Full Day Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square

Sisi was an amazing tourguide who knows a lot about Beijing. She helped us get the best experience, knowing when to go where for the best experience. The experience of Beijing haa been amazing and I would recommend everyone this tour.

We visited Beijing for our honeymoon and we had an amazing time on this tour! We saw all the highlights we wanted to see and there was even some room for personal requests. Sisi did an amazing job as our tour guide, and I would definitely recommend booking here (again)!

We had a wonderful two-day tour of Beijing with Micheal Dou and our driver, Cao. Micheal made the experience engaging, enjoyable, and memorable, and his knowledge of how to navigate the sights made a real difference. At the Great Wall, he helped us navigate the lines so we could spend more time enjoying the experience and less time waiting. In the Forbidden City, he showed us hidden spots we would never have found on our own, making the visit feel much more special than simply following the crowds. A big thank-you to Cao for getting us around comfortably and making the travel between stops feel effortless. Together, they helped us make the most of our two days in Beijing. We highly recommend Micheal and Cao to anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you both for a fantastic experience!

Lots of walking and amazing view especially when you go in group, I highly recommend get your shade and hats. I went in September and it was lots of sun it was the perfect weather

Great guide Randy and great driver Mr Li

Sisi is very knowledgeable and a great guide. She works hard to meet the needs of her clients and is courteous and punctual. I would recommend her and would be happy to have her as my guide in the future.

The tour was very well organized. Jessie is a great guide; she is very engaging, funny, and honest. I felt we had enough time at each location and I liked the variety of activities. The tea ceremony at the end was a nice way of wrapping the day up.

The tour was informative and covered a lot of must see places without feeling like everything was being rushed so we could get to the next place. Sisi was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and had great communication. We felt like part of her family by the end of the tour. We highly recommend!

This was our first trip to China. Sisi was outstanding and arranged everything AND MORE for our Beijing stay. She treated us like family and provided in-depth street knowledge of Beijing making the captial feel like second home to us. Sisi has continued to provide us with recommendations post-tour ensuring we get the most out of the last few days. Looking forward to returning to Beijing and seeing her again!

Touring Beijing with CiCi felt like being shown around by a local friend. She has a wonderful, warm personality and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. She answered all of our endless questions with a smile and even helped us capture some amazing photos along the way. Thank you, CiCi, for showing us the best of Beijing!

We had an amazing time in Beijing with Kevin as our tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting stories and insights that really brought the places we visited to life. Kevin also knew all the shortcuts and best ways to get into the tourist attractions, which saved us a lot of time. He even made getting on the train an absolute breeze and took all the hassle out of navigating around Beijing. We really appreciated his knowledge, local expertise and friendly manner. Thanks so much, Kevin, for helping make our Beijing experience so memorable. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Beijing!

Kevin was absolutely amazing. So much knowledge and insight to every site we went to with him. He is super enthusiastic and always making sure we understand. He is a lovely person and would definitely get him to guide us again!

Great experience - Sisi is knowledgeable and made our trip to Beijing fun and seamless.

Sisi was a great tour guide! She was knowledgeable, had a fun sense of humor, and was good at communicating logistics. Our family had a top-notch experience with her.

Excellent and easy experience in Beijing thanks to Sisi. She is extremely knowledgeable and fun to listen to. She has a superb sense of humor. Great communication and gave us clear instructions. Knew the best ways to maximize efficiency and minimizing queuing. Thoughtfully secured great seats for us at the acrobatic show. Made the experience seamless for a large English speaking group. Knew where all the bathrooms were at all times. Definitely recommend!

great experience touring Beijing as family of 8. Sisi was a great guide. made sure to find ways to minimize queuing time. very helpful all around. highly recommended.

We visited Beijing for one day and we needed a tour around the city. Company provided a driver and a tour guide alone with some water for the day. The tour went smoothly, the guide Queena had a lot of knowledge around the visited places. We recommend it

