Traveler reviews
Fantastic day exploring tombs and Great Wall
Our tour with Wendy was fantastic! Pickup from our hotel was so convenient, and we had a smooth ride with our driver. Wendy taught us so much, not just about the site but about Chinese history and culture, as well as other important sites in the city. We also had a great lunch as vegetarians at a fun buffet - salads, stir fried greens, noodles, rice…I would absolutely book again, highly recommend!
Great Tour with Wendy!
What an amazing tour! Our guide Wendy was so friendly and informative. During our tour of the Ming Tombs, Wendy taught us all about the Sacred Path, the significance of each statue leading to the emperor’s tomb, the spirit of the emperor returning to the Soul Tower… I could go on, but I think you’ll just have to book the trip and see how wonderful it is for yourself! Wendy also took us to a jade factory to learn about the symbolism and significance of jade, arranged a vegetarian buffet lunch (and offered us alternatives if we weren’t happy with the vegetarian options), and taught us about the history of the Great Wall. She even taught us a little Chinese! I would highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in the history of the Ming Tombs and the Great Wall. Wendy was a very friendly and accommodating guide who answered all our questions (and she also speaks great English). Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
A fantastic day of learning and sightseeing!
I highly recommend this tour! Wendy was so kind and knowledgeable. We learned a lot not just about the sites we visited, but about Chinese culture and history in general. Pickup from our hotel was super convenient. We were able to have a vegetarian lunch buffet which was very fun and yummy! A beautiful day of history, culture, learning and nature.
great trip
We really enjoyed the tour despite cold weather. The tombs and sacred road ornamented with stone animals are a must-see. Jerry, our guide, was very friendly and helpful. His English was good. Picked up on time. Chinese food chosen by Jerry were tasteful and excellent.. Thanks a lot
Such an amazing tour! Lily picked...
<p>Such an amazing tour! Lily picked us up at our hotel and gave us some history on the way to the Wall. We hiked up two different spots on the wall before heading to the Sacred Path and Ming Tombs. Lily was flexible to allow us to go more quickly as we only had the two of us. We even got in a few other pics at attractions on the way back to the hotel. I would highly recommend this tour! A</p>
