Day tour was ok, English speaking tour guide Nikki was very helpful and good in showing around with ample knowledge about the places. We were staying near to the airport which is out of their pick up point so we had to spent additional 200 yuan for a return trip to the pick up location and the agency did not agree to arrange this transportation. We had booked online so we couldn't cancel this as the credit card was charged immediately. I suggest if you have enough time, you could walk into any tour package agency or a tour guide to get cheaper tickets on the day or a day in advance. There are plenty available as this is a famous spot and n number of people visit daily. I personally feel this as an expensive one, when i checked with a friend of mine at the Great Wall, i was bit surprised with his day tour price which he bought from Beijing city. If you don't have enough time and your hotel is within their pick up area, well you can buy. The rating is for the tour guide Nikki for entertaining us whole day. One stop at jade museum/shop was bit boring as they gave us 2-3 hours with in that shop lots and those shopkeepers were chasing us to buy something, if you are rich then fine, happy shopping. Other than that, the trip was ok.
