Our guide Summer, at the Great Wall of China was knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience enjoyable. She shared interesting stories and historical facts in a simple and engaging way. She was patient, happy to answer questions, and always made sure we were comfortable. She also helped us find the best photo spots and kept the tour relaxed and fun. It was a wonderful experience thanks to her warm and friendly attitude. Highly recommended!

The arrangement that Sunny made for the experience was perfect. From the hotel pick up to the drop at the bullet train. Then the arrival at Beijing. The day was beautifull and enjoyable. Coco the tour guide was very kind and professional. It was a raining day but I still have a great experience and beautifull pictures. I made as schedule back to Shanghai. Thanks Sunny

We had an amazing experience on this Great Wall tour—it was a long day, but completely stress-free from start to finish. The service was incredibly well organized. Our driver picked us up right from our hotel in Shanghai and personally walked us into the train station and onto the train, making sure we were settled into our seats. When we arrived in Beijing, Sunny and her driver were waiting for us right at the station exit, which made everything seamless. From the moment we met her, Sunny stood out—she is warm, engaging, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. The drive to the Great Wall was relaxing, and she shared interesting history and insights about China in a way that felt natural and never overwhelming. After a quick lunch, Sunny guided us along the wall at a pace that felt perfect for us. She was incredibly attentive, checked in often, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. She also took amazing photos and videos—honestly some of our favorites from the whole trip—and knew all the best spots. What really made the day special was Sunny herself. She has such a positive, easygoing personality that made everything feel effortless and enjoyable. It never felt rushed or overly structured—just a really great day with a fantastic guide. At the end of the day, everything was just as smooth—she made sure we got to our train at the Beijing station, and when we arrived in Shanghai, our driver was already waiting to take us back to our hotel. If you’re staying in Shanghai and want a stress-free, well-organized, and genuinely enjoyable way to see the Great Wall, this is absolutely the way to do it. Highly recommend!

It's a big day out but worth the experience. Our guide Leo was extremely good and did his best to ensure that our experience was a good one. He greeted us off the train and took us back to the train on our return. We had poor weather at The Great Wall, but not much anyone could do about that.

Thank you Summer and Elaine for being patient, supportive and professional during our one day tour to the great wall of China. I know it was somewhat challenging with such a large group of over 25 people on a rainy, cloudy and foggy day. You guys brought warmth, kindness and positive energy from the time you picked us up from Beijing train station to the end of our trip at the check in counter at Beijing Airport. I would visit the great wall of China again using the same tour guides, hoping for a clearer day, and making it a 2 day tour.

I recently had the opportunity to tour the Great Wall of China, and I was incredibly fortunate to have Summer as our guide. She was outstanding from start to finish. Summer explained the history and significance of the Great Wall in a way that was clear, engaging, and easy to understand. Her knowledge really enhanced the experience. What stood out most was her kindness and attentiveness. She made sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable, and she was very patient. She was always ensuring that no one was left behind. We had a big group of over 30 people but everyone was able to stay together because of Summer. If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend requesting Summer as your guide. She truly made the experience memorable.
