Unique private experience! - We did the Eastern Qing tomb's tour only since we had visited the Great Wall earlier. The tour company was flexible in accommodating our schedule, not to mention was responsive as we booked the tour months ahead of our trip to Beijing.
Lucy was our tour guide and was very knowledgable - she was able to compare and contrast the Qing tomb to that of the Ming one, which we have not visited - giving us a fuller context of ancient Chinese cultures, in this case, what death and afterlife meant.
We strongly recommend this tour if you look to experience more Beijing as this gives us a rare, unique glimpse of Chinese history beyond those of standard tourist places such as Forbidden City, etc.
