This One Day tour was quite okay even though it was raining in the morning but was good in the afternoon. We went to the Great wall, Tiananmen square, and forbidden city. We had time to stop off at the Jade museum, and lunch which was okay. After lunch we proceed to the Great Wall where we were given choices about which way we wanted to view it and more than enough time to climb. On our way home we were treated to views of the Olympic Village. I think the cost was little expensive even though they said it was $41 US dollars, the guide took 280 Chinese Currency when you convert the currency it should be less...
This was a great one day tour. I did see everything i wanted to and then some. Jenny called the night before to confirm and arrived on time the following morning. We hit all the sites in one day. We also saw a Jade Factory and had lunch there. Overall, i was very satisfied and saw everything i wanted to see in Bejiing, while Jenny needs to work on her social skills a little more...
Frank spoke great English and he gave some very interesting and useful information about the history behind the sites we saw. Very helpful and friendly! Only problem was that it rained on our way down the Great Wall but Frank out did himself and ran up to meet with with an umbrella...how sweet! THANKS!!!..
I took this tour today. Our guide was Jenny and she did an excellent job despite two very annoying passengers from the US who kept being inappropriate and disrespectful. Anyway, back to the tour… Jenny did an excellent job and explained everything with the right amount of detail and kept giving us options and choices. We started in the center of Beijing and left the Great wall last, which was better, in my opinion. There was a good selection of things to see and do and the tour was excellent value for money. Thank you Jenny...
Jimmy was the tour guide.He was excellent. There were only 6 of us which was great. No long lines and endless people to wait for when getting out of the combi. He explained everything to us giving us the history and stories of the different tour sites. I will definitely go on another tour when visiting Beijing again. Thank you for such a pleasant experience. V.B.de P..
highly recomemded!! i\'ve just booked the tour 1 day before the date, and it confirmed less than 12 hrs. they picked me up on 8 o clock in the morning, and its on time. our tour guide (emmet) has a fluent english communication so we can clearly absorb the information and story behind the scenes. although were leaving in a small group (just 3 person) the tour guide keep their power as well as he lead a medium -large group. fair lunch is provided during the trip, but we spent many times in a government store which offered jade crystal, so its been reduced the other time for every sceneries. overall, im satisfied with this budget tour, and i will be use for my next trip to china...
I had a great tour. Jenny, our guide, was very personable and did a great job. THe driver was also very good. I would definitely use this service again...
This was a great tour. The guide contacted me the day before by phone and e-mail to confirm the pick-up time. I was the only customer for this tour so I got a private tour at a group-tour price! The guide\'s english and knowldge of the sights was excellent. The only negative to the tour was being taken to two tourist sales presentations for local products. This no doubt lowers the price for the tour, but I would prefer more sightseeing time even if it cost more...
Tour was very good. I really enjoyed it. My tour guide Daisy, was very knowledgeable about all the places we went. The weather was a little cloudy that day but there was a good breeze when climbing the Great Wall...
What a great day!! . The guide called me in my room the night before the tour and we exchange the phone number, the pick-up time was on-time. My guide was a very nice young guy with very good english. He was very friendly and always concerned about my needs. I was very lucky because originally I sign up for a group tour , but the other has cancelled , so I end up with a private tour just for my self. What a good service from ChinaTour.Net!!! I really satisfied, clean new car, nice & friendly driver. I enjoyed a private tour: A car and a guide just for me, just perfect for my first time Great Wall visit!. I\'m not used to this shop stop, but anyway finally I find a very beautifull silk dresses for my wife and daughter back home. Very recomended tour service for alone traveller. The tour guide act as my photographer in all the tour so , even I\'m alone, I have enough photo to show to everybody...
Wow...we looked online the night before and called the number listed at the bottom of the website to ask about this tour. We decided to do the tour at about 10pm the night before, and they picked us up on time the next morning. We were picked up in a very nice vehicle by Cynthia, whose english was impeccable, and were taken to all of the places promised. We were fed an excellent lunch, which was included in the price. All of the ticket prices were also included in the price. In summary, this tour went better than I expected was possible on such short notice and for such little money. If you are in the area I would highly reccommend partaking in it!..
It was a great tour, the tour guide Cindy called us the previous night and came to our hotel on time. The great wall's cable car is down due to strong wind and she suggested another site. We also had the Beijing Duck tour which the driver tried his best to take us through the short cuts. Overall satisfied...

