An amazing experience from start! We had a driver pick us up and take us to meet our tour guide Lisa. She was wonderful and very helpful. We got to see a lot of things during the day. Started at Tiananmen Square, then the Jade Store, lunch, Great wall, dinner and Kungfu show. The last two were additional activities we purchased.
Things we liked: Going to the quite part of the Great Wall and the time spent there. Going up takes longer than coming down. If you have two hours to spend, leave only 30-45 mins to come down and enjoy the climb up longer.
We wish we spent more time in the Forbidden city. I would have spent more time in that location than at the shopping centers we went to. It would have been good to go to the other side of the road of Tiananmen Square too.
One advise, don\'t feel obligated to make any purchases at the shopping sites, and if you really want to buy something, feel comfortable negotiating the price. You can always get a good deal!
