“Mike the tour guide is a caring person and takes lovely pictures.

I mean I appreciate that he saw I wasn’t happy and organised a car to the Great Wall and dinner but still: I had to pay extra to go to the Wall, the entrance fees overall are not included, didn’t get water as written in the description and I didn’t learn more…”
