Great china wall

Published on Mar, 2025

A very good time and a great experience... Keith was very nice and professional at the same time... good explanations in a good mood

What an amazing experience!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was an amazing experience for me. I was traveling to Beijing by myself for business and had a couple of days for some sightseeing. I had read all of the reviews about his tour and Keith (your guide) and thought is sounded perfect. Since it was off-peak season in Beijing, there were only 3 other guests in my small group -- and it was a great group of individuals. We first went to Summer Palace, and it was so beautiful with so much history. Keith did a great job giving us the perfect amount of detail and showed us all the important sites and took photos for us as well. Then, we drove by "the Nest" where the Olympics took place. Then, off to the Great Wall. Once we arrived at the entrance, we stopped for a quick lunch at a local Chinese restaurant. Keith had ordered food for us all to share. We then took a chair lift up to the top for access to the Great Wall. It was spectacular. We got to spend a little over 2 hours exploring on our own. That was plenty of time. It was very cold the day I was there, so make sure you plan for the weather. And wear comfortable shoes -- you will be going up and down many steps. Finally, there was the option to take the chair lift back down, or to ride the toboggan. I highly suggest the toboggan. It was a fun and unique experience for all ages with no skill necessary. As a tour guide, Keith was awesome. His English is very good too. I would highly recommend doing this as a small group tour vs. a larger group. There was a fun comradery among the small group of people in my group.

Easy going tour - fun

Published on Feb, 2025

This tour was very easy going, brilliant guide. Everything was planned out to the tee, with plenty of time to see all the main attractions. Thanks Keith!

I've heard many Great Wall tours operate like tourist traps. I picked this tour because of the good reviews and it did not disappoint. It wasn't a tourist trap and our guide, Keith, was super understanding and knowledgeable. He did a great job accommodating everyone in our group.

This is the way to see the essential Beijing sights.

Published on Jan, 2025

Keith was a good tour guide. He was kind of non-chalant and cool, and pretty well spoken all together. We discussed very boring economics in the vehicle en route to the sights. The destinations themselves are of course easy 5 stars and should never be missed when in China. Again, Keith was very easy to speak to and not so formal, making it just a bit like a tour with a friend. I tried many times to make him laugh, which was tough. He is a tough sell! But I got him at least once laughing. The car ride is a little bit long but that’s expected to see The Summer Palace and The Great Wall all in one single day. We left our printed photos from The Great Wall Photo Booth from the slide down and he carefully took photos of our photo (at my request as we had left town already) and was very helpful. Enjoy!
