Unique experience in a stretch of wall outside mass tourism. Perfect organization both for assistance in the days before and on the day of the excursion (on time, very kind and with perfect English)

Very good tour to Jinshanling part of the Great Wall. Small group in one car makes the drive comfortable and being able to hike the wall yourself is also good!
