Recommended - I could not recommend Jenny's Guide's and Henry the driver enough. Henry arrived on time at my hotel and the drive to Mutianyu and back was cool and comfortable. I was traveling solo and it was great to have someone like Henry to walk with me and quickly get me up to the chairlift at Mutianyu. The fact that we left Beijing early in the morning meant that we beat the significant waiting time at Mutianyu when we arrived. Again, highly recommend Jenny & Henry if you are going to the Great Wall!

Tour Guide Peter review - Our tour guide Peter was just fantastic. Show us great hospitality from the moment he picked us up and to the Great Wall. He was also patient enough to stop by their local restaurants for us to get some food before the hike up. Peter also brought us to a tea house (free) right afterwards. I would 100% book with Peter again.

Hassle free and comfortable - I was travelling with my kid and we were well taken care of by Mr Wu from start to finish. He brought us all the way to the starting point, took the chairlift up with us and walked with us a distance showing us the great wall and taking pictures, before returning to the end point to wait for us while we continued exploring on our own. It was very smooth and the only kink was the weather (it rain unexpectedly in the middle of the day). If you would like a hassle free and comfortable experience to the great wall, this is a great option.

First time trip to the Great Wall - Our driver Jack was awesome. Pickup was smooth. Jack took us to the entrance to the wall and help us get tickets to the cable car. We initially wanted to hike up but it was very rainy, so jack help us get tickets and told us what to do. Communication was easy and pickup was quick. Great VIP experience!

the best way to visit the Great Wall with young child - We had a private car picking us up from hotel. The car was new and clean with some snacks which cheered up our daughter who was not excited to go for this trip at first. Jenny was an amazing driver, she kept us very comfortable and safe the entire trip. She also helped us to get tickets and even came all the way to the wall with us to take photos for us. She also helped to keep our daughter entertained while we were admiring the beauty of the sights. I would definately recommend this trip with Jenny especially.

Highlight of our Beijing trip - Our driver was Arien who made contact with us in advance to confirm arrangements. He met us at the hotel lobby as planned and drove us to the wall. We were picked up early because we wanted to avoid the crowds and it was definitely worth the early start. We wanted to do the west part of the wall so Arien arranged the cable car (additional cost). We were then left to go up to the wall and spend as much time as we needed. Overall this was the highlight of our family trip to Beijing and booking this experience meant that we didn’t have to worry about transport and tickets, it was all arranged for us.

100% recommend experience - I had a short layover in Beijing and decided to visit Great Wall of China through this tour. I got picked up at 6AM, driven to the Wall, the driver waited for me while I was exploring and then drove me to the airport. I had Alvin as a driver and would 100% recommend to ask for him (English speaking). I’m a solo female traveler and felt very safe all the time, everything was in a timely manner and I never felt rushed. He took some pictures of me and also helped me inside the airport. Being there that early got me some moments by myself on The Wall. The Great Wall of China is really amazing itself, but having the stress free experience around it made it even better. 1000% recommend.
