Your Partner in Authentic Global Learning
We understand that top educational institutions now emphasize a more global curriculum, and students crave an authentic understanding of the world we live in today. Stretch-A-Leg provides its guests with that coveted global perspective.
Private Cultural and Historical Custodians
Stretch-A-Leg Travel specializes in highly personalized walking tours of Beijing and the Great Wall. Our guides go far beyond simple fact repeaters; they are teachers, translators, navigators, historians, and ambassadors. They specialize on shining light on the city’s cultural and historical idiosyncrasies. We pride ourselves on providing guests with a unique window into the heart of Beijing's history and culture.
Responsive and Adaptive to Your Specific Needs
Stretch-A-Leg’s primary asset is our versatility and flexibility. Our guides are extremely accustomed to adapting to guests’ needs over the course of the day as weather changes, clients tire, or want to alter their plans. Similarly, our dedicated office team can set up a detailed itinerary for trips ranging from just a half-day at the Wall, to a full week trip, including hotel bookings, plane tickets, and transportation.
Getting the Most of Beijing
Due to its size, congestion, and a complex language barrier, Beijing can be a grueling city to effectively explore and understand without a guide, especially when dealing with large groups. Our guides bring a scholarly approach to uncovering the nuances of Beijing’s history and culture. Of course, our guides are also fluent English speakers who communicate clearly and authoritatively.
