Historical experience on the wall

5.00Friendly and very historical knowledgeable guide. Helpful on the whole trip with tickets, cable car, shuttle buses, photos and the story of the wall. Due to the weather we did not quite reach the available top. Was subsequently guided to local restaurant with good local food with fresh fish. Generally a super guided tour of the wall.
Very kind, helpful,...

5.00The journey from the hotel to the Great Wall was smooth, taking about two hours, with occasional traffic jams. As we passed through the villages, our guide, Wayne, shared histories of the different villages and the lives of the people there. I was thrilled to reach the highest point, approximately 700 meters high, which certainly fulfilled a lifelong dream. I'm grateful to the guide for his arrangements, which allowed me to fully experience the local culture. Thank you. I'll definitely recommend this tour to my friends.
Worth the trip, ticked it on the buck list

5.00The Great Wall of China has been on my bucket list. As a mountain climbing enthusiast, I had originally planned to hike the Jinshanling Great Wall, but it's been raining in Beijing lately, so I opted for a private tour. The guide was very thoughtful, providing water and an umbrella, and sharing a lot of history and information about the Great Wall along the way. We're both hikers, so we shared a lot of climbing experiences. Wayne's highest climb is 5,025 meters, while I climbed Kilimanjaro. He took care of me throughout the entire Great Wall climb. I highly recommend this itinerary and guide, and I'm so grateful. What a blessing to meet you again!
Best Balance of Price, Comfort, and Fun!

5.00Wayne made my brief solo visit to Beijing absolutely amazing! He picked me up from the airport and brought me back safely, taking all the stress out of my layover. He speaks excellent English, is thoughtful, supportive, and completely adapted the tour to my pace and timing. We visited the Great Wall with ease , no waiting in lines and everything was perfectly organized. A major highlight was the authentic local restaurant with top-quality Chinese food (very fresh and tasty), and the visit to a traditional tea house where I enjoyed a full tea class. It was the perfect cultural touch that made the experience complete. His car was super comfortable, and the whole tour felt smooth, relaxed, and personalized. For the quality of the experience, it was incredible value. I highly recommend Wayne. I’ll definitely be back!
Awesome tour learned so much from start to finish!!!

5.00Such a great day! The guide Wayne is a super friendly and funny guy. He made everything really easy for us. The car was comfy, clean, and the whole trip felt super smooth. And the view is stunning and amazing when you up the watch tower that observe and defense Mongolia army in the past. Visiting the Wall a little bit crowds during the weekend day. So I recommend you guys come here better on weekdays. Totally worth it!
