Review of 1 Day Tour: Great Wall, Summer Palace by Marinda

This was the third tour package we booked. Everything worked out great - we were picked up at at 8.10am. Although we booked the budget group tour package, we had a private car and guide instead! The local guide, Jenny, was very helpful and pleasant. She spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable in explaining to us the history of China. After visiting the Summer Palace which was very lovely, we were brought to the jade factory. We were surprised to be served sumptuous lunch at the posh restaurant in the jade outlet. Although there was a tea ceremony as part of the package, we skipped that as we told her we had visited it the other day. She was nice to bring us to the silk factory instead and we were pleased to see how silk was made! Overall, good value for money and I would truly recommend this to anyone who has not been to the Great Wall and the Summer Palace - both are awesome, be ready for quite a climb at the wall.
