Visited here on our first full day in Beijing. Miko our tour leader and the driver picked us up from the hotel which is very convenient in China since not a lot of people speak english. The Great Wall was an interesting walk though a little slippery and very cold when we visited. Miko was very professional in giving us the history of the wall and answered all our questions. He was very keen of talking pictures for us which meant we could keep our gloves on. Had a lunch at a traditional tea house which was also very good as you can taste what the Chinese home cooking is. Ming tombs was also interesting although a bit of a downer after the amazing Great wall. Miko also helped us do some shopping after the tour. Don't usually do these kinds of tours but I loved this one.
