“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Our guide and driver are both incredibly friendly and helpful. The tour consists of two segments - one for Gubeikou, which is less well maintained, and one for Jinshanlong, which is better maintained, both are cool and the contrast is very interesting. Neither segment is crowded and for long stretches of time we’d be the only people around, which was great.”

“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”

“He was communicative via WhatsApp. We were easily able to communicate via translators. He was friendly and on time. He helped me to get my ticket and showed me how to get to the cable car. The actual site was beautiful and well worth the visit.”

“Mico and his driver were fantastic!! My family of four had such a fun and memorable experience.”

“GREAT WALL REVIEW I and a friend of mine transited through China for a week and had the chance to visit the Great Wall by booking this tour. As to the cost, we concluded that for the completion of the service, its cost and its long duration (see as a positive tract), this was the best (and considering all alternatives to see the same things in a way the most affordable too) option to opt for. Our guide, who goes by the English name Myco (or Myko), used the long journey from Beijing to the Wall to first introduce us to some aspects of Chinese everyday life, which we would…”

“Had a great time hiking the Jinshanling Great Wall. Very beautiful, and not crowded at all. Our guide Boya was super nice too. Would absolutely recommend!”

“Selfguided hike from west to east gate of Jinshangling Great Wall. 3 h with foto stops. Shared transport with 3 other people. A guided service for this part of the Great Wall is unnecessary. Given the difficulties to go there by public transport, the tour was a cost effective way to do the hike.”

“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”

“This to me is the very best way to experience the Great Wall, provided you are active and can enjoy a 3-hour hike by yourself which sometimes can be a little steep. Jinshanling is far enough from Beijing to not be crowded with tourists we Read more”

“Great day out. Our driver Peter, had limited English, but was incredibly helpful with tickets and making sure everything ran smoothly for us. We were in Beijing on business in the winter, but had all our cold weather gear and had the Great Wall viRead more”

“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”
