We booked the budget coach tour, 2 days, they changed the schedule so we visited the things in the city the first day. Our tour guide was just so-so. She explained many things for another Tawainese couple that was with us in Chinese, but spent less time explaining for me and my Korean friend. We went thorugh the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, and Temple of Heaven, and we finished in the afternoon, she gave us time to take pictures along the way.
It was a good price, and very convinient way to see everything in two days however. As far as the second day, my Chinese friend joinded us and the size of our group grew from 4-to 8 people. It was much better. We went to the great wall, and the tour guide gave a lot of good information on the bus ride. She was a little friendlier, and she gave ample time to see everything. I did not feel rushed. The meals on both days were so-so, and the tour took two shopping stops on the first day and the second day. I like to visit the pearl, jade, and clusiote factories, as the pieces are pretty, but to high priced. The tea shop was beautiful, but also high priced.
Overall, this package is a good value, and convienient to see everything, i think the experience can depend on your enthusiam of your tour guide. I would reccomend it to someone else to do it, and would also tell them what to expect.
