Biz AAmazing Small Group Tour with Helen!We joined the small group tour to Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and Mutianyu Great Wall, and it was truly one of the best experiences of our Beijing trip!
Our guide Helen was amazing, she is very nice, friendly, and patient, and she always made sure everyone in the group was comfortable. She shared many interesting stories and historical details, which made each place come alive. Her explanations were clear and engaging, and she also helped us take many beautiful photos!

The tour was well-organized, timing was perfect, and the Great Wall section at Mutianyu was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed every moment of this trip.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Beijing, thank you Helen for such a memorable day! Less

Judee TBest tour to know Beijing's musts with the best guide!Helen is simply the gold standard of tour guides in Beijing. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.

She and her colleague driver arrived at our hotel exactly on time on a freezing Beijing morning.
She had already purchased all entrance tickets in advance (Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and Mutianyu Great Wall), which saved us hours of queuing in the cold. Her knowledge is incredibly yet never overwhelming, as she shared historical details, insider photography spots, the best routes to take, and even gave us options for how we wanted our Great Wall climb to be.
The vehicle was spotless with plenty of legroom, comfortable seats, and great heating when it was –°C outside. Bottled water and a lively snack were provided throughout the day.
Zero forced shopping stops, and for lunch near the Great Wall, she simply shared several excellent options, then let us choose exactly what we wanted.
We left Beijing feeling we had not only seen the must-see sights, but truly understood and appreciated them, thanks to Helen's passion and expertise.
Highly, HIGHLY recommended! Less

Stopped at multiple pits, then went to a great lunch. After lunch we saw the Goose Pagoda, absolutely great gardens and peaceful. We then went to the city wall for great views. Finally we ended at the Muslim Quarter. This was a long day but we'll worth it and I had a wonderful time with Lily and the group! Would do again. Less

vickyed888GORGEOUS GUILINMy wife and I recently undertook a trip to China which saw us visit the cities of Guangzhou, Guilin, Chongqing, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Every city in China has its unique attractions and, no doubt, the feature which made Guilin stand out was its limestone hills/ mountains. It is easy to see why people rate Guilin as the most beautiful place in China. Of course, the 4 hour cruise down the Li River is a must and an experience not to be missed or forgotten.

Another outstanding "feature" of our time in Guilin was our tour guide, Oscar Lu. He was not only knowledgeable about the place but he also made his narratives so interesting. Above all, he was always sensitive and attentive to our needs and always looked at things from our perspective. When it was time for our train trip to Chongqing, he gave us a map of the station in Chongqing so that we would know exactly where to go when we got there. He even gave us the name and contact number of the person who was meeting us. Having missed our guide at another station, we greatly appreciated this thoughtful gesture on Oscar's part. Once again, A HUGE THANK YOU, OSCAR!

Our guide, Monica, spoke excellent English and was very proactive in explaining the history and culture of Guilin to us. The tour company also catered well to our dietary requirements, which I appreciated. They also organised good quality hotels and a driver for us. The Li river cruise was also of high quality, and the scenery was beautiful. No negative experiences.

Teresa mooreChengdu - Pandas and ParksWe did this day trip through an organised 10 day tour of China. Julie and our driver were punctual and polite. Julie was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a fabulous time with the Pandas and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the day visiting the historical sites. Julie gave us a small gift of a fan which we decorated with calligraphy and pictures whilst we had traditional tea in peoples park. A really lovely day Julie thank you.

She also took us to a brilliant coffee place and helped us with organising lunch. She had a lovely sense of humour and was a delightful guide.
