5.00Guo picked me up from the airport and took me to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. I chose to hike up the steep path instead of taking the cable car—Guo hiked it with me! The views were incredible, and he was an amazing, fun host. Afterward, he dropped me off at my hotel in Beijing. Highly recommend Mutianyu with Guo!
