the tour itself I would not recommend for several reasons - when up at the wall it is spent as free time and there is actually no guiding or thorough explanation for the wall itself -it was 140 yuan for the cable car round trip so was an additional expense - for lunch we were taken to the golden palace where we visited a Jade Factory - I did not like how this was a mandatory visit despite not being listed on the itinerary Treat it as a shuttle service where you will be taken to additional stops at an extra expense

I would not recommend this tour if you are looking for a guided experience for these places - treat it as a shuttle where you will be taken to additional places outside of the itinerary listed

Great day tour package embedding 2 interesting visits in the vicinity of Beijing. The Badaling section of the great wall has the advantage to be closer than others, but can be quite crowded. The day of the tour it was nevertheless bearable thanks to the early arrival. If you want to take pictures of yourselves without anyone around this is definitely not the right place ! But the view of the wall sprawling across the mountains is nevertheless quite spectacular. The Ming tombs is also interesting, with a few additional cultural artefacts beside the typical buildings architecture. The tour guide was quite good, and was flexible to allow us to visit the underground tomb, which isn't included in the official tour, at no additional cost except the price of the tickets. This was very appreciated as this "13th tomb" is quite unique.

Christina helped me buy a suitcase. Ming tomb gardens were beautiful and Zhu di museum. Too many people at Badaling.

I had a great day on this tour to the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs. The tour gave me easy access to each of these sights without having to rely on public transport or booking services. I highly recommend visiting the Great Wall to any tourist in Beijing, it is an incredible wonder.
