I had an amazing experience walking the Great Wall with our guide, Jack. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour feel effortless. Jack shared great stories, answered every question, and kept the day perfectly paced. He made sure everyone was comfortable and really brought the history of the Wall to life. Truly an unforgettable experience—highly recommend this tour, especially with Jack!

Awesome day! Our guide’s (Joe) proposal to change the order of the visit let us enjoy Ming’s Tumbs area in a more relaxed and quier way, and slide option to get down from the Great Wall was super cool. Be ready for a long time in the car, but hope you had a driver as good as ours
The best guide you can find if you come to China
