Private Day Trip: Outdoor Hot Spring Experience and Mutianyu Great Wall

Spring trip to Portugal

We loved our trip to Portugal. Pedro did a great job of listening to our needs and planning an amazing Portugal experience for the four of us. Our drivers were exceptional. Carlos and Ricardo were especially informative, fun and flexible during our day long rides. The boutique hotels were special. We feel in love with the Hotel Britania in Lisbon. This was a perfect place to begin our journey. We also loved the hotels in Lagos (beautiful view of ocean) and the Miragem in Cascais(lovely pool and spa). The breakfasts were delicious and the staffs at these hotels were friendly and helpful. The only hotel that disappointed us was the hotel in Porto, the Eurostar. This was not Pedro's fault as he had given us options and we chose to be on the river. This hotel was sterile feeling and not particularly welcoming. The itinerary was perfect and we loved all places we visited. The tour guides, Silvia in Lisbon and Sarah in Porto, were excellent. Our day in the Douro Valley was magical and we are all still talking about the amazing food we had at our lunch at the winery. We are home with amazing memories that will stay with us and loving the country and people of Portugal.

Great experience, a bit hasty

We took the trip to the Great Wall and finished at the hot springs. Because we went on a Sunday, there was traffic delaying us and long queues resulting in just a bit over one hour walking the wall. Lunch was great, and the hot springs really good. But even here we just had an hour and a half. The day started at 08.30 and we were back at the hotel 18.30. Our guide Miko, and the driver was great! Miko gave us a good history lesson about the wall and Beijing.

Response from the operator: Dear Friend Thank you very much for your feedback, we will try our best to improve our services in the future. During the weekend,especially during the peak season.So highway have traffic, and long queues for the cable car at the Great Wall.These condition is hard to control.In the future, we will try to let the tour start early like 7:00am or 7:30am, to avoid the traffic and try to arrive the Great Wall at Mutianyu when it open. Good to know you enjoyed the hot spring,and satisfies with your tour guide Miko. Suggestions for this tour Try to avoid weekends during the Peak Season( March-April,Sep-Oct) or we can try to start the tour early 7:00am. Thank you again for your valuable time and review. It is very important for our us. Regards Discover Beijing Tours

Fantastic day out - our guide was so...

<p>Fantastic day out - our guide was so kind and knowledgeable. We were taken to an amazing local restaurant where we ate the best traditional Chinese food imaginable. We took our 12 month old daughter, which they were extremely accommodating for and despite our initial worries, we had no difficulties negotiating the great wall with a baby. Truly a day to remember - thanks soo much!!</p>

Excellent experience. Informative, relaxing, and enjoyable.

Lucy Lee was our tour guide, and she was an absolute pleasure. Was easy to converse with throughout the trip, and she was able to give us a great deal of interesting information regarding the sites we were seeing, and Chinese history in general. The tour of Matiyanu was fantastic. We proceeded to have lunch at a nearby local place which had delicious food. I can't remember what it was called but they had a beef/cauliflower dish which was great. The hot springs were an excellent way to cap it off before being returned to the airport for our flight.