We had a good driver of a comfortable air-conditioned van large enough for the nine of us adults and an infant. It also had USB ports though not USB-C. The group brought us extra waters, which was nice. I would recommend the group also have some complimentary umbrellas handy in case of sudden rain, for waiting through the weather limited all we could see. We had a knowledgeable guide named Jim, who was conversant on everything from international affairs and ancient history to popular culture. He indefatigably told stories about any given place and welcomed questions. I thank Jim for keeping a great pace and filling our days with extensive information. He was also great at leading us down expedient roads! I wish we could have known in advance about the potential evening add-ons to our tour, such as the tea ceremony, acrobatics show, jade introduction, and Beijing Opera opportunity. These weren't mentioned in our originally agreed upon package, so we had to pay separately to partake in them or we had to replace already agreed upon activities to fit new opportunities. We had qlso made prior evening arrangements when we heard the tour would conclude nightly at 5:30 p.m., so we had to shift some activities to make the add-on work. It was a great acrobatics show, though, and my folks certainly enjoyed the tea and jade! Although we originally heard the tours would start daily at 8:30 a.m., we also had to adjust when we learned the night before they would actually pick us up from our hotel at 7:30 a.m. daily instead. Thankfully our guide helped us order breakfast from a nearby shop. The earlier departures also enabled us to see more each day. Some in our group also felt a simple drive-by of the Bird's Nest would have been sufficient instead of parking across the road, for it limited our opportunity to try the Summer Palace cruise, in exchange for a view group members felt wasn't as interesting. Nonetheless, we appreciated the guide for keeping things moving to ensure we saw as much as they could show us. Some in our group felt the guide having a microphone in the future may make it easier to ensure all group members can hear well. Overall, we received a thorough Beijing experience. We appreciated the flexibility of our guide to adjust the schedule according to our elder's and infant's needs. Although three days couldn't possibly include everything, the company did its best by offering a taste of many things! The guide kept us on schedule to see highlights in short times and included recommendations for all the rest. And he was a lot of fun! Hats off to Jim, and thank you again to our driver.

Our tour guide, Alice, was outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the trip. Our driver, Liu, was highly skilled at navigation and was always there on time at every pickup point. The food was clean, delicious, and plentiful. They also provided unlimited cold water and soft drinks, which was greatly appreciated. We were even taken to a local antique wholesale market, which added a unique and interesting touch to the tour. Highly recommended!

Our guide John Yue and driver Mr. Jin were fantastic! They took such good care of us - excellent descriptive explanations of all the sites, always on time for pickup, providing extra touches like water and umbrellas, and finding us the street foods we wanted to try. Five star service!! The hutong family visit was unique and the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is unforgettable. Highly recommended!

We would highly recommend this Beijing tour as a taster of the highlights of Beijing. Our guide was John Yue and our driver was Chong. Chong was always available and we felt safe even in the chaos that is the Beijing traffic!! John was very knowledgeable on all the aspects of the locations we visited. John paced the tour components very well and ensured we saw the areas we were most interested in. John answered questions comprehensively and his english and accent was very good. Would definitely ask for John again.

Enjoyed the tour and was happy to go at my own pace. Also thought the car was very comfortable for the trip. Great way to spend my first day in Beijing!

This is the perfect tour for english speaking visitors. Everything around the Forbidden City and the Square are included, even the smaller galleries and a walk to the viewing spot in the park. Randy is a very professional and fun guide (with excellent English skills), who knows a lot and can pace the tour depending on the guests, which is a talent. So highly recommendable and great experience.

We had an incredible experience with our tour guide, Kurt. From the moment he picked us up, everything was seamless and well organized. His communication was excellent throughout the entire trip, always keeping us informed and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. What really stood out was his knowledge and passion. Kurt taught us so much about the history, culture, and local traditions, making every stop more meaningful and memorable. He also provided fantastic recommendations for food, activities, and places to visit that we never would have found on our own. Kurt went above and beyond to make our experience special, and his friendly, professional attitude made traveling completely stress-free. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you’re considering booking a tour with Kurt, do it you won’t regret it. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

First time in China with my husband and friends. How fortunate we were to have Kurt Luo as our guide. Incredibly well organised, punctual, excellent English, very friendly and a great sense of humour. Kurt was very aware of timing and made significant effort where feasible to visit some of the attractions when it was less busy. For those a little apprehensive,like me, Kurt's knowledge and care helped make this an amazing experience. I can't recommend him more highly. .

We had the most amazing time with our guide Skye Wu and driver Mr. Hu! What an incredible trip all around. They were the most wonderful team, always friendly, always gracious, always knowledgeable about where we were visiting, the best way to get there, and anything we may need at any stage of the trip. They always found a way to get us to the sites early so that we didn’t need to wait in line. We shared many laughs and were sad to say goodbye. We recommend both Skye and Mr. Hu very very highly!

Great tour to the Great Wall of China, Forbidden City and Tiananmem Square with our tour guide Rocky. He was so helpful, kind, accommodating and Knowledgeable. We were so lucky to have him.

This was an 11 day tour with my family of 10, John was our tour guide in Beijing and Xx our driver. The tour was excellent and John really knew his stuff and looked after us in every respect. I would highly recommend booking a tour to see and learn so much more

very satisfied with the service provided and your guide John and driver Lio are very well mannered and excellent. Thank you.

Our day trip was hosted by Zhang Lili with great expertise and hospitality! We visited amongst others things the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. Highly recommend!

