Great option for very small group to see top two sites in 1 day - I'd highly recommend this for people with limited time in a small group who can move at a quicker pace. It's possible to see the main square, forbidden city and great wall all in one day.

Cinthia is the best! - We had the tour with Cinthia and she was always kind, with great attitude and always willing to answered all of our questions, the food that is included is amazing, best Chinese food ever! The van is very comfortable. We left a ring at the restaurant and Cinthia arranged everything so we can have it back. Definitely recommend it!

THE FINEST AMAZING KNOWLEDGEABLE TOUR GUIDE....... PERIOD!!!! - I just want to say I never write reviews but in this case I felt I had to. Sunny Picked me up from my hotel with her driver exactly on time as arranged. I had arranged a two day private tour to all the sites in Beijing and the Great wall. I was so impressed with her knowledge and her ability to answer all of my many questions. She went above and beyond to make sure my visit to Beijing would be memorable. it was easy to see Sunny really love what she does. She without a doubt made my trip I would have been totally lost with out her.

Sunny Fu is amazing and we highly RECOMMEND her !! - We spent two days with Sunny in and around Beijing and because of her historical knowledge, her personality and her enthusiasm we really had a fantastic tour. We had a very nice van and driver provided by her. Sunny was flexible and accommodating in her program ( on our request we even picked strawberries !!). It was for us the highlight of our 24 days Asian trip. Many, many thanks Sunny !

Sunny and our driver were very... - <p>Sunny and our driver were very prompt when picking us up from the hotel. They were extremely welcoming and negotiated the Beijing traffic very well!! Our day began at the Great Wall and lived up to our expectations with Sunny presenting us with very detailed information regarding the history and several facts regarding its construction and re-construction. The Forbidden City was quite amazing and again Sunny's knowledge is very in depth and detailed. The 'Tian Anmen Square was also a great addition with so much history and again Sunny's knowledge is amazing!! Sunny took us to a local restaurant for a most enjoyable dinner, then after a very fulfilling day, back to our hotel to contemplate an amazing day!!<br/>
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning and seeing some amazing highlights of Beijing and having a guide with the knowledge that Sunny has makes the total experience perfect!!<br/>
Both Sunny and the driver did absolutely everything they could to make our Beijing experience one to remember !!<br/>
Thank you so much!!</p>

Private tour toMutianyu Great Wall and Forbidden City - At the start of the tour we were rather apprehensive but our guide Sunny instantly put us at ease The limousine was really comfortable and the ride to the Great Wall was most enjoyable
The experience of finally climbing and walking along the Great Wall was most exhilarating.We had a very knowledgeable guide in Sunny who was very caring and helped me to negotiate some of the steps during the tour We are both in our 70s so it was good that we had a private guide with us The visit to Forbidden city was most interesting too We also enjoyed a most delicious Chinese lunch at a local restaurant
