5.00The tour was fantastic, and Keith was very welcoming and an excellent tour guide. Thanks to this trip, we avoided the crowds and were almost completely alone at the Great Wall. Just a few hours later, it became extremely crowded, so the early start was definitely worth it. We stopped at a restaurant for lunch, and the food was delicious. The entire trip was comfortable, well organized, and luxurious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a more peaceful and enjoyable Great Wall experience. One small suggestion for improvement would be to include more information about China, its history, and the Great Wall during the drive. A short 5–10 minute video or presentation would add valuable context and make the experience even better.

5.00Incredible experience and worth every penny. The tour guide was called Keith who was brilliant. He educated us, gave us space to explore and brought humour to the tour. The lunch was really good. Definitely do The great Wall early as the crowds build quickly. We came down at 11am to find the queue to go up was 2hours long. We had no queue.
Highly recommend!

5.00Picked up - one less hassle. Comfortable vehicle. Good knowledge and explanations. The Wall was excellent, take good walking shoes. Lunch was also excellent. If over 60 you’re not allowed on the luge 😢. Passport you must take. Dropped back at the hotel. Definitely worthwhile.

Be aware of tea ceremony visit

2.00The tour to the Great Wall was great—no complaints there. That said, be cautious if you're suggested a tea ceremony. First off, it's not a traditional one; it's more of a tasting session. Second, they'll push you to buy tea afterward, but it's wildly overpriced—city prices are way cheaper.

5.00Great experience, it is worth getting up earlier and being on the wall first thing in the morning, as there are still relatively moderate visitor numbers. The food was also great and our guide from Addfiction Travel was also great and guided us through the day with very good English.
