The tour was professional and great value for money. The only things to be aware of were:
- there are some unmentioned sidetrips which may or not be of interest to attendees (Jade and Silk Shops) and which cost about 30 min stops each time. Allegedly the guide has no control over these government \"advised\" tourist stops.
- the foot massage sidetrip: you can pay for this (RMB20, about $3) which is probably OK if you want it.
- Be aware that the Badaling Great wall trip is not the most scenic of the various locations accessible from Beijing but it is the closest. most accessible and quickest to get to.
If the above provisos are acceptable (and some did like the shopping sideshows after the trip) then a great tour.
