“Lilly our tour was exceptional, we couldn’t recommend her enough. She brought us to all the sites, without her knowledge we really would not have been able to see so much. Thank you so so much!”
Two private days in Beijing cover Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Mutianyu Great Wall, and hutongs with lunch included.
“We had the most spectacular trip and tour for 2 days with Linda Shi. She has a great personality and definitely had the depth of knowledge to lead us all around Beijing and visit the “must sees.” She answered questions with ease, pointing out unique and memorable things to really make sure we got the most out of the tour. She also took us to great lunch places, away from the throngs of tourists. The driver we had was great, a good driver, with a luxurious, clean car. What a great way to spend 2 days learning about and seeing Beijing. I highly recommend Linda and this tour company if…”

See Shanghai lit up on a VIP Huangpu River cruise, with hotel pickup and an optional Shanghai Tower visit and local dinner.
“The tour guide and driver were very nice. There are crowds for the river cruise so it was nice to be seated in VIP. While the tour guide seemed knowledgeable, the local meal was not enjoyable (a lot of food wasted) and she seemed very tired.”
Beijing evening tour pairing Peking duck with a thrilling acrobatics show, VIP seating, hotel transport, and practical tips on value and dining.
“We have only put this tour as only 4 recommended. The Acrobatic show was superb and for an hour or so you are 'mesmerized' with what feats the boys and girls provide as part of the show. However the Peking Duck Banquet is not a 'banquet' and no where close to it. The tour and organizing companies really need to serious review this part of the tour. The DaDong Peking Duck chain of restaurants do really know how to serve you up a 'Peking Duck Banquet' to remember. Their chosen restaurant was clearly a well establish venue for similar tours, catering of up 140 dinners with at least 10 x…”
Review the 4-hour Li River cruise from Guilin, with karst peaks, village scenery, buffet lunch, hotel pickup, and practical booking advice.
“Loved it but would have preferred a Chinese/ English speaking guide to have information as we cruise. With the qr code it was a bit difficult to follow. Eventually is quite expensive for just a car ride to the pier and the cruise. With an English speaking crew that explain ms the scenery and the traditions of the areas we see it could have been more value for money.”
Review of the private Mutianyu Great Wall tour with VIP shuttle access, Beijing hotel pickup, English guide, hiking, and optional cable car.

Review of Beijing’s private Badaling transfer, with VIP entry access, hotel pickup, flexible timing, guide options, costs, and practical tips.
“Our trip couldn’t have been easier - we were picked up right on time by our driver Sun who was very helpful and friendly. He drove us to the wall, helped us purchase our tickets and gave us some great advice! We couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you very much.”
See Shanghai’s glowing skyline from a VIP Huangpu River cruise, with private hotel transfers, an expert guide, and an optional local dinner.
“We did the cruise with two families and it was fantastic. The dinner was at a restaurant and not the boat but it wasn’t a problem as it allowed us to eat before cruise. The restaurant was really good and probably some of the best food we had in Shanghai. Afterwards the company organised VIP tickets on the boat and we got really great views of all the buildings. Our host was Sammy and she was very good company, informative and friendly and looked after us really well. Lastly the whole process of booking and communication was really good , the company were very easy to deal with and even…”
