We supposed to go to BaDaLing great wall on 30 Apr. However, the tour guide made a wise choice by changing to MuTianYu Great Wall which was slightly less crowded and no jam. If not, I cant imagine how long we would trap on the road and squeezed with thousands of people at BaDaLing Great Wall due to China holiday. The tour guide is funny, sometimes is blur too. Overall a great experience visiting the MuTianYu Great Wall and Ming Tomb...
Great tour, definitely worth the money! Just make just you bring cash to buy the cable car ticket to go up the wall, they don’t give you the option to walk because it takes to long...
Did not know the Ming Tomb part would be soooo short. Total disappointment. Tour guide did not give any information during the ride in the car. Then he just pretty much got us tickets off and let us visit each place and told us to be back at a certain time. After the visit to the jade factory, our group was waiting for him and the driver for 20 MINUTES!!! totally unprofessional. He didn't even apologize. The visits to the jade factory or the tea factory were not listed in the initial itinerary. I felt like you could have given us an audio recorder and we could just go on our own way...
The tour was nice, Chris and company were able to rapidly adapt to Badaling section being closed for a Foreign President and got us to the Mu tain yu section with no problem. The downside was the Ming tomb. It was a very short visit and no exploration was available. It was very brief and I'm not even sure if we missed anything because it was so quick. Overall, the company was good, the group size was great and we enjoyed ourselves greatly...
The tour was overall okay. However, we specifically asked for a tour that didn’t squeeze in shopping between the things you are actually there for and still, this Tour did ecactly that. Be aware that you are talen to a jade factory and expensive tea house in between attractions and that you are expected to buy something. The Ming Tombs are not worth seeing and the part of the Wall they take you to is incredibly crowded, even though there is less crowded parts close by. Would recommend to take a trip to the Wall with a private driver (which can come at a not much more expensive price) and decide yourself which part of the Wall you are going to...
Nice tour with nice guide and an efficient driver. Picked me from the hotel on time and showed us the sights in a professional and friendly manner...
guide was a bit grumpy when we couldn't keep up to pace. He was moving way too fast. We drove like an hr and a half to great wall just to see it for an hour and a half. We were rushed because there were other things on the itinerary like jade store and tea etc.. which is fine but i think those are secondary activities in which we could cut down the time on...
Chris, our guide, was very helpful with information about the Great Wall and Ming Tombs. He also answered all of our questions about Chinese pronunciation with much patience. If you don't wish to go to an optional tea ceremony, then you must say so beforehand...
This is the best value you can get for your money. Our tour guide HAHA was amazing and super knowledgeable. We did so much in one day , you totally get your money’s worth and then some. They pick you up from your hotel and the first stop was a Jade factory. Really cool and great prices because it’s regulated by the government. Next was the Ming tombs. Then a traditional lunch at the base of the Great Wall. Then the Great Wall. It truly was amazing and everything you’ve ever imagined. You MUST take the toboggan down NO matter how long the wait was. Seriously fun. Then back to the bus and you’d think the day was over but NO it’s not. One last stop was a traditional tea house. So knowledgeable and interesting. Then your day was over. We were gone for about 12 hours. It truly is the BEST value for your money. and ask for HAHA as your guide. She was amazing...
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The tour guide Daniel was very informative and had great Knowledge on the history of the great wall and ming tombs awesome trip with awesome guide. Thank you chinatour. Net...
Schöne Tour, guter Guide (Chris). Buchung war sehr spontan möglich. Das Organisatorische hat sehr gut funktioniert. Besten Dank...
Arranged the tour over the phone in Beijing with no issues including special pickup. Had a great day out. Traffic was terrible in the school holidays and our guide made alternate arrangements that really worked well and didn't cost us extra. quite fantastic service. Thanks..
Tour guide explained the history of the sites we visited clearly. The tour was excellent...
I am a solo female traveller, so I booked a group tour, but the company sent a small bus with a driver to pick me up, with some other men/visitors on the bus. I did not feel safe so I refused to join as would many other female tourists. Therefore I can only assign a bad rating as in fact I had to cancel that trip...
Tina was a very helpful and knowledgeable guide! We were stuck in the visa process and were 5 Min late so she arranged us a taxi and guided us to the next hotel so that we could still take part in the tour! The best alternative to a private tour when you only have a layover :)..
