Hi JPDM - the 360 was not the driver fee, just the cable car fee, entrance fee and tip for the driver. We used Sunflower Tours for two full days. Each day was $110 and $120 for two days and then $150 for the Great Wall. These fees were paid via Paypal before we left the USA. Sunflower came highly recommended by another Flyertalk friend @PLarue who was there the week prior. Sunflower was terrific. Again, not the cheapest but because we had a friend who had just experienced her service we went with it.

You can get a car to great wall cheaper than $150 USD but we wanted one with working seat belts and a driver that was trusted. We had precious cargo on board (our 7 year old son).

Same philosophy applied here as with the Tailor - we paid more than you can likely find if you shop around and play each tour guide off each other but why bother? saving an extra $25 - $50 and getting rock bottom pricing just wasn't that important to us. I'm a frugal shopper but the laws of diminishing returns kick in at some point. Guess that's why I love the points game. We take 10 - 12 trips a year mostly on points and always in business if international. We get hotels covered too. If I'm able to take what would otherwise be a 20,000 USD trip for 5,000 USD then I care less about squeezing the tour guides and the tailors who provide me an excellent service.

Cheers.
