  The trip to the wall and ming tombs itself was very good. Without it being written in the program, you also visit a jade factory and a tea ceremony. The places themselves are good and interesting, but they are pushing you to buy something overpriced there.

  To experience the Great Wall of China is an unforgettable experience. The Ming Tomb we visit in this tour, is very short of being great. Last time I came to China (15 years ago) I visited one of the Tombs through the Sacred way, that was really worth and impressive! Unfortunately, this tour took the easy route and didn’t take us to the premium one. I was very disappointed!

• Nice day trip

  Our guide, Michael was great and took good care of us, explained the history and answered all questions. We left early morning which allowed to avoid crouds. First you visit only one tomb (the main one), then go to the great wall. It's interesting but ultra touristic, you have to leave the car and take a shuttle bus to the wall. You can take a funicular up (extra 120 Yuan) or walk, I strongly recommend walking, it is steep but you can just go as far as you can/want, it looks similar everywhere. You have about 1.5 there which allows you to hike all the way north to the last available tower and back it you're reasonably fit. Then lunch, option for the local restaurant option (rather than wetsern bufet) for a more authentic experience. Then they take tou to a jade factory and tea house which are just tourist traps but you don't have to buy anything. I think they might get a cut if you do as things ar of course overpriced One star less only because I was somehow hoping for a less mass-tourism experience at the wall. Guide and overall organisation were great.

• Great experience!

  Great Wall is a must when traveling to Beijing! We did choose Badaling as we could match with the Ming Tombs and the visit to the Jade Shop. Our guide Jenny was just amazing! She did explain all required details for the visit, took us to the cable car and showed us the best path to follow to get the best views, and we were not disappointed! At the Ming Tombs we were a little bit down, as the back burial area was closed at the time of our visit, but anyway a nice visit. The Jade shop has amazing products, although a little on the upper side of anyone's budget. And the complimentary lunch at the store was also very nice. A very good day!

  Lisa was a great tour leader. She explained everything clearly and gave us the context needed to immerse ourselves in the experience.
