★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 87 reviews · from $144

Beijing evening tour pairing Peking duck with a Chaoyang Theatre acrobatics show, hotel transfers, and VIP seating for $144.41.

“This tour is not value for money. Guides role is just to pick up you at the hotel, bring to the circus hall, then to the dinner and back to hotel. The show was acceptable but I saw much more impressive things even in Bulgaria last summer. Beijing duck served during dinner was already sliced, cold and not tasty. I think it was cooked in advance and may be not the same day. The cafe itself was empty, it was cold and smelled chlorine - bon appetite. I assess that costs for this tour by the agency are more than twice as less than we paid including tickets, taxi, guide…”

“GREAT WALL REVIEW I and a friend of mine transited through China for a week and had the chance to visit the Great Wall by booking this tour. As to the cost, we concluded that for the completion of the service, its cost and its long duration (see as a positive tract), this was the best (and considering all alternatives to see the same things in a way the most affordable too) option to opt for. Our guide, who goes by the English name Myco (or Myko), used the long journey from Beijing to the Wall to first introduce us to some aspects of Chinese everyday life, which we would…”

“We really enjoyed this tour and our guide was great! We tried many different foods which we would not find in Europe and would not search out. There was plenty of food for really big eaters so make sure you are hungry before going. The only suggestion would be to offer different food tours as we understand there are also a couple 'snack' streets which would be a nice option as well.”
