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.
