Great Wall and summer palace, very good combination for one day tour, relaxing, not too much walking. Loved this tour, small gorup size, 5 people, very comfortable with a 7 seats van. Our tour guide is very nice as well, very helpful, and knowledgeable, provided lots of information about the attractions. We had lots of fun during the tour, highly recommended！

Great 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.

Had a great time. Tour had to be changed due to a military parade but they handled it well. Suzie, our guide, was excellent. Full of fun and enthusiasm. Met loads of new people, saw the Wall, had a fab day 🙂

The tour had to be changed at the last minute because the Mutianyu section was closed due to bad weather. Keith quickly arranged an alternative at a smaller, much less crowded section of the Wall, which turned out to be a great experience. His English is excellent. For lunch, however, we were taken to a large jade shop with an attached restaurant clearly intended for sales purposes. This stop was not mentioned in the program, and had we known in advance, we would have preferred to avoid it.
