Hi Eileen ,
well you are going before me so hopefully you can give me some tips ?!

I went last year - you are in for a wonderful experience. Weather varied from misty with moderate temperatures, to hot and sunny. Because virtually everything is included, I only spent on presents etc. You need comfortable walking shoes - especially if you tackle the 'tough' section of the Great Wall!

Hi, i did this tour last dec for christmas,average temp - 8 !, ON THE WALL IT WAS -25 !!,dont expect to go to the hotel after your long flight, oh no, on the coach and 4hrs sight seeing before you get there,hotels were far above what you may expect, the oranisation while you are there is brilliant,you see so much more than it tells you on web site,only one meal , the noodle house was yuck, the rest very good if not a little, oh no not rice again,i defy anyone not to love the sweet potato in volcanic hot toffee coating, then dip in ice cold water, wow wow and give me more.pay lots of money here for good walking boots, or shoes, you will need them,the best £20 i spent was at the airport on a remote control helicopter, yes for me !,£65 here,and unbelievable fun, dont hesitate for a treat or present for man or boy,please bring me back another, but bigger ha ha,overall,so good im going to vietnam this christmas. if you get the right crowd,it will be your best time ever. Geoff.

hey Geoff ,
Thanks for the info I have a question you may be able to help with ?? I know all excursions are included in price but apart from gifts/souveniours is there anything I need extra money for & if so how much ??

[DavidG]

Hello,

As I said lower down, everything is included. Only extra (about £5) was to travel on the high speed maglev train - 260+ mph!
