          Perfect guided hike for couple
          It was an excellent experience. Service was as described. This hike would not be possible without a guide and personal driver. We are very happy with peter, the driver and the company. Would recommend to all.

          Fantastic Tour w/Truly Excellent Guides
          James & Peter are amazing tour guides with excellent English and the perfect level of bringing to life the beautiful and amazing history of the Forbidden City and Tienanmen Square. I recommend both of these highly qualified guides to help bring the jewel of Beijing to life! Pro tip: Ask Peter to do a back flip!

          Jiankou Wall Technical Hike - James!!!
          James is simply a masterful guide. His knowledge of the wild parts of the Great Wall is unmatched. He both takes the time to explain the environment, it's history with local flavor in addition to the technical aspects of hiking this often treacherous, rarely used part of the wall. In our 4 hour hike, we climbed 70 deg stairs, highly difficult and technical passages all with Jame's expertise guiding the way. We really can't thank him enough for a spectacular day, in and out of light rain that led to a truly memorable experience. The Jiankou part of the Wall is a must do for any serious technical hiker and James is only guy who we'd venture out there.

          A great way to see the Wild Wall
          This was a terrific hike that exposed us to a wild section of the Great Wall with stunning views and steep climbs. A great option for those looking to avoid the crowds and test their hiking prowess! James is an excellent guide who looks after his customers' every need, including transportation and food, and provides helpful context. Will definitely be doing another hike with him!

          A unique hiking experience along the Great Wall
          This was a wonderful and unique opportunity to see a part of the Great Wall that has remained basically untouched for centuries. The views are spectacular. When we approached one of the highest points - the so-called Flying Eagle - two real eagles appeared, flying over us! The hiking is not easy, as there are many steep and rough patches to overcome and the path can be quite slippery at times. But our guide Peter was amazing: so knowledgeable and helpful, he provided interesting information about history and nature, as well as invaluable tips on how to overcome the hiking challenges along the way. And he patiently waited for us when we slowed down - the trip took a bit longer than we anticipated, but it was definitely worthy! Highly recommended to those who are not afraid of taking some risk and making some effort to climb a truly authentic section of the Great Wall!

          Family hike on Great Wall with amazing views
          We had such an amazing hike with Peter, who was an excellent guide. He tailed everything to our family’s needs as we were travelling with our 3 kids ages 10 and 14. Peter shared so much interesting facts and history and was so friendly and engaging with the children. The hike itself was breathtaking with views of the ancient Great Wall winding through forests and mountains. I cannot recommend highly enough

          Beautiful scenery and a nice hike at the Great Wall.
          Thanks to our guide James for bringing us to a wonderful part of the Great Wall. The view from the hike was amazing! He told us interesting facts about the Great Wall and the area around, and made sure that we had a really nice day from the moment he picked us up, and until we were back in the city again.

          Absolute best pick for a complete 1 day Datong Grottoes and Temple visit!
          We are so glad we picked this tourguide! A greatest day in the Datong area! Perfect english speaking guide Anna, very relaxed, friendly, knowledgeable, close local connection with the area and proud of the historic heritage. She has excellent feel for the needs of her travel party and arranged a perfect car - very important since tje two sights are quite far apart. The trip however is cut in two parts with a stop at a fantastic restaurant! Could not have been better. If you read this, thanks again, Anna!

          Experience the wall in solitude
          Not to miss trip to see unrestored parts of the Wall, amazing views, very good & friendly guide who clearly knows the way and can navigate this part safely. Provided water, walking sticks and a lovely lunch in a local restaurant. Car & driver are excellent as well. Don’t attempt it alone - need to navigate the woods & avoid closed off & dangerous sections of the wall as local gvt is blocking access.

          Avoid the crowds and see the Great Wall in it's unreconstructed state
          Being relatively far out from Beijing, the Gubeiikou section of the wall is ideal if you want to avoid crowds and see the wall in a relatively unreconstructed state. We were there on a beautiful Wednesday in May for three hours and saw exactly two other people. The section is also relatively flat, although we still climbed 74 floors according to my phone, Our guide, Peter, was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The tour was entirely private, just our group, so we could go at our own pace and take all the pictures we wanted. Lunch was a delicious addition. It comes after the hike, so bring some snacks and eat breakfast. There are cheaper options, but you will not regret spending the money.

          Amazing Great Wall hiking day trip
          The Great Wall hiking day trip was my personal vacation highlight! James, our tour guide, was super friendly, funny and took care of everything. He organised the pickup in Bejing, guided us on the Great Wall and introduced us to traditional chinese food after the hike. This day trip was way better than the typical way of visiting the Great Wall at Mutianyu which I have also done during my trip. You get to be active, see nicer parts of the Great Wall and experience a true adventure!

          Amazing experience!
          I had an amazing experience taking this private hiking tour. I didn't want to go only to the typical tourist spots. So this tour is the perfect combination because you start in the most pristine zone of Jiankou and end up in Mutianyu, where you can take the cable car to go down. I was a bit anxious about the intensity of the hike, but I can confirm that it is completely doable. The first section of Jiankou was my favourite part; we really had the Wall for ourselves. My guide, Peter, was funny and experienced and since I was travelling by myself, he was very kind, offering to take some pictures. Worth every single penny.

          Not to be missed while in Beijing!
          Since it was a chinese holiday, the tour company decided to begin the day earlier to avoid the crowds and traffic jam on the way back, which was a great call. We’ve arrived at the Great Wall, when almost no one was there! I was able to walk around places where the wall was completely destroyed, partially reconstructed and fully reconstructed. The views where amaaaazing! I know this is an expensive tour, specially if you go solo, such as myself, but it’s totally worth it. This company is very professional, the driver was great, and the guide was a lovely person to be around :) He explained a lot of curiosities about the wall, as long as its history, and answered all my questions. Lunch was also great, pretty local, with veg options :) They provide enough water and snacks a long the way. The hike is pretty easy, not much physical effort required. I can’t express enough my gratitude for this tour! Not to be missed while in Beijing!
