It was an amazing experience walking The Great Wall of China!!! There are truly no words to describe it!!! The culmination of going to The Beijing Zoo, seeing those adorable Pandas and having lunch with a Chinese couple will be such a beautiful memory. I enjoyed every minute of my tours in Beijing.

This was my favorite tour of all days tours I did. The lama temple and giant Buddha's were my favorite. The lunch in the hutongs was a great experience as well to understand traditional living. The guide was the best part. I believe her name was Ouyu. of all my guides she was the only one that made sure I understood how to get back to my hotel it was in an odd area that the bus couldn't pull up to. She spoke great English and had a wonderful sense of humor. Highly recommend, even if only one day in China!

This is a really good tour that covers a lot of ground in a short period of time especially given the traffic that seems to be everywhere in Beijing. The trip to the Zoo is really just an opportunity to see the Panda's and not much else but it seemed that thats all most were interested in anyway. The tour guide was knowledgeable, prompt and very polite.
