Nothing short of Exceptional

5.00We started our day, at around 7am, where we were greeted by the fantastic Emma in our hotel lobby. We then we driven to our business class bullet train seats by a very professional driver, who greeted us with refreshments and a smile 😃. Touring around part of the Great Wall of China, was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to Emma and all of her incredible knowledge and accommodating nature. Never once did we feel rushed and Emma knows all the best photo spots 😊. Lunch was had in a secret hidden restaurant, run by some very kind locals. All of the food was delicious and Emma even through in some fried potatos as she knew we were from Ireland 🇮🇪. The East Lake of Linhai was amazing, again all thanks to Emma's wealth of knowledge. We even played a few games of guessing the trivia answers, making it an interactive experience. Overall, this was a once in a life time experience and we will be forever grateful ♥️.
Don’t miss it!

5.00We had a BLAST! Everything was perfect. A very gentle driver picked us up at the hotel at the right time then drove us to the railway station when our guide JUSTIN that was waiting for us. We didn't had to think about anything, just relax and enjoy the tour. All the day went smoothly, Justin provided us an amazing experience at the great wall, telling us about history, religion, showing us every detail about it. Even the best spots to take pictures! We felt spoiled, on a good way. If you want to see the China' history you must take this tour. 1. 000/10! FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00We had an excellent time during this short trips. LInhai worth to visit and we like the beautiful fort, Great Wall and scenery of this place. During our visit the crowd was low make it more peaceful and easy to walk. Our guide Emma, and excellent guide and company. She pays attention to detail as asked me aboutour food preferences. I had some food limitation and she managed to secure a good place for vegetarian for me at this excellent place of food and enviroment called secret garden. Emma’s warm, helpful, informative and bubbly nature made this trip more fun and enjoyable. Thanks to Steven who has also been helpful and upgrade our train ticket due to high season. Our gratitude for this. Thank you Emma and Steven for this wonderful tour of south Great Wall.
If We Can Do This With a 4-Year-Old, Anyone Can!

5.00Jenny was a great guide and made this day trip really easy for us, especially since we were traveling with our 4 year old. From the beginning, she paid attention to our vibes and adjusted our pace naturally so we never felt rushed or stressed. She was fun to be around, easy to talk to, and very accommodating. Traveling with a toddler can slow things down, and she handled that without making it feel like a problem at all. At one point, my son just didnt want to walk. Lol, so we carried him up those stairs. She also ended up taking a lot of photos for us along the way, which we didn’t expect but really appreciated. One of the nicest parts of the day was walking along the wall near the food area. We were able to walk, stop to eat, and just enjoy ourselves without feeling like we had to hurry to the next stop. Everything was well organized, from the train ride to Linhai to visiting the garden, the Great Wall, and the old street. Jenny shared helpful context and history but kept things relaxed and easy to follow. This was a really enjoyable day.... 10/10 stars, and a big part of that was Jenny’s attitude and flexibility. I’d definitely recommend her, especially if you’re traveling with kids. If we could do this with a 4 year old, any one can do this day trip. My wife is planning on doing a girls outing trip and will definitely find Jenny again.

5.00Jordan, my guide, was terrific — friendly and knowledgeable. It was great getting on the bulletin board train and seeing the countryside. The lake and temple are beautiful. Walking a portion of the Wall was incredible. Glad to be able to access it from Shanghai.
