The tour was perfect because we arrived and left just before it became too crowded. Thanks to our guide tips, we had the best experience possibile to Great Wall and to the Summer Palace, with a super relaxing boat tour. Very recommended!!!”

“A bit of confusion about the meeting time. Our family had to wait for 1 extra hour because it was overbooked and the group was split in two. We doubled checked in the morning and still got to wait. Besides from this unfortunate issue, the tour was great and the guide was highly knowledgeable! Just hope in the future they set emails or WhatsApp messages to confirm. A family losing 1 hour during a trip can be quite unpleasant.”

“Very good tour. Our guide, Martina, was knowledgeable and had a great, dry sense of humor. She was also refreshingly honest, explaining her own critiques of celebrated works of art; and not in an overbearing way—just to give the group more to think about. Keep in mind that this tour is primarily centered on seeing Michelangelo’s David, and unlike many Italian galleries, there isn’t a long list of showstopper works here. David is phenomenal, of course, so you won’t be disappointed!”
