This was a really nice trip. Our tour guide Alice was phenomenal! She spoke really good English and knew a lot about the history of the Ming Tombs and the Great Wall of China. The lunch was really good as well. I will definitely use this service again!

It was the Great Wall of China. What more can I say? It was an excellent experience.

What a great experience. The guidebooks said this was not a good spot to see the wall, but I completely disagree. If you don't have much time in China, this was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

Very good entertaining with an English speaking guide. The bus used for the tour was not very comfortable and could have been better, but it was a good tour overall for visiting The Great Wall and Ming Tomb. The jade factory and tea house visits were more of a "sales" visit and was not necessary. Avoiding these visits could have saved half a day or so.

The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I was a little disappointed with Badaling, and I expected the wall to be a lot bigger than it was. Still glad I did it though.

Good itinerary. Tour guide had given us a choice of visiting the steeper pass and the gentler pass, without referring to the name of the pass. Most participants of the tour had chosen the steeper Juyongguan pass, when they may have been looking forward to the more famous Badaling pass.

Interesting trip, nice to see how this wall got built.

Seeing the Great Wall was great. Ming Tomb was disappointing other than seeing one only which lasted about 20 minutes. Included lunch was pretty poor with food very dry and overcooked.

The weather wasn't great the day of our tour, but the tour itself was still good. The Ming Tombs weren't as good as we expected, but walking on the Great Wall is an experience not to be missed.

I thought this tour was very good, but would have been better with a different tour guide. We ended up following another tour group so we could hear about what we were seeing.

Overall the tour was okay. If you've never visited Asian tombs before, it's worth doing. I would have liked to have spent a little more time at the Great Wall and a little less time shopping at the various factories. The tour is good for someone who wants an easy day of sightseeing without having to work out the transportation kinks themselves.

Going to the great wall was the best experience. About our tour guide, he could have been more interesting and fun.
