Click for More DetailsWe booked the tour in Australia on the net, and we had prompt email confirmations. Tony also "spoke" to me online to discuss aspects of the tour. We received a call the previous night from Eric our guide, and he picked us up promptly the next morning (7:50am). We had a full day, and had more than enough time at the Great Wall and Ming Tombs. Eric was interesting and an excellent guide. We visited the Jade Factory (had a lovely lunch there) and the Silk factory (bought a quilt!). the time in the shopping components were fine. We travelled with two young children (7 year olds) and the guide accommodated them well. Would highly recommend the tour and Chinatour.net.

Click for More DetailsThe tour was great and we had a fantastic day. We were collected from our hotel at about 7.30 am and returned there at about 7.30 pm! We visited not only the wall (where we had plenty of time to walk the whole section) we also visited the Ming Tombs and several shopping outlets. Our guide was very informative, funny and responsive to our needs and requests, with an excellent balance between sightseeing and shopping. It was a definite highlight of our trip and we thoroughly recommend it to anyone who would like a great day at excellent value! Just do it!!

Click for More DetailsWe had an absolutely fantastic day. We were collected from our hotel, on a 12 seater bus, visited not only the Wall and the Ming Tombs but also some great shopping outlets on the way. There was a very good balance of time spent at the sights and at the shops - we elected to visit one more shop on the way home and our day lasted 12 hours! It was great value. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and attentive to our needs. We recommend this tour to all - it was fantastic value for money.

The tour was great. We were collected from our hotel and we visited the Badaling Great Wall section and the Ming Tombs. Time was sufficient to see the Great wall but felt a little rushed going through the Ming Tombs. As expected, we were also taken to several shops. All the shops are overpriced but you don\'t have to buy anything. Our included chinese style lunch was not good as i expected. All 5 people at our table left hungry. We also heard a lady complaining at the next table. For the most part, our guide was very nice and spoke English well. The Great Wall was a definite highlight of our trip. This tour is definitely worth it if you are on a budget but if you are not, do the more expensive one with less stops. You get what you pay for. *Side note: Many people may not be aware of this, but tipping is recommended for tour guides even though the rest of China may not practice this. It is appropriate to give the tour guide & driver 1-10 US dollars per day per person if you find them satisfactory. It was nice that our tour guide did not ask or demand tip but most people did not know so the only group that tipped was us.
