David was a great driver, very nice and friendly. Everything was very pleasant and easy: We met at the hotel lobby. At the Great Wall David helped us to buy the tickets and gave useful recommendations. He waited for us while we visited the wall. Next time we will definitely contact him again.

We engaged Nancy for a private tour prior to travelling to China. Nancy was fantastic to deal with, she went above and beyond what we initially engaged her for. For example she assisted us with our travelling plans when we had issues with our train.She organised and paid (in the interim) for ticket changes and helped us with language translations. Nancy was a fantastic tour guide, professional, incredibly helpful, sincere and honest. We do not hesitate to recommend her,
