Great day out

KellyD2507, 12-11-2019

It's a full day, the forbidden city is huge,you really can't appreciate how big the place is until you've been. And Tiananmen square is again massive. When you go to the great wall, see if the guide can take you to the unrestored part, it's as it was and there's no crowds, you really don't want crowds when your trying to climb those massive steps, one foot in front of the other

Awesome tour

Awesome tour. Everything covered off in one day with sufficient detail. Gail was soo good as a guide and kept out 9 year old interested the whole time!

Good Day Tour

The tour was well done. Our Guide was Liu and he was very good. He took a lot of extra steps to ensure a good trip. He also had a lot of knowledge. What we didn’t like is the lunch stop. Food was cold and poor standard. Rest trip was good with some jade store stop where we didn’t buy anything. Neither did others. So the store was very unhappy. It showed on their faces.

Forbidden City and Great Wall

Livingthegoodlyfe, 19-07-2019

First of all, our tour guide was wonderful. She made every effort to educate us on the culture and traditions of her homeland. Her English was good and personality was kind and friendly. Tiannamen square was amazing and we were lucky enough to be there to see the changing of the guard. The forbidden city, no fault to the tour company was insanely crowded and we rushed through shoving crowds and in hot conditions so not to say it wasn’t impressive but aside from a few nice photos didn’t get much out of the tour. I can only say go off-season or this is what to expect. The Great Wall however is amazing and worth every minute we spent there. It’s a really tough climb but worth it. There were two stops- a jade factory with lunch and a tea house both with nice presentation then high pressure sales which often accompany tours like this. Goods can be bought for 25% of their asking price which we did later in our stay at many stores and markets so it’s not worth the magic they weave when there. Overall it’s a good experience and I can’t speculate how to improve it much as the conditions dictate a large part of it. I recommend this group wholeheartedly.

Tour can be improved

Excellent and experienced tour guide Jacky. Bad vehicle with no proper air conditioning. Tour could have been completed in 5 hours if forceful stops at Jade Factory, Silk factory and Traditional Chinese tea were not included in the trip.
