5.00Traveled with family including two granddaughters. Jun arranged an early pick up as we were traveling during Golden week. He and our driver made the tour very enjoyable. Jun spoke English very well, he was informative and helpful.
Great experience!

5.00We had a great time! Our guide Bobo and a driver picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the Mutianyu. There Bobo went up the wall with us, showed us around but also gave us space to explore ourselves. The whole trip was filled with very interesting stories, histories and fascinating facts, provided by Bobo. The communication was very clear and the trip very well organised, we couldn’t have wished for a nicer experience!

5.00Excellent Great Wall of china trip, Lucy picked us up from the airport and waited for us as we were longer than expected coming through border control. She was there ready for us when we finally got through. We then headed to our huge coach we had just for our party and our luggage. During the journey Lucy went through all the history of the Great Wall and Beijing itself which was very interesting. We arrived at the Great Wall of china and had a spot of lunch. Then made our way up on the cable cars . The view and the wall were magical. It’s a day we won’t forget we had ample time on the wall to walk and discover it and tobbagoned back down to the bottom at sunset. Lucy and the driver dropped us to our hotel the whole trip was lovely and Lucy was a fabulous tour guide. They also have sorted a private tour around Beijing and also a transfer to and from universal studios. Would not hesitate to book again or recommend them to anyone 😊

5.00Our tour guide Jerry texted the night before to confirm the time we wanted to leave. He picked us up on time and we had a pleasant drive to Mutainyu. He gave us the history of this part of the Great Wall and answered all our questions. We took the chair lift up the mountain. Jerry explained the parts of the wall we could walk. We ended up walking from part 1 to part 8. It was a lovely day for a walk. It probably took us a little over an hour. Jerry took pictures but mostly waited in the middle (point 4) of where we walked and held our bags, which we appreciated. He didn’t rush us. We took the toboggan down. If you can, wait a minute after the person before you so that you can ride down at your own pace. Jerry picked a nice place for lunch (not included) in town. A really nice day.

5.00I took this tour with my husband and we had a great time. Having a dedicated driver and tour guide made the process much more smooth than booking this on our own. Maggie was our guide and she did a great job showing us around. If youre thinking of going to the Great Wall - book this tour!
Great time with Maggie at the Great Wall!

5.00We had a great time at the Great Wall of China today! Highly recommend booking earliest time you can - we chose the 7:30am tour and had almost no wait time. Linda did a great job of telling the history and facts about the wall.
Visited the Great Wall with great friends and Linda!
