Would Recommend - Going in groups is the only way to travel in China. Guide was great. He took us to the Great Wall in the afternoon so we missed the crowds. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to hit all three places in one day. It was just enough time. Lee was our guide!

Reccommended and time-efficient day trip - I reccomend this tour! Well organised, effective and memorable. You will see the most well known sights and have a pleasant time. Our guide was very friendly and shared insights with us of the sights as well as chineese culture and history. We would hardly have been able to do so much in such short time without him! Tasty and big lunch that was friendly for europeans. The tea tasting is an excellent addition, which we enjoyed The package is definetly worth the price

Good option to one-day excursion - This is a good option to cover the three major highlights in Beijing only in one day. Nevertheless, for those who have to move to Empark hotel to start the tour they will be charged addionally and unfairly if they ask the taxi service provided by the tour guide. Also, the tickets to the cable car in the Great Wall are not included and you'll have to pay it apart. Overall, I'd buy it again due to the fact I had only one day to visit Beijing.

Good to a point - Enjoyed greatly Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden city the lunch (which was very good) and jade factory followed by Great Wall at Badaling. At this point we thought we would be heading back to Beijing and the hotel. At this point the tour turned into a shopping expedition. Chinese medicine centre stop was extremely hard sell and not enjoyable at all. Trying to charge £1000+ and frightening people into buying medicines. The guide then wanted to take us to a silk seller and go looking for cheap fake handbags and watches but we refused and got off the bus as soon as we could. Had been on bus since 7am and could have been back at hotel by 4pm but was almost 6pm. The guide only seemed interested in selling at this point. Also was lead to believe would only be a group of no more than 9 but there were 12 in the group which made the mini bus not as spacious and waiting around for others increased.
