5/5. Daniel was our tour guide and the communication was great. Value for money and great experience meeting new people during the trip. Mutianyu is a great part of the Great Wall to visit. Not too touristy in the morning - about 4 hour ride - but the whole ride was comfortable. Thank you, Daniel and ChinaTour! - Paula :)..
Well organized excursion at the beginning. Driver of the minibus quite dangerous in driving. The tour was not completed because the stop was not made in the Olympic stadiums as we had hired to visit the bird's nest and the water bucket. According to the guide there was no time although there was time to visit the tea shop, despite having to detour several kilometers to get there. Therefore the scheduled visits on the tour were not respected. That yes they have charged us the full amount of the tour...
Great tour and great guide. Our Tour guide Leo was really great and his knowledge was phenomenal. Everything in this tour was great including tea seremony and jade factory. In Mutianyu section of the wall was the best choice because there was not so much people. Toboccan ride was lot of fun and not so scary that I expectid. Lunch was tasty too. I totally recommend!..
It felt very rushed. Mainly due to the fact that we had to pick up people from approx. 6 locations, with long waiting time at each. Although it was supposed to be for a small group of 6-8 people but ended with 18 people. They said it was due to tour leaders being overbooked and they had to combine. Tomb visit was basically just a small museum. Olympic Stadium vist was basically a 5 minute take-a-photo from afar pit stop. Highlight of the tour, the Great Wall, we only had around 1 hour plus. Tour guide was mediocre, assistant tour guide Jessica was very friendly and helpful...
Tour guide speaks english well. Tour was very organized What I didnot like about the tour is that I needed to go to another hotel. Tour guide did not pick me up/drop me off my hotel which was a big hassle for me...
Very disappointing! Despite the promise that the tour would be without shopping there were loads !!!..

The guide was very disappointing! His English was not clear. Despite the promise that there will be no shopping there were plenty of stops for shopping and this is contrary to your commitment to the site !!..
All was as promissed would recommend to take this tour. The visit to the olimpic stadiums is not from close distance you can see them but they are far away , kind of like a viewing area . But all was good will recommend this tour for the price..
It was a good tour overall. But a few details. We were supposed to see the Olympic area, we just stopped with the car for 5min in a street where you could barely see the roof of the stadiums. That's not a real viewing of the Olympic area. The jade shop took a bit too long, I would have preferred more time at the Great Wall, it was almost 2 hours which is fine but more would be better. The Ming tomb we visited didn't seem like a super good attraction, it was empty. I have the feeling others would be better. Anyway, in general was fine for a day tour...
Good tour, enough time to explore the Great Wall on your own. We had a private tour so my partner and I were able to walk along the great wall ourselves and take photos where we wanted without waiting for anyone else. Had about 2 - 3 hrs for ourselves on the wall. Quick glimpse of the olympic stadium from afar, would be nice to be up closer however probably due to time constraints this is what they fit in the tour. Ming Tomb was nice addition to see as well and had a tea tasting at a tea house before going back to our hotel...
It was a very nice experience visiting Great Wall of China. We visited the Mutianyu Section of Great wall through Cable Car and returned back by Toggogan. Its amazing and adventurous. The guide was very soft spoken and pleasing. He kept telling us stories of the Great Wall of China and Ming Tombs...
Amazing tour, tour guide spoke great English. She was knolidgable, funny and helpful. I really enjoyed in great wall...
Mutianyu was great, not crowded, would have liked more time there. Did not care for the mausoleum tour, the place was run down. The tour guide was not very good at given information. The lunch was mostly veggies. The ladies serving was very rude since we did not purchase drinks. The Olympic stadium was a joke. You could barely see It from the bridge. The only part I cared about was the Great Wall. Everything else I could have skipped- jade and tea factory. I did purchase a few variety of tea. We found out after getting home that the tea doesn’t taste anything like the sample...
The tour guide Ms.Lisa was good and helpful. The lunch however was of LOW QUALITY Regards..
This is very organized trip, sure next time i.will join tour provided by this travel. Also I booked this in last minute and they can still orgnaized it, Very Good...
Paid for a small group tour but there were 23 member in the group! Olympic stadium not covered. Agency should be upfront if changes to plans/itenary are unavoidable. Despite the above I must commend the tour guide for doing a great job..
Great tour with outstanding guide Sue. She (and the driver - don’t know the name) reorganized the tour so we have skipped crowd on visited locations. Plenty informations and answers to all our questions. Excellent..
A great section of the wall to see. Opportunities for cable car and toboggan add fun to the visit for all the family. Lunch is good. First stops felt rushed unless there was a shopping opportunity. At the end we were encouraged to take the tube to avoid the traffic - be careful with this... extra cost and not sure it was really faster...
Had a fun time on the tour. Tour guide speaks English very well and was knowledgeable of the places we visited. Will definitely book with her again...
