A worthwhile day tour - We enjoyed the tour very much, Jenny our host was exceptionally nice and very knowledgeable, Jenny was punctual and kept us on time throughout the day to ensure we were able to visit all of the sites listed. We also paid extra to add on the Summer Palace which was worth including.
From a personal perspective we would not have wanted to waste time on the silk factory shop, it was not something that was of interest and we would have preferred more time at the listed sites.
Jenny was very helpful throughout the rest of the day in ensuring her guests only saw what they wanted, thank you Jenny.
We would certainly use the company again and would ask for Jenny to be our guide. Thank you.

Good sights - The sights were worth it, lunch was great, however the emphasis on shopping was really annoying. I would have given more stars if it was not for the shopping.

Wonderful site ... bad tour guide - The tour of the sites were wonderful except for the guide. She (Christina) was preoccupied with her mobile for probably 25% of the time and seem disinterested. We were lucky that there were 2 other visitors which made the tour a lot more fun. The sites were amazing and to be honest speaks for themselves. I would highly recommend visiting these sites in Beijing and consider them as MUST DOs but not with this tour.

I would not book the tour with Hantang International Travel Service - The Temple of Heaven is worth seeing. The tour guide rushed us through the main attractions so that he could bring us to the jade shop, the tea shop and the pearl place

this is a tourist trap.... - this is a tourist trap. The guide didn't enter the forbidden city, he couldn't tell he was a guide so we buy tickets and later he gave the money back, he asked to di only a very quick visit and reach him at the exit. Then he brought us (after a tea house in which we were supposed to buy) to a Traditional Medicine Hospital where a "professor" suggested to everyone to buy very expensive specific herbs and spices to treat diseases. ... and so on ...

Terrible do not got - A terrible experience, a shopping tour disguised as a real tour. Keep in mind for the forbidden city only 1 person in our group got the ticket the other 2 didn’t because the tour group said it was too busy and couldn’t get it. So they were forced to come to Jinshan park instead. Which is bs since they paid for the forbidden city. The tour guide wasn’t really knowledgeable just had basic facts down and couldn’t speak English. Got extremely angry I didn’t wanna do a scam shopping tour.

The guide said, "This is a shopping tour" - A terrible tour, just a disaster, don't throw your money in the trash. We were picked up from the hotel at 7:30, then we spent an hour searching for the third passenger, as the driver and guide could not figure out where the hotel was, it was a bad organization. On the way to the tour, the guide did not tell anything historical and interesting, and by the way, she speaks English very badly, very badly. And when, during the whole tour, she corresponded with someone and talked on the phone. We really didn'T like this tour. In the end, she began to insist that this was not a historical but a shopping tour. When we gave up shopping, she was very angry and angry. For a long time she did not want to take us back to the hotel, and finally on the way to the hotel she began to say that we should tip her and the driver. Well, decide if you want such an excursion for your money.
