Amazing experience with a great guide! Just be prepared for long, long queues.

4.00Our guide, Mike, was very enthusiastic, informative and helpful, and the Great Wall itself is majestic and well worth all the hype. Do be prepared for long queues: the tour was presented as if you could do the East and West sides of the wall in one day, but we spent almost two hours in the queue for the east side cableway (added to the 20 minutes we wasted due to going to the cable CAR, which was completely different than the cable WAY), and by the time we explored the East Side, there was almost no time left to explore the West unless we opted to miss the bus home and take a pricey taxi instead. To his credit, Mike refunded our unused ticket for West side without any hassle. Also, the lunch buffet was amazing, and a great value for the small cost. With slightly clearer directions about where to go, and a more realistic estimation of queue times, this would be a "5." Even as is, it's a great tour, hence the "4" - as non-Chinese speakers, there's no way we could have navigated this process at all without the guides' help.
Does not get you to the Great Wall

1.00This does not bring you to the Great Wall. It brings you to a parking lot near the Great Wall. Another $20 are needed to finish your trip which must be paid on the bus….
Excelente tour

5.00Michael redefined accessibility. His "gentle ascent" strategy: electric cart to cable car, priority boarding, then a flat 800-meter "Emperor’s Walk" between Towers 14-15 with custom folding stools at 100m intervals. His binder showed enlarged Qing Dynasty scrolls of the Wall, sparing neck strain. At rest stops, he passed around tactile models: a crenellation replica, a granite joint sample. Lunch at Mubus House featured arthritis-friendly cutlery and medicinal bone broth. His "micro-toboggan" option covered just the gentlest 400-meter descent. When Beatrice tired, Michael summoned a sedan chair carrier (pre-booked, 150 RMB) while walking beside her telling stories of imperial palanquins. The return shuttle had orthopedic cushions. Dignity intact, wonder amplified.
Lift should have been included

4.00As expected, the wall was very busy. From the meeting point to actually standing on the wall was 4 hours, 1 hour of which was waiting in line for the lift. Once there the lift was extra. The lift ticket was not included in the price. We included a buffet lunch which was wonderful.
Great tour with plenty of free time to explore

5.00Very well organized. Meeting point at the metro station was easy to find, comfortable transport and plenty of time to explore both sides of the wall. Lunch buffet was also really good with lots of options for both vegetarian and non-vegetarians.
