This was a great tour. Our tour guide Linda was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. The lunch was great, with more than enough food. The kids loved the toboggan ride down from the Great Wall. A great way to see the main sights of Beijing in a short timeframe.

Albert has been a fantastic guide. We had the chance to visit the most important highlights of the city, avoiding the queue and enjoying the Chinese culture the first of January. As icing on the cake, we ate very good local food prepared by a Chinese family. I would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to have a quick flavour of Beijing.

If you want this part of the Great Wall almost to yourself, then a winter trip should be on your schedule. Forget all the crowds, this trip gives you a chance to see the magnificence of The Wall. Yes it can be cold, but so what? Our guide Linda provided a calm and knowledgable service - too often guides fill you with a head full of trivia you don’t need. The choice for a lunch which locals use and love was a delight. The traffic in Beijing made the Forbidden City tour a little rushed, but it is unmissable. Thanks again, Linda
