The view is amazing especially during sunset. Our tour guide Adele is informative and attentive. I really enjoyed myself. It’s a must go!

Absolutely incredible!! If you're planning on seeing the Great Wall in China, look no further. This is THE BEST tour. Leo was a fantastic tour guide. We saw two different spots of the wall and hiked for about 3 hours in total. This is the best tour because you can see the Great Wall during both day time and sunset. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting China!!

An incredible way to see the Great Wall. Private car pickup at our hotel and returned. Visiting two wonderful and different sections of the wall with very few tourists, we had the wall all to ourselves a lot of the day. Very friendly, helpful guide with many interesting stories to share about the history of the wall and China. Enjoyed the tasty authentic lunch. Absolutely recommend this!

An amazing experience. Adele our host could not have been any better. Her English is brilliant, her driver was the best we had in Beijing. I struggled with the heat (34 degrees) but Adele let me take my time and crawl up and down the extremely steep steps in parts. Highly recommended especially if you don’t like crowds and want to see the real wall !!

We had a trip of a lifetime to the Great Wall at Gubeikou and Jinshanling today. Not cheap but every bit as amazing as we had hoped and worth every penny. I have visited the sections at Badaling and Yuyongguan before but they were incredibly busy, commercialized and so perfectly restored that it felt like a Disneyland imitation. So I wanted a more authentic experience when visiting with my family this year. These sections are breathtakingly beautiful and we had it (almost) all to ourselves. And we were taken care of so well from beginning to end by Ricky at the office and David our knowledgeable and pleasant guide, as well as the driver. Highly recommended!!

This was without doubt the most amazing experience. From the hotel pickup at 11.00am to the drop off at 10.00pm, every aspect of the tour was superb. Our guide Adele spoke perfect English, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone, but be aware, some of the steps are very steep and uneven.

This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life! Leo was the best tour guide a person could ask for! I recommend him and his tour for anyone trying to get the best Great Wall experience!

Leo was superb! We had him for our great wall tour and he brought us to the famous Jin Shan Ling for an evening hike. It was raining and we almost gave up. But Leo encouraged us by telling us we will have the best view after the rain. He tried all ways to check on the weather forecast, which was totally out of his way, to ensure that we will have the best experience despite the adverse weather. It turned out to be the best view we have had, it was as if we were in a painting! This was probably the highlight of our entire trip. We took amazing family photos. Leo was encouraging, friendly and has good knowledge about the history of Great Wall. We had an absolutely amazing experience all thanks to Leo. I’d give him 10 stars if I could!

If you love crowded tourist spots and a Disney like experience this is not the tour for you. But, if like us, you enjoy a more authentic experience then I highly recommend this tour. The first stop was a section of the wall with minimal restoration done and almost no one else there. It was about a 20min hike up to the wall and from there we walked for almost 2 hours traversing the wall until we looped down to our starting point. We saw maybe 4 other people the entire time. It was very enjoyable. We had lunch at a local restaurant which was really good. The bok choy was amazing. We then went to what would normally be a crowded tourist location but because this was the late afternoon portion of the trip there were very few people there - maybe a dozen. I can only imagine how crowded it was earlier in the day - a place with a gondola. The hike up was about 20min and you definitely want to be ready for climbing some steps. The views were well worth it. Last but not least, our guide Leo really made it all the more exceptional. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the wall and China in general. He has a great sense of humor and we talked about many more things than just the wall. He’s also a pretty good photographer. :)

I’m so very glad I booked this tour! My main focus was to walk as much of the walk as possible & I got the best of both worlds - old & new. The BEST part about it was the lack of tourists clogging up the view 🙌 it was really peaceful & I got the most iconic pictures - dreams really do come true 😎 I can’t remember my guides name now but she was fabulously informative & answered all my questions 👍

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Had both sections of the wall almost to ourselves. Our guide, Adele, was excellent, telling us the history of the wall and guiding us on the hikes (take trainers or walking shoes - it’s mainly good underfoot but there’s a bit of scrambling and uneven ground on the non-renovated section). Food provided at a local restaurant was fantastic. Last, but not least, the driver was excellent and was there at the end of each hike with ice cold bottles of water! Worth every penny.

Awesome private hiking tour between gubeikou and shinjanling. Leo is a great host and very flexible, we initially started the hike in the rain and he adjusted the course so that we would not walk 4 to 5 hours under the rain. However the weather drastically improved after 30 mins and he called the driver to change pickup point as originally planned. We had a terrific hike, mostly alone on the wall until the very end. It was simply incredible. We arranged the tour on our own after email communication, he picked us up on time with the driver at our hotel. To note that Leo has great english communication skills, being able to have interesting discussion was definitely a huge plus point as well.

Adele was a fantastic tour guide. We went to both the old and restored parts of the great wall. Adele's English was great and she was so knowledgeable about the history. The food at the restaurant was great too! Very convenient car ride and great experience all around. Once in a lifetime

We spent 3 days with Adele , first doing the walking tour of the forbidden city, and then 2 days hiking on the great wall . We had an amazing time , and Adele was very knowledgeable. Leo was very helpful via email before our trip, answering all my questions and accommodating all of our requests. We highly recommend booking a your with Beijing walking tours and definitely visit the great wall

Leo was a great communicator and fun tour guide. We felt safe and well-cared for with him. Our hike at Gubeikou was fantastic with hardly any other tourists and same story with Jinshanling at sunset - amazing experience that surpassed our expectations. Additionally, Leo is a fantastic photographer and took beautiful photos of us that he sent the following day. He even suggested a nice place for us to have dinner and dropped us off there which was very convenient.
