We only had a short layover in China and were thrilled to get such a wonderful tour with our excellent guide, May Wang. She spoke fluent English and made the experience so much more valuable to us with her great knowledge. May was professional and courteous as well as personable and friendly. She was prompt and by securing all the tickets and passes for us and capably kept us moving to maximize our brief time in China.
We enjoyed our tour of the Mutianyu Great Wall, a traditional Jade-carving studio, Tiananmen Square, and the Temple of Heaven and its surrounding gardens, with included lunch. May took and emailed her wonderful pictures of us at all the sights so the trip will long be remembered!
The price of this tour is high, though, compared to similar tours that pick you up from your hotel. We also had a surprise charge of 240 CNY for a chair lift (not cable car) ride up to the Great Wall even though the tour description said the Great Wall was included.
