5.00We wanted to do the Summer Palace and Great Wall but then head directly to the airport afterwards, and it was really flexible to get that added to our schedule. Our driver, Jim, had all the tickets ready, got us tickets for the chair lift / toboggan as well, and everything was really smooth. WeChat was easily used to coordinate everything.
