 An exhilarating experience that broadens the mind by its many picturesque views. Measly pictures do not live up to the beauty and wonder of what you see with your own eyes. The great wall and the summer palace are both places you'd want to see before you die.
Of course a great factor of enjoyment in a foreign land would be the assistance of a tour guide to describe to us the history of these spots and give us a review on its present conditions. Due to the aid of one very capable tour guide, we had very much enjoyed our stay in Beijing, eating at the best places and learning a history we had somewhat learned but forgotten from our high school textbooks.
All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. Coupled with scenic spots and an amiable tour guide, our trip was filled with laughter and wonder; two of the things that make a real trip remembered.

 This is a very nice trip! Specially to our tour guide Tony! \"Go to the East, Go to the West, Tony truly is the Best!!\" I will definitely recommend this trip to my friends and families. Tony (From Xian) is a kind of a typical chinese we expected (dedicated to his job, cares for his guests, and funny person). This is what i call value for your money! Tony is very good tour guide, he made our trip very memorable... All i can say is that i\'m very lucky to have search for your website for our trip! Thank you...
I will definitely come back and recommend this website to my other friends and of course recommend Tony as their tour guide...

 This was a very memorable trip. The shuttle arrived exactly on time at the hotel. Everything was well coordinated. Our tour guide (Jenny) was excellent, and talked about many interesting facts related to the historical sights. She was also very considerate in accommodating our dietary requirements. Only thing negative I found was food quantity :(. Otherwise it was great experience. The vehicle quality was good, guide had good command on English and with friendly behavior. Also both the sites (Great Wall and Summer Palace are worth visiting especially for nature lovers).

The great wall and summer palace are quite far from Beijing with many toll stations along the way, so this is an excellent value. I would definitely recommend this trip and our guide.

 Everything worked out great, I was called the night before as planned and was colected at 8.30am.
Although I had booked a group tour I had a private car and guide. They were excellent.
We had to visit a pearl factory which was OK but I guess that is part of the deal.
I also visited a tea ceremony where the girl was very pleasant.
The Great Wall and the Summer Palace are both awesome, be ready for quite a climb at the wall.

 It was okay, We visit the places in the chinese national holiday, so there were many many people.....so please never visit this great places under the chinese holidays ;O) the guide spoke very good english and had a great knowledge. but because there were so many people the traffic was bad and it took long time to come to the great wall, and it was terrible crowded every where.
If there not have been so many people I am sure it would have been a good trip, but because of the many people it only was OK!

very well organised tour. we went to our hotel room after dinner @ 9.30pm but tour guide Ms May called to say that she would come to pick us up at 7.10 am next morning & she was bang on time in a Honda 12 seater ac mini bus but we were only 6 after others were picked from different hotels. the guide May was well dressed. well mannered, spoke perfect english, knew her job very well. the so called included typical chinese lunch was very good but hardly chinese as there were shrimps, chicken, beef etc etc & perfect for all international tourist. we are frequent travellers visited usa/europe /scandinavia etc many times but this tour was as well organised as our Thomas Cook tour. each guest is dropped back to hotel @6pm there was no hank/panky. when abroad one should only select such reputed tour agency.

Very nice trip, but the visit to the Great Wall should be first and then the Summer Palace. The temperature after lunch was unbearable, abour 38°C, we couldn\'t stand being at the Great Wall more than 30 minutes it was too hot. We should have gone there in the morning, the Summer Palace at least has more trees and shadow.
Lunch was excellent, but we had a bit too much time at the jewerly place.
Our guide (Daisy) was very nice, but I think she should have told us more information about the places while we were driving to get there.

This was a good tour and value for money. The Chinese lunch was especially very nice. Our tour guide, her name was Haha, was also very efficient and punctual. The car was clean and everything was very well organised.

This tour was great. Good value for the money. I ended up going alone, but my tour guide, Eva, was wonderful. She took me out to another pass of the Great Wall, because Badaling was clouded over (winter weather was moving in). No extra charge. She gave me a little more than an hour and a half to get to the top of the wall, and was very knowledgeable about the site.
Eva walked with me on my tour of Summer Palace, and explained every part of it to me as we walked, helping me with pictures and so on.
Eva's English is very good, and she could understand my level of Chinese (somewhat basic).
We went to the cloissonne outlet, jade outlet and Dr. Tea, which was a lot of fun. All of these really had great deals, specials, and so on. Dr. Tea was a very informative lesson in learning about Chinese teas, and I did buy the tea cups that change colors from a dragon to the Great Wall or something else. Really a fun trip. Love to do it again.
I did tip the driver 50 rmb, and went to tip Eva 100 rmb which she initially refused, but took at my insistance. Why not? They deserve a little extra for the service they gave me. No regrets, and I would love to use ChinaTour.net again, and recommend it to anybody looking to see places in China.

This was the third tour package we booked. Everything worked out great - we were picked up at at 8.10am.
Although we booked the budget group tour package, we had a private car and guide instead! The local guide, Jenny, was very helpful and pleasant. She spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable in explaining to us the history of China. After visiting the Summer Palace which was very lovely, we were brought to the jade factory. We were surprised to be served sumptuous lunch at the posh restaurant in the jade outlet.
Although there was a tea ceremony as part of the package, we skipped that as we told her we had visited it the other day. She was nice to bring us to the silk factory instead and we were pleased to see how silk was made!
Overall, good value for money and I would truly recommend this to anyone who has not been to the Great Wall and the Summer Palace - both are awesome, be ready for quite a climb at the wall.
