    Excellent day and wonderful section of the Great Wall (very quiet and able to connect to nature). You can see the wall stretch for miles, it is a beautiful site. Would highly recommend for those who enjoy nature, quieter wall section, and hiking (it is steep on some sections).

    I had such a great time! The journey was seamless, smooth pick up from my hotel, a guide took me direct to my train seat and then Spring and a driver picked me up in Xi’an Bei. The terracotta warriors were amazing and Spring was very knowledgeable. Would absolutely recommend.

    The views were spectacular. The walk was the perfect length. Somewhat challenging, but accessible for most people. There were plenty of places to buy bottled water, use the restroom, and buy souvenirs along the way. After the walk, we were treated to a local meal. The summer season is said to be more scenic while the winter season is less crowded.

    Great tour on the Great Wall with very few tourists on this part of the tour. Nice group and cool guide. Almost 10km hike up-and-down - so be a bit trained.

    We have such a wonderful trip in Beijing. Our guide for the trip, Mr Leo, is simply Fantastic! He is so knowledgeable! We learnt so much from him and able to engage in meaningful conversation throughout the trip.

    He brought us to Gubeikou Great Wall and tracked with us through the most amazing hike. It was such a memorable experience.

    He also hiked with us through the sunset in Jinshanling Great Wall. The timing was perfect ! He was the most perfect photographer for our trip. The pictures taken were fantastic!

    Leo drove us to Cuandixia Ancient Village and we were able to experience the nuances of the local life here.

    We love the history & stories shared by Leo during our visit to The Forbidden City & Tiananmen. It's just amazing!

    Thanks Leo for driving us to the Tanzhe Temple. We were able to view the most beautiful autumn hues in the Ginkgo trees.

    Lastly, thank you for bringing to savour the most delicious Peking Duck, the most scrumptious hotpot and the most memorable local delicacy throughout the short trip.

    We love Beijing ! Thank you and blessed wishes to you and your beloved family!

    Starting our adventure to the Great Wall of China was a breeze, thanks to our awesome driver who picked us up from our hotel right on time. The ride there was smooth and peaceful, getting us all hyped up for the day ahead.

    Let me tell you, this isn't just a leisurely stroll—it's a serious climb. The tour covers about 6 kilometers of the Wall, and it’s mostly just steps, going up and down. They don’t kid around when they say it’s for fit folks. I work out pretty regularly, but I was definitely feeling the burn with all those steps. We were on our feet climbing for nearly three hours straight, with hardly any time to catch our breath.

    The Wall is well-equipped, though. There are trash bins and toilets every kilometer, which is super handy. Just make sure to bring your own toilet paper because you won't find any there.

    Also, there are small vendors selling drinks right on the Wall, but the prices are pretty steep. My advice? Pack at least two liters of water per person and some snacks to keep you going.

    Shoe-wise, ditch the trainers and go for some solid mountain shoes. The steps are all over the place in terms of size—some are tiny, but others are massive, up to 45 cm high. And let me tell you, some of those steps are seriously steep.

    If you're thinking there might be some flat parts to catch a break, think again. It's just endless steps up and down. By the end, my legs and calves were totally mush.

    One heads-up: there aren’t any handrails, and some spots are pretty tricky to maneuver through. Each tower along the Wall does have a shelter, which is great if you get caught in the rain. We lucked out with just cloudy skies, but I bet those steps get super slippery when wet.

    All in all, climbing the Great Wall is an epic experience, but it’s no walk in the park. It’s tough, but totally worth it for the views and the bragging rights. Just make sure you're ready for a workout and pack smart!

    I was very hesitant to take this trip but I took the trip anyway and I didn’t regret it a bit. The city was extremely beautiful and calm. There was something really captivating about the city. But, the day was made even better by our guide Mrs. Kris. She was calm and very informative about the city. Very professional and willing to engage with us anytime. She showed us the city very nicely and in a planned way. The sunny day made the trip even better. To get the bullet train experience for a short journey from Beijing and feel a different city, I think the trip is worth it.

    Amazing trip. Stunning! The tour operator was very attentive and provided me with all detailed information regarding the train and how to board. The guide in Datong, Teo George was absolutely brilliant and went extra-mile to offer the best trip. Please, don’t miss this tour to Datong and Hanging Monastery: a truly 5 Star experience!

    I really enjoyed my tour with Mr Aaron!
    He has extensive knowledge of China's history and explains everything very clearly. Chengde is definitely a must visit!

    Outstanding tour! Not crowded at all, even during golden week.
    It is a challenging hike, so physical fitness is a must. The sunset was insanely beautiful and our driver very friendly. You walk at your own pace and only meet again at the central tower. Best thing we did and well worth the long drive (2-3hrs).

    I visited China in September 2024. We visited Beijing and Tianjin through a tour guide Maggie. The tour went excellent as Maggie was knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated to her job. She showed us all the tourist places nicely with all information. I highly recommend people to take her tour service. đź’Ż Satisfied.

    Amazing trip to Simatai Great Wall. The night view below was breathtaking, give us an idea on how the soldiers guarded the towns below, totally giving the soldiers a sense of responsibility.

    Gubei water town was very pretty. Although this place is rebuilt, it gives us a good idea of a water town in the olden times. The drone show was quite nice too.

    We were very happy with our guide, James, who is very knowledgeable, adjusted to our pace and brought us to the right places for the right photos! Being in the onset set of winter means reduced crowd and a different feel of the place.
