1.Water-Great Wall Odyssey: Hike & Cruise One Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 94 reviews · 9 hours · from $52Our pick

One-day Great Wall hike at Huanghuacheng, with an included lake boat ride and skip-the-line entry, plus optional rafting for thrill seekers.

“The part of the wall we went to was very pretty and nearly empty of tourists save for our relatively small group. Cici gave us a lot of information about the wall's construction in both English and Chinese, and was a friendly guide throughout. Answering so many questions, simple such as how to tell which side faced out of China to more complex ones such as about signalling on the wall. She kept us going and we never felt rushed. After the tour Cici gave us some recommendations for places to visit in Beijing.”
