This was our (a group of two couples) first experience with Elysian Tour. It has nothing bad but excellence. We stayed in Beijing for three days, while each day was well worth the money and time. I had dreamed of visiting Great Wall long before, and to see and hike on it in person were much more inspiring. The best of all was the rickshaw ride and the Peking Opera mask painting class in a hutong tour. So Impressive! We had Ivy, a native Beijnger, as our guide. She has rich knowledge reserve to explain all the sights we visited and all the cultural stuff we wanted to know further. With nice personalities, she was always easy to be with and smart to keep us free from waiting in long lines. All in all, it was a great start to my China adventure, and personally I would definitely use this tour company again to explore more destinations of the country.
