Very efficient and well organised. Unfortunately even without having taken the dinner option there was not enough time to do everything. We did the tram tour and all the walking paths but could not go to the show "creatures of the night" because the bus to go back left at 9.45PM. I would suggest another hour, leave the zoo at 10.45PM and the whole evening would have been perfect.

Fantastic sights, not to be missed when going to Beijing. We were only 3 people on this trip in a bus for about 20, so that part was comfortable. The guide (Jacky) gave us a lot of historical information but spoke English with a very strong accent so it was not always easy to understand him fully. He had the good idea to visit the wall in the afternoon so there were not many too people. Unfortuanately it was a very cloudy day so the views were very limited.The entire day was great up until the end where the driver wanted to drop me somewhere 10 minutes walking from the hotel which I refused because I did not have a clue were I was. This made him really p....d off so he drove like a madman for the rest of the way complaining loudly in Chinese to the guide. This was extremely rude and uncomfortable for me.

Perfect organisation. I was very lucky because I was the only person that had booked this tour for that day so I got the VIP treatment. Nice car, driver (David) and guide (Sheryl) all to myself.Sheryl was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English. She gave me the time I needed on all the sites. I never felt rushed which is often the case in these type of tours.Unfortunately it was very cold especially for the visit to the Summer Palace. I would like to see that one again when the gardens are green.Lunch was good but much too early for me (11 am) so I could not really eat much.
The tour ends quite early in the afternoon which left me enough time to also go and visit the Temple of Heaven which is something I suggest they could add to this tour so that people with limited time can cover the main sights in 2 days.
For my second day I booked "Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen square"

Zoo is fantastic but the breakfast was a bit of an anti climax for me. I was expecting to be able to interact with the orangutans but they just bring them out to sit on the side for a photoshoot. I would advise to skip the breakfast and spend more time in the zoo
