 |  This tour was booked on the Internet a week before I visited Beijing. Service was excellent, with guides phoning the night before to confirm tha collection time. Pick-ups were on time and both Jennifer & Andy, the guides, were very knowledgeable. Everyone on both 19 & 20 November\'s tours agreed that this was excellent value for money, all guests on both days agreed that the service was fantastic. For a short visit to Beijing, this package is a must!! You get to see all the \"important\" places!!. Lunches were good and the guides were attentive to the needs of the group. I will definitely use this company again!!

|  This was our second trip to China to show off to my wife's parents what a wonderful experience we had. Politics and myths will be what they are, China have shown me that people from whatever race or culture, are inherently good and hospitable at heart. Everyone showed us a great time, in fact, they went out of their way to ensure that we had a great experience. If we had hospitality like this back home, then this world would be a much better place. Our tour guide for this last visit was Rita (Morning Beauty), and when we thought that our last tour guide (Cynthia) was as good as it could ever get, Rita proved us wrong by elevating the service to the next higher level. The tour guides are extremely knowledgable and friendly and young and beautiful. Great experience and memories I will take with me forever. and we I took this tour on 23/24 May, I booked just a couple of days before online and as confirmed the tour guide called me in my hotel room the evening of 22 May and then again on 23 May to confirm pick up times. For the money paid (in cash to tour guide after day one completed) I cannot believe how much is packed in and included - We visited everything on the list and there were other places of interest added, such as Pearl, Jade, Silk Factories, Tea

For the money paid (in cash to tour guide after day one completed) I cannot believe how much is packed in and included - We visited everything on the list and there were other places of interest added, such as Pearl, Jade, Silk Factories, Tea House etc, which was a bonus. Lunch on both days was good too. The guides (Jennifer on Day 1 - Great Wall etc, and Christina on Day 2 - Forbidden City, Temples etc) were very friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They clearly work very hard. I was also helped by them to book last minute tickets to an acrobatics show one evening after listening to other people on the tour talk about how great it was to see. The budget tour was great (8 / 9 people) and I met people from all over the world, and have already been able to exhange emails / meet up with a couple of them. Its a great way to see Beijing, which is a huge city, and a great way to meet people and enjoy them time to the maximum. Very very highly recommended.

|  I can really recommend this tour, I only had two days and I saw a lot in the short time.
Rita is an excellent guide very knowledgable and very outspoken in English. She really gave many interesting insights.
Also the stops at the factories for silk, enamel and Jade were really interesting. The people are not so pushy - you are free not to buy anything there.
Only thing to improve would be the transportation logistics. E.g. I was first to be picked up for the Great Wall tour. So in the morning I spent approx. 90 minutes in the bus before we were finally off to the Great Wall. In the evening the same thing on the way back.

|  If you only have a few days in Beijing- this two day tour is the way to go! The tour guides are friendly, know their stuff, and are well-spoken in English. You can not beat the price to see all these great places. The whole time was great, even the lunches! Excellent opportunity-trust me!

| I booked 2 days tour for May 26 and 27 for 2 persons via online before departed to Beijing. A night before, the guide - Cynthia - called me to confirm the pick up in the next morning. It was an on time pick up. Cynthia was really nice, friendly and very informative. Her English was quite good too. She knows my mother speaks Chinese and doesn\'t speak English so she explained in English to other European tourists and me while she speaks Chinese to my mother. We spent about 1.5 hours at Great Wall then had lunch before heading to Ming Tomb. From Ming Tomb, on the way to our hotels she brought us to a traditional herbs store for foot massage. The massage was great, healing our exhaustment after climbing Great Wall. We were satisfied with the tour and the guide
The next day the tour changed the guide (Wendy). Sorry to say but she was a lousy guide and it was a bad tour experience. Firstly she picked us up late around 15 minutes. In Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven, she was really rushing us so we didn\'t have a chance to take photos and explore the beautiful landmarks. In Temple of Heaven we even only have 20 minutes to explore this place! She didn\'t explain a lot and most of her times just playing around and joking with other male tourists. She also gave us too much unnecessary time in jade and silk shops and let us wait for her in every shop. The most amazing thing, when the coach drove us back to hotel, she jumped out of the coach to go home when tourists were still in the coach. I\'ve never seen such a neglectful, irresponsible guide like her! Although her English was better than Cynthia but with her manner, I\'m not sure she\'s ready and capable to be a guide! I hope next time China Tour can select better guide.

| I took this tour on 8/9 June, I booked just a couple of days before online. For the money paid (in cash to tour guide after day one completed) I cannot believe how much is packed in and included - We visited everything on the list and there were other places of interest added, such as Pearl, Jade, Silk Factories, Tea. Granted some of these stops were for commercial purposes, but if that's what keeps the price of such a comprehensive tour down, then I'm all for it. Christin, our tour guide, was excellent and the driver was always ready and waiting for us and kept us on schedule. There are many tour options in Beijing, this one will take care of all your needs.

| My husband and I took the 2 day tour on June 6th and June 7th 2008. We were only in Beijing for a long weekend trip and I booked this tour online after reading so many wonderful reviews about it. I paid for the tour in full with my credit card when I booked the tour. Our tour guide Rita called us the night before (just like they informed us she would) to let us know what time to meet her in the lobby of our hotel. She arrived promptly the next morning to pick us up to start the tour.
From the start of this tour my husband and I were not disappointed! The tour was great! Rita was so nice and friendly and knew so much about all the places we went to visit! Her English was excellent! The time we spent at each place was well planned out and we never felt rushed. The lunch on both days were very delicious. We were driven around in a air conditioned mini van for the two days we took the tour and we met some great people along the way! I strongly encourage anyone to take this tour (especiialy if you are only in Beijing for a short time and want to see as much as possible)...you will not regret it! You definitely get more than what you pay for!
Thanks again to our tour guide Rita for a wonderful Beijing experience!
