This was a great tour for a morning in Beijing. It was very interesting to hear about a lot of Chinese history during the Golden Week from our guide who is studying to get her PHD in Chinese History. Both locations were very busy, but our guide picked spots at each location where we could walk and stand and be out of the way of the crowds. I would highly recommend this half day tour!
