off the beaten track combined touristic Mutianyu

5.00This trip will take you from Xizhanzi village to the Nine Eye Tower, and from there continue walking to Mutianyu. The route to Nine Eye Tower is not part of the wall so having a guide is definitely helpful not to get lost. Our guide Ronin and the driver are very attentive and helpful during our trip. Highly recommend it for somebody who wants off the beaten track experience and avoid the crowd at popular places like Mutianyu or Badaling...
I highly recommend this non-touristy tour!

5.00This was my first time booking a tour through Tripadvisor, and it was absolutely fantastic. I spent a long time choosing a section of the wall that would be less crowded during the May holidays in China. I chose Jiankou. The guide took us on a wonderful route, and we saw the old wall, which hadn't been restored. It was quiet and peaceful, with incredibly beautiful views. The guide suggested a route along the Jiankou section, avoiding the Mutianyu route, and it was the best decision. I highly recommend this non-touristy tour!

Hiking to the Great Wall of Jiankou

5.00A wonderful experience. Benny picked us up from the hotel on time, drove us to the starting point, had breakfast before going up to a local place and we left. He explained the history of the Wall and accompanied us along the way from Jiankou, part unrenovated, in fact you do not pay an entrance fee, very wild and inaccessible, for people experienced in trekking. Very nice route, beautiful views and for lovers of fatigue even the stretches where you have to climb are suggestive and fun. Once down we had lunch in a restaurant at base camp, very good and very cheap, and we left for Beijing. Experience recommended for professionalism, timing and availability. Thank you so much Benny!!
Adventure in Jiankou Great Walls!!!

5.00It was a beautiful day and Benny's driving was smooth and comfortable. We reached Jiankou in good time. Benny knew the way so we managed to climb some of the most scenic stations. The views were magnificent with steep walls and green mountains. I was the weakest in my group with two other fit friends. Benny was patient and waited for me. Coming down the mountain was so much harder! I fell a few times so Benny took care of me by helping me most of the way down. Overall, despite the fatigue and physical challenge, I finished the climb. I am really happy to recommend Benny as the driver guide for Beijing!!

5.00If I could give Benny 10 stars I would. Benny was very responsive and good with his communication (English and Chinese) from booking to the tour. He gave insights throughout the tour and made our trip very smooth. Benny knows and loves the Great Wall a lot so he was able to recommend an alternative route and was very accomodating. Jiankou is a must see - possibly one of the most beautiful places and wonders of the world. So untouched and out of this world views. Benny is one of the best guides and drivers and photographers I have met! Will be recommending this to anyone who visits Beijing I hiked the Mutianyu section with my nearly 70 yo father and Benny guided us the whole way Thank you Benny for making our trip amazing I will remember forever
