“We had an excellent day out on this trip. Perfect if you are making only a short trip to Beijing and want to squeeze two big attractions into one day. Our guide Yoyo was lovely and will help you with anything you need, even with restaurant recommendations in Beijing. The itinerary was tight but absolutely spot on, giving you just enough time for both the east and west sides of the wall. My only note is that some of the instructions could have been described more simply.”
