Dear Vee,
I'd have to say the Great Wall was the most amazing site we visited, but the Hutong tour was a close second. Emily was great, she had a lot of great information and provided the perfect amount of history and context while walking around. The Sunworld Hotel was great, the central location was perfect. The meals were good however a little more “touristy” than we would have liked. Yes, while I’m not usually the type of person to take a planned tour I did enjoy the ease and comfort that your company provided.
There is always a balance I feel that should be maintained between being a tourist (seeing all of the standard historical sites) and “living like the locals” (eating in local restaurants and experiencing local neighborhoods), I feel the experience was slightly geared towards a touristy experience, which most people would probably prefer. Traveling to China is the largest and most diverse culture experience I have ever had, truly a wonder and something I would recommend that everyone experience with an open mind. Embracing cultural differences with an open mind is the only way to travel.
