The 2 Day Beijing Tour is a good, basic first tour of the city. A first time tourist could not accomplish on his/her own, so much in such a short time so its a good way to launch your trip. The guide, Toni, was well informed and spoke decent English. The group was a nice mix of friendly people. Lunch on the first day was ok, the buffet on the second day offered plenty but was cold... All in all, a good experience...

I did the two day it was amazing.I had a great time. Our guide Jenny was very knowledgeable of all the sites and took the time to explain things to us.I would book again if I come to China...
The tour was great.Our guide Jenny did an awsome job and explain each site well.We had a great group.I would book again in the furture...
Jimmy The TourMaster! It was excellent tour!, our tour guide (jimmy) was perfect. Thanks for everything you done Jimmy...
I went on the two day tour as a private tour and it was great. For the price and the time time I had I saw all the big attractions and did it with a great guide and very comfortable car. I would suggest that if you are not a great climber or a little unfit go to the cable car section of the great wall - the walk up the stairs was very intense. Overall a great experience...
Excellent tour, excellent guide, ratio price/tour very good!! It's worth it trying!!..
We went on two tours, the city tour and Great Wall at Mutianyu and Ming Tombs. Both tours represent excellent value for money and I would highly recomment them...
We had two tours a Great Wall and Ming Tombs, and a City Tour including Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace. We were picked up exactly on time on both occasions from our Hotel. We had guide Emmit on the Wall trip. He was an encyclopaedia of information. We went to Mutianyu it was fabulous. Yes we did visit a jade museum but there is no obligation to buy but I found it interesting and the lunch supplied in the museum was very good. For the City Trip we had guide David who was also very good. The lunch again supplied included was also good. All in all both these trips were excellent value for money and I would highly recommend ChinaTour.Net. We also had a trip to the airport on our departure for 300 yuan. Again driver on time and polite...
We appreciate the service you provided at ChinaTour.Net. However, there were a lot of surprises that I didn\'t know about on this tour. I wish I had known about the jade museum(shop) visit beforehand. I guess it wouldn\'t have been so bad if I had known about it and would welcome them as a break from the monotony of just sightseeing. The drawbacks from the factory visits were that it took up our time. For example: We drove one hour to visit the Temple of Heaven, which is very beautiful. We had 45 minutes to walk around there and had to get back to a meeting place to adjourn. we also spent 30 minutes at the silk factory to look at their manufacturing process of silk and \"shopping\" trip. I didn\'t buy any silk blanket even though I wanted to buy this item before coming to China. I guess because it was a surprise for me and I didn\'t plan on \"shopping\" on a sightseeing trip. I try not to be a compulsive buyer and plan all my shopping so I didn\'t open my wallet as a result. Maybe they did offer us a deal, maybe not but I just wasn\'t open to buying any silk blanket at that time. I did, however, shopped at the Jade Museum. It was for small items and medium items. I just think that the website should have inform us of the \"side trips\" for shopping. I remembered that we also took a tour in Hong Kong. The tour guide had tons of stories to share with us and explained most of the buildings and places we passed as the bus drove by. I felt like that I got a pretty good history of Hong Kong by the time we reached our destination. Our tour guide in Hong Kong was so interesting and had lots of stories to tell. I asked tour guide at times about the places we passed in Beijing, she answered my questions with one or two words. I would like to give her a hint that she should narrate Beijing history more as our tour guide. She was a very nice person. She gave my daughter a big juicy peach to eat when my daughter was being fussy, but she was not informative enough as a Beijing tour guide. Was it a lack of knowledge of Beijing on her part? I guess i had a high expectation of tour guide after our tour in Hong Kong and expect tour guide to be an enthusiastic person about the trip as we were. All the places we visited were very crowded too in Beijing. I guess i wouldn\'t travel to China in the summer months again. I would go in the Spring when the weather is cooler. The lunch was good. The food was catered to westerners. Our driver for the airport pickup was very punctual and patient. One of them waited at the airport even though our flight was late. The airport pickup for our return flight to the U.S. was right on time, waiting downstairs 5 minutes before 10 a.m., the time I asked him to transfer us to the airport. He was very curteous and loaded all of our suitcases onto a cart once he arrived at the airport and was very detailed in explaining to us where to go at the airport terminal...
Our guide Jenny was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Beijing. Her English is very good, and we did not have a problem understanding her. We did the 2 day tour with the Peking duck dinner and the acrobatic show as extras. The acrobatic show is something not to be missed. It is breathtaking. Our group consisted of 11 people from 6 different countries. We were given plenty of time to wander at each location, and the buffet lunches were wonderful. The only extra money that had to be spent was the 80RMB return cable car return trip, and the taxi (about 40RMB) back to the hotel after the optional extras -Peking duck dinner, and acrobatic show. Thankyou Jenny for giving us such a wonderful experience. Heather, Jonathyn and Felicity. Australia...
The tour is perfect for those who want to see all the 'must see' sights of Beijing. After it you can pick the places you liked the most and go there on your own later (that's what I usually do). The guides were ok and the group was quite international. We had lots of fun during the trip to the great wall, took a cable car. Next day we walked a lot but even the oldest among us made it till the end without any problems. In general this tour totally worth its price...
