Click for More DetailsIt 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!

Tour guide and driver took us in a private sedan car to the Summer Palace, Great Wall, lunch and several factories/shops. We enjoyed the private tour (despite the cold weather!!) and our tour guide Samantha was great. It was nice having the private tour so that we could have a little more say in how much time we spent at the Great Wall and such. Probably could have done without the factories, but was overall quite satisfied.

One day coach tour of the Great Wall ans Summer palace was definely good value for the money. The tour guide spoke English well and was very knowledgeable about Chinese history. My only real complaint was the allocation of time. We spent, in my opinion, a little too long on the Wall, and then after having to spend time visiting Jade and Pearl factories we had only an hour to walk quickly through the grounds of the Summer Palace. We needed much longer. Again, good value, nice lunch and an educating experience, but two factory tours was a bit much.

We were picked up at 7:00am and were disappointed to find a shuttle bus that could seat around 12+ people. At the time when I booked the tour, the website read 6 people max. (One of the reasons I made the booking.) I asked our tour guide, Mr. Sherman, how many people were on the tour and he said 10. I explained,\"the website read a max of 6 people.\" He said, \"yes, that\'s old information.\" I\'m a little irritated, but try and let it go. We pick up the rest of the tour group and we\'re on our way to the Great Wall. Well, at least that\'s what we all thought. There is a detour to a Jade Market. Ok, onward to the Great Wall. It was amazing! After about 1.5 hours exploring (plenty of time) we are off to lunch. Lunch was pretty tasty. Mr. Sherman was very accommodating in what foods to order for the table. I\'m not a meat eater, and he ordered fish which was very nice. Service at the restaurant was below par for China though. We were given one small bowl of rice for 10 of us and when we asked for more, they took the bowl and never returned it. They also snatched away the tea kettle midway through the lunch. (Note: tea is the only offered beverage that is included in the price of the tour. Soda, beer, juice, etc. are extra.) Since our trip back into Beijing City Centre took place at rush-hour, so it took about double the time to get back to our hotels. We are next to last being dropped at our hotel at 19:00! dropped off an hour and a half later than expected. Although Mr. Sherman and I had a rocky start, overall, he was a great tour guide. He had impeccable English and was sure to explain many happenings going on during our drive to and from the designated stops.
