We went on our tour on Nov 4, 2017 with Sophia as our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and we had a great experience. Couple of areas of improvement:
The tour involves stopping at couple of shopping factories - jade and clay/wood factory where they make terra cotta warriors. Did not enjoy this. We would pay extra to skip these "shopping" stops next time. Waste of time. Better to spend time at actual sites.
The stops at the actual sites were a bit rushed. Would have been nice to spend more "free" time to explore.
We did not get contacted the night before (as advertised when booking) as to what time the tour guide would stop over at our hotel to pick us up. When we tried to call (before 11pm) no one answered. So we had to wake up early and wait. Would have been nice to get message night before as to when we would be picked up.
Otherwise, the tour of the sites was quite nice. The driver drives quite "fast"! We survived!!
