A very special way to see the Spectacular Great Wall of China and the wonderful City of Beijing. We travelled from the UK with two friends for the Trip of a lifetime visiting China and Japan. Our biggest fear visiting Beijing was that we might actually miss something extraordinary, our Private guide Majorie made sure that we didn't. She took us to the fantastic main attractions and made sure that in the bit of free time we had she fit in the not so touristy places. In Beijing we ate in a quiet restaurant that was off the beaten track, and I have to say if I ever eat Prawns as good again I would be surprised. Thank you Majorie for making our visit truly the most memorable trip we have ever had.

It was a dream of mine to visit the Great Wall of China, so I went to the Huangyaguan Great Wall with Alison my private tour guide. Alison was an excellent private tour guide, she is personable, outgoing, and very knowledgeable about the history of the Wall as well as her country. Alison was able to communicate all this informations in a clear and concise English.

Anson was our tour guide. He spoke great English and had tons of knowledge about the neighborhoods we were walking in, which was also the location of our hotel. He gave us a variety of food choices, all delicious, but did give us the option to be more adventurous. We opted out of eating anything too exotic. We were so impressed with Anson, we signed up for a tour at the Forbidden City and requested him. He is extremely knowledgable about the history in China and tells it in a way that keeps things interesting.

I contacted Terry out-of-the-blue, from Australia, to act as a buyer’s agent and he was excellent even though my request was outside the scope of his operations! I made an initial purchase when visiting Beijing last June with repeat orders made on-line. The subsequent on-line orders transacted without incident until the supplier suffered a recent Cyber Attack! The hacker imitated emails from the supplier regarding a change in banking arrangements making it impossible for me to differentiate between the two. Terry contacted the supplier directly on my behalf and provided the necessary verification. Well done Terry and I look forward to meeting you when next in Beijing.

This tour was amazing! I wish I could remember my driver's name, because he was wonderful. It was absolutely freezing outside,.and thankfully our driver had jackets for us. Additionally, he gave up bananas and oranges to snack on, as well as bottled water. He walked us through so that we knew exactly where to go, and even had us pose as a group and took pictures for us! By request, we were picked up at our hotel, and then dropped off at the airport to make our flight. With limited time, we were able to see the Great Wall of China, grab some food, and catch our flight. I highly recommend this tour!
