Small group and plenty of time to enjoy the sights - I had an absolutely amazing time on this tour with our guide Judy. We got plenty of time on the great wall to see and enjoy the sights and the explanations at the jade factory were fascinating. Lunch was delicious and Judy did a fantastic job of guiding us through the whole day with plenty of information about Beijing and its history - particularly when it came to the Ming tomb. The group was very small (only four of us) so it felt very personal and not rushed at all.

Great Wall! - Had a trip with Ms Jennier and Mr Wang (Driver) to Bataling great wall (route 3) on a off peak day. Great planning and did not have to queue, had great tips to not over spend on attractions and no pressure to shop. Although we did buy some jade pi xiu for luck. Went to Chang ling tomb which was quite boring but ok to experience the culture. Went to Greatwall , 90min is more than enough, quite tiring. Went to golden palace for lunch and jade shop. Went to a tea culture shop to experience some Chinese tea culture. Had a private tour for the price of group tour as there was only 2 of us! Do tip them if you enjoyed their service.

Great Wall of China with Joe - Great tour of the Great Wall with Joe. He was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. He taught us a lot about Chinese history, including the Ming Dynasty, the Dragon Lady, and the last emperor. Really interesting experience, highly recommend.

For Mary the tourist guide places speak slower and not take people to drink tea with out their consent - The great wall was a great experience. I had a hard time understanding the tour guide, because she did speak to fast. I also did not like that they took us to a jewelry store before lunch and to a tea store to consume or buy products. I did not like how they try to pursue us to purchase tea and jewelry
