We chose a Private Transfer without a guide to Jinshanling with Catherine Wu Tours because we wanted to explore the wall on our own. And we totally made the right choice!
From the outset, Catherine We Tours were great to deal with, communication was swift and clear, we were picked up and dropped of from/to our hotel with ease.
Our driver Lu Xiaolong went over and above to make our trip unforgettable.
If we could give him 10 stars, we would!
He shouted us a surprise breakfast after we forgot to eat before we left. He gave us snacks, water and was really friendly and helpful. His car was modern, comfortable, clean and well air-conditioned. We communicated easily via a translation app that Lu had on his phone 🙂 He has a wonderfuly positive outlook on life, is very knowledgeable and attentive.
Jinshanling was AMAZING. Most of the time we had the entire wall to ourselves, it was very relaxed, quiet and stunningly beautiful, a spectacular spot and good break from the hustle and bustle of the city.
There are so many photo opportunities at this part of the wall. Some restored parts and some left unrestored, which adds to the magic ✨
We highly recommend choosing Catherine Wu Tours and our driver Lu Xiaolong. My only wish is that we had more time, I guess we will have to plan another visit in the future!