Our guide and driver were both courteous, personable and knowledgeable. We also booke dthis tour as a small group but ended up the onloy ones so we were given a private tour in a nice sedan. We were even treated to lunch! You will noot find a better value anywhere. We HIGHLY recommend this tour company, they are first rate!..
We enjoyed our tour very much. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were the only ones on our tour, which allowed us to have extra time in some places, and see some things that we might not have seen otherwise. The lunch was very good, and we enjoyed all the stops. The driver was very skillful in driving through the city traffic. We were very tired at the end of the very long day, but we wouldn't have changed it. I have recommended this tour to several other people already...
We had a great day. The guide called the night before the tour, to the hotel and confirmed the pick-up time and left a phonenumber if it was unconvinient for us. We had some missunderstanding of what tour we had booked but our guide just called her boss and we got exactly what we aksed for and some bonus guidings at teahouse and silkmarket. The tour was very personall as my colleague and myself there the only one this day, so we enjoyed a private tour and got a lot of value for our money. We recommend this tour...

Excellent Tour. The guide called up the night before the tour, the pick-up time was absolutely on-time. Our guide was a very nice, well dressed woman name Jenny with adequate knowledge of english. She was very friendly and always concerned about our needs. We were very lucky because it was just like a private tour: A car and a guide just for myself and my wife that day, just perfect!. It was chilly and very cold but it was a great tour, very personalized. We had a great time at the Great Wall, Forbidden city and Tianamen square. We would not only recommend this site to our friends but will surely recommend our Tour guide Jenny who gave a very personalized attention to us. We gain a friend as well...

Excellent arrangement : Pick up from hotel--_Tiananmen Sq-_Forbidden City-_Great Wall The guide was excellent (Andy), altought me & friend didnt had enough sleep the night before, we were really enjoyed the tour and satisfied.. at the end of the tour, we should've had a bonus which is a traditional massage, but unfortunately we were rushing back to catch or flight back but overall..5 out of 5 for ChinaTour.. I will be back this feb 2009 to visit several other tourist destination and for sure i'm going to use China Tour again..
The one-day tour to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall was extremely enjoyable, and our guide, May, took very good care of us. All three locations were packed with tourists, mostly local, even though it was a week day in early November; clearly it would be good to avoid weekends. The visit to the jade factory, and the delicious lunch served there, were a bonus. This tour was excellent value for money, and I recommend it without hesitation...
This One Day tour was quite enjoyable. We got an early start in the city and toured the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Sq, the guide had lots of side information to give us and worked well with the children in our group. We had time to stop off at the Jade factory and lunch was delicious and they were willing to accommodate our vegetarian diet. After lunch we proceed to the Great Wall where we were given choices about which way we wanted to view it and more than enough time to climb. On our way home we were treated to views of the under construction Olympic Village as well as a Silk Factory. I would recommend this to persons from abroad or new to the city. The driver was also quite good at his job...
I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Jennifer, was very knowledgable about Beijing and the places we visited, and was quite personable. It was bitterly cold when we went to the Great Wall, and I wish I'd brought a warmer coat, but have no fear, there are a million vendors there who will be happy to sell you scarves, hats, sweaters, coats, whatever you need. Others have complained about the shopping stops. All I can say is, I enjoyed the stops and seeing how the cloissone is made was quite facinating. I considered the shopping stops a small price to pay for such a great trip at such an inexpensive price. Cab fare, ticket prices, and lunch would have cost more on my own. I would recommend the trip to anyone. :)..
