About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- F7254WNmanuc0 contributionsGreat Tour Ruined by Shady Tea Ceremony ScamGood things first: the tour itself was fantastic, exactly as described. A special shoutout to our driver, Keith—he was not only incredibly reliable but also very informative and kind throughout the trip. Now for the worst part: at the end of the tour, we were taken to a tea ceremony, which was presented as a complimentary experience and free of charge. The tea lady was fluent in English and undeniably skilled at salesmanship, which, as I learned later, was not in our best interest. To my shock, I discovered the next day that I was charged over $800 for three boxes of tea. At the time, the pricing was not made clear, and being unfamiliar with the local currency, I didn’t realize the exorbitant cost until I reviewed my credit card statement. If this was not a mistake, it’s outright fraudulent to take advantage of tourists in this manner. Given that the Addiction Travel Agency arranged for this stop at the tea house, I must say that this experience reflects poorly on the agency for partnering with such unethical businesses. I hope they investigate this immediately and reconsider sending unsuspecting customers into what seems like a well-disguised tourist trap. Without action, this incident taints what could have been a wonderful experience.Written 10 January 2025
- hoodcnicholas0 contributionsThis is the way to see the essential Beijing sights.Keith was a good tour guide. He was kind of non-chalant and cool, and pretty well spoken all together. We discussed very boring economics in the vehicle en route to the sights. The destinations themselves are of course easy 5 stars and should never be missed when in China. Again, Keith was very easy to speak to and not so formal, making it just a bit like a tour with a friend. I tried many times to make him laugh, which was tough. He is a tough sell! But I got him at least once laughing. The car ride is a little bit long but that’s expected to see The Summer Palace and The Great Wall all in one single day. We left our printed photos from The Great Wall Photo Booth from the slide down and he carefully took photos of our photo (at my request as we had left town already) and was very helpful. Enjoy!Written 8 January 2025
- jessicawB5765HC0 contributionsAn absolutely amazing day.An absolutely amazing day. Our awesome tour guide Keith took us around and shared great information and good jokes. The day was perfect, especially seeing the wall and having a yummy lunch. Highly recommend. Thank you Keith for a great day!Written 24 December 2024

- emmettk490 contributionsFor the price, we were expecting more.We were hoping to spend more time at the forbidden city to see the Gallery of Clocks but didn't spend enough time there. The guide was OK, but could have spent more time describing things, and giving historical context. The bus was ok,but a bit uncomfortable.Written 17 October 2024

- weiteng03250 contributionsFriendly Tour GuideWe booked this event by Agoda and met our tour guide (Mr Zhao Lei). He was friendly and very considerate towards our elderly parents. He was willing to slow down his pace and waited for us. During the whole tour, he explained thoroughly, and we had a real fruitful experience during the tour. He even gave us suggestions when purchasing the souvenirs. We highly recommended this tour guide.Written 6 September 2024

Would highly recommend everyone uses her services!Written 3 September 2024
- martinaoI5634XF0 contributionsVery nice tour!We only stayed two days in Beijing, so we took the tour to visit the highlights! We really enjoyed it, in only 2 days we could visit the main attractions, with an English guide, transport and lunch. In both days the lunch was incredible. The guides, Bruce and Keith, were very nice. For the great wall, we took a cable car to arrive on top, from there we had time to walk all the way up and take pictures.Written 19 August 2024
