It was the perfect way to make time of our quick stop in Beijing and see the Great wall. Tony our guide was very helpful, great english, he staid with us the whole time and made sure we maximized our time. Just be mindful when you book the tour from which airport you are flying in, I missed that and our airport was further away so we had to pay quite an extra amount for the drop off.
