We wanted to see where the Great Wall meets the sea. This tour was a perfect day trip from Beijing. Our tour guide Maggie was friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. Her English is very good, and she was an efficient timekeeper so we were able to see the Old Dragon’s Head, climb the Great Wall, and visit the shanhaiguan pass, and still make the high speed train back to Beijing. She took pictures for us and helped us order an excellent lunch at a local restaurant known for its dumplings which were made on the spot. We couldn’t have asked for more.

It was different, but takes to long to get there and back. NO time there to do everything the add says. The guide was very good at her job and fun. Had to take the regular train back, for some reason. Felt like I was cheated out of my money, by that. If you have money to throw away, and a whole day with nothing to do. Then take this trip.

This really was a busy weekend in Beijing due to the holiday. Our trip on the train didn't start out well because no seats were available. However, our guide went above and beyond to do whatever it would take to get us something and she eventually succeeded. They picked us up on time at our hotel and dropped us off. It was a worthwhile trip and we had a great lunch also.
