- sangitt20240 contributions1 out of 7 wonders of the worldIt was an amazing experience specially the Great Wall of china and forbidden city the tour guide has a lot of hysterical knowledge which was worth listening to.Written January 17, 2025
- alexoG7139MI0 contributionsGreat Wall tourUnreal day out. Our tour guide Michael was outstanding and very insightful. Highly recommend this tour to anyone in that wants to see the wallWritten January 3, 2025
- HHS95940 contributionsIntuitive and smoothI enjoyed visiting the most spectacular attractions in Beijing with the tour guid. The tour was rich of knowledge and discussions. Everything went smooth. We stoped in the Olympics restaurant for delicious lunch. I highly recommend it for the best value.Written January 2, 2025
- 625pavlinab0 contributionsDay trip with JennyMy mother and I went on this tour and I have to say that we really enjoyed ourselves. First was Tiananmen square and then crossed the road to Forbidden city. Lots of walking done there. 10000 steps... Done! If you're central, they can pick you up from hotel, comfy little minibus with a/c. Then we had a lovely tea ceremony with the option to buy anything there... Lots of amazing choices including tea sets, mugs, teas, glasses etc then we headed off to the Jade factory which was really impressive, the carvings, the amount of work that goes into each piece... Wow! Lunch was next and it was really delicious. There were things to buy and look at... I really liked the wax figures dotted around. Hop onto bus and head to the Great Wall... Again impressed with the magnitude of it and we didn't even scratch the surface of the climb. And you have to imagine each stone being put into place... Speechless. The cable car ride there and back was an extra 125yuan? İ think... But worth it. Our guide Jenny was really super nice, super knowledgeable and loved to joke around. Could've stopped along the way but everyone decided they were too tired to do anything except go back to their hotels. Great day out, thanks Jenny. Love from Oz (your new grandmother) 😊Written January 1, 2025
- Trail564964953670 contributionsThe best tripEverything was wonderful, kind attitude, willingness, everything perfectly planned. After the agreement, it was no problem to pick us up at the airport and they took us to the agreed place according to the schedule. In addition to the planned places, we also went to a tea tasting and a place with real pearls with the possibility of shopping, The price also includes a very good buffet lunchWritten December 16, 2024
- catherinebI1110TC0 contributionsGreat day at the Ming Tombs and Great WallMichael was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed the tea tasting, which warmed us up after a cold day on the wall! Thank you!Written December 14, 2024
- yonahd20210 contributionsGreat experienceJenny was professional and very kind. She helped me with my stay in Beijing and answered any questions, gratefully. Thanks again.Written November 29, 2024
- E7956SMmartinb0 contributionsGreat value, excellent guide, a full day of fun, history and shots for the album. As Nike would say... just do it!Our tour guide, Mary Wang, was the first highlight of this excellent tour. The car was spacious, clean and comfortable... perfectly suited to the relatively short trip. The experience on the wall was pure magic (breathtaking in each sense of the word! We saw some people struggling for air). The chairlift to the top was a little surprising as it had been described as a cable car, but certainly better than the alternate long hike hike up to the Wall. The luge ride was OK, but too many people all going very slowly so the "thrills" were missing. Beware if you're over 60... they'll check most "older" looking passports and send you off to ride back down on the chairlift if they see you are 60 or over. A lot of people were very frustrated having queued in the cold for a long time, only to be sent away in disappointment. Our guide, Mary, made sure I got through without a passport cheque, although the guard complained that he, too, was being monitored and would be scolded for not checking. A surprisingly fun, happy and informative day, made all the better for Mary's cheery, intelligent and sensitive commentary and professional guiding skills. And super value for money. PS: we were surprised to meet two guys who had travelled from Beijing Capital airport for this tour instead of waiting out a 9 hour stop over at the airport... we didn't know that could be done and will certainly take note for future long layovers.Written November 23, 2024
- Awaisansari0 contributionsThe Great Wall Of China and Forbidden CityAmazing one-day tour for travelling solo to this place with a group tour knowing new people around and climbing The Great Wall Of China. Beautiful once a lifetime experience. Forbidden City gives you the feel of the old kings era and their fights.Written November 16, 2024
- 619jeffry0 contributionsTake a trip along China's Great WallChina's Great Wall is a barrier against foreign soldiers entering mainland China, who are described as barbarians. Access to China by northern soldiers were countered the Great Wall, manned by Chinese forces. The construction of the Great Wall of China began in 221 BC and continued off and on until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (1360-1644 AD). These days, visitors can take a trip to Badaling from Beijing and take a walk along the Great Wall of China that still exists today.Written November 9, 2024

- Navigator3980290 contributionsTour in beijingI had a very pleasant tour with our toyr guide Mr. Lee. Lee explained to us in detail and he made the trip more enjoyable with his good sense of humor. Highly recommend this tourWritten October 26, 2024
- Tim E0 contributionsGreat TourThe Tour was well organized and the stations were varied. Especially the trip to the great wall was amazing and I could see a lot of the wall.Written October 25, 2024
- ntpferreira0 contributionsGood option to one-day excursionThis is a good option to cover the three major highlights in Beijing only in one day. Nevertheless, for those who have to move to Empark hotel to start the tour they will be charged addionally and unfairly if they ask the taxi service provided by the tour guide. Also, the tickets to the cable car in the Great Wall are not included and you'll have to pay it apart. Overall, I'd buy it again due to the fact I had only one day to visit Beijing.Written October 24, 2024
- ang196910 contributionsGood to a pointEnjoyed greatly Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden city the lunch (which was very good) and jade factory followed by Great Wall at Badaling. At this point we thought we would be heading back to Beijing and the hotel. At this point the tour turned into a shopping expedition. Chinese medicine centre stop was extremely hard sell and not enjoyable at all. Trying to charge £1000+ and frightening people into buying medicines. The guide then wanted to take us to a silk seller and go looking for cheap fake handbags and watches but we refused and got off the bus as soon as we could. Had been on bus since 7am and could have been back at hotel by 4pm but was almost 6pm. The guide only seemed interested in selling at this point. Also was lead to believe would only be a group of no more than 9 but there were 12 in the group which made the mini bus not as spacious and waiting around for others increased.Written October 9, 2024
