You do not need an agency for either the FC or Summer Palace. Both can be reached easily by taxi or public transportation and then you can walk around on your own.
And agree with the above, for the Great Wall, all you need is a driver to get you there.
We just took a taxi from the airport. We got in the regular taxi line and waited at most 5 minutes. The cost was extremely cheap. I think it was the equivalent of maybe $15USD to get to our hotel in the center of Beijing. There's no reason to use the train with taxis that cheap. Like post 1 said, you do need to have the name and address of the hotel printed in Chinese. Drivers won't speak any English.
