“This was the BEST thing I did! I had actually booked a tour through another company that was a disaster. I booked this tour less than 24 hours before it began and Cora Lin delivered beyond my wildest expectations. When booking I mentioned what we had not seen so Cora Lin tailored the day for us. We visited the Hutongs, Temple of Heaven and Bahi Park. The rickshaw ride at the Hutongs combined with a visit to a local family and seeing the unique glass bottle paintings were fun but then we also visited the Bell and Drum Tower. While at the drum tower we had the added bonus of…”

Kelly educated, narrated, and answered all of our questions during our ride to the Wall.

From the very beginning of the day until the very end, everything was perfectly organized and smooth. What truly made the tour unforgettable, however, was Cici herself. She was always smiling, incredibly friendly, and very attentive to every single person in the group.
