Was called the morning of tour to say cannot pick you up, only to eventually pick us up because I had only just arrived and had no money yet. I booked this tour because it included lunch and bottled water throughout the day. When on boat the bus I was told water was not included, when I pushed the point the tour guide got short with me and then gave me 1 bottle and said that was it. I had to purchase all future water. When at the Great Wall, 2 of our tour members took a long time to return so he left them behind!! They did go back and pick them up but still, during this time the guide was rude and cranky to us, yelling at us to hurry up. Barely let us finish our lunch. His time management was very poor, the day started out poorly because t-square and forbidden city was closed, instead of going straight to the Great Wall he messed around and wasted time in the morning.
We got a good look at the Great Wall, very quick look at the forbidden city. The tour itself is ok, the tour guide was poor.

Wow! What a way to see the city and learn about the history of China.
My guide, Tina, spoke perfect English and took her time to explain things to us at every sight as well as giving us enough time to take quality photographs.
This time of year is low season so it was only myself and two friends on the tour and the sights weren't overcrowded.
The lunch included is basic and being a vegetarian I was limited, however buying extra items wasn't too expensive.
The only downside to this tour were the visits to the Jade Factory and "Traditional Tea Room" - which was more of a shop, as these visits felt more like money making schemes than authentic experiences, and the items were extremely expensive.
That said, I didn't feel obligated or forced into buying anything which was refreshing.
