“A really useful and quick visit. A good introduction to the subject in Beijing. Our guide, Michael Shi, was both adorable, very educational, and helpful. He represents the people of this great nation very well, and by spending time with him, one already begins to love this country and its people. An effective and pleasant ambassador! The different parts of the tour were all wonderful! Truly!”

“Die Nachttour war wirklich außergewöhnlich. Es war überhaupt nicht voll, man hat die Mauer aber bei Sonnenuntergang und mit voller Beleuchtung erlebt. Die Tour endete mit einigen traditionellen Shows, die sehr spaßig waren. Unser Guide Betty war sehr nett und zuvorkommend ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Sie hat uns geführt, obwohl nichtmal ein Guide gebucht war. Alle in allem würde ich die Tour wirklich weiterempfehlen, weil man fernab der Touristenmassen eine sehr schöne illuminierte Top Sehenswürdigkeit bekommt mit sehr viel Charme und einer sehr zuvorkommenden ReiseleitungRead more”
