5.00Mr Guo was a great host. He picked me up on time. He drove safely and well. He walked with me up the mountain to ensure I got to the Jiankou tower safely - the trail was steep and slick from rain. He explained the route I needed to take to get to Mutianyu. He also clearly explained my options to get down off the wall and where he would be waiting for me. Knowing the hike can be exhausting he had bananas and water ready for me. If that wasn’t enough, I had to change hotels today, so he took me to my new stay and brought in my bags. I will use Jenny’s Guide and Driver Service again, and I will request Mr Guo. Also, his English is very good and his Chinese is excellent. 😀
Good trip to a perfect section of the Great Wall

5.00Just made a trip with Jenny and the driver Mr. Guo. Great trip, all went smoothly. In the destination the driver accompanied us a part of the path to the wall. This undiscovered section offers a real feeling of the Great Wall. The Mutianyu tourist section of the wall is crowded. In all good and safe drive to and from the wall.