An amazing 2 day trip by John our tour guide. So knowledgeable and really made the experience smooth and easy for my family of 6 adults. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience! Our tour guide, Willow, was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. She taught us so much about the history of every spot we visited, including the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace, and made the whole tour very fun! She knew the best photo spots and funny fun facts everywhere we went. When it was time to move on to the next stage of our trip, she went above and beyond and helped us get to our train and even waited with us to make sure everything went smoothly!

Booked via Travel China Guide which was easy from start to finish. Sammi was our first tour guide in Beijing. She was beyond the expectations of what we ever thought a tour guide would be. She integrated well into our family dynamic. Sammi was knowledgeable and fun and if/when we come back to China we would love to have her as our guide again. The whole family would recommend Sammi as a tour guide. She was amazing. The arranged excursions were brilliant.

We travelled with our guide Li in Beijing as part of a private tour. Our trip was well organised and went smoothly. Li and our driver were very considerate of our needs and very helpful and professional. We travelled as a family with 2 young children.

The Great Wall is on everyone's travel lists for sure, and Rocky ensured it was an amazing one. He took a lot of photos of us from different angles so it was in our memories forever! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable guide to see China.

Our tour was private guided with a separate driver and we had just two people in our group. Our guide, Mr. YUE, Eeng, spoke very good English and was very knowledgeable about every site we visited. He was also very considerate and willing to be flexible to meet our specific needs. He was also knowledgeable enough to be able to answer random questions about trees, flowers and the name of every interesting building or monument we passed. He also made excellent recommendations for optional activities like an acrobatic show and a boat ride near the Summer Palace. Our driver, Mr ZHANG, was also very nice. His car was clean and comfortable and had convenient rear seat USB A and C charging ports and common adapter cables] They had individual water bottles for us every day. If you want a private guided tour, this one booked through TravelChinaGuide, is excellent. Steve Hall, USA.

Kurt was amazing and very flexible with my older family members. The trip went very smoothly.

Kurt came on time to pick us up @ the hotel, gave good explanation in fluent English, took time to tell stories, flexible time to give tour around Beijing

Mr Kurt is very exellent guide , he is very help full, proffesional and caring with us . Again thank you Kurt n will see you next trip to Beijing Jonas n fam

Kurt was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was accommodating to our needs and was able to tailor the itinerary for our schedule. He was patient with our elder with wheelchair needs

Thanks for the great tour, Rocky!

Randy is an expert and provides a lot of information about the tour for us to make us feel better and have knowledgeable with the china history. Driver zhong is a professional and pay attention to our safety a lot. Would recommend this team to any travelers to China.

John was a fantastic tour guide! very knowledgeable and patient with our questions, nothing too much bother and we were very well looked after. Mr Xu was a great driver and helped with all the luggage. Highly recommend!

John and Xu were absolutely fantastic, really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning tour, such a great exposure to many once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Our tour guide John was very helpful and very knowledgable of the landmarks we visited. He gave us good time to explore said landmarks while also guiding us along at a great pace. Our driver Xu was also very reliable and provided very efficient journeys for us. Overall, a very high quality tour that I would highly recommend 👍

Traveled with three families (teenage kids) on this multi-day tour of Beijing. Kurt Luo was our guide -- clear communication and having an experienced guide was essential for navigating crowds and entrances to city attractions. We went to Jinshanling part of the Great Wall which was nicely restored and quiet. Kurt took us to a local farmhouse for lunch after the Great Wall hike and the dishes were delicious. Be sure to try the local tofu. On the other days we went to the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, and Lama Temple. We did short stops for the Peking University, Bird's Nest, and the Water Cube. Kurt took us to Manjie Dumplings for lunch and I would highly recommend the eggplant dish. Overall, a balanced itinerary and we had free time in the evenings. Thank you, Kurt, for a memorable intro to Beijing!

Amazing trip with Kurt as the guide. Arrangements for the site visits to lunch recommendations to timeliness of the pickups. He able to share the history of the sites with funny anecdotes. Would highly recommend Kurt.

We travelled with friends and family to China, and for our Beijing portion of the trip Kurt Luo from Marco Polo Tours was our guide. We had a great time! Kurt recommended local favourite restaurants that was different from what the tour company had originally planned for us and it did not disappoint. He also helped us order which was a great help since we didn’t speak mandarin. Thank you Kurt for an amazing time!

Having Kurt efficiently guide our large group through the Forbidden City, gorgeous Jinshanlin Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Summer palace, delicious private meals and rickshaw rides through Hutong alleys, made our vacation relaxing and gave us time to connect with our family and friends along the way!
