“John was an amazing guide, gave us a lot of gifts, very communicative (although he had to use translator - there is no guide in English) Overall was a great experience, amazing view, this spot is quite empty and the hike was not as hard as we thought (medium - easy level)”

“Amazing experience! Seamless pick up from our hotel and great driver. We did the private tour. Our guide, May, was very knowledgeable and took us on a great route. This location had very few tourists and incredible views. 10/10 would recommend.”

“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!”

“Excellent way to see & experience the wall both more natural (minimally restored) and restored sections. Amazing views of the wall snaking over the mountain ridges in both directions. Our guide, Cheney, was great with both historical and local information. Excellent lunch & friendly driver rounded off a great day out!”

“This tour is really convenient if you're only in Beijing for a short period of time. It includes hotel pickup (my guide, Jane, met me in my lobby) and drop-off, and the guide is really flexible on how much time you want to spend at each location. My group included 3 other travelers, another solo traveler and a couple, and it was the perfect size. The included lunch was delicious, and they accommodated and double-checked our dietary restrictions (no pork). I went in August, and at this part of the Great Wall, there was actually not very many people. It was beautiful. I highly recommend taking the chair lift up…”

“The drive to the wall was a bit dodgy with the driver nearly falling asleep at the wheel. But when we got there he dropped us off at one gate and arranged to meet him 3 hours later at the east gate and we walked the wall. It was hard Read more”

“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.”

“Combining unrestored, quiet "wild wall" of Jiankou with the beautiful restored but much more popular Mutianyu, you really get the best of both words. Our guide Peter appointed by Greatwall Trek Club only further enhanced the experiencRead more”

“Awesome! The day our family of 5 spent with our guide Peter was a real highlight of our 2 weeks in China and exceeded expectations - the remoteness of the area was such a contrast from Beijing. We could not fault the schedule, content or delivery of the tour. Peter and the driver were punctual and picked us up as arranged. The whole day was really informative and we got a great insight into the history of the wall through the ages. Peter was great with our kids during the hike - it was a bit rainy and slippery in parts and he was very happy to help out with…”

“I cannot rate James high enough. Our day today was outstanding! At the beginning of our trek, he asked my wife if she was afraid of heights. After a somewhat hesitant 'yes', he took her hand and helped her up and down the entire length oRead more”

“This off-the-tourist-path hike gives you an amazing experience. Step away from the crowds through a side passage and walk through the bush along unrepaired sections of the wall. Our guide Taka was fabulous, even producing an unexpecteRead more”

“The trip was very well organised from start to finish. It was a very beautiful part of the wall and it was a perfect length and level of difficulty for us. Our tour guide Linda (Travel China Guide) was very helpful and gave us options along the waRead more”

“We had a great day trip. The Jiankou section was absolutely amazing to see. Our guide Justin was kind and knowledgeable about the area and history. We also had some extra time in the afternoon because we walked fast and could join a tea ceremony which was a real cultural experience. Highly recommend this tour.”

“The Two-Day Great Wall Hike was fabulous and one of the best things I have ever done! Yaxin, my guide, was outstanding, always so informative about the area and structure.The hardest part of Day 1 was hiking through the woods Read more”
