It was an amazing experience that we will never forget. Moreover, the food was the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Our guide, Keith, was considerate, knowledgeable, and humorous. However, my wife and I agree that we would have loved to spend more time at the Great Wall. Hence, I need to subtract a star because of the time management which has some room for improvement.
