Driver was rude and the tour guide was not qualified, neither of them took much interest in the tour. Badaling was changed to Mutianyu without prior consultation with us. Hours were wasted in Jade and Tea shops. When we said that we did not want to send time in shops, the tour guide said that we had to go because we booked a shopping trip. I have deliberately chosen this trip to avoid shopping! Such a shame that our visit to the Ming Tomb and Great Wall could have been so much better if we had a decent tour guide.

It was pretty good overall. They were on time to pick us up at the time that was mentioned. The schedule was followed accordingly and the information provided by our tour guide was interesting and insightful. The only bad thing was that we spent way too much time at the Jade factory, which is pretty much a store that has jade products. I would've much rather spent that time at the Great Wall.

The tour was good as it took us to the Great Wall that's what we wanted. It was a bit difficult understanding the guide. We only had 1 hour and 15 minutes to take the sky cable to wall, walk the wall and return. Wish we had a little more time. We had a pick up from the hotel followed by visiting the Ming tomb, visiting a Jade Factory shopping and lunch, the wall and visiting a tea shop.

The visit was extremely good but the timing was wrong. Do not go in Summer as half of the chinese nation visit this Badaling site. If you decided to go in summer I recommend to visit the lower North Wall before the Badaling, it is lower end of course but it is still part of the wall and not a lot of tourist and people. I should go to this place. But our guide is really nice and spoke english very well.
