Southern Great Wall - Linhai

5.00We had a great experience with our guide Jordan. The whole process was seamless from start to finish. Even though I had initially booked the wrong dates, it was quickly rectified by the team and with no hassle to ourselves, which we deeply appreciated. Jordan was knowledgeable and shared lots of key facts and information during the day. We were able to go at our own pace and enjoy the surroundings and the walk through the gardens and the wall itself. We felt completely looked after and would recommend this as a great way to see a historical site when staying in Shanghai particularly. The bullet train experience wasn’t too long, 2.5 hours there and three hours back, so we didn’t feel we spent the whole day travelling, and had time to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
Great day in Linhai

5.00Jordan was a great tour guide full of information and interesting conversation. All connections were made smoothly and the day was very enjoyable. Sites are amazing and nice to see the countryside from the bullet train.
This is a beautiful day...

5.00This is a beautiful day out learning about history and culture. My guide Emma was very knowledgeable and had a genuine desire to teach you about this wonderful town's beautiful culture and she made sure everything was taken care of so that I could just relax and have a nice time. Lunch was also yummy. I had a fantastic time!
Enjoyable experience!

5.00Very fast response from the beginning almost like too good to be true. It was almost a 12 hours trip in total but very enjoyable. Premium service from the private cars (Mercedes then Tesla!!) to first class train rides. Jordan, our guide, speaks good English, was very fun and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the whole day with him and kinda sad when we departed at train station. The greatwall was much nicer to see because only several people were there. It would be a good hike too if you have time. I hope this travel agent would put more destinations for tourists to see around Lihan and surroundings. It is a lot nicer to have local guides to guide us around who really know the area.
Great day out on the great mini wall of China! Super organisation and guide

5.00Full day trip to Southern wall of China (not part of great wall but Impressive none the less) Transfers from hotel to bullet train which was super cool. Hit the wall, walked a good KM along it, history says it was started about 1600 years ago and rebuilt in 15-1600s which isn’t dissimilar to the main one you visit in Beijing. Weather was a bit overcast which meant pics weren’t as good but still an excellent day. Out tour guide Summer was lovely, friendly and helpful. After the wall we walked the old town gardens had lunch and returned home. Door to door 12 hrs or so. We were here for a cruise package deal and this was a great way to see another part of China on a short 3 day Shanghai Trip. Well worth it if you can afford it.
highlight of our trip!

5.00Great experience seeing The Great Wall in the South! Summer, our guide, was informative, friendly, and a wonderful host. Also, the lunch spot she took us to was the best meal we had in Shanghai/China. Great options for veggie, meat, and fish. Note, it was very cold in mid-January, so bring lots of warm layers.
Day Trip Tour of Jiangnan Great Wall and Ziyang Old Street from Shanghai

5.00I had a fantastic day exploring the Jiangnan Great Wall and its surroundings yesterday with the lovely Emma as my tour guide! Emma’s communication before the trip and deep knowledge of the area were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend! Her time management and organisation of the trip, meant I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even went out of her way to grab me a coffee en-route, which was very kind. Emma gave really amazing insights in to the history and details of the area, keeping information engaging and fun. After a stroll around the wall (which was awesome!), we explored Ziyang Old Street before popping for some lunch, which was delicious! Emma seems to know all the best spots and hidden gems! A fantastic trip from start to finish and all thanks to Emma!

5.00If I could give this tour 6 stars, I would! Thoughtful customer experience from start to finish. I spent a great day with my guide, Jordan, learning a little of past and current China. Was my first day of the trip and highly recommend to other visitors looking for an immersive cultural experience not far from Shanghai.
Great trip to Linhai
