  This was a great tour to see the wall with very few people! Dewit was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable! Highly recommend if you have the whole day available for the tour. Getting photos with no one else in them is pretty special! Lunch was delicious!

  I joined a trek on the Great Wall at Jinshanling with Dewit and it was an unforgettable experience. Dewit was an excellent guide who made the hike both enjoyable and informative. He knew the best spots for views and photos, shared history along the way, and encouraged me during the tougher sections. The pace was perfect, giving time to take in the scenery without feeling rushed. His friendly personality and knowledge made the day even more special. I would highly recommend Dewit to anyone wanting a memorable and well guided Great Wall adventure.

  This hiking tour of the great wall was the highlight of my Beijing trip! I had been to other sections of the wall before and this is by far the best one. The views are unbelievable and you actually get to walk through a large section of the wall (22 tower posts). We were a small group of 3, and our guide Luis was amazing, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. 100% recommend this experience

  An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! I met up with my guide, Dewit, at the station and we set off for Jinshanling. Upon arrival, we began our ascent toward the East Five Window Tower, a 30-minute climb that opened up to stunning views. From there, we continued west to Brick Crenel Tower (2 hours +/-). What made this hike so special was the peace and quiet—unlike the crowded sections of Badaling or Mutianyu, we practically had the Wall to ourselves. Jinshanling truly feels like a hidden gem. Dewit was a wealth of knowledge, sharing history and insights along the way, while also pacing the hike with well-timed rest stops. He even brought along an apple and a Snickers bar for each of us—a thoughtful energy boost right when it was needed! The route offered a mix of wild and restored sections of the Wall, with refreshment stands, souvenir stalls, and restrooms along the way. Near the end of the hike, Dewit surprised me with a certificate commemorating my climb. I had also purchased a medal at one of the shops, and together they made for a perfect keepsake photo. After descending, we capped the day with a delicious local Chinese lunch before heading back to Beijing. Huge thanks to Dewit for making this such a memorable experience! If you’re debating where to go, skip the crowded sections and head to Jinshanling—you’ll get breathtaking views, a more authentic hike, and an experience you’ll never forget. TL;DR: Amazing hike at Jinshanling with my guide Dewit—peaceful, scenic, and far less crowded than the popular spots. Great mix of history, nature, and adventure, topped off with a tasty local lunch. A true hidden gem!

  Our guide, Luis, was amazing! The entire tour was great. He was flexible adapting the tour to the groups needs and told us a lot of information about the Great Wall. This section is definetly the most beautiful one and there was almost no one there. Just Perfect!
