Great tour - Started off with driver picking us up at hotel. Now we did this tour in the off season. 5ppl on the tour compared to 20 in. High season. Yes it was cold; but it was manageable with a nice coat with layered clothes. Plenty of time at the Great Wall; option of walking it or gondola. Then it was time for lunch that was included. Don’t get hopes up as a 5star meal, it was decent. It is buffet so all ya can eat. We did the jade factory so you can buy a trinket. They will haggle so don’t be afraid to. Then Ming tombs, mehhhh it was ok, but the history lesson guide gives is worth it. Then to a tea ceremony that was kinda cool. Yes it’s a chance for them to get a kick back but remember this is all an experience so enjoy it. Michael our Guide was knowledgeable and kept us all on track to enjoy the tour. I say do this tour!

Must do experience - Michael, our guide was the best! Really knowledgeable with the history. Some of our group wanted to hike up the wall, some wanted to take the fanicular. Michael was a pro at organising both ways for the group so that everyone could enjoy the experience in their own way. The Great Wall is a must do experience, added to that the visit to the Ming Tomb, Jade tour and tea ceremony this tour was an amazing day exploring China.

Take a trip along China's Great Wall - China's Great Wall is a barrier against foreign soldiers entering mainland China, who are described as barbarians. Access to China by northern soldiers were countered the Great Wall, manned by Chinese forces. The construction of the Great Wall of China began in 221 BC and continued off and on until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (1360-1644 AD). These days, visitors can take a trip to Badaling from Beijing and take a walk along the Great Wall of China that still exists today.
