We had a wonderful time from start to finish. Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable and the driver was pleasant and attentive. Favorite part was the detailed tour of the Forbidden City and then the Great Wall...
The tour plan was good, although we only got 1.5 hours to climb the Great Wall and come back down which was too short. Considering that is the main reason to do the tour, maximum time should be given there, instead of taking people to a gems and tea shop (which is not mentioned in the description). The guides get commission and always make sure to take you there instead of letting you spend time on the real stuff. Though I will say, the tea shop had very nice teas (China Cha). We started with Tian’anmen square, went to Forbidden city, then had lunch and went to the Great Wall. Climbing the Wall immediately after lunch is a bad idea! This should be the first thing in the morning - so order should be rescheduled. Lastly, while our guide Victor was nice and friendly, he needs major major improvement in personal hygiene and did not wait for the whole group to gather at Forbidden city before giving out explanations and information about the place. Overall, the tour was fun but there were so many gaps...
As Chinese Americans who are separated from China by several generations, we hoped to get an immersive cultural experience in a short period of time and this tour did not disappoint! Our family of nine had a wonderful time and will not soon forget the great experience. Everything was well organized and punctual and our driver and tour guide were awesome at accommodating the needs of our group, from more convenient walking routes for elders/grandparents and secluded sites for naptime/breastfeeding for the baby. Highly recommended this for for travelers who have little time but want to see and learn a lot!..
I didn't receive a visa and was unable to leave the airport :( meaning I wasn't able to take part in my planned tour to the wall...
We absolutely loved our tour and our tour guide Phelix was amazing! We would love his contact information if possible...
We didn’t actually make the tour as we were delayed ., but I can’t speak more kindly of the tour operators as they have us money back which in the circumstances was a very generous gesture ...
Excellent service! We enjoyed our tour to the Great Wall and didn't have any problem...
We did not go to Tiananmen Square as it was closed off. Please have another avtivity to change it if it happens again or diminish the price. Otherwise, our guide was great...
Great trip. Yoyo was a perfect guide. Good knowledge about the Square and forbidden city. Good guidance a the wall...
Great team. Nancy in the office who guided and supported me in all my requests in timely manner. Felix the tour guide was great and explained each and every thing on tour or non tour queries. Would highly recommend to all...
My wife and I came during Chinese New Year. It was extremely hectic, but our guide was very good and professional. We loved the tour and the guide. I will say, due to it being CNY, I do not think that things were planned out accordingly. We were very dissapointed and upset that the tour did not give us enough time to tour the Great Wall...we only were given 1.5 hours which is NOT enough time. It was very upsetting. We spent more time at Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City than we did at the Great Wall which it should have been the opposite. That is why I am giving this tour a 3/5 stars. The amount of money spent should have accounted for the crowds and made the experience more enjoyable. We felt very rushed and that was not OKAY...
I give this tour 3 stars. I feel like it was a bit of a tourist trap. The lunch spot charges 30rmb for coke soda. The tour guide left before the driver could dropping everyone off at back at their hotels. The driver refused to turn the heat on in the van so it was freezing outside as well as inside of the van. However he showed us everything and got us back safely...
The tour was great and the price is reasonable. However, the hotel pickup was not done, instead, you have to go to the waiting place which is a hazzle for new traveller in the area...
I would highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Chris, was on time, and he planned the events well, specifically so that we could be at the Great Wall when the weather was a bit warmer (It was -2degC in the morning). We were also given enough time to explore the places we visited, and Chris was extra patient with us as we wanted to get our fair share of pictures :) I also appreciated that the car they provided was very comfortable. Aside from the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, they brought us to two other places: a shop where they showed us how jade (the Chinese diamond) is carved, and also a tea place. I appreciated these stops especially because we did not expect them. Also, the visit to the tea house was timed exactly right as it was so relaxing to have a cup of tea after the long walks on the Great wall. Overall, this was a really great tour. It was worth every cent we paid!..
Nice trip with a great adventure experience, especially toke cable car to the top of Great Wall and enjoyed with hiking and wonderful view there...
It was awesome.We were provided a separate vehicle for 4 of us even though we booked for a group option.Guide was excellent too...
