2.00While our tour guides were knowledgeable, the company demands extra money 24 hours before departure on the tour. If you don't pay, then you don't have a tour. I paid the extra amount, but I was also shorten on time at an attraction. If you have another option, choose it.
Very complete tour

Fabulous tour of major Beijing sites and Great Wall

5.00Our group of 5 all had a tremendous time seeing the major sights of Beijing and packed a lot into the schedule over 2 days. On Day 1 of the tour covering inner Beijing, our guide David organised everything immaculately from transport to admission tickets and a delicious lunch as well as guiding us through the ubiquitous security checks. He offered us additional tourism options which enhanced our Beijing experience. His friendly manner and willingness to answer questions were very much appreciated and helped to make it a most memorable day. On Day 2 we really enjoyed the Great Wall (arrived early in the morning avoiding the crowds) and Summer Palace illuminated by Keith's interesting explanations of the historical background delivered with engaging humour throughout. The toboggan ride down from the Wall was a wonderful fun highlight.
