Everything in the Tour went good, the tour guide speaks well in English, we learned too much from the history of China, but we didn\'t get inside the tomb under the Ming\'s Tomb hill..., only the Temple on the Ming\'s Tomb...

My wife and I did the 2 day coach tour of Beijing. Our tour guide, Bruce, was very knowledgeable and spoke English well. We did have much time in Beijing, so this tour package was great for us. The only thing we wish we could have done was to walk down from the Great Wall. In the description, it lists the cable car as an option, but our guide told us we did not have enough time to walk up and back down the Great Wall. So everyone in the tour had to fork out an additional 80 RMB for a round trip cable car ticket. We were not expecting that. I understand that there are time constraints on the tours, but we had plenty of time to at least be given the option to take the cable car up and walk back down. After the Great Wall we went to the Ming Tomb and then returned and finished dropping off everyone at there hotels at 3:30PM. Plenty of extra time to be able to walk up and back down the Great Wall.

I only had two days to visit the main spots and it was a great way of doing it. Tony was a great guide and taught us a lot. I recommend this tour to anyone because Beijing is too big to walk and it's much easier to visit if you have a guide. I hope to go back one day!

I booked this tour just a few days from the internet. Since Me and my wife Syarah were only staying a few days in Beijing, we just took the 2 days tour package.
I really recommend this tour and I will suggest all my friend to take this tour if they go to Beijing. The guide Ms Wendy were good and very nice. She explain me about these tour very well.
The bus was ok, the driver very proper.
Me and my wife enjoy all the trip we take. The meals for our lunch was good and the places were nice.
This tour has give us a very nice memory about Beijing

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!

The buffet for the second day is good, lunch for the first day is not so good.
Whatever, it worth the price and will give you a happy holiday.
