Review of 2 Days Beijing Classic Tour by Sue

2 Days Beijing Classic Tour

I booked this tour on 9/10 Feb. with my family and two friends. The tour had a lot of lovely sites such as the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs on the first day and The Forbidden Palace, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven in the second day. Although these were monumental and memorable places to visit on both days we were on a little rush and didn\'t have plenty of time to bask in the beauty and glory of these ancient places. Our guide was Wendy on both days. She guided us through all the site seeing wonders and she often walked ahead of us while we were trying to look at all the relics and antiques, after our tour (on the first day) Wendy left the bus before the dirver dropped us off at our hotel - technically as a tour guide one should pick and drop customers off - not look for a convenient way to get home early especially since we (the customer) paid for her service. On the second day we went to all the places on the list except for Tianemen Square because apparently it was not in the 2 days tour description - We ended up going on our own to Tianeman Square the third days morning. Although I enjoyed my visits to the places in our tour list I would suggest the tour guide give customers extra time to see these places and visit these places and exhibitions. Also out of courtesy to the customer don\'t leave the customers even if they are moving slow. It was quite evident that the tour guide had a lot of knowledge about these ancient places but when we had questions we couldn\'t quite ask them since we had to catch up to the tour guide and by that time the tour guide was well passed the site that we had questions about. All in all I wish I had more time at the site-seeing places.
