Beijing Acrobatic Show and Peking Duck Banquet Night Tour
Beijing, China
My Rating

Meal was just average, staff were not interested and made little effort. I had expected the duck to be carved at the table but instead they just brought out a small plate of pre-carved slices. However food wasn't too bad overall.
Acrobatic show was excellent, made up for the average meal by far. A large audience, good seats and an incredible show.

Terracotta Warriors Essential Full Day Tour from Xi'an
Xian, China
My Rating

Overall a very good tour, I had expected a group tour but (I guess due to no-one else paying) it was a private tour. Guide had excellent English and was very knowledgeable.
Didn't really need the tour of the Terracotta Warrior workshop, 2 minutes of how they make reproductions then left to 'browse' the shopping area. Overly expensive and once we had left the guide told us that's not the best place to purchase reproductions anyway!
The rest of the day was excellent though, meal was pretty good, plenty of food. The warriors were amazing. Would highly recommend the tour, just don't waste money at the workshop.
