You can choose to have the lunch before or after you enjoy the Wall.

5.00Keith was a great tour guide. He gave us some good background about the Great Wall and guided us through all the logistics of the visit before giving us free rein to climb and explore the Wall as we pleased. I also appreciated that he started the tour early in the day because we were able to beat all the crowds. His tour of the Summer Palace was very humorous and provided such interesting history. He offered various options of what highlights we could visit within the humongous palace area so that we could pick what to prioritize. The van experience was also incredibly comfortable and convenient.

5.00Great tour with Suzi who fast tracked us to the great wall entrance, with the cable car lift and a thorough walk through the Summer Palace. She took us to a tea house for tea tasting. It was quite good. Extremely punctual pick up from the hotel and equally well timed drop off. It was great that with the peak travel season, everything went exactly to plan.
