Day 1: Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace involved a great deal of walking and a boat trip on the lake would have taken us much nearer the Summer Palace than the boat ride along the approach canal.
Day 2: Great Wall Iis a must visit but we were disappointed when we were arbitarilly declared too old to use the toboggan run.We are both reasonably fit 70 year olds and it would have been helpful to have been told when booking that there is a policy of rejecting anyone over 60. Acrobat show in the evening was superb, but we were unhappy at being dumped at it on our return from the Great Wall and told it was not part of the tour and we must find our own way back to our hotel. Your guide Ha Ha really was no joke.
Day3: Olympic Park, pandas, Buddhist temple, rickshaw ride and family home meal was an excellent day and conducted by Helen in a well paced and informative manner.
The inevitable shopping opportunities on all three days were not excessive and we do appreciate that they are necessary to help keep down the cost of the tours.
