  We had a great time with Lisa as our tour guide. On top of taking us to the Great Wall, Tiananmen, and the Forbidden City, she also took us to a jade factory and a tea house where we saw traditional Chinese culture and crafts. She was a fantastic guide and it was our favorite day in Beijing!

  That there is a lot of walking and not suitable for someone with mobility issues. Very informative . Did not feel comfortable with staff at the Jade shop following us around. The pick up was disastrous as I was in the vehicle sat outside a hotel for 15 minutes and it was the wrong hotel. After a long day was then in the bus until the last drop off and then had to change back into another vehicle.

• Perfect if you have a short stay in Beijing!

  The pick up was right on time, comfortable vehicle, and the tour was well planned for the day. We were a group of 3 when I went so it was not an overwhelming group unlike many other groups you see in the city. Michael was awesome and he really took the time to explain everything to us, answer all our questions and even suggested other tours to discover more of Beijing. I travelled in the low season so all 3 locations were not crazy packed, which was really great! Visiting Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square at sunrise is really something I'll remember all my life! The buffet lunch we had was also really lovely, the selection of Chinese food was great and the food tasted really good! We were also taken to a Tea House at the very end of the tour (not mentioned in the tour description at the time). That was really lovely specially on a cold evening. We got to taste various teas, the staff was very lovely and explained all the benefits of the traditional teas to us, and how to make them. At the end you also get to buy some if you like. The only comments I have are about the cigarette smell in the car everytime we'd come back from a visit. Maybe the driver smoked while we were away? It was not very pleasant and my jacket smelled of cigarette when I got back home. Also, the Jade Factory is more of a shop where the staff is really trained to get a sale out of you. They are not rude or anything but they don't give up, so be firm if you don't want to buy anything. When they said 'factory', I was expecting to see more of the process of the raw material but I was somehow directed to spend more time in the shop. I ended up buying something even if I had no intention to from the start.
