Click for More DetailsThe tour was great and we had a fantastic day. We were collected from our hotel at about 7.30 am and returned there at about 7.30 pm! We visited not only the wall (where we had plenty of time to walk the whole section) we also visited the Ming Tombs and several shopping outlets. Our guide was very informative, funny and responsive to our needs and requests, with an excellent balance between sightseeing and shopping. It was a definite highlight of our trip and we thoroughly recommend it to anyone who would like a great day at excellent value! Just do it!!

Click for More DetailsWe had an absolutely fantastic day. We were collected from our hotel, on a 12 seater bus, visited not only the Wall and the Ming Tombs but also some great shopping outlets on the way. There was a very good balance of time spent at the sights and at the shops - we elected to visit one more shop on the way home and our day lasted 12 hours! It was great value. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny and attentive to our needs. We recommend this tour to all - it was fantastic value for money.

We joined the bus tour, our guide sought to be helpful and was informative but became confused by some questions (possible language barrier). More time should have been spent at the sights. For example we were rushed around the Ming Tombs and then taken to the Jade \"Museum\" (factory) then lunch for 1 1/2 hours and later stopped at a tea house. We had plenty of time at the Great Wall although were only given the steep option. This was fine for most people, but some of the older ones struggled. Bearing the slant towards visiting shops this was still a good tour.

The coach tour was on the whole well organised and enjoyable. We were collected from our hotel at about 7.30 am and on the way back got dropped off on request, on route to one of the olympic venues - we appreciated this flexibility. We visited the wall (Badaling section) and also the Ming Tombs. Although we had sufficient time to do both, we felt there were unnecessary stops to shopping outlets (jade, silk) and we would have much preferred spending more time at the tourist spots. Our guide was very informative and responsive to our needs and requests and the tour was reasonably priced. The air conditioned bus was also a plus point.

The tour was nice. Our guide (Mr. Valon) met us at the hotel and waited patiently for all of our members. He was very knowledgeable about the tombs. We were not interested in the multiple shops and sales pitches that were offered throughout the day, as our time was limited. The Great Wall was enjoyable, although the smog did take away from the view. We had an air-conditioned bus and were brought back to our hotel in a timely manner. It was also a reasonable value.

We recently visited Beijing and used ChinaTour.net for three separate day tours. Day 1 we visited The Great Wall and the Ming Tombs, day 2 we visited the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace and on day 3 we went to the Lama Temple, the Panda Zoo and the Hutong. All three day tours were wonderful. Our guides were pleasant and informative with excellent English skills. The meals provided were exceptional and transportation with comfortable and prompt. We certainly got value for our money with this tour operation. I was a bit apprehensive when I finalized the booking before we left home because the price was considerably lower then the other online sites offering guided tours. ChinaTour.net was awesome we are completely satisfied customers. Dan and Michelle Balan (Ontario Canada).

We visited not only the wall (where we had plenty of time to walk the whole section) we also visited the Ming Tombs and several shopping outlets. Our guide(Sophia) was very informative, very responsive to our needs and requests, with an excellent balance between sightseeing and shopping. It was a definite highlight of this tour. I would recommend this to any one I know. Very good package. Very good guide.

We like 1 Day Tour: Great Wall, Ming Tombs because our guide was friendly and informative, and the tour was wonderful. Only one thing - i wish it were a little warmer on the bus, but i flew directly over from sunny australia to freezing beijing so maybe i just need to toughen up. I reccommend this tour, its good value for money.

For the coach tour arrangement, I contacted the company to make my own collection arrangements. Value for money Tour guide Justin was vey helpful and had a good knowledge of the site visits The cable car was a joke, we thought we were at the funfare riding a sledge, we had been given to understand that we could pay the extra charge for a cable car.When I questioned where the cable was I was informed that this was not on the tour i had booked, maybe misunderstood by the guide. The lunch was good with plenty of good food The factory and tea house visit were ok with no sales pressure. Overall we had a good day Mike.Polly and Mark Preston UK

The tour was great. I booked it online from Australia. When we arrived Beijing, people told me that some of those tours were rip-offs, which worried me a bit. But the tour organisation proved their competency by picking up at the right place and at the right time, the guide's fluent English (I can speak Chinese but my hubbie speaks English.) and her sense of humour. The group was small enough so no one felt being left out. We were given sufficient time during the Great Wall tour, whcih was full of joy; lunch was very good; even the factory-tour was pleasant, which was un-usual. We're planning to go back to China in the soon future. This time we'll go to the southwest China, and we intend to book tours from this organisation too.
