Unforgettable Sunset Day Trip to the Great Wall!

This trip was nothing short of magical! From start to finish, everything was smooth, enjoyable, and perfectly paced. Our driver, Leo, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the drive feel more like a road trip with a good friend than a tour. The sunset views over the Great Wall were breathtaking—seriously, pictures don’t do it justice. Watching the sun dip behind the mountains while standing on such a historic monument is an experience I’ll never forget. We also had a delicious meal that exceeded all expectations. Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we needed in between adventures. If you’re looking for a unique, scenic, and well-organized way to experience the Great Wall, this sunset tour is it. Highly recommend!

Our guide Adele was very good and speaks excellent English. She was very informative about Chines history and the construction of the Great Wall. We went to the unrestored 'wild' Wall at Gubekou which was very interesting. We hiked up and along one section of the wild Wall and then back down. took about an hour. Then we very nice lunch at a local restaurant. After that we went to Jinshanling and hiked up and along the restored Wall which is very spectacular. There were hardly any people there and we stayed at the high point until sunset, which was magnificent and an experience not to be missed (about two hours at Jinshanling) Adele was a great guide for us and we would recommend her to any other travellers in the Beijiing area.

Most amazing tour we have been on in Beijing. Went with my dad not knowing what to expect except for the sunset at the end but we ended up enjoying a whole tour about the history of the great wall with our guide Adele. She was communicating both in English and Mandarin for my dad and I and especially accommodating to whatever pictures, routes or hiking preferences we had. Would 100% recommend. Her planning also endured that we had the whole wall to ourselves!!!

Our guide and driver are both incredibly friendly and helpful. The tour consists of two segments - one for Gubeikou, which is less well maintained, and one for Jinshanlong, which is better maintained, both are cool and the contrast is very interesting. Neither segment is crowded and for long stretches of time we’d be the only people around, which was great.
Absolutely worth it!

We had an amazing day with Adele and our driver. It was very cool to see two different, less touristy parts of the wall - there were hardly any other people there. Adele speaks great English and is very knowledgeable. Lunch was delicious and they catered to our vegetarian request. Highly recommend this tour! Thank you!
