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. :)..
i was very happy, for a short notice, i had confirmd my tour. I was on a 7 day work for my company, and i had to squeeze in a tour to see the great wall of china. not only did i get great wall tour, but also the forbidden city and tianamen square. more, we were brought to jade factory and chinese tea house, and lunch as well! for a very reasonable price, it was a very informative and enjoyable tour! The guide was great and the driver very good! I will be doing business with you later as I am in the travel business too.! Thank you!!..
Very competent, friendly and helpful guide, a skillfull driver, a wonderful culture, a great country and amazing things to see. It could not have been any better. This excellent impression was unfortunately spoilt by \"shopping stop\". I suggest to increase the coach tour price, but stop the \"shopping\". Five stars for the tour, none for the shopping.......
We had two tours for 2 persons each, called Private Car Tour. One in Shanghai, the other in Beijing. The general impressions are: +++ 1. The guides were exactly on time. (For me it is a vital factor.) 2. Both made notes the evening before the journey, leaving accurate message if we were not reachable in the Hotel. 3. They were flexible when we asked for a slight change in the program just before leaving the hotel on the day of the tour. 4. The lunches were good, however no luxury but acceptable indeed. -- 5. The tour guides were prepared for their job but not enough, I would expect facts and stories from the guide. Continuously keep our interest awake. The guide in Beijing were speaking a lot, The other in Shanghai was good in the morning but in the afternoon seemed as if he had lost his whole interest. 6. “Shopping†inserted in the tours were sometimes disturbing. All together I would mark the tours as 4. Have a good journey! BT..
Were very impressed with the service of the China Tour Guide, especially with their Tour Guides, Lisa, Sophia and Nora who took us through the Hutong District by Rickshaw. Will certainly use them again, next time we travel through China...
