Our trip was very last minute organised the late afternoon before. Catherine and Sonja were accomodating and very professional. Everything was very well organised. We hiked the Great Wall and toured the Summer Place. One of our most enjoyable travel experiences yet! Sonja our your guide was very personable and knowledgeable which made for a fun day!

Catherine was wonderful! Great communications in advance of our trip and so flexible and patient during the trip. She guided us (our family of 4 with 2 kids ages 10 and 8) to special parts of the wall and even became our own personal photographer and videographer! We loved the video she made for us to remember our day. She's full of energy, honest and very knowledgable. I highly recommend her!

This full-day private tour to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall did not disappoint. We appreciated the advance communications from Jenna and found the day to be very well organized. Our lovely guide, Jenny, was very accommodating and personable. Despite the snowy weather, the driver safely navigated the trip, and we explored and enjoyed all of the sites. Walking the Great Wall in the snow was mesmerizing and beautiful!
