I have been in China and The Great Wall was realy full of tourists, but only in one direction. Other side of the wall was empty so we went there. The same in Thailand – beach from the movie with DiCaprio – one day full, second day early morning empty. And Angkor Thom in Cambodia we also had luck – only few tourists early in the morning. All depends, if you travel organized with group of other tourists or independent. Very bad experience was elephant riding, never do that!
Travel independently, research your destination and be willing to put up with some minor inconveniences. Go to Rome in winter to avoid the huge crowds, the Great Wall is what it is- Great! So there is plenty of it to see, you can hire a private guide, including transport for almost nothing. As for Stonehenge, there are other magnificent places like Avebury or the Rollright Stones. Cannaregio in Venice is a quiet,and peaceful district, full of quaint cafes and was the Jewish Ghetto so there is lots of history. Just go a few blocks away from the Grand Canal and you’ll feel like you’re in the Venice that you imagined!
