Review of 2 Days Beijing Classic Tour by Deiby

I booked 2 days tour for May 26 and 27 for 2 persons via online before departed to Beijing. A night before, the guide - Cynthia - called me to confirm the pick up in the next morning. It was an on time pick up. Cynthia was really nice, friendly and very informative. Her English was quite good too. She knows my mother speaks Chinese and doesn\'t speak English so she explained in English to other European tourists and me while she speaks Chinese to my mother. We spent about 1.5 hours at Great Wall then had lunch before heading to Ming Tomb. From Ming Tomb, on the way to our hotels she brought us to a traditional herbs store for foot massage. The massage was great, healing our exhaustment after climbing Great Wall. We were satisfied with the tour and the guide The next day the tour changed the guide (Wendy). Sorry to say but she was a lousy guide and it was a bad tour experience. Firstly she picked us up late around 15 minutes. In Forbidden City, Summer Palace and Temple of Heaven, she was really rushing us so we didn\'t have a chance to take photos and explore the beautiful landmarks. In Temple of Heaven we even only have 20 minutes to explore this place! She didn\'t explain a lot and most of her times just playing around and joking with other male tourists. She also gave us too much unnecessary time in jade and silk shops and let us wait for her in every shop. The most amazing thing, when the coach drove us back to hotel, she jumped out of the coach to go home when tourists were still in the coach. I\'ve never seen such a neglectful, irresponsible guide like her! Although her English was better than Cynthia but with her manner, I\'m not sure she\'s ready and capable to be a guide! I hope next time China Tour can select better guide.
