This was a fantastic tour. We covered so much ground but nothing ever felt rushed. The tour of the Great Wall, especially, is a once in a lifetime experience. Our tour guide Murphy was incredible.
Great tour that was high quality.

The day was amazing with all the sites visited Tiananmen Square, Forbidden Palace, Tea House, Jade site, and the Great Wall. Lunch was also great with plenty of options and set in a nice casual environment with great service.

Our guide was nice and knowledgeable. But even though all the group members had paid for the entrance to the forbidden city they were told to buy tickets at the gate and this delayed our trip over an hour. This left is just less than an hour at the Great Wall which was disappointing. After all the planning we did not get to spend time at the Great Wall.
Very good excursion
