This tour was priceless, worth every penny. Seeing the Great Wall and Summer Palace is a once in a lifetime experience for me and this made it so effortless. We chose the private tour, a driver and guide showed up at our hotel, on time, and handled everything. They picked us up at 6:30am and even a half hour later would have been too late because we definitely beat the crowd. Our guide Grace was so friendly, very efficient, and shared so much history throughout the day. The driver was quick but careful and the car was new and super high tech. Definitely recommend if you want a smooth experience but go as early as you can.

Fantastic experience with Demi Tours. Demi is an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable about the history of Beijing including the Great Wall. She was great to talk to and very informative, I highly recommend Demi Tours for any Beijing and vicinity experiences.
We had a very nice day in spite of inclement weather in the morning. The tour operator was flexible and let us start our tour a few hours later. We went to the Summer Palace first and even though it was raining we had a chance to see everything we came to see. You could even say the clouds provided nice lighting so the colors were more vivid. By the time we arrived at the Great Wall the rain was stopping and we were treated to specatcular views with patches of fog slipping through the valleys. Our tour guide, Nancy, was very friendly and spoke English very well. She was very well read on Chinese history and shared a lot of information with us. Spending the day with her was very comfortable like spending the day with a freind. Nothing was rushed we had a nice lunch together and took everything at a relaxing pace.
We had a wonderful day with the amazing Demi. This was such a great way for us to start our trip, she picked us up at the hotel and waited patiently while we finished breakfast. We had a fun time, starting first with the Summer Palace and then the Great Wall with Demi providing a plethora of information. We even had time for mini adventures like traditional Chinese tea tasting. Highly recommended.
What a wonderful tour! First we were promptly picked up by Mr Gao and our tour director for the day Demi 😀I think the knowledge of the history that was shared with us by the beautiful Demi added to the experience, she was fluent with English ,which was important to us, and she was able to answer everything asked to her. We were never rushed with visiting the wall and then the Summer Palace.We were given the option of restaurants and enjoyed a beautiful Chinese feast. At the end of the day we were then picked back up by Mr Gao and transferred back to our hotel... What an unforgettable tour ! Thankyou Demi,your amazing !,and i would not hesitate in recommending this company along with you to the next group of Australians wanting to see and hear the history of China's grand Wall and Palace.
We traveled with the lovely Demi in Beijing even before we arrived in China. Demi helped us plan our trip and gave us recommendations. We really enjoyed touring with her.
Demi made our visit to the Great Wall unforgettable! Her knowledge of its history and significance brought the experience to life, and her careful planning ensured a stress-free trip. She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the day special. Highly recommend Demi for an exceptional tour!
Demi was responsive fr9om the first time we interacted by mail. She provided accurate and detailed information and asswered all our questions with patience and kindness. The day tour with Demi was fantastic. She is panctuated, knowledgeable and very practical in taxis, tickets and other rarrangements. She took care of all our needs and requests and thanks to her we learned a lot about Beijing. She also helped us in getting taxies which was great help
Our day exploring Beijing couldn’t have been better! From the start, the communication was clear and detailed, ensuring we knew exactly what to expect. Our guide Demi and the team were incredibly organized, picking us up right on time from our hotel in a comfortable, spacious van that fit all nine of us perfectly. The tour kicked off at Tiananmen Square, where Demi set the stage with fascinating insights. Moving on to the Forbidden City, her knowledge and storytelling brought the history to life in a memorable way. Finally, we wrapped up at the Great Wall at Mutianyu, with Demi keeping everyone entertained and engaged the whole time. This tour was a fantastic way to experience three iconic sites in one day with zero hassle. Highly recommend for any group looking for a seamless and enjoyable adventure in Beijing!
We booked a tour with Demi to see the Forbidden City and the Template of Heaven in November 2024. She also booked us a private driver and arranged the tickets for the Great Wall. Demi was super helpful and kind. She helped us with many practical tips in our days in Beijing. The Forbidden City tour was a peak for us and Demi provided so many interesting insights and information. She was so patient and she is also a great photographer 😉. We really recommend booking a tour with her. Definitely our best experience in Beijing!
This is a very reliable tour company with excellent communication from the beginning. Our tour guide Linda, was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We first went to the incredible Great Wall which was a very clever move, as we beat the crowds. Tian’anmen Square and The Forbidden City were very busy, but a definite “must-see.” Highly recommended!
Family of 4 and tour highly recommended ! Our guide was extremly flexible, super patient with the kids and caring, attentive to our requirements and always in a good mood ! Demi has made this experience a success for the adults and for the kids. Lunch place has been chosen appropriately since we wanted an authentic local restaurant instead of a touristic place. We will keep very found memories of our day thanks to Demi !
Demi is a terrific guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. She speaks fluent English and was eager for us to understand the history and context of the places we visited. She brought us to beautiful sites and helped us beat the crowds, was creative and flexible when we wanted to change plans, prompt but also didn’t pressure us. She made every day enjoyable for a family of five with diverse preferences.
We had a great experience with Demi in Beijing, the Great Chinese wall, Summer Palace and more. Demi speaks a very fluent and rich English, has deep knowledge about History and places and it was really a pleasure traveling with her. She was listening to our needs and priorities and adapt herself, giving us the right 'space' some need during this type of trips.
Demi was our point of contact! She arranged and making sure communications flows until we landed at the airport! Then we had Alice as our tour guide and she was excellent! Alice has very good English, she has super good knowledge on the places that she brought us to and was very friendly and accomodative on our requests! She made the tour a lot more fun ! Highly recommended! ❤️❤️
We had an excellent time with her. Amazing knowledge of chinese history and good conversation about contemporary issues in China. Thanks so much!
We have been guided by Demi for the last two days. One day in Beijing's Forbidden City and Hutong district and today in the Mutianyu Great Wall and Summer Palace. Let me commence and mention how knowledgeable she is- not only relating to the main attractions but almost on anything related to China. She has many tips. Entering with her will also save you long waiting time at various attractions (special queue for tour guides). Her English is VERY VERY good and she definitely taught us lots of information about China, Chinese cultures and history and, of course, about the attractions. All the drivers she has worked with were prompt and helpful as well. We gladly recommend Demi for any tour in Beijing- especially if you want to gain the most of your visit and your time.
Excellent trip. Our guide Demi was very good, spoke excellent English. The wall was a great experience the Summer Palace, despite being busy was very beautiful and peaceful
Demi was amazing so much knowledge about China's history and excellent English It took us in two days to all the attractive places in Beijing including cheap, authentic restaurants warmly recommend
Great Wall Mutianyu which is very majestic with an extraordinary architecture can survive the test of time.
