I did the tour from Zhengzhou, with a bullet train transfer in both directions. In Beijing I was picked up by the guide Sherry and the driver Gao, who then brought me to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. Both of them were very nice and professional and Sherry was happy to answer any questions I had. On the wall itself Sherry gave all the necessary explanations and then let me walk around as much as I wanted. After the visit, they brought me to the tea house nearby where it's possible to participate in a tea ceremony, taste local teas, and buy some. Finally, lunch was in a local restaurant not far from there, with good Chinese food.
