Probably one of the best ways to see this incredible country! I quickly learned barely anyone speaks english unless theyre in a tourism driven job so a guide is extremely helpful! Every guide we had was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! They have you stop in tourist shops like jade factories and such which can annoy some but I really enjoyed because you knew you were getting quality. The restaurants were good except for the one offered at mutianyu great wall. The company was also very accurate on pickup times and making sure the group was comfortable but got a good amount of time at places like the great wall. Our last day my dad and I were the only ones on the trip that day so we had a private car and more of our own time to see things which was very nice!
Wow- my Three-Day tour of Beijing was awesome! My tourguide, Jenny completely blew me away. From the minute the tour started I was pleased. My guide was so warm and welcoming, she instantly became my friend. She was considerate and anticipated any needs or concerns that I had. I lucked out as well and had a private tour with a super nice black town car and private driver! I thought that touring in the middle of summer would be extremely crowded, but Jenny and our drivers literally drove us RIGHT to the Great Wall, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven with no problems. We didn't have to wait in any lines as the tour takes care of all the hassles of tickets and admission lines. We avoided most crowds and overheating. I couldn't speak higher of my experience and would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the top sites in style!
We had a fantastic tour . Jennifer ,our guide for the first 2 days was very professional ,had knowledge about the areas we visited and was always helpful .On the second day we even got a surprise free foot massage after the walk up the Great wall ! Jennifer made our visit very memorable !
This was just amazing...the people from the agency Marco Polo Tour were very helpful all the time and the tour went just smoothly. The guides rotate however, I had the chance to have Selina a couple of days. She have a good english, good knowledge and a outstanding spirit. I strongly recomend this people and tour if you ever go to beijing.