Very comfortable tour. Good guide and service. Although it has several shopping guide, but it\'s interesting. The buffet for the second day is nice. Just the lunch for the first day is not so good. Whatever, it worth the price and will give you a happy holiday. I will recommend to my friends if they need take foreign friends to visit BJ...
wonderfull sights, many sights seeing in two days, very friendly guides speak very well english, no english map available even in hotel, time in great wall (2 hour) this tour I can recommend everyone...
My mom and I booked the two day Beijing Tour Package just about a week before our holiday. Not only did we find the prices on Chinatour.net to be significantly cheaper by comparison, but the company and tour guides came highly recommended by friends. We were able to see just about every hot spot in Beijing in only two days, and our two different guides were excellent - very friendly, knowledgeable and spoke great English. Having all of the transportation taken care of for us was definately a perk as well, and booking with a bus tour was a great way to meet some new people. We were even able to book an Opera through the company and they dropped us off right at the Theater! For the amount of time that we got to spend at the Great Wall (which was the highlight of our trip of course). We spent the majority of the morning driving, visiting the Tomb and the Jade Factory plus a long lunch that by the time we made it to the Great Wall. Our guide give us two hours (including the time waiting in the long line for the cable car, the ride up the mountain, the time at the Wall and waiting in the long line for the return cable car) - but still not the ample amount of time that I wanted to spend climbing and exploring the Wall! Additionally, we were not informed prior to the tour to bring money along for the \"extras\" not included. What they did not tell us was that the only option for the Great Wall was the cable car (due to time restrictions), but it was going to cost an additionally 80 RMB per person. On top of that, during these two days, we visited the Jade Factory, a Silk Factory, and a Pearl Market, where we were not only given an informational (and interesting) presentation, but then followed around by sales people to sell the products. Tipping is not the standard in China, but it was awkward when they said, \"You can tip if you want...\", then waited for the tip. Overall, we had a great trip, lots to see and a lot of information learned! I will recommend this tour company...
When we decided to take two or three days to visit Beijing we looked at all of the options including trying it alone.....Coming from Canada I would never try this without a tour......Our first day covered Forbidden city, Temple of heaven and Summer Palace as well as a sik factory with was a refreshing switch.....The traffic was busy, the places were very busy and lineups were long being on a favorite long weekend and the tour guides made sure all was seen in a relatively reasonable amount of time. The tour guides are friendly and courteous and very helpful.....The prices were reasonable too....The lunches are good and the attractions visited were very high quality. I would never have seen as much as we did without the tour guides...
I had just a few days in Beijing and ChinaTour.Net helped me enjoy all the main places to see in a very efficient way. I booked late evening and they were there the morning after at 7h30 to pick me up. Quite impressive. They had also booked my flights from Shanghai to Xian and to Xian to Beijing. Very, very relible firm. I recommend them without a single hesitation...
Great tour, we did the 2 person personal tour, it was great, you can change the tour or if you want to see or do something else you can. You also get all the information not just for the tour but also on shopping and eating or anything else you want. We had Jenny (ask for her) she was great, we actualy feel like we made a good friend, she could not do enough for us. Thanks Jenny..
I only had two days to visit the main spots and it was a great way of doing it. I booked this tour just few days from the internet. I really recommend this tour and I will suggest all my friend to take this tour if they go to Beijing. The tour guides are extremely knowledgable and friendly. They were very helpful as well. The trips were organized very good (the lunch were really delicious). Great experience and memories!!! I will definitely use this company again!!! And I can recommend it to anyone!!!..
Day one: the Guide picked us up on time and he called one day before to confirm The Bus driver was a great driver very responsible and I felt safe at all times,the views where beautiful. The Buffet was exelent and very delicious The Guide TONY was very simpatic but his english was not so good that my friend and I decided to ignore him, he should really try to improve his english pronunciation, because seriously I paid the tour to learn about China. Day two the guide picked us up on time and she called on day before to confirm. The Bus Driver ...he was rude and suiciaidal the would throw the bus infront of another bus with no remorsethere was at least 6 or 7 times i thought we were gonna get hit, if there was a team of tourist crossing the street he didnt stop.. he would just go thru them as if they were ghosts... Lisa our second day guide was good she spoke very well english but a bit too fast so she wasn´t clear at some points.. but the tour was good we hope to travel with you again..
This was a perfect 2 day tour and Tony was an amazing tour guide. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in seeing all the major landmarks and experiencing the culture...
Please pass on to the staff of China Tour, our thanks for our special time in Beijing. We did enjoy your tours and found them to be run by excellent young people who went out of their way to make us both welcome and comfortable on the tours we had.. We would have no hesitation in using your service in and future, and have already made recommendations to our friends who are travelling in your beautiful country, to use your service. A most enjoyable time - which we would liked to have extended, maybe next year.... Kindest regards to all Elaine and Russell Crane.....
We book the tour through the internet only few days before and we found it to be very reliable. If you have only few days to spend in Beijing, we do recommend this tour. Lisa our guide was friendly and helpful and very well spoken in English, with professional attitud and with good knowledge on the sites that were visited. Lisa made us feel as one group of friends and we had a very pleasant and relaxing time. She was always punctual. The lunch provided on the day that we visited the great wall was very good. We will recommend this tour to our friends Emilio and Patricia from Sydney..
