of the holidays at this time and the traffic jams, they offered a departure at 6 a.m. instead of 8 a.m., a big thank you to them because I was able to arrive among the first people on the wall. Very good experience, I recommend 100%
