Christina helped me buy a... - Christina helped me buy a suitcase. Ming tomb gardens were beautiful and Zhu di museum. Too many people at Badaling.

Perfect day trip to the Great Wall - Very good trip. Guide was friendly and very informative. There was additional tea tasting which was very good

Knowledge, friendly, and fun tour guide! - Early start for the great wall, because our tour guide was Knowledge he brought us to an open and empty entrance. I was able to capture almost solitary photos. Other parts of the tour were awesome, Min Tombs, jade factory and tea house. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Small group, I went with one other person.

Great Wall is very surprising - The Great Wall of China is one of the most amazing constructions in the world. The skills involved in building the Great Wall are impressive. In Chinese, it is known as the "wan li charng cheng," or "10,000 mile wall". The Great Wall is easy to get to from Beijng. You can make climb on the Great Wall when you're inspecting it, it's worth the effort and very surprising.

Amazing experience with great tour guides - I had a great day on this tour to the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs. The tour gave me easy access to each of these sights without having to rely on public transport or booking services. I highly recommend visiting the Great Wall to any tourist in Beijing, it is an incredible wonder.

Wonderful wall and tombs - Everything was very good, the only thing was that the Chinese interpreter who spoke very often and without raising her voice with our average English was a little harsh, and on the wall there were thousands of people, unlike in the tombs where there was no one. Overall very good

The Wall will always impress. - Our tour guide Michael was very informative and spoke near perfect English. The Ming Tomb tour is more like a museum and not quite what I had expected. The architecture including the huge wooden columns was the savior for me. I've been to other parts of the Wall before and this was just as impressive. The lunch stop at the jade factory was as expected. Mostly just a sales presentation, but the food was very good. We skipped the tea ceremony at the end, as we knew it would just be just another sales pitch.

Unforgettable experience - The guide was great and imparted a lot of knowledge. It was a shame that we didn't see the avenue with the statues at the Ming Tombs.

More of a shuttle service - Guide showed up promptly. As agreed. However it was difficult communicating with them before hand to verify the time. It would be nice if there was a chat option to chat directly with the tour company. I feel like the tour was a poor value for what I got. Basically it was a shuttle service. The guide spoke poor to moderately poor English and didn't offer much more than what you would find on a basic Google search. When asked difficult questions she was unaware of the answers. Nor did she attempt to find out. She was 100% confused as to where to go once we got to the wall. She did not know which window to go to, she did not know which shuttlebus to take, she did not know what tickets to buy. We wasted probably 90 minutes walking back-and-forth a few times because of it. Much like all of the other reviews it was a 100% high pressure hard sell at the tea place as well as the Jade "factory" (more of a retail store with vulture sales reps) the lunch was decent. Very stereotypical basic Chinese food but it tasted good. Towards the end of the day the driver and guide were speaking solely and Chinese. I used my translator to decipher what they were saying and the driver was complaining that it was a long day. The driver kept pushing to take us to other places (for a fee) then proceeded to tell the guy that it was "a waste of his day and not worth taking us around". He also made reference to somebody in our group negatively. Very pushy and heavy pressure sales tactics. I would say even a little bit shady. They got you from .8 point B and you saw the sites. If you don't care about the other stuff it's probably an OK tour.

Okay, not great - We visited all sites and Sam gave some historical background information. However, there were extra costs not mentioned before (140 RMB per person for the lift to the wall), extra (sponsored) stops to a jade factory and tea ceremony (we refused the tea ceremony) and Sam was a bit hasty and not very enthusiastic during the day.
